When I first started out I was very young and impressionable and as a result was taken in by a lot of the stories that were published in the bodybuilding magazines. I used to read advertisements about people who had literally transformed their body in as little as 8 weeks and it really got me down because I wasn’t achieving the same results. I now realise that the majority of the publications on the subject of muscle gain and fat loss are sponsored by the very company manufacture sports products and supplements. It’s obvious now that the articles were incredibly biased in an attempt to get people to buy their products; they were sponsored ads and articles. Having spent the last six years training hard and training with others to figure out a tried and tested methodology for gaining muscle, I now understand how long it takes for changes in physique to take place and what a healthy natural trainer should aim for in terms of bodyweight changes and strength increases on a weekly and monthly basis. In this article, I’m going to quickly discuss my thoughts on timescales and give a few pointers to new trainers.

The important thing to realise when training to gain muscle is that the rate of improvement at any given time is i) subjective and ii) dependent on the level of the athlete in question. That means that if your friend is growing faster than you, that doesn’t mean you’re necessarily doing anything wrong and that if you’re a beginner in the weight room you should be able to progress much faster than if you had 5 years training under your belt.

For a beginner who is looking to pack on serious amounts of mass in as short time frame as possible I suggest taking a logical approach of 1 to 1.5lbs per week in progression on the scales. That should equate to roughly 500 calories in excess per day of what you require to maintain. It is extremely important for you to realise that if you start to eat way in excess of your body’s requirements, the process for building muscle doesn’t speed up beyond a certain point. In other words, if you stuff your face, you’ll get fat, not muscly.

It is possible for a newbie to put somewhere in the region of 2 stone on in the first three months of a training regime if everything is spot on and optimal. That means clear and logical weekly progressions in weight for each exercise on a weekly basis, incremental calories per week to equate for the new weight added from the week before and sufficient rest for your body to recover. At the end of a three month period, you should definitely take a week off to let your body recover from the beating it’s just taken. Remember you don’t grow in the gym, only out of it.

Are you experiencing hazy vision or are you bothered by floating specks? These are symptoms of a detached retina which needs immediate attention from your doctor. If not attended to right away, then this condition can lead to blindness.

In order to properly function, the retina should receive oxygen and nutrients from the blood vessels underneath. When it separates from the blood vessels, the condition is called retinal detachment. In the United States alone, approximately 20,000 people annually suffer from retinal detachment. It is the result of an eye injury, cataract surgery, or an extreme case of nearsightedness.

Men are more prone to having this condition than their female counterparts and its onset is higher in people with eye tumor and hypertension. Genetics also play a crucial factor in the development of the condition as it has the tendency to run in families. Doctors characterize it as a medical emergency which requires immediate surgery because it could lead to the permanent loss of vision in the affected eye.

Although the condition is painless, detached retina symptoms manifest themselves prior to the detachment. It involves the shrinking and sagging of the vitreous fluid within the eyeballs. The tugging of the retina results to the sensation of flashing images. When strong enough, this may cause the retinal tear and consequently damage the small blood vessels paving the way for blood to seep into the vitreous.

Whether or not surgical procedures will help is determined by the condition of the patient. For example, if there is only retinal tearing but no detachment from the blood vessels below is involved, laser treatment or photocoagulation can undo the damage. Likewise, performing cryopexy, which involves application of cold temperature to produce a scar which holds the retina in place, can also repair the damaged retina.

When hectic lives and tight budgets make spa visits few and far between, you can recreate the spa experience in the comfort of your own home by making your own spa products. Sensuous bath soaks, relaxing beauty treatments and nourishing, moisturizing lotions and creams are easily made at home–despite the spa owners leading people to believe that creating your own skin care products is difficult and time consuming.

They just want you to keep coming back and spending your hard earned dollars to get that feeling of indulgence and relaxation.

Making your own spa products saves you time and money, while letting you skip the chemicals and preservatives that keep traditional versions of these products from being eco-friendly. Spa owners like to make their clients believe that they are giving them something so exclusive and expensive that they could never consider creating their own bath and beauty products at home.

This is not the case at all! For example, you can create your own custom bath salts with inexpensive Epsom salts (which can be purchased in any drugstore), a few drops of essential oils and a little food coloring.
