If you are new to bodybuilding and you want to improve the way you look, here are some useful tips that will help you a lot! You should not expect huge improvements over night, but muscle mass will slowly grow over time.  It’s really important to have patience, to stick to your workouts and diet, and results will definitely show!

1. Stick to Free Weights.

• Even though the modern gyms are full of fancy and shiny machines, they will not help you build a solid foundation of muscle mass. Dumbbells and barbells are the best when it comes to building muscle and especially for a beginner.

2. Do Compound Movements.

• While you might be tempted to try all the possible exercises you see on fitness magazines or websites, you should stick to the basic movements first. Exercises like the squat, the deadlift, the barbell bench press and the military shoulder press should not miss from your routine.

3. Have a Program and Stick to it.

• You cannot just go in the gym and do whatever you feel at that moment. You need to have a strict routine and follow it closely. Ask a personal trainer or an advanced bodybuilder to provide you with a program that includes the exact exercises you need to do, the number of sets and the number of reps per set. When you set foot in the gym you need to know exactly what you will do in that training session.

4. Don’t Train Every Day.

• If the person that made you the program knows what he’s doing, your routine should have 3 or 4 workouts per week. As a beginner you don’t need to train more often than that. Spend the other days of the week to rest and recover.

5. Train Each Muscle Group Every Week.

• While too many days in the gym won’t help you get bigger, too few workouts are not good either. You need to work each muscle group at least once every week.

6. Learn the Correct Form of Each Exercise.

• While you may be tempted to see how much you can lift, you need to start with lower weights and learn the right form of each exercise.

7. Gradually Increase the Weights.

• After you master the correct form on each exercise, you need to start increasing the weights periodically. Keep track of how much you lift on each exercise and slightly increase the weight every 2 weeks. This will increase your strength and will lead to muscle gains.

8. Be Cautious.

• When you get to the point of using big weights, use a safety belt for lower back protection. You may not have back problems right now, but you don’t want to have them in the future either.

9. Eat a Lot of Protein.

• Protein is essential when it comes to building muscle and can be found in chicken, fish, eggs, milk, dairy products and some nuts and vegetables. Most experts recommend at least 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight for the best results. If consuming enough protein each day becomes difficult, add a protein shake as well.

10. Be in a Caloric Surplus.

• In order to build muscle you need to eat more calories than you burn. Use a calorie calculator to find out your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) and adjust that according to how active you are. If you have a sedentary job you will need fewer calories and if you are very active you will need more.

11. Eat More Often.

• Have 4-5 meals per day and eat every 3-4 hours. Avoid being hungry!

12. Avoid Junk Food.

• It’s true that you want to gain some weight, but you want that weight to be muscle mass and not fat! Consume quality food like lean proteins, complex carbs and healthy fats and stay away from junk food, lots of sweets and fatty foods. The only time when you should consume fast absorbing carbohydrates (usually foods that have a lot of sugar or white flour) is right after your workout. 

13. Consume Fruits and Vegetables.

• Besides macronutrients (proteins, carbs and fats) your body also needs micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). So make sure you consume lots of fruits and vegetables each day!

14. Rest and Recover.

• Your muscles don’t grow when you work out but when you sleep. So make sure you get enough sleep each night (about 8-9 hours).

15. Act Like an Athlete.

• Try to have a healthy lifestyle and avoid as much as possible smoking, alcohol and other unhealthy vices.

By carefully selecting the time of your workout, the combination of techniques, and the proper post-workout snacks, you can maximize your workout to build muscle

Yamaha has released details and pictures of its updated R125 sportsbike

• The new YZF-R125 has been radically revised, for 2014 it gets a new front cowl inspired by the R6 and features an air intake located between the headlights.

• The bike now gets upside-down front forks and a redesigned triple clamp. Yamaha says the new front suspension ‘ensures better stability and improved front wheel feedback.’ It also has a redesigned rear suspension linkage system.

• A new fuel-injection system improves fuel efficiency by around 11% to increase tank range over the old model.

• A radial front caliper and floating front disc brake are now fitted as standard for extra braking power. They will be mounted onto newly designed alloy wheels with Y-shaped spokes, tyre size remains the same.

• The instrumentation also gets a fresh look. The backlit LCD dash unit features a digital speedo and tach, and a multi-function display on the left shows engine temperature, maximum speed, average speed and fuel consumption data.

WHAT would you guess were the UK's two top-selling supersports bikes? Kawasaki's ZX-6R and Honda's CBR600RR perhaps?

• According to industry figures, which include litre superbikes, 125s and all other capacities, it's the Honda CBR125R and Yamaha YZF-R125.

• And despite being £850 more expensive, the Yamaha is giving the Honda a convincing pummeling, with 1,419 YZF-R125s registered between January and October this year compared 782 CBR125Rs.

• But they're exactly the same capacity, almost exactly the same weight and make about the same power - so can the Yamaha justify the extra expense? Or have 637 people got it wrong this year? Don't decide before reading this.  

Reasons to buy Yamaha YZF-R125              


You won’t find a better-looking 125.
 But that’s obvious. You’ve got eyes.


It doesn’t just look like a proper sports bike.
 It stops and handles like one too.



It’s right on the power limit for learners
 and A1 licence holders, at 15hp.



If you’ve a mind to, you can tune them for
 more power (after gaining the appropriate licence, naturally)
. There’s a Malossi 182cc big-bore kit.



Every 17-year-old wants a better bike
 than their mates' and this is basically the daddy.
If price were no object, which would you have?

Price: £4,349 OTR
Capacity: 124.7cc
Power: 15hp
Wet weight: 138kg
Seat height: 818mm

Reasons to buy CBR125R


It’s £850 cheaper than the Yamaha.
 That’s nearly a whole of your thousand pounds.


It’s more learner-friendly,

 with a lower seat-height than the Yamaha and a useful steering lock.



It’s great fun to throw around,

with sharp handling, good brakes and suspension.



It makes the most of its 13.1hp,

 with super-linear power delivery.



It’s sharper looking since a 2007 restyling.

 Earlier models looked a bit weedy

Price: £3,499 OTR
Capacity: 124.7cc
Power: 13.1hp
Wet weight: 136.9kg
Seat height: 793mm

Our choice: YZF-R125

• Save your money and buy a bigger bike after getting a full licence blah blah blah. We don’t go for that old argument. With all new riders aged 17-19 now restricted to a 125, we think many will simply want the best one they can get, and why shouldn’t they?

• The R125 is pricey. It’s also one of the sharpest looking and handling 125s you can get. Possibly not as novice-friendly as the CBR, with a higher seat and lower bars, but you’ve got two mandated years with it – how much of a novice will you be by the end of that?

The CBR’s a lot of fun and might have won if it made the full 15hp permissible under licence terms. Surely the law is restrictive enough without Honda holding back more?

• Many bodybuilders consume maltodextrin or dextrose for the energy required to complete 60 to 120 minutes weight and cardio training sessions. These carbohydrate sources are selected because of their slow-burning nature, which aids in blood glucose level management following workouts as well. However, many bodybuilders are quickly discovering that honey is a great substitute with some additional benefits.

• Honey, like dextrose, is terrific in post-workout protein shakes for increasing insulin levels in this very small anabolic growth window. Not only does it provide a different taste (always a plus in the bland world we know as bodybuilding nutrition), but the body, which can actually stretch this anabolic window for a longer period of time, also burns it slower. 

• Honey should not replace dextrose as your primary post-workout carbohydrate source. After all, nearly half of its calories come from fructose, the carb flavor that often becomes fat. But it is a viable option to keep on hand should you ever run out of dextrose, if you're enjoying a cheat meal, or if you're in a bulking phase and extra calories are what you are seeking. Honey can be purchased at any grocery store, and can be a great grab if you're on the road without a good protein shake,

•  and just picking up some lunch meat or other quick protein source following a workout. Knock down 1-2 tablespoons of honey with the meat for maximization of that time period following a workout. A fast food solution (which should always be the exception, not the rule) would be some KFC chicken smothered in honey from their handy honey packets.

• Honey also provides additional anti-oxidant effects on the body, making it doubly useful for bodybuilders in that all-important recovery window following a workout. Be careful if you are allergic to honey (as many are) and consult a doctor if you have any adverse reactions to this tasty and useful food. Enjoy the variety and added benefits that honey can provide to your bodybuilding diet!

 yamaha 125



Yamaha has revamped its latest YZF-R125 to look and feel more like a scaled down MotoGP racer. The company, a leader in the sports 125cc market for a number of years, constantly hones its tiny zappers, but always within the power limits established by national authorities around the world.
In Europe, for example, 125cc bikes of any kind are not allowed to have more than 15 horsepower.

But within this power limit, Yamaha has created a lovely little screamer that’s dressed in a radically redesigned fairing inspired by that of the celebrated YZF-R6 Supersport racer. Double headlights flank the air scoop, which is now located on the nose of the fairing for maximum efficiency.

The engine has been upgraded, too. Given the power limits, the lively, liquid-cooled sohc four valver has been designed with undersquare measurements (52mm bore x 58.6mm stroke) to obtain the fattest possible torque curve at mid rpm. Additionally, the undersquare measurements allow a very clean combustion chamber design and a flat piston top, along with a compression ratio of 11.2:1. This ensures good midrange response, thanks also to the completely renewed integrated injection-ignition system, which further aids fuel efficiency.

Yamaha’s YZF-R125 delivers its “legal” peak of 15 horsepower at 9,000 rpm, and torque reaches 9.2 pound-feet at 8,000. As for the revised chassis, it now sports a 41mm inverted fork, which is set at 25 degrees of rake and with 3.5 inches of trail. The front disc brake is also new, now featuring a single 292mm rotor and a radial-mount caliper. Belted cross-ply tires that measure 110/80-17 in front and 130/70-17 in back are more than adequate for serious riding. Other vitals include a 53.0-in.

wheelbase, a seat height of 32.5 in., and a claimed wet weight—with all liquids in place and 3.0-gallon tank full of gasoline—of only 308.5 lb.

’Tis a pity, but it seems like fun little sport bikes such as the 2014 YZF-R125 are forbidden fruit for US customers. And let me tell you, this racy little Yamaha tastes particularly sweet.

NEW 2015 YAMAHA YZF-R3

While we wait patiently for a new YZF-R1 to be unveiled at the EICMA show in Milan this November, Yamaha surprised us at AIMExpo 2014 by introducing a new entry-level model for 2015 called the YZF-R3. In most basic description, this new R3 is an affordable sportbike with Yamaha R-inspired looks.

An all-new model that goes on sale in February, the $4990 Yamaha YZF-R3 is powered by a liquid-cooled 321 cc parallel-twin, a new fuel-injected DOHC four-valve powerplant with offset cylinders and forged pistons. The compression ratio is listed as 11.2:1, and peak power is produced at 10,750 rpm. Moreover, this new twin has a 180-degree crankshaft and a balancer, and its aluminum DiASIL cylinder dissipates heat well to reduce horsepower loss.

The frame and swingarm of the new R3 are steel, and Yamaha’s Derek Brooks said the bike’s ratio of swingarm length to wheelbase is almost identical to that of the R1. That, together with an effort to centralize mass, helps make the R3 a good-handling bike. Making the bike even better for a beginner is a manageable claimed wet weight of 368 lb., plus a seat that’s only 30.7 in. off the pavement.

In addition to a KYB fork with stout 41mm tubes, the new 2015 YZF-R3 is fitted with a KYB shock, clip-on handlebars, a sporty-looking full fairing, 10-spoke aluminum wheels, and brakes that feature a 298mm floating front rotor and 220mm rear. What’s more, the R3 has a compact LCD instrument panel with a multifunction meter that includes a gear-position indicator, fuel capacity, fuel economy, water temp, a clock, two trip meters and even an oil change indicator light. Lastly, three colors are available: Yamaha Blue/Matte Silver, Rapid Red, and Raven, otherwise known as black.


Now, the million-dollar question: How will this new Yamaha YZF-R3 fare in the real world against the likes of the Kawasaki Ninja 300 and Honda CBR300R? Yes, the Yamaha has an edge in displacement, but only one thing is certain: We need to put together a comparison test soon.
