Hey
guys, thanks for checking out the August edition of the “Blast of the Month” workout exclusively here on RxMuscle.com. This month we are blasting arms, so lets get to it! Here is this month’s “Blast of the Month!”
“Sun’s Out…”
Cable Curls: 100 total reps
Start it off with some cable curls for 100 total reps, as many sets as it takes. Use a moderate weight here...
Weight Gain Mode
I started working out at a weight of 120-ish pounds in my early 20's. I had the hardest time putting on size. I went through a lot of resources to finally learn how to put on weight the right way. At first, my experience of weight gain was eating food like KFC or McDonald's. I did put on weight but I was also carrying a lot of body fat. The more I worked out and saw results, the more I wanted to compete in bodybuilding, which I finally registered for back in 2004. It took me about 4 years to prep because when I started, I weighed at about 150lbs. I did a lot of research on nutrition from bodybuilding magazines and sites to asking the trainers at Gold's Gym in Pasadena who have competed before. I got great advice from them using my own body as an experiment...
Over 
the years, one of the subjects most discussed is the issue of how frequently one should work a given body part. When I first started training in 1974 (at the age of 14), many of the bodybuilding magazines (...the early versions of Muscular Development, Iron Man Magazine, Strength and Health, Muscle Builder Power, etc.) often printed profiles of the top names at the time, along with their workout programs.
In the mid 70s, the popular belief was that a bodybuilder should ideally train a body part three times per week. For example, it was common to see an article about Arnold Schwarzenegger, outlining his workout program as follows:
I’ve 
been lifting for a long time now and always get the question of how I got my arms to where they are. The reality is I have been blessed with great genetics in terms of round muscle bellies and small joints which make my arms look bigger than they actually are. It’s a gift and a curse because they look great in the gym, but get me marked down in competition because the judges tell me they are too big. I guess there are bigger problems I could be complaining about with my physique. Don’t get me wrong I’ve put in a lot of time and energy to get these arms where they are. A couple of buddies of mine at my gym coined the phrase “Angel Arms” when talking about getting their arms to look the way they want. Needless to say everyone has strong points and weak points in regards to their physique. I will share some techniques I’ve used that can hopefully turn those pipe cleaners into weapons of mass destruction!!
Here are some points I want to cover on how I’ve gotten these “Angel Arms”:
One 
of the biggest problems we run into when training is hitting a plateau. We all know it is good to change things up occasionally. Most workout programs are similar, 8-12 reps, 3-4 sets per a body part, and 3-5 exercises. That’s the norm and many of us, even if we change up the exercises, do not change up the style of training. So here is something different to try for your next bi and tri workout. Let me first tell you that with this program I would do biceps on one day and triceps on another. I would not attempt to do both in the same day...
For 
the majority of us, heading to the gym is an important aspect of our day. So making the most of that visit is crucial to your results. Here are some tips to help you improve the quality of your next workout.
1. Bigger Better Arms – Keeping your elbows held close to your torso will help get you the most from each rep. Remembering never to sway and isolate best as possible.
Hey
guys, thanks for checking out this month’s “Blast of the Month” workout exclusively here on MensPhysique.com & RxMuscle.com. We had a great response to last month’s “Levels” workout, so for this month I kept with the same structure. This time we’re hitting legs and were hitting them HARD! I’m not going to waste any more time, let’s get into this “Blast of the Month!”
“Deadlegz”
Barbell Squats: 15, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6
Increasing weight with each set. Go heavy here, first two sets are warm-ups.
---superset with---
Leg Extensions: 20, 20, 20, 20
Use a moderate weight following the heavy squats.
---superset with---
Body Weight Stationary Lunges: 30, 30, 30, 30
Finish off the first tri-set with body weight lunges, 30 on each leg...
If 
sprinting is not part of your routine, it certainly ought to be. If you have been having trouble losing those extra pounds and building lean muscle and are in the gym working out consistently while eating right, the problem just may lie in your speed.
You may have noticed the difference in physiques between long distance runners and sprinters. Part of this is due to the long hours training which put the muscles of many endurance runners in a catabolic state. As muscle mass increases, the body’s metabolism does as well. In contrast, the loss of muscle mass slows metabolism.
