YOGA INCREASES STRENGTH AND SEXUAL PERFORMANCE

When most bodybuilders think of yoga, they visualize a yogi performing impossible pretzel-like acrobatics.

Others see yoga as those easy stretches their grandma does because she’s too frail for a “real workout.”

But as a modern bodybuilder living a holistic lifestyle, you should be visualizing yoga as the key to unlocking your highest potential in the gym and in the bedroom.

There are undeniable parallels between a healthy fitness life and a healthy sex life.

Both require physical endurance, mental focus, balanced hormones, and confidence.

The Journal of Sexual Medicine recently conducted a study involving 40 healthy women between the ages of 22 and 55 who described themselves as “sexually dissatisfied.”

The women were taught a series of 22 yoga poses believed to positively affect pelvic muscle tone, joint function, digestion, and mood. A Harvard Medical School publication reported that, “Nearly 75% of the women said they were more satisfied with their sexual life following the yoga training.”

This study focused on women, but similar studies with men have also shown higher levels of arousal, desire, confidence, and better orgasms. If you’re still skeptical about incorporating yoga into your fitness routine, here’s a few perks you might not have thought of. Are you ready to make your workouts start working for you?

Protect Yourself from Injury

One of the main goals of yoga is to maintain correct body posture and keep the spine in neutral alignment. According to a published International Association for the Study of Pain study, yoga poses can help realign, re-balance, and correct imbalances in your muscles.

If you have tight muscles while performing dynamic bodybuilding movements, you’re putting yourself at higher risk of injury. No one likes to talk about it, but both men and women frequently suffer from muscle pain and soreness after sex. With regular yoga practice, you can stop worrying about feeling pain or injury while experimenting with your partner.

Increase Your Endurance

Men’s Health magazine recently cited another Journal of Sexual Medicine study that found “men with premature-ejaculation problems lasted three times longer during sex after 12 weeks of practicing an hour of yoga daily.”

Advanced yoga practice often involves holding poses for long periods of time.

Specific yoga poses help to strengthen the pelvic muscles of both men and women.

If your muscles are stronger, you’ll be able to control better your orgasms and last longer for your partner.

Increase Your Hormonal Levels

There is no shortage of yoga research, and another study showed how yoga increased hormonal levels of gamma-amniobutyric in the brain. After a yoga session, most people describe a feeling of relaxation, serenity, and a renewed state of mind and body. A workout routine that keeps your hormones in check has great potential for keeping your sex drive and levels of arousal in check as well.

Heighten Your Sensitivity

When your senses are unstimulated, sexual encounters can feel dull, numb, and monotonous. Because yoga positions stimulate blood flow, they also help to heighten your body’s sensitivity. And no, this sensitivity isn’t only limited to the pelvic region. When oxygen is flowing to your muscles and blood is flowing through your veins, every touch from your fingertips to your toes feels a little more exciting.

Feel Confident About Your Body

Some bodybuilders admit it more readily than others, but everyone feels self-conscious about his or her body now and then. Whether you haven’t been hitting the gym as often as you like or you’re not sticking to your diet as you should, it’s common to scrutinize yourself and feel insecure about your naked body.

Yoga has proven dramatically effective in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression in men and women. Yoga practice requires you to be in tune with your body and pay attention to every part of it. Try incorporating yoga breathing exercises in your sex life to increase lung capacity, calm your nerves, and let you fully experience each moment.

Connect with Your Partner

According to psychologist and certified yoga instructor, Dr. Susan Walsh, PsyD, “Distance and resentment can develop in marriages over time. Partner yoga can clear this negative energy and help a couple reconnect and become comfortable with touch and intimacy.” The most common sexual problems in relationships are decreased libido, painful intercourse, inability to have an orgasm, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

In a holistic approach to common challenges that couples face in their relationships, Loyola University Health System offered 90-minute partner yoga sessions in its Sexual Wellness Clinic. Partner yoga aims to encourage intimacy by helping both people become vulnerable, maintain balance, and find fulfilment.

Experiment with New Positions

Not only do yoga poses help prepare your mind and body for sex, but they can also help you get creative with new positions in the bedroom. For a few “how to” guides on yoga-inspired sex positions, check out Fitness Magazine‘s article, “Sex Positions that Double as Exercise.”

If you’re ready for the kind of sex that’s good for your mind, body, and relationship, you’re going to have to spend some time on the mat. If you’re new to yoga, the following positions are a great place to start.

For the best results, practice these poses at least three times a week and hold each pose for about a minute. When you become more in tune with your body’s movements, you’ll be able to control them better and allow them to work for you, not against you.

Strength Training Bench Press Workout – How to Bench Press to Gain Muscle?

 

Click HERE to Find Out How You Can Build Muscle & Lose Fat By Eating Plants

HOW TO GET YOUR BENCH PRESS UP BY “CLIMBING THE MOUNTAIN”?

This training protocol is designed to increase your bench press…slowly, but surely.

I like this method because slow and steady wins the race, plus it’s modelled from Louis Simmons @ Westside Barbell. And in the strength training world, there’s no one better than Louis. I call this “climbing the mountain” because increasing your bench press in this way utilizes a steady climbing strategy.

How to Increase Bench Press?

• Bench with extra-wide grip, one inch outside of the rings
• Do a six rep max week after week, until you can’t climb any higher in weight
• Increase reps to eight reps until you can’t climb any higher in weight
• Increase reps to ten reps until you can’t climb any higher in weight
• Return to six reps and climb until you have a new record with six reps, then eight, and so on

Bench Press Recommendations:

• Warm-up with 3-4 sets with very light weight
• Press the bar straight up, not over your face
• Three days minimum apart for recovery, I personally go 6-7 days
• If you are going to bench big, you need to get bigger
• Five minutes between sets to fully recover
• Infuse incline bench and dumbbell work to accelerate your results
• Pay attention to upper back, rear and side delt work, and hammer curls
• Train triceps hard and every way possible, 75% of your bench comes from triceps

Speaking of Training Triceps…

Try these 2 tricep exercises that will greatly help your efforts in increasing your bench press.

1. Laying extensions with a straight or EZ curl bar, and try all of these variations (total of 60 reps with heavy weight):

• Bar to forehead
• Bar to nose
• Bar touching chest
• Bar to throat (most demanding on the elbows, but very effective)

2. JM presses are a secret little weapon powerlifters use, that many vegetarian bodybuilders don’t know about. Here is a video that will demonstrate the movement.

How to Increase Body Strength and Stamina Using the Westside Barbell Method?

GET SUPER-STRONG (AND JACKED) WITH THE WESTSIDE METHOD

Louie Simmons is the owner and visionary of the world’s most hardcore powerlifting gym, where only the elite come to train.

This notorious gym is Westside Barbell, located in Columbus, Ohio.

Among the techniques he’s developed is the Conjugate Method training system (also called the Westside Method), which utilizes single repetitions as a core training tenet.

Louie’s controversial, yet highly-effective protocol implements a warm-up using only a 45-pound barbell, then diving right into a sequence of one-rep sets that progressively attempt to reach a new personal best.

I was always taught to warm-up with 3-4 sets of 5-8 reps to climb up to the eventual “strength-testing” heaviest set/s. So I wrote an article, “How to Get Your Bench Press up by ‘Climbing the Mountain’” that mostly models the Westside Method. I also use a different warm-up protocol.

I’m like many others who get mental blocks from being taught a certain way and sticking with it for no other reason, so I’m going to play around with this system a bit more because I can’t deny that the Westside Method is no joke. It’s helping many acquire insane amounts of strength, as well as pack on serious lean muscle.

It’s visionaries like Louis who break the norms and revolutionize how things are done. Part of who I am is trying to remain teachable, and the bottom line is that you can’t argue with results.

Here’s the original article that brought the details to my attention: “The Westside Method: Get Legit-Strong And Jacked As Hell”

In this article, they quote Louis making one of the more excellent points I have read on the topic of training:

“Really, only 20 percent of your training here is max or near-max barbell work,” he says. “The rest, I don’t want to call it bodybuilding, but 80 percent is basically hypertrophy training. You’re always focusing on improving your weaknesses. That way, you won’t have muscle imbalances and you’ll constantly get stronger and eliminate injuries. There’s too many injuries in this sport, and there basically shouldn’t be any.”

He goes on to say:

“I would test a real squat, bench, and deadlift no more than once every 6-10 weeks,” Simmons explains. “You don’t get stronger by setting records in those lifts; you get stronger by training.”

I have to say, the more I read about Westside Barbell, the clearer it becomes that they truly are a rare source of real truth (versus hype). I invite all of you to visit their website and read up on the articles. I know this won’t be the last time you will hear me bring up the name, so here’s the link: www.westside-barbell.com.

What is the Best Way to Overcome ED Naturally Without Medications?

Overcome ED Naturally Without Medications – ED Is Caused by These Common Drugs

If you had to choose between permanent hair loss or suffering ED, which one would you pick?

It’s an honest question because drugs commonly prescribed to help halt hair loss have now been proven to cause ED —even years after using them.

But these drugs are not just prescribed for hair loss

They’re also used for another (not so vain) common condition. So if you’re a man over 50, chances are great that you’re taking these drugs, with dim side effects of ED.

We’re talking about any of the 5-reductase inhibitor drugs like finasteride (Propecia) or dutasteride.

These drugs are mainly prescribed for two conditions:

1. male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia)
2. enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia).

Scientists at Northwestern University have just published a study in the journal PeerJ that focused on the severe side effects of these drugs.

They used medical information from Northwestern Medicine’s electronic data repository of men who had taken 5-reductase inhibitors.

Of those men, 1.5% of those taking these drugs developed ED as a direct consequence. And the sexual dysfunction lasted for 3.5–6.5 years after they stopped using the drugs.

This stands in stark contrast to the promise on the drug labels that the symptoms of ED vanish the moment you stop taking the drug!

The good news is that no matter what causes your ED, you can cure it using nothing but a simple set of home exercises to overcome ED naturally without medications, found here ….

Overcome ED Naturally Without Medications – Do Condoms Cause ED? (and what to do about it)

If you are engaging in sexual relationship with a new partner, using condoms is the only way to protect you from sexual transmitted diseases (STD).

But nobody likes using condoms. What’s more, many men complain about condoms causing ED.

The good news is that this shouldn’t be an issue. In fact, there is an easy fix.

Many men complain of erection loss during sex with a condom. Since they believe that the condom is responsible, they often remove it before the sexual episode is completed. This obviously carries a serious risk of spreading sexually transmitted diseases, which has motivated scientists to get involved in working on a solution.

In a multinational study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in August 2015, the authors concluded that condom use did not, in fact, cause the erectile difficulties.

They recruited 479 men between the ages of 18 and 24 and asked them about their condom use and their ability to get and keep an erection while putting it on and during intercourse.

Of the participants, 38.4% reported no erectile difficulties during condom use, 13.8% reported ED while putting it on, 15.7% reported ED during penile-vaginal intercourse, and 32.2% reported ED during both condom application and penile-vaginal intercourse.

Incredibly, this means that 61.7 percent of men report some erectile problems during condom use, with 47.9 per cent experiencing such problems during intercourse.

The authors also asked the men about sex without a condom. This is where it becomes interesting. The 47.9 percent who experienced ED during intercourse were substantially more likely to have ED while having sex without a condom, too. In other words, it’s not the condom’s fault!

It is possible that men blame condoms because they want to avoid recognizing the dismaying possibility that they have ED. This is not only a health risk, but also a psychological issue that may lead them to put the kind of performance pressure on themselves that will almost certainly aggravate their ED during sex with and without a condom. Think of it this way: if you don’t admit it, then you cannot tackle it and your ED will continue indefinitely.

It is also worth mentioning that grabbing at Viagra or any other PDE5 inhibitor is not the answer to ED during condom use. The Journal of Sexual Medicine published another study in 2009 that concluded that men who used PDE5 inhibitors were three times more likely to report erection loss during sex while using a condom. So if you use a condom, you will have to deal with the real causes of the ED, rather than simply drawing on the strongest drug you can find.

If you are sure that you have erectile difficulties only while using a condom, it is unlikely, but possible, that you are right. After all, In the above study, a minority of the men who struggled with condom-related ED were sexually totally functional without a condom.

If you are in this minority, a multinational team revealed the three main causes of condom-related ED in an article in a 2006 issue of Sexual Health. Men who lack confidence to use condoms correctly, men who don’t like how condoms fit or feel, and men who have more than three sexual partners in a three-month period are most likely to have ED while using a condom.

All three of these problems seem remediable. Learning to use a condom correctly should take care of the lack of confidence, experimenting until you find one that fits properly should do away with the discomfort, and having sex with fewer different partners will kill the last problem.

But that doesn’t eliminate the fact that majority of men over 40 experience some level of ED. Here is a 3-minute technique that has been used by thousands of men to completely eliminate their ED on the spot…

Overcome ED Naturally Without Medications -This “Un-Manly” Approach Cures ED Without Side Effects

If you suffer erectile dysfunction (ED), you’re probably looking for a manly cure for it. But there is one method that is maybe not considered so manly that has been found extremely effective for ED.

And isn’t it worth it to be a little unmanly to become super manly in the bedroom?

Indeed, this unmanly practice is used by millions of men all over the word. And it delivers a long array of results.

And that’s more manly than popping pills, if you ask me!

Over 90% of yoga practitioners are women. And men often consider it too soft of a sport. But yoga practitioners have long claimed that yoga can greatly improve sexual functioning for men and women.

When researchers put this claim to the test in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2010, they found that this was indeed the case. After following a 12-week yoga program, most of their 65 male subjects between the ages of 24 and 60 years showed a marked improvement in many domains of sexual functioning, including desire, intercourse satisfaction, performance, confidence, partner synchronization, erection, ejaculatory control, and orgasm.

This should, perhaps, not be surprising. Some of the main causes of ED are general stress and performance anxiety, and yoga is understood to be an effective way to relieve anxiety.

A paper published in the journal Andrologia in 2014 concluded that ED drugs were more effective when combined with stress management than on their own. In the study, some men with ED received only tadalafil, while others received tadalafil and an eight-week stress management program. The latter group showed a much greater improvement than the former group. The stress management program included, among other things, some yoga.

There are other reasons why yoga might be effective. An article in a 2009 edition of the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy shows that some cases of ED are caused by a lack of the neurotransmitter serotonin. These cases are normally the men who struggle with depression. Like other exercise, yoga can boost the serotonin level in your body, which makes it a promising treatment for both the depression and the ED.

According to a literature review by Marcy McCall, a University of Oxford academic, yoga also improves blood flow throughout the body, aids with muscle relaxation, lowers the stress hormone cortisol, and aids with various other mechanisms that are involved in successful sexual function.

The best yoga postures to try are those that focus on the groin area for increased blood flow and muscle relaxation.

Start with some stretches that the yoga community calls basic. For example, lie on your back with your legs slightly apart. Now raise your legs and bend your knees until they touch the sides of your body. Take the outer side of your feet in your hands and, using your upper body strength, pull your knees down to the ground. The soles of your feet should point to the ceiling.

Once you have mastered this stretch, you can move on to the kandasana. To perform it, sit with your legs stretched out in front of you. Stretch your legs out sideways and bend your knees. Put the soles of your feet together. Now, using your hands, pull your heels as close as possible to your groin. They should ideally touch your groin, but don’t worry if you are not flexible enough yet. Just go on practicing. It is crucial that you keep your back straight throughout this exercise to avoid injury.
