Q&amp;A Section:<\/p>\n<table width=\"90%\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin: auto; background-color: 000080;\">\n<tr>\n<td>\n<table width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin: auto; background-color: f7f7f7;\">\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Question: DEAR VINCE:<\/p>\n<p>Back in the May 1992 issue of Muscle Mag International, I wrote a question to &quot;Ask Bob&quot; regarding what he thought were the very best training tips out of the literally hundreds mentioned in his book Reps! In addition, Dr. Dardens &quot;100 High Intensity Ways to Improve Your Bodybuilding&quot;. His reply was surprising and shocking but it has sure saved me a lot of time reading through all the bodybuilding books on training.<\/p>\n<p>That got me to thinking. There are nearly as many books on nutrition for the bodybuilder as there are ones on training. I don&rsquo;t want to bother Mr. Kennedy with my question, because I have heard that in addition to publishing his books and magazines he is busy trying to make a million dollars by opening 3 new Muscle Mag outlets. Mr. Gironda, with a heartfelt sincerity I ask what in your valued opinion would be the top ten nutritional tips of this decade or any other for that matter. Morrie Zimmer Anchorage, AK<\/p>\n<p>Answer: DEAR MORRIE: Here is what I personally consider to be the ten commandments of the bodybuilding diet.<\/p>\n<p>1. Never mix protein fat, and carbohydrates at the same meal. They do not digest in the same medium.<\/p>\n<p>2. Cut out all food and diet drinks containing salt or sodium nitrates. Sodium retains excess water in the tissues and subcutaneous fat.<\/p>\n<p>3. Stay away from or eliminate refined sugar.<\/p>\n<p>4. Do not drink water during workouts or with meals Water is a weight gaining substance<\/p>\n<p>5. Fats are desirable and combined with protein help emulsify bodyfat and provide energy<\/p>\n<p>6. Half and half cream contains almost no carbohydrates and provides much desired bodybuilding nutrition. Throw away skim milk and homogenized milk.<\/p>\n<p>7. Eggs are the best source of inexpensive protein. Use the best - fertile eggs.<\/p>\n<p>8. Carbohydrates mixed with protein turn to fat. Carbohydrates only turn to fat. Start counting grams of carbohydrates. Forget counting calories.<\/p>\n<p>9. Stress or hyperactivity will not allow you to digest food properly, destroying muscle tissue. Eat slowly and put energy into your life.<\/p>\n<p>10. Cigarette smoking will cause restriction of the capillary system you are trying to build, making muscle gains difficult.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 90%;\" \/>\n<p><strong>Oxygen Loading<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How you breathe during an exercise is important. There&rsquo;s no golden rule though. For the most part, a bodybuilder should breathe in prior to the start of a rep and breathe out just as the hardest part is reached. Never try to breathe in and out through the nose when training vigorously. The nasal passages are just not set up for huge rushes of air intake. Inhale through pursed lips and exhale with a blast as the rep is concluded. There are some exercises where it is best to breathe only every two or three reps, and others that lend themselves to double breathing.<\/p>\n<p>If you are training with a good tempo, don&rsquo;t just allow your body to recover by sitting down and panting. Load up with oxygen. Hyperventilate. Place your hands on your thighs, knees bent, and lift your chest high as you slowly take each breath through pursed lips. After taking five or ten breaths in this manner, you should be ready to begin your next set. I call this &quot;oxygen loading.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Your muscles definitely benefit from this oxygen loading principle. By pouring oxygen into the blood, through the lungs, you are paying back the debt created by the last set of exercises. This produces a terrific muscle pump. It also aids in maintaining exercise rhythm, which is important for maximum workout efficiency.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 90%;\" \/>\n<p><strong>The Muscle Sleep<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although I can workout with the best of them, there is something I do now that I did not do as a young man. I take a nap, muscle sleep, for half an hour every afternoon. This not only helps recuperation but it is a great energizer. Actually, more bodybuilders than you may imagine, especially the pros, who can afford the time, make a habit of taking a short mid-afternoon nap.<\/p>\n<p>As an older person, you may want to adopt this habit of taking naps. Sleep experiments, incidentally, have shown that two or three short naps are more beneficial than one long sleep. The way most of our lives are organized, taking a nap every few hours is not practical, but it is an interesting scientific observation nevertheless.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Invest in a copy of <strong><em><a href=\"\/\/www.elitefitness.com\/reports\/vince\/\" target=\"_blank\">Vince Gironda - Building Legendary Muscles<\/a><\/em><\/strong> in the next 72 hours, and get two free bonus eBooks - <strong>Masters and Pro Bodybuilding<\/strong> and <strong>Vince Gironda - Questions and Answers<\/strong>, a $336.97 value free.
