Bodybuilding Revealed

I am not a bodybuilder, nor am I destined to become one in this lifetime. However, when I started reading “Brink’s Bodybuilding Revealed“, I could not put it down.

What is BodyBuilding Revealed?

Bodybuilding Revealed

This 632 page book is very well-written and full of useful and interesting information. You get virtually everything you could possibly want to know about bodybuilding, whether you are a beginner, intermediate level, or advanced.

Will Brink is responsible for the majority of this book. His focus is on new bodybuilders and more intermediate level guys and gals.

The topics Brink covers in Bodybuilding Revealed include:

Chapter 1 – Nutrition – which explains fat, protein and carbohydrates, goes into detail about the glycemic index, includes the “Brink Pyramid”, Brink’s Top 10 Bodybuilding Foods, and a section entitled Vegetarians vs. Meat Eaters.

Chapter 2 – Constructing Your Muscle-Building Diet – this is the core of his diet and nutrition plan, and he goes into detail on resting metabolic rate, the thermic effect of a meal, and the energy expenditure of physical energy. This Chapter also includes the Meal Planner and how to use it.

Chapter 3 – Getting Organized – in this Chapter, you learn how to set up your kitchen, dine out, and how to use the Diet Planner and Food Database.

Chapter 4 – Completing the Picture – in this Chapter you learn how to work smarter, track your progress and use the Accumeasure to measure your body’s composition.

Chapter 5 – Supplements – this Chapter reviews a number of popular supplements and reminds you that you can find over 440 supplement reviews in the Members’ Area Forum.

Chapter 6 – Training – this Chapter covers the three and four days splits that most bodybuilders use. More advanced information can be found in the articles by Charles Poliquin and in the Members’ Area Forum.

Chapter 7 – Cardio – Brink goes into detail on cardio and answers the question, “Does Cardio Help…Or Hinder Muscle Gain?”

Charles Poliquin has a great section – towards the end of the book – called “Individualization of Mass Building Programs” – which is targeted to the more advanced body builders. In addition, this section also includes:

Poliquin’s 21 Training For Mass Principles
Introduction to ‘Sample Training Programs’
Sample Training Programs
Are You Delusional About Your Fiber Makeup?

One very convenient feature of the ebook is the hyperlinks in each Chapter that lead you to videos and other information on Brink’s website that explain each exercise.

And, there’s more – this isn’t only an ebook. At the website you will find:

A Members’ Area Forum, with paid professional moderators to answer all of your questions
An exercise database
Meal Planners, recipes, and shopping tips
Good foods and foods to avoid
And, much, much more

If you get confused at all the bodybuilding terms, never fear. Brink includes an appendix with a “Glossary of Bodybuilding Jargon and Slang” and another appendix with “Brink’s Top Mass Gaining Foods.”

As a bonus, included are three training reports by Evan R. Peck, M.D.:

Overcoming Training Plateaus
Misconceptions of Muscle Soreness
Weight Training Injuries

In another very useful bonus, Brink gives you more than ten pages of “Brink’s Hybrid Training System” that “attempts to utilize all of the energy pathways by varying rep ranges, volume, tempo, etc. without over emphasizing any one pathway”.

Should you buy Bodybuilding Revealed?

This is an excellent ebook with access to many bonuses on Brink’s website. Anyone truly interested in bodybuilding should own a copy. Even couch potatoes like me found it full of useful information I could apply to my life.

Whether you are a bodybuilder – or not – you can improve your fitness and health with the information in this well-written ebook Bodybuilding Revealed.

Healthy Soup Recipes

We all know that soup is comfort food, but did you know that soup can also help you lose weight? Include healthy soup recipes in your diet if you want to shed unwanted pounds.

During the cold winter months nothing is more comforting that a bowl of hot soup. Chicken soup with noodles and vegetables will warm your body. Studies show that eating soup produces greater feelings of satiety compared to other types of food. The high water content of soup helps to fill us up. At the same time, soup that is piping hot has to be eaten slowly. This allows us to savor the full flavor of the soup and gives us time to notice when we feel full.

Making soup is easy, and you will find healthy soup recipes that are simple to make. Most of the time, you won’t need a recipe at all. Cut out all unnecessary fat if you want a healthy soup recipe for weight loss.

Making Soup Stock

Healthy soup recipes use stock, although you can use plain water. You can also use stock cubes or bouillon powder. Make your own vegetable or chicken stock for a more flavorful soup recipe.

Chicken Stock

You can make a good stock using the carcass from a roast chicken or the raw bones. Break up the bones and put them in a large pot. Add roughly chopped carrots, onion, celery, peppercorn, thyme, parsley and a little salt. It’s all right if you don’t have all of these extra ingredients. Add enough water to cover the chicken, bring to a boil, and skim off the foam. Let it simmer for three hours, allow to cool, and strain the liquid into a bowl. Chill the stock and remove the congealed fat. This stock freezes well.

Vegetable Stock

Put vegetable trimmings and peelings, a little salt, peppercorns, bay leaf and dried herbs into a pot and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and simmer for 45 minutes. Allow to cool, and then strain the liquid.

A Healthy Veggie Soup Recipe

You can have a delicious, healthy soup in less than an hour if you follow this recipe. You will need 4 cups of stock, 2 stalks of celery (diced), 1 onion (diced), a small turnip (diced), 3/4 -cup barley, and 1/4 Savoy cabbage (finely shredded). Bring the stock to a boil and then add all the vegetables except for the cabbage. Season and simmer for about 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the cabbage, simmer for 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.
There are hundreds of other healthy soup recipes including Carrot and Lentil Soup, Ravioli and Vegetable Soup, Broccoli-Cheese Chowder, and Chicken Noodle Soup with Dill. These nutritious soups pack a lot of nutrients without a lot of fat.
