A Back Blasting Superset - Bent-Over Rows to Deadlifts

Thursday 27 November 2008 @ 1:11 am

Building a truly impressive back takes hard work and the right exercises. Sometimes, it also takes a few tricks. This superset combination will build a back on just about anybody!

The power of supersets is undeniable. Supersets (doing 2 exercises one after another with no rest in between) are very effective for building strength and muscle mass.

The following is a superset for your back that will pile on muscle like no other. One word of warning: you should be comfortable doing both of these exercises separately before attempting them together in a superset. There will be a link to exercise performance tips and the end of this article.

The first exercise is the barbell bent-over row. You can use either an overhand, wide grip or an underhand, close reverse grip. Both grips are effective but work different areas of the back. I personally prefer the underhand, close grip over the wide grip because not only can you use more weight, I find it hits the lats more directly.

Select a weight that will cause you to reach failure in the 6 to 8 rep range. Do a hard set of bent-over rows then immediately after setting the weight down, move into the second exercise: deadlifts.

You will use the exact same weight for deadlifts, however, you may wish to change your grip to a mixed grip (one overhand, one underhand) so that you can hold onto the bar better.

Do reps of the deadlift until either your grip fails or until a rep before your back fails (don’t do deadlifts to absolute failure - always keep the do-or-die rep in you).

After you get done with the deadlifts, your lats should be extremely pumped up.

There are several reasons why this superset is so effective:

1. It uses two of the best mass-building movements for your back (and body!).

2. The bent-over row uses the lats to actually move the weight while the deadlift uses the lats to help support the weight. Since the lats are already fatigued from the rowing, they will be forced to work far harder when you do the deadlifts. In a nutshell, the rest of your body will help push your lats harder!

3. The weight you use for bent-over rows should be relatively easy for you on the deadlift. This allows you to do even more reps with the deadlift.

4. It is very easy and convenient to go from the bent-over row to the deadlift. All you need to do is change your grip (if even that! You may choose to use the same grip.).

Give this superset a try in your next back workout. The results will speak for themselves!

3 Simple Natural Ways to Lower Blood Sugar Levels

Thursday 27 November 2008 @ 1:11 am

The fact is there are things you can do to lower blood sugar levels. That is not to say that it can be challenging at times having to watch everything you do and what you eat. However with a little care and attention you can make a difference.

1. The first thing you can do is eat more often and exercise. For example, instead of eating 3 big meals a day, eat 4-6 small meals. This can help with cravings; it also helps to level out your blood sugar when you eat smaller meals more often.

It’s hard on your body to eat a whole bunch of food at once. It’s easier for your body when you eat smaller meals.

Exercise actually influences your blood sugar levels and as we all know it helps to keep body weight in check. This can also help with cholesterol. Being physically fit will help your body to function better. Hence it can help with blood circulation and high blood pressure.

2. Another thing you can do is get off of simple carbs. White bread, refined sugar, white potatoes, all of these can make your blood sugar levels spike. If you’re craving sweet stuff, go for sugar free snacks.

There is sugar free cookies, ice cream, candy and cakes. But remember, you should eat these sugar free snacks in moderation. Eating too many sugar free snacks is not good for your health.

3. The third thing you can do, is up your fiber. You should eat wheat bread, veggies, whole fruit, and whole wheat pasta. Fruit juice doesn’t contain the fiber that the whole fruit does. Fiber helps to keep your blood sugar levels steady.

When making any changes, give your body time to adjust. It’s also crucial for you to drink more water. Water will help you digest the fiber more easily. Before you make any diet changes, it’s very important that you speak with your doctor.

You may have health issues that would make it very dangerous for you to make any sudden diet changes. So always do so with caution and consultation.
