There are two old adages that I wish more bodybuilders would live by. “Good things come to he who waits. & Patience is the greatest virtue.” Patience the word is nearly Greek to many competitive bodybuilders that we've met here! Too many bodybuilders just do not seem to be willing to pay their dues in terms of the realistic time it takes to become a consistent champion. Oh sure, there are the occasional over night successes, who win the USA after 4 years of super intense training and total dedication but for every over night success there are hundreds that must train 20 years to develop a truly quality physique. To wit—how long did past greats Frank Zane, Chris Dickerson, Boyer Coe, Sergio Oliva, Lee Haney train before becoming legends? A good product takes time. You can be sure of another thing, too, all of these men took time to enjoy their life and their training on the way to the top.
The crash drug regimens, the extensive amounts of time in training, the bizarre diets and the training is the only thing in life that matters mentality, supports the concept of an impatient extremist. It’s the idea that the bodybuilder is always on a long trip, always impatiently reaching and striving for the final destination. Most eventually come to realize that there is no final destination, it will always outdistance them. Listen to the talk; just a few more steroids, a few more calf raises, a little more protein and you’ll finally get there. Sure . . . and you’ll live happily ever after, right?
Let me ask you, what is the logical nature of an activity if you can’t enjoy the actual basis underneath the activity itself? If you can’t enjoy the trip, the training and if you’ll excuse the cliche, if you can’t stop and smell the roses along the way (or at least eat some ice cream now and then!) what is the use? How many men will win the USA or Nationals this year? Many bodybuilders would do themselves a big favor to concentrate on being actively patient, working on realistic goals, realistic programs, following realistic nutritional plans, and pursuing a more realistic enjoyment of life.
Having and setting goals are important, but don’t forget to enjoy your journey because if you do not, you may just endlessly strive and strive and if you never win that big one, what’s it all for? Develop all attributes of yourself along the way, be patient, enjoy your sport, or you may spend a lifetime striving for nothing.

What is Yohimbine Bark? Yohimbine Bark is an indole alkaloid derived from the bark of the Pausinystalia yohimbe tree in Central Africa. It is a veterinary drug used to reverse sedation in dogs and deer. Yohimbine has been studied as a potential treatment for erectile dysfunction but there is insufficient evidence to rate its effectiveness. It has been marketed as an alternative to the drug Viagra. Some extracts from yohimbe have been marketed as dietary supplements for improving sexual function increase athletic performance.
What is it use for athletes? Yohimbine Bark is said to be beneficial to athletes due to its vasodilation effects on blood flood to working muscles, providing more nutrients and oxygen to improve performance. These benefits have not been substantiated by research as of this time.
What is the best dosage and does it have side effects? The doses of yohimbine reported to be safe vary from 18 mg to 100 mg per day, and should be divided into three or four doses. One study reported that a single dose of 100 mg per day did not prove to be effective. Most researchers deem it to be safe and is generally tolerated well when used in the recommended doses. Increase in dosage may cause anxiety, dizziness, headache, nausea, increased urinary frequency and insomnia. Yohimbine may also cause high blood pressure and, as a result, occasional arrhythmia. The individual optimal dose may be determined by consultation with a health care provider. Men with known and diagnosed high blood pressure or a family history of high blood pressure should not take yohimbine.
Conclusion: As an safe alternative for Viagra, Yohimbine Bark has shown some positives. As a sport performance supplements the research is not as clear as no studies to date show any such benefits for athletes.

Lock 'N Load Arm Training!
By: Bulldog (AnimalPak)
So you want big guns? Well you're not going to get them by sitting on your lazy ass or doing a couple barbell curls every now and then. The only way to get big guns is to train your balls off. But training your balls off doesn't mean pounding the hell out of them every day either. It means starting by asking yourself this simple question: "Do I have the discipline, dedication, and desire it takes to build massive arms?" Let me tell you something, if you don't have the three D's in you, then don't even waste your time. In fact stop reading this article. It's not as simple as training your arms with some weights, taking supplements or injecting some anabolic agents (PEDs). It takes a brain, proper nutrition, adequate rest, food, and a couple of large, animal-sized balls.
The first thing you need to know about growing huge arms is this: Doing the same thing all the time will slow your progress. Your body is an adaptive biological organism that only responds to stimulus when it comes to building muscle tissue. If you do the same routine all the time, your body will adapt, and this will not create a stimulus. In other words, your body gets used to the same old shit and stops responding. It's that simple. This stimulus is not just caused by the routine, but also by the reps performed, the weight used, the exercises you choose, and the intensity. That's right. You need to push those muscles to failure. You need to train balls-to-the-wall.
Now some lifters may complain about the pain or the burn, but I've already told you pussies to stop reading this article. Hardcore is not for you so go back to your "fitness centers" and spas. For the rest of us, pushing to failure is a way of life. But it's not just about the pain. It's also using your brain to decide when it makes sense to go to failure or not. Warming up properly is job number one before taking any exercise to failure. Those of you who have experienced a few injuries know all about warming up properly. So bottom line, your first two sets should not go to failure unless you are already primed to pump.
Attitude is everything. Every time you step into the gym, you should be ready for a war. You got to let it all hang out, no excuses. Those who truly want to grow should understand that every workout counts, every single rep matters. So don't just show up because it's part of your schedule. You got to look forward to your workout. You got to want to crush the weights. Because each and every workout brings you that much closer to your goals.
Now let's talk about arm training. Like the abs and calves, the arms are a small enough muscle group that you can hit them twice a week for better gains - once directly and once indirectly. What I mean by indirectly is that you get a good amount of bicep work with training back. So training arms once by themselves opposite back would be a direct way of hitting biceps. Inexperienced lifters should only train their arms once a week and I would recommend training biceps with back for the first three months. The same applies for triceps.
Triceps are indirectly worked when training chest and shoulders during pressing movements. This means that you could add a second triceps workout opposite chest and shoulders.
Adding the second direct arm workout has a few important benefits for the experienced lifter. First, by training them alone, opposite major body parts, you will have more strength. This translates into bigger gains. Second, by pumping blood into the biceps and triceps during the same workout the muscle fascia is forced to expand, allowing for greater gains in muscle size. Lastly, training arms on a separate day allows for greater concentration during each movement. The body is not pre-exhausted from training a larger muscle group before training arms, the smaller muscle group.
Pay attention to strict form. Keep your elbows in at the side of your body without moving them up or forward while performing bicep exercises. Forward or upward movement of the elbow brings the front delts into the exercise. The same applies for tricep training. Keep your elbows in place and don't swing or jerk the weight to complete the movement. Here are two different sets of arm workouts. Use each one for three weeks before changing the workout.
(After three weeks, try super setting Bicep Routine #1 with Tricep Routine #1. Next, try changing to Routine #2 for both biceps and triceps. Now get out there and train like an animal. Train like you got balls.)

Question: I have tried cold baths in the past to relieve soreness, can i do this with showers also, if so how would I go about it?
Dan C.
Answer: Thank you for that excellent question!
Cold baths work because they dilate the blood vessels and constrict the blood flow while in the cold water. Upon warming up the blood rush pushes out all the lactic acid which speed up the recovery and healing. You can do the same thing with the shower by alternating hot and clod water on the affected area in 30-60 second interval for about 10 minutes before finishing with a complete cold shower for 3 minutes. The effect are very close to the same for recovery. Cold showers are great for helping you CNS recover after a hard workout just like cold baths. So yeah your set!
