Muscle-Building Exercises and Growth-Boosters.

By George Papazoglou

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.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy Foundation Awards $1.125 Million In Grants To Support SMA Research Efforts -- Funding to Promote and Advance Clinical Research for the Cause, Treatment and Potential Cure for Spinal Muscular Atrophy

By Anonymous

New York, NY April 21, 2004 -– The Spinal Muscular Atrophy Foundation announces that it has awarded new research grants totaling $1.125 million to four outstanding Young Investigators specializing in research on Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), the leading genetic killer of infants and toddlers. These grants support the implementation and advancement of clinical research into the cause, treatment and potential cure for SMA.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy is a genetic, motor neuron disease characterized by the wasting away of skeletal muscles. More than 25,000 Americans have the disease. Up to 1,000 new babies – an estimated one in every 6,000 live births – are afflicted with SMA each year. Over 50% of patients with SMA die before the age of two. Currently there are no treatments.

“This initial round of research grant funding represents a significant first-step in our Foundation’s active involvement in the search for a cure for SMA,” said Loren Eng, Founder and President of the SMA Foundation. “These grants are critically important to our efforts and will provide the funding to enhance innovative research initiatives. The results from these projects will advance our goals in learning more about the cause of this debilitating and fatal disease and ultimately bring us closer to finding a treatment or cure.”

The Young Investigator Award is an incentive and mentoring program that allows a new generation of scientists to explore an early professional interest in studying SMA, with a mentor who has an established track record as an investigator.

The awards will be presented at a special ceremony held during the 56th Annual Meeting of The American Academy of Neurology in San Francisco, California on April 28, 2004. The award provides each young investigator $85,000, plus allowances for tuition, research expenses and an annual mentor stipend, for three years. The Young Investigator Awards are co-sponsored by the American Academy of Neurology Foundation.

The SMA Foundation is pleased to award grants to the following Young Investigators:
Christine DiDonato, PhD
Children’s Memorial Institute for Education and Research (CMIER)
Chicago, IL
Project Title: “Pharmacological Treatment Strategies Using Neuroprotective Agents in Cellular and Animal Models of SMA”
Mentor: Leon Epstein, MD

Umrao R. Monani, PhD

New Charity for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is launched

New Charity for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is launched


A new charity is being launched this month for sufferers of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). Parent Project UK has been set up by parents and friends of boys with DMD and is dedicated to finding a cure and viable treatments. (www.ppuk.org)

DMD is the most common, progressive and severe type of Muscular Dystrophy. It affects one in 3,500 boys worldwide and is the biggest genetic killer of young people. DMD causes severe muscle wasting so that by the time these boys are between six and twelve years old they will be in wheelchairs, and by their late teens they will be preparing for death.

It is an “equal opportunity” condition. Although many cases of Duchenne are hereditary, a lot of cases today are caused by spontaneous mutations. In other words it can happen to anybody of any background or nationality – it is a case of “genetic roulette”.

One of the families involved in the setting up of Parent Project UK is the Catlin family from Cardiff. Nick and Janet’s son Saul, now 18months, was diagnosed at 5 months with DMD after a routine blood test for liver function. Saul is their first child and the experience of diagnosis and acceptance has been devastating. "There is a death sentence on the head of my son" says Nick, a software engineer. "A cure is not an impossible dream. We need more resources and facilities.” His wife, Janet a secondary school teacher adds “We need to ask the government to fund research into DMD so that our sons are given the chance to live full and happy lives.”
At the moment Saul is a healthy, busy toddler more concerned with cars and diggers than health matters. It is hard to believe that such a vibrant little boy will be condemned to such a short life, never knowing his potential.

February 11-16 is International Parent Project Week where groups in Europe and America will be staging events to raise awareness of this condition. On the 21 December 2001 after years of campaigning the American group saw the passing of the Muscular Dystrophy Community Assistance, Research and Education Act through Congress which ringfences millions of dollars for research into DMD.

Parent Project UK aims to raise money for research into DMD both through its members but also through putting pressure on the Government. Professor Francesco Muntoni of the Hammersmith Hospital and Imperial College London says “Government money should be ear-marked for research into DMD. At present the research funds for looking into the cause and treatment of this group of relatively rare disorders is very limited.”

As Janet says: “It is the Year 2002 and boys across the world are unable to live into middle age and nobody is doing anything about it. Many of these boys are too young to speak for themselves so as their parents and friends we have to do it for them. Enough is enough.”

Notes for editor

Parent Project UK will be launching at 12pm midday on the steps of St Martins in the field Trafalgar Square where we will be launching and giving out balloons and wearing our blue ribbons (blue for boys)
There will be a photographer present so we can send you photographs
DMD is an X chromosome linked genetic disorder that affects boys. It can be passed genetically through the mother but many new cases are “spontaneous mutations” ie not hereditary. (see web site : www.ppuk.org) Although a huge step forward was taken in 1986 when the make up of dystrophin (the protein the DMD boy is missing) was discovered, little progress has been made – lack of funding is impeding this.
