Building the Body is published 4 times a year and gives a new slant on bodybuilding. It’s all about how to get the most from your training by having a holistic approach, paying attention to all aspects of your workouts, nutrition, attitude and recuperation. Unlike other bodybuilding mags that contain 75% advertising, it contains no paid advertising, just helpful information based on my personal experience and that of my clients.
In this edition: 1. Mr. Olympia 2012 -- was held the weekend of September 28th. The Olympia Expo ran Friday and Saturday at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Mr. O. competition was won again by Phil Heath with Kai Green a close second.
2. Serratus & the Pullover -- learn how I developed my serratus anterior (where the lats meet the ribcage) to add impressiveness to frontal arms overhead poses. This exercise is the one needed for developing the vacuum pose.
3. Weighted Linear Resistance Training -- Why is it so effective? Because it combines weighted movements with latex bands to increase peak contraction and maximize time under tension. We've been getting a great pump on each set combining weights and cables in the same movement.
4. Time Symmetry -- What's that? It says there are no special moments in time, one moment is as good as any other. In terms of bodybuilding the goal for longevity is to adhere to time symmetry as closely as possible throughout one's life. It's about staying in the present moment and conserving energy.
