    Everybody who is into their training and bodybuilding will be interested in gaining muscle and gaining strength as well as loosing fat the training programme I have just finished was a mixture of all of these it was the LL Cool J’s Platinum Workout
    this is a 22 week programme that I have really enjoyed and had some really great results from it but now it’s finished I am wanting more of a bulking programme so here it is
    Monday Tuesday and Friday are all weight training days but you will need to warm up for 10 minutes on any piece of cardio equipment and cool down for the same amount of time 10 minutes I like to have quite a hard warm up to get my heart rate going and nice steady cool down to bring it down again also on the final set of each exercise perform a drop set of the same exercise with no rest after the final set at a weight that causes you to fail at 8 reps this should be slightly less than you lifted in the previous set.
    Monday chest + triceps
    Flat bench: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Incline dumbbell press: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Cable cross over’s: 3 set 6-8 reps
    45 degree dumbbell curls: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Normal curls: 3 sets 6-8 reps (using curling bar)
    Preacher curls: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Tuesday leg + shoulder
    Lateral dumbbell raises: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Shoulder dumbbell press: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Upright rows: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Squats: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Dead lifts: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Standing calf rises: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Wednesday cardio
    Spinning 40 minutes
    Thursday back + triceps
    Close grip bench press: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Weighted dips: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Skull crusher’s 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Lat pull downs: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Row machine: 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Single arm rows 3 sets 6-8 reps
    Friday cardio
    3 mile run
    Weekend rest
    All exercises should be aiming to reach 80% of your 1 rep maximum for example say you are lifting 100kg on bench press for your 1 rep maximum you would be wanting to aim for 80kg 6-8 reps over the three sets I would start slightly lower and work my way up so for example a set at 60kg a set at 70kg and the final set 80kg followed instantly with another set at say 50-60kg for your drop set
    This training programme will be ideal for gaining strength and gaining muscle while effectively keeping fat at a minimum, as well as this training programme I would suggest a high protein, low fat diet and drinking at least 3-5 litres of water a day, you would probably see results within a few weeks of strength gain size and general condition improving.

    It happens while doing everyday tasks, as you sit at your desk at work or while relaxing on your couch. It’s also happening while you drive your car, as you stand in line, or while sleeping. You have been losing lean muscle tissue every day since sometime in your twenties. You are losing strength so slowly that you probably haven’t noticed. But eventually you will. As you get older many of the activities you could easily do may become impossible. You may not be able to run, climb a flight of stairs without gasping for breath or dig the garden. It will become more and more difficult to carry out the normal function and tasks of daily living. Chores that used to be so easy such as carrying the groceries suddenly become harder. Eventually, just getting out of a chair could be a struggle. The typical sedentary adult loses 3 kilos every decade of lean muscle tissue between ages 20 and 70. We used to believe this muscle loss occured because of the natural process of aging, but research has proven it occurs because we stop doing active things that require strength and the power of our muscles, not because we age. The gradual loss of muscle can start a vicious cycle as it continues to weaken the entire body. It weakens the cardiovascular (heart/lung) system, the muscular system, the skeleton, immune system, nerve cells, hormones and other chemicals. What many adults overlook or are just not aware of is the importance of doing activities that challenge their muscles to get stronger. There’s only one way to stop your muscles from wasting away: strength training exercise. It doesn’t matter if you’re a 30-year-old runner or a 65-year-old grandmother. If you don’t actively work at protecting and preserving your lean muscle mass, you will lose it. Strength Training is exercise that uses resistance – to strengthen and condition the muscular system. This can be achieved with resistance machines or free weights found at a gym or fitness centre. Strength training is not running on a treadmill, using an elliptical machine, or riding a stationary bike. Although those types of aerobic machines use “resistance” to increase the workout intensity, they are machines to increase heart/lung fitness which is not the same as strength training exercise. The good news is that you can easily regain muscle strength, and it is never too late to start a strength training program. Just a few months of this powerful age erasr can reverse years or decades of muscle loss. Small changes can make a big difference, just an increase in muscle that you cannot even see can be all it takes to improve functions of daily living. The greatest return is having the vitality, energy and independence to pursue every moment of your life to the fullest.

    The best trends come when most people least expect them bull moves collapse and bear trends develop and traders are left scratching their heads wondering how it could happen.

    These are trades that offer simply the best risk reward and you can spot them using contrary indicators such as the RSI lets look at it.

    The Relative Strength Index was developed by trader Wells Wilder (check out his excellent book New Concepts in Technical Trading) and is a Momentum indicator and probably the most widely used contra-trend-oscillator in the world.

    The RSI does not show just the markets strength but the strength compared to the markets former price history.

    The technical bit

    The RSI is calculated in the following way:

    Within a set period, the individual differences between the upward closing prices (Close today Close previous day) are added.

    Then the number is divided by the number of observations in the period studied minus one.

    The result is the day’s mean value of the upward and downward strength of the market studied.

    Then the relative strength is calculated by dividing the average upward strength by the average downward strength.

    The RSI is found by subtracting from 100 the quotient of 100 divided by one plus relative strength.

    This is then displayed visually and you can see it on free chart services such as futuresource. com

    Properties

    If the chart displays daily data, then period obviously denotes days; in weekly charts, the period will be weeks etc

    The shorter the Period of time used for the calculation, the more volatile the RSI will be.

    The RSI has a default of 14, which is the value devised by Wilder when originally calculating RSI.

    Other values have become popular such as 9, 11, and 25 days.

    Overbought – Oversold

    The main purpose of the RSI is to measure the market’s strength and weakness

    An RSI, above 70, indicates an overbought bull market.

    On the other hand an RSI, below 30, indicates an oversold market.

    While the RSI can be used as an overbought and oversold indicator it does have other uses.

    Divergences between Price and RSI

    For example, the market makes new highs on the chart but the RSI fails to exceed its previous highs indicating that the trend is about to exhaust itself.

    Don’t use it on its own

    When using the RSI in this way like many contrary indicators it does NOT indicate you should buy or sell.

    A warning of opportunity

    Instead, it is telling you the conditions are ripe for a move and you need to add other indicators to time your move.

    We like the stochastic indicator but there are many options and traders need to experiment and find what works for them.

    In conclusion

    RSI is one of the best contrary indicators and we use it as one of 3 the other two being: % Bullish and The Commitment of Traders Report.

    Try it to set up trades and then time your entry levels and you could soon be making some great contrary trades with big profit potential and low risk.
