Life Extension Weight Loss Supplements

Weight Loss Nutrient	Category	Mechanism of Action	Suggested Dosing
Irvingia gabonensis (African Mango)	Appetite Suppression	Decreases appetite by breaking leptin resistance (leptin is a hormone that signals the brain to stop eating). The average weight loss was around 20 pounds in 10 weeks.1	150 mg twice a day.
White Kidney Bean	Sugar Blocker	Inhibits amylase, the digestive enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates to be absorbed into the bloodstream as glucose. Resulted in a loss of 6.5 pounds on average in just 30 days.2,3,4	445 mg twice a day. Take 15 minutes before the heaviest meals of the day.
Brown Seaweed Kelp and Bladderwrack	Sugar Blocker	Together they block two digestive enzymes: amylase, which helps break down starches into glucose molecules, and glucosidase, which breaks down simple carbohydrates into glucose.In laboratory studies, reduced after-meal fluctuations in blood sugar by up to 90% when compared to non-supplemented animals and reduced blood insulin levels by as much as 40%.5	250 mg/day.
Green Coffee Bean Extract	Sugar Blocker	A rich source of chlorogenic acid which inhibits the digestive enzyme glucosidase and the sugar producing enzyme glucose-6-phosphase. The result is lower after-meal blood sugar levels.6	200 to 400 mg/day.
L-Arabinose	Sugar Blocker	Inhibits the digestive enzyme sucrose, which breaks down sucrose to fructose and glucose in the digestive tract for absorption into the bloodstream. The result is improved blood sugar and insulin levels.7	550 mg twice a day. Take 15 minutes before the heaviest meals of the day.
Propolmannan	Fat Blocker	A soluble fiber that binds to bile acids in the small intestine and helps transport them out of the body.8Overall, this will help decrease the number of fat calories from entering into your bloodstream. In placebo-controlled studies, participants lost on average 8 pounds in just 8 weeks.9,10	2 grams twice a day. Take 15 minutes before the heaviest meals of the day.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid	Metabolic Booster	A study that showed a dose of 3.4 g CLA per day for 12 weeks seems to be sufficient to reduce body fat mass (BFM) significantly in overweight and obese humans.11 Another study showed 3.2 g per day increased lean body mass over a 12 week period.12 And a six month study on overweight adults showed CLA decreased body fat in specific regions of the body for all participants.13	3 to 4 grams per day
Fucoxanthin	Metabolic Booster	Unlike many “fat burners” that stimulate the central nervous system, Fucoxanthin works directly in fat cells.14,15 Scientists have found that its weight loss benefits are enhanced by combining it with pomegranate seed oil. The active ingredient in pomegranate oil reduces blood supply to fat cells and prevents them from increasing in size.16,17	200 to 400 mg a day. Take 15 minutes before the heaviest meals of the day.
Green Tea Extract	Metabolic Booster	Its principal antioxidant is epigallocatechin-3-gallate or EGCG. It promotes a healthy resting metabolic rate.18	150 to 300 mg/day.

How Ron N. Stays Competition Ripped

Ron just missed his pro-card in 2011. He says he's going for it again this year. He's ripped to the bone. A natural bodybuilder who is over 40.

I asked him how he gets so lean before a competition and here's what he told me.

No protein powders when he's cutting.

He eats this every 2 hours.

200 grams of chicken breast

150 grams green beans

All Smith Machine Workout Perfect for Planet Fitness

According to Muscle and Fitness, "The Smith machine was invented by fitness legend Jack La Lanne, who had a crudely fashioned sliding apparatus in his gym in the early 1950s. Muscle Beach bodybuilder Rudy Smith saw the device and hired gym-equipment specialist Paul Martin to perfect it. The new Smith machine took up residence in Vic Tanny's Gym in Los Angeles, where Smith was manager. By the end of the '50s, Smith was an executive in Tanny's gym chain, and his eponymous machines were being manufactured and sold. Today, Rudy Smith is 79 and owns Las Vegas Athletic Clubs, and Smith machines are in gyms everywhere around the globe."

Vince Gironda's 10-8-6-15 rep workout

Vince Gironda also known as the Iron Guru was trainer to the stars. Here is one of his classics that you should familiarize yourself with.



Calculate a 6 rep max for the exercise that you are going to use. Rest periods will be 60 seconds or less. Use only one exercise per muscle group.

1.  Use 50% of the 6 rep max for your 10 rep set.

2.  Use 75% of the 6 rep max for your 8 rep set.

3.  Use 100% of the 6 rep max for your 6 rep set.

4.  Use 35% of the 6 rep max for your 15 rep set.

Good luck and get after it.

My Brother In-Law is Strong as an Ox or Army Strong... His simple plan can bring you muscle #gains

He's 5ft 6 and incline bench presses around 315. I asked Kevin what he does and he gave me his base plan. He's a army guy so he may run, do push ups and pull ups on any given day. He said when he can crank out 300 push-ups in a session he knows his bench press is up around 300lbs.

Mon - Wed - Fri 
Decline, Flat, Incline Bench Presses
Front Squats
Upright Rows


4 sets each work in 6 rep range

Stick with poundage until you reach 10 to 12 reps then increase poundage back to a 6 rep range.


Tue - Thur

Push ups, Dumbbell Curls, Dumbbell Kickbacks

Post-Workout Meal 

Can of Tuna

Ramen Noodles

Bodybuilding the Iron Man Way from x-rep.com

Iron Man training

3 Positions-of-Flexion exercises

is a complete full-range mass-building workout for any bodypart. For example, for triceps it's lying extensions (midrange), overhead extension (stretch) and pushdowns (contracted)

 

The X-centric Mass Workout

 

power pyramids

adding weight on each set with a 30-second rest between sets. Those provide more power with two weight increases and lower reps on each successive set (10,9,7).

 

negative-accentuated training (NA)

An NA set is doing one-second positives and six-second negatives on every rep, hitting exhaustion around rep 7. For example, you would use light dumbbells for laterals and raise the weight to shoulder level in one second, then lower slowly for six seconds...

 

           10x10

You take a weight with which you can get 20 reps, but you only do 10; rest 30 seconds, then do 10 more--and so on until you complete 10 sets of 10, although you shouldn't get 10 reps on the last two sets. It takes 10 minutes and you're done--and the muscle is primed for growth...

 

The 4X Mass Workout

4X

Take a weight with which you can get 15 reps, but you only do 10. Rest 30 seconds, then do 10 more. And so on until you complete 4 sets of 10--although on the last set you should hit muscular failure before 10 reps. If you get 10 on the fourth set, use a heavier weight for the 4X sequence at your next workout. Keep in mind, however, that 4X is a concentrated muscle-SIZE-BUILDING method, not a strength-building protocol. You will get gradual strength increases, but packing on maximum mass is the main event.

 

3X

3X pyramid sequences. That's taking your same 4X starting weight for 10 reps, rest 30 seconds and add weight. Set 2 you go to failure with the heavier weight (you'll probably get 9 or 10). Rest 30 seconds, put on a bit more weight and go to exhaustion again on the last set for 7 or 8 reps.
 

The X-traordinary X-Rep Workout

end-of-set X-Rep partials

X Reps are end-of-set partials in the target muscle's semi-stretch position. For example, when you can no longer do full-range reps on chins, you lower to just before the arm's-exended position and do bottom-range partial reps, pulling up to almost halfway...

 

drop sets

To perform a drop set, you do a set to exhaustion at around rep 9, then you reduce the weight and immediately perform another set to exhaustion--reaching it around rep 6.

 

Double-X Overload

DXO: This is simply adding an X-Rep partial near the stretch position between EVERY full rep--so each of your reps is really a 1 1/4 rep. The "hitch" at the bottom between each full rep emphasizes stretch overload, which has been shown to induce everything from hyperplasia, or fiber splitting, to anabolic hormone release in muscle tissue. Plus, as you noticed, it puts more of a mass-building density spin on the set as well...

If you do 9 reps in DXO style, your set will last more than 30 seconds. Now you're getting into density territory for adding size to that side of the key type 2A mass fibers. That's a great get-bigger trigger, especially if you've been using mostly power sets. Your six-pound muscle gain in one month is no doubt due to a combination of density and heightened fiber activation. You get both of those with DXO--and the X-Fade technique...

X Fade

X Fade: With this X-hybrid tactic you do a standard set of, say, cable flyes, a contracted-position exercise in the Positions-of-Flexion mass-building protocol. When you hit full-range exhaustion, where most bodybuilders end the set, you get the cable handles back up to the contracted position--a partner can help--and do three to five short partials there, flexing the target muscle...

 

Then you lower to the stretch position and do standard X-Rep partials there. If you can't manage any movement at either position, just hold for a static pec contraction for a few seconds in at each spot--top flexed and bottom stretched. Key growth fibers will still be firing and you should wake up some dormant ones as well for new size stimulation--you'll feel it...

Doing end-of-set X-Rep partials at BOTH the top and bottom of the stroke with the X Fade will add maybe six to eight seconds to your tension time. Nevertheless, both DXO and the X-Fade tactic are excellent ways to get more density training, activate more growth fibers to fire and give you excellent change to fuel incredible new size gains.

           
 

Tension-Overload program

Pick a weight with which you can get 30 reps--and try to do 30. The burn will be fierce. Rest
40 seconds, then shoot for 20 reps. Rest 40 seconds, then grind out 15. Each set should be
to failure or very close.

example: Midrange: Close-grip bench presses (4X), 4 x 10
Stretch: Cable pushouts (4X), 3 x 10
Contracted: Pushdowns (4X), 3 x 30, 20, 15

 

multi-rep rest/pause, a.k.a. DoggCrapp training

you do a set to exhaustion, failing at rep 9; rest 20 seconds, then do it again to exhaustion, failing at rep 6; rest 20 seconds, then do one last set to exhaustion, getting 3 to 5 reps. Notice that all 3 sets are to exhaustion with only 20 seconds of rest between each...
