I have 'emerged' some subtle bodybuilding techniques that infuse rapid muscle-growth to any trainee. You see, the factor of top intensity levels in combination with aggressive workouts that expel pure testosterone bursts, is the key to a fantastic muscular development.

Yesterday, another non-typical Chest & Biceps workout suffused my body to some *wondrous moments* of exhilaration and incredible muscle-inflation.

I got so pumped... That I could hardly weep the sweat out of my Forehead!

My adrenaline was sky-high, my heart pounded like a piston and there I was enjoying a spectacular workout, which was even better than...

SEX!

I have been distinguished for the small in duration, high in intensity and abbreviated in time muscle-building fundamentals.

Each and every weight-training session is of crucial importance!

Your mind must be mentally prepared for an inevitably brutal, scientifically structured bodybuilding schedule.

The most potent muscle-building exercises, those which command your body to reach new levels of muscle-growth, are Squats, Deadlifts and Bench Presses; combine these exercises astutely, in combination with the Ultimate Muscle-Building System (see http://bodybuildingtips.net) and a strategic infusion of SUPERSETS and MEGA SETS to succumb new signals of newly generated muscle-tissue.

These exercises will multiply your physical power at astoundingly rapid paces while increasing your metabolism; add to your dieting egg whites, red meat, pasta, rice, vegetables, pure protein, fibers and liquid-based creatine.

( see http://weighttrainingcenter.com/CreaBlast )

The astute combination of the testosterone boosting exercises and natural HGH releasing techniques that are induced during exercising with a short in duration, high-in-intensity and adrenaline peaking scheme... forced my body to grow to its' maximum capacity, while retaining my fantastic gains.

The most successful workouts are ideally inculcated within a 30-45' training session. I've even had tremendous responsiveness in new muscle-size by training even for as little as 25' per workout.

The secret to total muscular development is directly correlated with the factors of timing, exercise combinations, intensity, recuperation, muscular amplification during workloads and other sensitive parameters.

Every weight-lifting schedule must force your body to flow superfluous anabolic hormones like testosterone and HGH, which your body produces. Combine with CNS-friendly (Central Nervous System) recuperation periods, and rejoice fantastic gains in shorter periods.

Most often, the effects of vitamins and vitamin deficiencies are spread over a period of time. If your body isn?t getting sufficient amounts of a particular vitamin, it may take weeks, months or even years of low levels before the effects are evident. And when you start a vitamin regimen, it may take a significant period of time for your body to begin exhibiting the effects of having sufficient levels.

Vitamin K ? otherwise known as potassium ? is commonly associated with leg cramps. If a Vitamin K deficiency is the cause of your leg cramps, it?s likely that adding the vitamin to your daily routine can give you ease in a relatively short period of time.

One of the bigger (but less commonly known) reasons for Vitamin K in the human body has to do with blood clotting. This vitamin allows blood to coagulate so that it forms clots naturally. This makes it important for anyone taking medications to thin the blood to carefully monitor the amount of Vitamin K they add to their body. If you?re taking an anti-coagulant drug, talk to your doctor before adding any vitamin to your daily routine or changing your diet ? especially if those changes involve Vitamin K supplements or foods rich in Vitamin K.

One of the biggest myths about Vitamin K is that bananas are rich in Vitamin K and can be used instead of Vitamin K supplements. In fact, bananas are not a particularly good source of Vitamin K. For example, a half-cup of broccoli contains 200 times the amount of Vitamin K in a banana. Green vegetables are among the highest in Vitamin K content, with kale, turnip greens, broccoli and spinach heading the list. Cabbage, green beans and parsley are also included on the list of foods that are high in Vitamin K.

While the green foods are a good source of Vitamin K, they?re not the only source. You?ll also find that strawberries are a moderately high source of Vitamin K, as are dill pickles.

Not all the Vitamin K needed by the body is consumed. In fact, this is one of the few vitamins that the body actually helps manufacture. Babies don?t have much Vitamin K present in their bodies when they?re first born, therefore an infant?s blood may not clot as it should. To combat that, many hospitals give a shot of Vitamin K to babies soon after birth to start the body?s natural processing of this important vitamin.

Things do not change; we change. ?Henry David Thoreau

The following article is a chapter from my new book, The Da Vinci Fitness Code.

Professor Stanley Plagenhoef, one of my greatest mentors, introduced me to the Fibonacci number series in the early 1980's. He encouraged me to think of those numbers in the ideal relationship of health and fitness. I took his advice and bought books that spoke of the Fibonacci numbers, and the link between those numbers and The Golden Mean Ratio.

The first and best book I ever bought is titled, The Curves of Life, written by Theodore Andrea Cook, ISBN # 0-486-23701. The publisher is Dover Publications in New York.

Interestingly, this publication mentions on its title page, that the book includes special relation to The Manuscripts of LEONARDO DA VINCI. I learned many details from this insightful; brain penetrating book (and others I later read).

Some I will reword from memory. Leonardo said: ?you cannot be a good master, unless you have a universal power of representing by your art, all the varieties of the forms in Nature.

. . . . Do you not see how many and how varied are the actions performed by men alone ? how many kinds of animals there are, of trees and plants and flowers ? how many kinds of springs, rivers, buildings and cities, of instruments fitted for man's use, of costumes, ornaments and arts?

All these things should be rendered with equal facility and brace by anyone deserving the name of a good painter?.

What finally became clear to me was how all the factors Leonardo declared are connected in nature, propose, and carefully worked-out precise proportions, and shapes.

Generally, the shapes are a series o that are the Fibonacci Numbers, which can eventually take compared to the shapes of spirals, and curves.

Spiral shapes and curves are visible, in the night skies of our Universe. In the shapes of our Galaxy, and the Milky Way, as well as in the structure of clouds. On earth the shapes, curves, and proportions and the numbers agreed to these properties are ?The Formula for Growth.?

These shapes take the form of many aspects of Nature, prevailing in the Galaxy, on land in the curves of the ocean waves and sea shells, to the flowers and the trees and in the proportion and beauty of the legendary paintings, sculptures, and achievements of the great architects, such as Frank Lloyd Wright.

Because this is a book matched to excellence in fitness training, I must focus on examining fitness as it is about the human body.

When involved in learning the specific ways that the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci Numbers, represent a part in all aspects of our daily lives, I propose that you use a computer to explore the World Wide Web.

All you need to do is type in either, ?The Golden Mean Ratio,? or ?The Fibonacci Numbers,? and you will be presented with thousands of pages of outstanding, original research choices. You will be amazed!

As you will discover, the Golden Mean Ratio and the Fibonacci Numbers clearly connect to the shape and proportions of the human body. Nature is also guiding us in our physical development.

You are presumably aware of the drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci of ?the Vitruvian Man.? This drawing outlines the ideal proportions, size, shape, and symmetry of the ideal human body. Some of us inherit ? genetically ? that shape. Many of us do not.

Nature is not continually perfect.

It became clear to me that the Fibonacci numbers and by continuation, the golden Mean Ratio, could have value when shifted to a legitimate total fitness protocol, as well as physical therapy, work conditioning, and bodybuilding protocols.

Apparently, the numbers, known as the Fibonacci numbers, were, first, discussed by an Italian mathematician of the thirteenth century, Leonardo Da Pisa.

The numbers, interpreted again, and it became apparent that certain ratios, and formula principles of these numbers, about growth, symmetry, proportion, and beauty appeared virtually everywhere.

The numbers verified to refer to a specific ratio, often discussed as The Golden Mean Ratio. A ratio used by Master artists, sculptors, and architects, to create their visions, in perfect balance and harmony.

Beginning in the outer cosmos, where spiral shapes prevail in great abundance, and the relationship of the planets distance from each other, is in a Fibonacci balance and Golden Mean Ratio.

Apparently, the architect-Source of the unified universe, formulated these proportions before anyone else did.

On earth, the proportions of the Fibonacci numbers, compose life forms, such as the human body. The Golden Mean Ratio aligns with the representations of the human body (and many other creations) by the great artists, such as Leonardo Da Vinci.

The spiral formations, produced within the Golden Mean Ratio are the same as the ratios of the Fibonacci numbers are to each other.

The growth and beauty of these spiral proportions appear on earth in the forms of flowers, branches and leaves on trees, the curves of ocean waves, the shape and proportions of animals.

In humans, they emerge as the length of the torso to the lower body. The size, and shape of all body segments and their relationship to each other, and to the body as a whole.

This illustrates in the famous drawing of Leonardo, called, ?The Vetruvian Man.? It interprets the ratios just mentioned, and shows patterns how the body is sectioned, illustrated as balanced, and agreeing with each other.

One interesting sidelight to thinking of the relationships of certain shapes and the inherent superiority of their use on planet earth is that the shape of the Nautilus Sea Shell.

It highlight's for instance as the essence of a superior, proportionate shape. From my point of view, the invention of Nautilus Exercise Equipment, in 1970, marked a major breakthrough in the evolution of fitness training.

It is interesting to me that Arthur Jones (the architect of Nautilus) chose the name Nautilus for his fitness equipment.

The major component of his invention is an apparatus called ?the cam,? which to him looked as the shape of a Nautilus Sea Shell. Thus, the name Nautilus was given to the advanced, High-Tech equipment.

It is possible that using a perfectly shaped device, in exercise equipment, is what produces the surprising improvements of those who used Nautilus. I believe so!

Although professionally involved in the health field for 25 years, before 1980, I never heard of the Fibonacci numbers or the Golden Mean Ration.

Generally, during those years, I carried out in my exercise programs, as I told to clients. Bear in mind that many research programs I developed guided much of my exercise knowledge.

Therefore, in one sense, these programs were not the same as other ?experts? recommended.

During the middle 1980's, I started to use the Fibonacci numbers in various fitness protocols. I did not explicitly explain to my patients why I was recommending various number systems, for their programs.

Like most fitness clients, they were not versed in the procedures used in the typical fitness programs. All they expected was the best results possible.

I held in reserve, all the workout cards of those I adequately worked with, and eventually, the cards numbered in the thousands. Unfortunately, those cards were destroyed a few years ago, in a basement flood in a house I owned in New England.

Since all effects, of fitness training base in the initial, baseline fitness levels, I was lucky to develop the ?Units of Muscular Contraction formula.?

This consistent approach, as mentioned in this book, can separate real results, from imagined results. I suggest you use it as the definitive appraisal tool to measure improvement.

Without fail, everyone greatly improved using the Fibonacci numbers. Again, correctly measured using the Units of Muscular Contraction system and by comparing the past and present day bodyweight, and the muscle to fat ratio.

Until recently, I have not publicly discussed using specific numbers, compared to harmony, proportion, and beauty, growth, combined with strength. flexibility, muscle endurance, and cardio-endurance, incorporated in one workout.

This book is an effort to help you simplify your fitness quest by introducing you to the ease of using the same power that Nature uses to create the proportionate health of the Universe.

This Universal power is in the Fibonacci Numbers.

There are two groups of methods of respiratory monitoring: direct and indirect. During direct respiratory monitoring the signals are recorded with various Spirometers. Spirometers measure direct in and out air flow. Indirect methods include measuring of body volume variation, pletismography. Each method has its own benefits and failings. Direct measurement is more accurate, but this disrupts normal breath. Pletismography is very accurate but this method requires patients mobilization. Other methods require frequent calibrations etc. Those methods are more suitable for ambulatory monitoring.

But how to monitor respiration when patient is doing exercises, when he is moving and requires more oxygen where direct implements disrupt normal breath. In such cases getting respiratory information is real challenge. It is known that breath has influence in cardiogram. During one respiratory cycle the heart axis is moving and this affects ECG morphology. There are few signal processing algorithms (such as QRS Area calculating method, Vector Cardiogram angle rotation or event heart rate variation) where breath signals are calculated from ECG. But of course during exercises heart rate isn?t permanent and breath is dynamical this is why classical methods doesn?t give very good results. Better results can be reached by combining different processing algorithms or searching for new ones.

Similar to that of other cancers, mesothelioma diagnosis is often a painful experience. Not only the patients but also their loved ones go through tremendous turmoil in their lives. This makes it all the more important for mesothelioma patients to get as much support as possible.

Diagnosis of mesothelioma does not mean the end of the world for the affected or their near and dear ones. Today there are substantial resources that enable individuals and their families to cope with this dreadful disease. The first and foremost task in the process calls for the maintenance of an open line of communication between the patients and their physicians. Such proactive communication will enable questions such as the treatment procedure, available choices and other impending issues to be sorted out. Although most physicians usually have very limited time to spend with one single patient during appointments, it makes sense to address these concerns as and when they occur, and resolve them at the earliest possible time. This will help save on invaluable time and speed up the treatment process.

The diagnosis of mesothelioma can be done through various tests like x-rays and CT scans. However, the most accurate test that helps determine mesothelioma is the tissue biopsy. Once the disease is diagnosed, a group of specialist doctors undertake further special examination and determine the course of treatment. The treatment could include surgery, chemotherapy, clinical trials, or the latest techniques like photodynamic therapy, immunotherapy, or gene therapy.

There are several other activities also that help patients cope with this deadly disease. Experts point to the fact that mesothelioma can be tackled if patients include simple things in their daily lives. These include following a healthy and well-balanced diet, learning relaxation techniques, and regular exercising. Additionally, it would really help if you join a cancer support group. A support group will help you to share your thoughts with others and make you feel a lot better.

Here?s a wonderful ~ simple & powerful ~ Taoist meditation practice, which can be done either outside (in a beautiful natural setting is best!), or indoors. It?s similar in many ways to Buddhist Shamata sitting meditation practice, but ~ and hence the name! ~ you?re standing. (So, for one, it?s less likely that you?ll fall asleep ? J)

Begin by standing with your feet parallel and about shoulder-width apart. Take a couple of deep long breaths, saying ?aaah? (either out loud or to yourself) with the exhales. Let go of any tension you find in your shoulders, neck or face ~ simply let it ?melt? away, with the exhale ? as though that tension were a frozen river, being touched now by a warm sun, and flowing downward, like the gentle cascade of a waterfall, forming pools at your feet. Feel your energy, your awareness, settling into your feet & legs & hips & belly, connecting you strongly to the earth. Bend your knees just slightly ~ just enough to feel a softness at the backs of your knees.

Let your arms hang down next to your sides, so that your thumbs are gently touching your outer thighs (which means the backs of your hands will be facing forward). Separate and extend your fingers downward, so that they?re straight without being rigid, and so there?s space between each pair of fingers (as though you had webbed fingers). Now, float your hands directly forward, three or four inches, so they?re hovering now just in front of (but still to the sides) of your thighs. This should create a feeling of hollowness in your armpits. Let your elbows be bent just enough to create a feeling of softness in them.

Now choose a gazing point, eight or ten feet in front of you. Rest your eyes very softly on that point (or area). (The meditation Masters of the past have discovered that there?s a connection between the movement of our eyes, and the movement of thoughts in our mind ? So making the eyes still is a wonderful way to calm the mind.) Try to let that spot you?re looking at come into your eyes, instead of reaching out (with the energy of your eyes) to ?grab? it. In other words, let your eyes become receptive, instead of active ? Relax your jaw, so that there?s space between your upper & lower teeth, even though your lips are gently closed.

So now that you?re in the Qigong Standing Meditation position, stay here, for awhile. Once you?ve arranged yourself in this way, there?s nothing much to ?do.? Simply notice what?s it?s like being here, in this position.

If you?re new to the practice, hold the position for a couple of minutes. You can make small adjustments to it, as this feels necessary for your comfort, but the idea is to do as little moving around as possible. Once you?ve got the correct alignment of the pose, holding it in a fairly ?motionless? way will support internal movements of qi/life-force which will be very pleasant, and healing. As you continue this practice ~ over weeks or months or years ~ you?ll be able to hold the position for longer periods of time (30 minutes, a hour). But in the beginning, a couple minutes is wonderful!
