Most of you know by now that glutamine is essential for muscle growth and recovery, but this substance is quite a powerhouse for a multitude of essential body functions. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid found in the human body, present in concentrations three to four times greater than any other amino acid. It comprises more than 60% of skeletal muscle and is the preferred nitrogen transporter in muscle cells, creating a positive nitrogen balance. Glutamine plays a vital role in protein synthesis and prevents muscle depletion. It is actively metabolized in nearly all tissues of the body and preserves cell volume.
I hope you all are having a great year so far as we move into the summer months! I know everyone is always looking for new workouts, training styles, etc. and I recently introduced my “Blast Training System” on my website, www.HughesFIT.com. Since it’s release many have adapted the training system into their training regimen with great results!
As I said last month, I will be bringing a fresh, new “Blast” workout here, exclusively for MensPhysique.com readers/followers. Last month, I introduced you all to a Push/Pull style workout, “Swollen,” which many of you tweeted, emailed and posted that you enjoyed. This month, I am bringing you all a brand new Chest Blast workout entitled “Levels.” Just in time for summer!
Derek: Joining us today is Mychal Steven Beauchamp. Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
Mychal: Thanks! I have competed in bodybuilding in the past and Men’s Physique is up and coming so I thought I’d give it a shot and see how I liked it. I loved it!!! I like how your stage presence and personality plays a part in winning because that IS a part of the total package.
D: Can you tell us a little about the Competition you just competed in?
M: April 14, 2012 was the First National qualifier of the year in Colorado!
Ian: We are here with David Kimmerle, winner of the 2012 NPC Cal Championships. Thanks for joining us David.
David: Thanks for having me.
I: How did you feel going into the competition and what were you expecting?
D: I felt pretty good about my prep for the NPC CAL, I held myself accountable with all my tricks. My diet had me a little nervous as I was trying a new way of dialing in but I think it worked.
How many times do you hear someone say that they are doing something to show someone else or to prove their “Haters” wrong? We all probably hear this a lot more than we should! With all of the wonderful people and things that we all are surrounded by, what we should be focusing on is all of the good, all of the Positive! We need to realize that everything and I mean everything ultimately comes down to us! No matter how supportive someone is in our lives, they simply cannot do it for us and ultimately it comes down to what we want and what we are willing to do!
You get your portfolio images in from a photographer and are ready to get cracking on putting them to work for you. But, are you allowed to print these images? Are you allowed to use them on a business card or comp card? What if a magazine wants to run them, can you permit that? What if a company wants to use the image of you for their commercial purpose, what then?
You may be thinking “wait a second, I paid for these images, so they are mine!”
