How to Maximize Muscle Gains

With the recent media coverage exposing steroid use in professional sports, many people are looking for an extra edge to build muscle, get stronger, and look better. Steroids, although effective, are unhealthful and illegal to use without a prescription. Millions of dollars have been spent in sports medicine research to find a completely safe, natural alternative that produces the same results. Years of research now show that nitric oxide supplements are suggested to maximize your muscle gains. The Science Behind Nitric Oxide Your body naturally produces nitric oxide to move oxygen to your muscles while you exercise. This burst of oxygen keeps your muscles functioning while you lift weights or blast through your cardio sessions. Unfortunately, your body can only generate a limited amount of nitric oxide. When the nitric oxide runs out, your muscles can no longer power through the exercise, no matter how much mental determination you have. Taking a nitric oxide supplement 30 minutes bef...

New N.O. booster triggers volcanic rise in interest among athletes

A new nitric oxide booster has hit the market and is already disappearing from the shelves of many health stores thanks to its popularity. Force Factor has developed a new supplement called VolcaNO that has been formulated to provide an extra edge for serious competitors who want to get bigger, faster, and stronger. Force Factor came up with VolcaNO in response to the overwhelming demand for a product that would deliver more lean muscle, energy, and endurance than previous pre-workout supplements. Force Factor has blended L-citrulline with a special form of creatine HCL, and then topped it off with a serious energy component. VolcaNO’s high levels of specific amino acids result in more nitric oxide. And additional nitric oxide results in more strength and power. While it is a cutting-edge concept, the science behind Force Factor’s new product is not all that complicated: Nitric oxide increases blood flow and literally “feeds” muscles—especially during exercise. More oxygen contributes ...

How To Run Faster By Spring

Now that all the big fall races are over and the weather is getting colder, most people are ready to pack away their sneakers and hibernate. While some consider the winter an off-season, it's definitely not the time to slack off from training. "Many runners simply take the winter off, but this is a huge mistake," says  Jason Fitzgerald , USATF-certified running coach. "Taking a season off -- or barely running at all -- prevents most runners from progressing." Take elite Saucony-sponsored runner Tina Muir , for example. After running the Chicago Marathon in October, Muir has spent time working on the little things to make her a stronger runner like building strength, improving her form, and practicing yoga.
