It’s a well-known fact that in order to build muscle and achieve the size you’re aiming for you need extra calories; more than you burn off during your workouts. This doesn’t give anyone a free pass to eat anything though, there are certain key foods and nutrients every bodybuilder needs to build mass in a healthy, effective way.

It’s a well-known fact that in order to build muscle and achieve the size you’re aiming for you need extra calories; more than you burn off during your workouts. This doesn’t give anyone a free pass to eat anything though, there are certain key foods and nutrients every bodybuilder needs to build mass in a healthy, effective way.
When it comes to bulking, the general rule of thumb is to achieve 20% body fat by eating the right foods to build size and muscle. A good ratio of 40:30:20 (protein: carbs: fat) is what you should be aiming for with your meals so, as well as stocking up on plenty of protein products, make sure you take in the following:
Our protein products Build and Burn, Mass Grow and Whey TP are all designed to give you the highest dose of quality protein to help you achieve the size and strength you’re aiming for. We always love to see your progress. Share your results with us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Whatever your core fitness goal, most of us strive for the same end results; looking good, feeling good and staying healthy. Staying healthy is key for any fitness lover looking to boost their performance and see gains faster. That’s why keeping a healthy heart is vital, whatever you’re looking to achieve. With National Heart Month in full swing, now’s a great opportunity to think about boosting your heart health and ensuring you stay on top form. Want to know how to support your heart and your goal? Follow our diet and circuit plans to stay at your peak.
Your heart is the muscle that pumps blood around your body. Like any other muscle, it needs to be exercised in order to grow and become more powerful. Put simply, the better you take care of your heart, the more oxygen and nutrient-rich blood is pumped to other muscles. That means more power, better performance and faster recovery.
But, cardio isn’t the sole way to improve heart health, and if weight loss isn’t your end goal, there are other things you can do to keep your heart in great condition:
The nutrients you put into your body go a long way in supporting your heart, as well as boosting your overall health. Try and get healthy portions of the following:
Omega 3s found in oily fish, avocado and vegetable oils, as well as in our Fish Oil Omegas.
Zinc found in shellfish, lean beef, chicken and dairy products, as well as in supplements.
Vitamin B6 found in meat, fish, cereals, nuts and seeds, as well as supplements and multivitamins.
Magnesium found in beans, nuts, whole grains and leafy greens such as spinach, as well as supplements.
Polyphenols found in berries, like strawberries and blueberries.
Lycopene found in tomatoes.
Our ZMA Classic provides many of the nutrients required for a healthy heart and also improves recovery and prevents fatigue.
Depending on your fitness goal, factoring in heart health might not be top of your priority list. We’ve got a few tips on keeping your heart healthy without taking away from your progress:
Fat loss:
If you’re trying to shed excess fat and lose weight, keeping your heart healthy should be relatively easy. Simply stick to a regular cardio workout that makes you sweat and leaves you out of breath. This kind of exercise should have your heart pumping double time; if it’s not, you’re probably doing it wrong.
Lean muscle:
Building lean muscle is all about striking a balance between doing enough cardio to keep off excess fat and doing enough strength training to see definition. You’ll need to make sure you’re eating a lot of healthy fats, like Omega 3, as well as a decent dose of protein. In the gym, strength training is important, but to keep your heart healthy you’ll need to do your fair share of muscle maintaining cardio as well. HIIT activities are a great way to achieve this.
Muscle mass:
This is where it becomes more difficult to work heart health into your program. Paying attention to your diet is really important, but, contrary to popular belief, there are certain strength workouts that can boost heart health as well. This is where resistance training is your best friend. We’ve included a quick circuit that’s a great alternative to cardio workouts and takes a fraction of the time:
Dumbbell clean & press (with dumbbells between legs) - 8-10 reps
Kettlebell swings (if you don’t have kettlebells, use dumbbells) - 15 reps
Walking lunges - around 30 or approximately 50 feet
Repeat around 3 times and rest as little as possible between exercises.

]]>Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. But, for most of us, it’s also one of the unhealthiest. With mince pies, Christmas dinner and more alcohol than usual, most of us find it tough to stay healthy and in shape around the festive season. If you’re looking to stay fit during the holidays, here are some useful tips to help you out:
Christmas dinner, and all the treats that come along with it adds up to a huge 7,000 calories. We’re not saying that you need to scrimp on Christmas dinner, we’re just reminding you to use the extra nutrientand calorie intake to your advantage.
Christmas dinner is packed with protein, carbs and fat, as well as nutrient-filled green vegetables. Everything you need to build muscle mass and see even quicker growth. Bulking is essential if you’re looking to see gains quicker. You just need to make sure that you hit the gym or keep up your weight training in the days before and after Christmas.
It’s also worth remembering that limiting your fat intake over Christmas can reduce testosterone production meaning when you do get back into the gym, your performance might suffer.
The good news is that turkey is one of the leanest, protein filled meats there is, meaning your Christmas dinner will be sure to provide the protein you need to support muscles.
Keep up the protein intakeThis is important if you’re looking to bulk and gain muscle fast. It’s also essential if you’re looking to keep your calorie and fat intake low.
For those looking to bulk or keep lean muscle, keeping up your protein intake will prevent muscle atrophy, meaning that your muscle mass will stay the same, even if you’re not in the gym every day of the Christmas break.
If you’re looking to keep your calorie intake to a minimum, protein shakes can help you feel fuller for longer meaning you won’t be tempted to indulge in that extra mince pie.
This doesn’t mean you have to hit the gym first thing on Christmas day. But, you shouldn’t be tempted to spend the Christmas weekend in front of the TV either. Fitting a little bit of activity into your break is the easiest way to stay in shape. Sticking to small workouts, targeted at key areas you want to work, or even just taking a walk are good ways to ensure you stay fit and keep the weight off, whilst still allowing your body the recovery time it needs.
Setting realistic goals about what you want to achieve during Christmas is essential to keeping you motivated. Be honest with yourself about how active you’ll be during the festive period. Setting realistic health and fitness goals will make you far more likely to see them through.
And, on that note, as a more relaxed time of the year, Christmas is the optimum time to set goals for the year ahead. Use your time at home to set fitness milestones for 2017, making sure they’re right for you.
If you’d like more information on how to stay fit and healthy at Christmas, get in touch with one of our Natural Muscle pros who’ll be happy to help.
