Forex Trading Tips Things You Should do to be a Successful Trader




There is no foolproof, surefire way of being successful in the forex market; however, there are some things that you can do to increase your chances of being successful. Here are some things that you can do:

Choose your broker wisely

Your broker is very important when it comes to forex trading; therefore, you should exercise a lot of caution when choosing your broker. To find a good broker you need to do plenty of research.
You should find the trading software used by the broker. You should also find out how efficient the broker's customer service is. One of the best places of finding out this information is in the reviews sites. Here you will read what different people have to say about different brokers. As rule of thumb you should consider hiring the services of a broker who is reputable and shares the same ambition as you.

Start small

The forex market is very volatile; therefore, you can easily lose a lot of money within a short period of time. Experts recommend that you should begin trading with just small sums of money and low leverage then add money as you gain experience and make profits.

Focus on a single currency pair

It's difficult to master all the currency pairs in the market; therefore, you should aim at mastering a single currency pair then as you gain experience, you can expand to other pairs. For example, you can start with USD/EUR pair then after you have mastered how to trade the pair and you can make decent profits, you can branch to other currencies.

Restrain your emotions

Excitement, greed, panic, fear, and euphoria are the most common emotions in the forex market. For example, traders with little experience tend to get over-excited when they make just small success, and they end up making bad trading choices. In the same way, the traders tend to be ruled by fear and panic which results to them making rash decisions which result to lose. It's recommended that you make your trading decisions based on your knowledge rather than on your emotions.

Make use of stop loss order

A stop loss order serves as your insurance as it protects you from making huge loses. If you are not sure of how to make use of it, you should ask your broker to guide you.

Always educate yourself

There is plenty of forex trading information both online and offline and you should take it upon yourself to keep yourself as much informed as possible. Some of the best resources are books available for free and others at a fee. You should also join forex trading forums where you interact with experienced traders.

How to Separate - the Winners From the Losers in Forex Trading



The forex market has grown over the past few years at a rate that no one could have predicted. Many people have made a lot of money forex trading. However, many people have also lost their shirts. So what separates the winners from the losers? Below are a few tips that may just make the difference in whether you come out on top or not in the forex market.

Learn, Then Practice, Then Learn Even More

This is by far the most important tip for being successful with forex trading. To be a great trader you must constantly be developing and honing your skills. Educating yourself on the ins and outs of forex trading will only further empower you. When doing any kind of trading, knowledge is the most powerful asset even before money. Take the time to develop a solid foundation by reading about strategy and studying historical data. Also, attend seminars that focus on forex trading. You can easily find them online to sign up for. Then either open a small account or practice with some of the online sites that offer trading with demo accounts.

Believe in What You're Doing

If you have put in the time and effort to prepare yourself for live trading then trust your instincts and don't second guess yourself. You have to put faith in the education you have acquired of forex trading and not rely on someone else's suggestions or opinions. Be decisive and rely on yourself.

Realize You Will Make Mistakes

Even people that have been trading for years still make mistakes. You have to be able to accept losses. That doesn't mean you should give up or not care if you lose. Instead, make it your driving force to not make the same mistake twice. The more you research and study trends the less risk you will be assuming.

Find Out What Style of Trading You Want To Do

Are you going to be setting up six monitors so you can watch every move of every minute or will you be forex trading more patiently? Know which style works best for your personality. A good time to figure it out is while you are practicing. Try one extreme to the other and see which worked best for you then stick with it on the beginning. Later, after you have mastered one style, you can test the waters of other methods.

The most successful forex traders make analyzed and calculated trades. They do not second guess themselves or base their decisions on what someone else thinks or does. Take the information you have read here and use it to further your forex trading ability.

Calcium & Vitamin D



In talking with my gynecologist, Dr. Vineela Poddatoori, she asked if I had had a bone density test. No, I 


replied. What's that? Like I need another test.

Women my age often suffer from loss of bone density, and an x-ray can show where I'm at. We decided that, since the test normally applies to 65+ year old women, I would opt for one next year. She also thought that I had been irradiated enough for one year.



She then gave me a sheet about "Calcium & Vitamin D Supplementation." In truth, I had been taking a Calcium/Vitamin D supplement due to advice from my GP, Dr. Miller, but I have so many pills to take a day as it is (10) that I gave up one this one.  I vowed to start again.

The vitamins I have offer a paltry amount of either calcium or Vitamin D. So today I found one that ups the voltage.

The sheet she gave said that for a woman age 50-65 not taking full-dose estrogen -- that's me -- I should take 1500 mg a day. And let me tell you: it's hard to find a once-a-day pill that will give you that quantity.

But I found one that will give me a rather easy-to-swallow (gel filled with liquid, not hard edges) that approaches that amount for both Calcium and Vitamin D, AND it was on sale. And, if I start now, perhaps that bone density test won't show a lot of bone loss. Well, I'm starting late, but you have to start somewhere.

Hippo : therapy fridays



From the moment I walk in peace surrounds me. The smell of hay and horses wafts even into the lobby providing instant aromatherapy.

I check in at the office, sign my name, put on my volunteer badge and then go to the barn.
More intense aromatherapy greets me, I hear nickers from the horses and Jewel the barn cat comes running for a belly scratch and petting.

I usually walk through to see who is in the stalls. I greet Sargent, a huge draft horse cross, his huge head nods up and down as I whisper hello and talk to him a bit.

Next I scout out to see if the Fjords, a solid stocky breed, are in from the paddocks. I notice that T Ball and Lightning, brothers, are side by side and "talking" to one another. 

I continue to check to see if Chico and Lincoln are inside yet.

I check with the barn manager and if needed go out to the paddocks to bring the needed therapy horses into the barn. I am not yet experienced to be alone in the fields with the horses, so someone with more experience goes with me to show me the ropes.

I am a novice here. A new student, absorbing all the knowledge I can, trying to memorize the faces and personalities of each horse. There is much to learn: the difference between a halter and bridle, an ulti pad versus a medical pelt. New words enter my vocabulary: surcingle, rainbow reins, bevel pads, chestnuts, withers, girth, channels, lunge lines, long lines~ I take it in hoping to someday not have to ask so many questions.

I am guided by life long horse people whom I am sure secretly smile at the excitement of a middle age woman's joy at learning to "pick hooves". I ask lots of questions, they answer patiently. Some days I am sure they would prefer someone more experienced, but they seem to realize I am learning and dedicated so I sense them relaxing and giving me more responsibility.

Of all the horses, my favorite is Lincoln. He is smaller than the Fjords, a quarter horse cross. I call him my "mud bug". He comes in quite messy from the paddocks. The client who rides him for hippotherapy is allergic to everything, so Lincoln must be thoroughly brushed before his tack is put on and even then, he is covered in a sheet, pinned on around his neck and withers. 

He is patient with me, really all the horses are. They are highly trained to be patient as they work with disabled and handicapped children and adults. But in the grooming bays, their personalities peek through. Wanda likes to nip, Chico likes to nibble at sleeves, Lincoln yawns, relaxing under the curry comb and stiff brush.

It is peaceful in the barn, no music blares, no sounds of traffic, just the twittering of birds, the barn cats occasional mewing, the nickering of horses and the distant sounds of a child's delight from the arena.

I curry and brush, pick the hooves, leaning into the massive warmth of the horse as they raise their foot. I hold it on my leg and clean around their frog, getting the muck and mud out. I lower their foot, give them a pat and move on to the next chore.

I know these are not typical horses. I know they are patient with me and forgiving. They are great to learn on. They don't kick at me or try to bite. I am learning to read their body language and long for the day when I really connect with them. I am getting there and it is a wondrous journey...

The silent sibling




Walking the beach
three of us
side by side,
linked by blood
and the shadow of him.

We are siblings,
all middle aged
and peers now
but the birth order
persists

Eldest, middle and the baby.
But one is missing.
His presence is felt
in the uneven number.

Three where once were four.

We talk of him,
our big brother,
remembering,
loving, laughing,
hurting.

He is with us
in our hearts,
Our minds,
Our souls.
In our DNA,
in our blood.

Never forgotten,
the love remains
but we ache for the hugs,
the laughter now stilled,
the voice that is silent.

We are three that once were four.

Poisonous-Voices




Feeling like a failure
despite evidence to the contrary.

The small voice of derision
outshouts all the facts.

Should/could/would
form a chain blocking happiness.

Tears sting the back of my eyelids
star bright anguish.

Heavy hearted, struggling to breath
to not cry.

I am the only guest
at a pity party.

Will Americans ever Submit To Mandatory population Control?



The other day, we are having an interesting conversation at our think tank about exactly how many people could live in the United States comfortably without running out of resources. We were a little concerned because of some of the reports which had come out about how populations around the planet were overfishing our oceans, polluting air, running out of fresh water, and soon someday in the future fossil fuels. In many parts of the world overpopulation has already occurred. In the United States we don't see it because everything seems to be all right.

Still, this doesn't mean we should rest on our laurels, because if we continue to allow new immigrants into our country, and they along with us continue to have more babies, eventually we will run out of resources ourselves, and if the rest of the world is having trouble feeding themselves, they won't have any excess to send our way - at any price we might pay. Are you beginning to understand the problem? Now then, how many people can America hold, and what do we do when we reach our limits? Specifically will Americans ever submit to some sort of coercive or mandatory birth and population control?

One of our Supreme Court justices has nine offspring. If each one of those kids has nine more kids and so on, in a four or five generations that will equal a huge number. Suffice to say that everyone probably shouldn't do that, but Justice Scalia's excuse was; "What can I say, I am Catholic?" Okay so, therein lies another problem, and let's just call it religion or culture. We also know that Hispanic immigrants typically have more children, the Mormons have quite a number of kids, and we have other groups and cultures within our own society that seem to enjoy having large numbers of offspring.

In the future that just might not be possible. But would our citizens agree to only having two children per family therefore we would have zero population growth? Well it might surprise you to learn that 75% of Chinese approve the one-child rule, as per a 2011 Pew Research Survey. Of course, most of the people in China are of no religion, so they don't have the religious bias, and they are used to heavy-handed government telling them how to live, and what to do, indoctrinating them from very early age that this extreme authoritarian rule is for their own good.

My question is would that work here in the United States considering that Americans are so independent by nature. They don't like big government, and they certainly don't like being told what to do. So, one has to ask if mandatory population birth control would ever be possible here at home. Please consider all this and think on it.

World population control - What about birth tourism?



It has been postulated that sometime in the future humans are going to have to curb their population growth. This makes sense, and I think inherently anyone who has ever thought about it has come to the same conclusion. Nevertheless, where do you draw the line in the sand? Do you attempt to have draconian measures as they did in China with their one child strategy? And what if some nations choose to limit their population and other nations don't? What will happen then I ask? Okay so let's talk about this for a moment because the issue came up at our think tank recently.

Indeed, judging by history I would submit to you that if some nations have mandatory birth control or population control while other nations do not, then more people will travel to those other nations to have babies, or even migrate to live there. You may not know this, but birth tourism is something that China had to deal with from 1979 to 2011 during the enforcement of their one-child policy or family planning policy. Since couples could only have 1 child, which over that period prevented 400 million births, some would go to Hong Kong, Macau, and other places where those rules were exempt. About 40% of the population was subject to these rules.

If you'd like to know just how serious the problem of overpopulation of the planet will be in the year 2050, 2075, 2100 or even 2150 there's a very good book I'd like to recommend you read; "Humans: An Endangered Species - The Only Solution" by Jason G. Brent, Self-Published, Las Vegas, NV, 2012, 121 pages, ISBN: 978-0-9854129-6.

Now this book may disturb you a little bit in its conclusions, but if you consider the 7 billion people on the planet today, obviously if you doubled that, and then doubled it again, and then one more time, then we would be eating ourselves out of house and home, and there would be far too many people on the planet. So do we curb our population growth today, slow it down a bit, allow people to live longer, and everything will be okay - or do we negate the reality that we have a problem and keep going and doing what we've been doing in the past?

You see, if we don't fix the problem we are going to have shortages of resources, food, clean water, health, energy, housing, and everything else. In which case human populations will collapse on their own accord due to the physical laws of nature - so we can either do something about it, or wait for the verdict from nature, and I guarantee you won't like it when it all does hit the fan. Please consider all this and think on it.

What A butt Lift Surgeon Can do For Your behind



A butt lift surgeon can enhance and improve the appearance of your buttocks. This surgery, known medically as gluteoplasty, both lifts and tightens the skin of the buttocks. When the surgery takes place, the excess skin is taken away from the body. The tissue that is left behind is then carefully repositioned to give way to a younger and more appealing body contour. This procedure is not the same as a Brazilian butt lift which is undertaken to increase volume in the rear end by using injections of the individual's own fat.

The one negative aspect of having this cosmetic procedure performed is that the buttocks might end up being too flat. If this is a concern of yours, the lift may be done at the same time as fat grafting, or some other kind of augmentation strategy. Discuss with the butt lift surgeon the likelihood that you could be one of those patients who experiences this issue.

This cosmetic procedure is primarily undertaken on people who have large quantities of loose, sagging skin on their buttocks region, as well as on the back of their upper thighs. In some instances, this operation may improve the appearance of cellulite. The aim of the butt lift surgeon is to get the body looking as normal as possible following a loss of skin elasticity, associated with changes that occur as a result of the aging process or due to extreme loss of weight.

This operation is more about getting rid of skin than fat. While small quantities of fat can be removed at the same time as excess skin, a gluteoplasty is not geared at removing large deposits of fat. It is about the elimination of loose and flabby skin that detracts from the individual's appearance.

Before you consult with a butt lift surgeon about this procedure, get your weight under control if you need to shed pounds. Please note that you should be at or close to a weight that is stable and healthy for your body before you say yes to this procedure.

The individuals who make the most suitable candidates for gluteoplasty are those in good health who have no serious medical conditions. Non-smokers are better candidates than smokers because they heal faster. The person choosing to have a butt lift must be at a normal weight and must be committed to living a healthy lifestyle that includes nutritious eating and regular physical activity.

Which birth Control Method Is best For You?



The best methods of birth control are the reversible ones! There are three and we're going to look briefly at the advantages and disadvantages of each. Two of the three are Intrauterine Devices (IUDs) and the third is an implant. These are the three most common reversible options available today. They are long lasting and are the most widespread kind of reversible birth control available.

The Hormonal IUD

The hormonal IUD is T-shaped and releases progesterone into your uterus. It lasts for 5 years and can be removed sooner if you wish. Like the other two options is it over 99% effective and doesn't have the side effects of having your tubes tied. This is an effective option if you suffer from heavy periods and may be used exclusively for that purpose. You'll choose this option is you aren't concern about extra hormones in your body.

What's The Catch?

You can expect irregular periods for the first 6 months and 20% of women may have their periods stop altogether. If this is a concern for you then you shouldn't choose this method. For most women, periods are shorter and lighter. Remember that these side effects last for the duration of the IUD which is 5 years or until to decide to have it removed. As with non-hormonal IUDs, these don't protect you against Sexually Transmitted Infections (SDIs).

The Cooper IUD

This is a non-hormonal 10-year contraception made from plastic and copper. It's highly effective, safe and long-lasting. It can be removed at any time and is perfect for women who don't want extra hormones in their bodies. You should choose this method if you are concerned about having extra hormones.

What Should I Know?

Although it seems preferable to avoid extra hormones and be protected against accidental pregnancy for longer, copper IUDs will make periods heavier and you'll suffer from worse cramping. This may get better over time. String are connected and may become soft but shouldn't interfere with intercourse. Just like the hormonal IUD, this method of birth control doesn't protect against SDIs. You should always practice safe sex.

How IUDs Work

A clinician will perform a pelvis exam to determine the size and position of your uterus. Next, they'll insert a speculum to wash your uterus and then insert the IUD into your uterus. It takes less than 5 minutes and you can take ibuprofen to take away any feelings of pain or discomfort. Both types of IUD work by blocking fertilization, rather than preventing implantation of sperm. You should take the risk of SDI's very seriously and always practice safe sex by insisting that a condom is used. Be responsible and always have condoms available.

Getting the Best Cancer treatment For Leukemia



The major danger associated with most types of cancers is that it does not show any symptoms in the earlier stage until when the cancer has spread at an enormous level. Leukemia is also one such type of cancer where the symptoms are hardly evident at an earlier stage. It is only during a physical examination that the condition might be diagnosed. Routine blood testing can also often help in determining the disease, and in such a situation, the Cancer Treatment to be given to the patient largely is determined on the basis of the stage of cancer.

Some Significant Symptoms:

There are some significant symptoms that might be evidenced in the patient but mistaken for some other disease. However, with the occurrence of such conditions, a doctor should be consulted with the earliest, because only a doctor can carry out through blood test or physical test in order to find whether this is actually leukemia. If the patient is detected with leukemia, the doctor can suggest him a good Leukemia Treatment by means of which his condition can be improved to some extent. In most cases, the person suffering from the disease appears to be quite pale, with swollen gums, bruising, enlarged liver, or even persistent infections.

Blood Test Results:

When the blood test shows an enormous count of white cells, the doctor might think of diagnosing the condition. There are again different types of leukemia, and in order to determine the exact type of leukemia, a biopsy might also have to be conducted. The combination of all these things together can help in determining the ideal Cancer Treatment that should be provided to the patient by means of which his condition can be significantly improved. In most cases, the disease is non-curable, and only the symptoms can be improved.

Would humans Use condoms More Often If They had A Better Feeling To Them?



Not long ago, the Gates Foundation did a study on how to make condoms in such a way to give a more sensual feeling. When many folks heard about this, they thought it was a waste of money, and an unfortunate blight on such a great foundation which has done so many great things for humanity. The reality is I completely disagree. I think it is a great idea, but folks who are shortsighted may have lost some of the philosophy involved here or the reasoning behind it.

Likewise, the Gates Foundation caught flak for having a contest to design a better toilet. The parameters were simple for the contest; it had to be easy to mass-produce, inexpensive to make, and made from materials of various types found in regions throughout the world. They did find a perfect design, one which was adequate, and one which people would use. This means the ground water will not get contaminated, and there will be less disease spread amongst very poor populations.

After all, it costs quite a bit of money to bring in drugs to help people who have bacterial infections, and other problems, it's much simpler to figure out a way to keep the water clean, and dispose of the human waste which is getting into the groundwater or the drinking water in that case. In many regards the concept of designing a condom which allows for a more sensual feeling is completely a wise idea. Why you ask? Because the number one reason many men do not use condoms, is they don't like the way it feels.

Of course it doesn't feel real, it is artificial after all, and it's made of unnatural polymers, rubber and plastic. Well, here's the deal, if we don't solve this problem and more people don't start using birth control we will continue to spread diseases, and create more babies which we cannot afford to feed, as the human population goes out of control. Yes, an important topic as you can see, and on this subject there is a very good book you might like to read;

"Humans: An Endangered Species - The Only Solution" by Jason G. Brent, Self-Published, Las Vegas, NV, 2012, 121 pages, ISBN: 978-0-9854129-6. Now then, when it comes to birth control and the use of condoms the author states the following;

"Any argument in support of voluntary birth control, regardless of how well supported by history, facts, or numerical projections of reality, must first and foremost overcome every single pronate all religious, cultural, political and personal believe and lifestyle choice of everyone affected. History has shown us without fail, that the human race, in mass, is simply not sufficiently evolved socio-intellectually to the degree needed to accept and implement the changes required that would ultimately work in humanities own, collective, long-term benefit."

Okay so, he says it very bluntly, but what if the Gates Foundation is able to find the perfect condom, and what if they are able to make those condoms available for everyone? If everyone uses these there will be fewer births, less disease, and healthier humans. Maybe it is possible after all, maybe we need to get this one right, and maybe everyone who's giving the Gates Foundation flak for looking into this problem ought to think the problem thoroughly through before making their comments. Please consider all this and think on it.

Ending contraception to conceive: When And How



As a woman, you've probably spent years trying to avoid becoming pregnant through the use of one form of contraception or another. If you're thinking about trying to conceive soon, though, it's likely time to end your relationship with contraceptives. If you're unsure of how long it might take you to conceive after contraceptive use, read on.

Oral Contraceptives, The Ring, and the Patch:

There is a widely-held myth among women that it might take a while to conceive after ending oral contraceptives, but that's simply not true. Many women are surprised to find out they're pregnant soon after ending their relationship with the pill, before they've even had a period. Likewise, pregnancy can occur quickly after using the patch or the Nuva Ring.

While you never know when a baby's going to show up, if you're a planner who wants to know when you've conceived, you should wait until you have one full menstrual cycle after you stop taking the pill before you start trying to conceive. That may mean that you need to use alternative birth control methods, such as condoms, until you're ready. And if you're not ready to start trying for a baby quite yet, don't stop taking the pill, or use a barrier method.

Implanon

You might get pregnant any time after the implant is removed, though it usually takes at least three months, if not more.

Depo-Provera

These hormonal birth control shots are given to a woman every three months. Women who want to conceive can expect to get pregnant three to four months after their last shot, at the earliest.

For other women, it may take a while for the hormones that make Depo-Provera shots effective to filter out of their body, and in such cases pregnancy may take up to a year or two. If you want children within the next year or so, you might want to consider transitioning from birth control shots to non-hormonal birth control option such as condoms.

IUDs

Mirena IUDs are a hormonal type of IUD. For most women, fertility returns fairly quickly after removal. According to the manufacturer of Mirena, 80% of women trying to conceive will do so within a year of having their IUD removed.

The copper IUD, called ParaGaurd, also promises a quick return to fertility after it is removed. Note, however, that the device will need to be removed during your period. You will need to talk with your pregnancy physician about when the best time will be for your IUD to be removed.

If you're thinking about becoming pregnant, you should talk with your obstetrician about when the best time would be for you to end your contraception. You should plan a preconception checkup with your provider where, in addition to recommendations about when to end contraception, your pregnancy physician can review your overall health to ensure that you're in good health to begin the pregnancy journey.

Important features Of An Ideal wheel



There is a common question that often plagues the minds of both car owners and aspiring car owners alike. This question has often been just how important is a wheel to a car? The other closely related question is what's more important, the wheel or the tire? Or which of the two should be more stylish. Well, the answers to these questions could be correlated or totally unrelated, it all depends on what exactly you would like to get out of these two important car accessories.

First things first, a wheel is the metallic portion around which a tire is wrapped. In other words, there can never be a car tire without a wheel. Ironically though, it is the term tire that is commonly used to describe the combination of the two.

Tires serve to reduce transmission of road shocks by providing a cushion between the vehicle and the road. The contoured surface of the tire also provides the friction necessary for the movement of the vehicle. Rubber is the most common material used during the manufacture of tires though a combination of other materials can equally work well. However, for the avoidance of doubt, let's try and put a little focus on the wheel as a component of the tire and while at it we can keep the tire in the rear view mirror, just to remind ourselves how the two complement each other. Here are some of the necessary features of a wheel:

i. A wheel generally needs to be strong enough to provide adequate support to the vehicle. All the forces associated with the operation of the vehicle are supported by the wheel

ii. On the flip side, a wheel needs to be light. Sounds mechanically unbalanced but this is where the issue of metal used comes in. it's all about keeping the un-sprung weight to a bare minimum.

Aluminum is known to excellently combine strength and light weight to achieve the desired support to the vehicle. In addition, aluminum is also a better conductor of heat and by easily dissipating heat from the tires and brakes, it is considered to be a better material for the manufacture of wheels compared to steel. This is especially the case in aluminum alloy wheels.

iii. Another important aspect of a wheel is the ventilation holes. The flange (mid-section) of the wheel is usually lined with holes for ventilation. This is important for circulation of air to the brakes.

iv. Drop center design: this is an optional design for wheels but usually necessary for passenger car wheels. The design facilitates fitting and removal of the wheel whenever need arises. It is however important to note that tire fitting and removal should always be done in accordance with the manufacturers manual.
It is important for a driver to understand these important features in order to make an informed decision when buying a car

Hammer curls and Bicep curls



If you want to stay healthy you're going to have to exercise. The old adage what you don't use, you lose is true. Your muscles need to remain active or they atrophy. Exercise improves circulation and keep your heart in good condition with aerobics.

Exercise comes in many forms to include running, walking, swimming, all kinds of sports, and weightlifting. Some involve aerobics, which exercises the heart and improves circulation. Other exercises work on various muscle groups to help tone them and keep them working effectively.

Weightlifting, when done properly forces your body to build new muscle mass to compensate for the stress that you put on it. Depending on your desired effect, you lift heavy or light weights and you adjust the repetitions. You can also put emphasis on certain muscle groups that you might want to develop due to weaknesses in that area.

If your biceps need work there couple of exercises that are excellent for developing muscle mass and tone in that area. Depending on who you talk to, there are two types of basic bicep exercises you should pay attention to. What one is the hammer curl and the other is a regular curl. Which one is best?

Regular curls are performed with the palms up holding the weights. Depending on the repetitions in the amount of weight used, this is an excellent way to build bicep muscles. It specifically targets the bicep muscles only and focuses all your attention there.

The hammer curls are also an excellent way to build up your bicep muscles, however they are done in a slightly different way. Unlike the regular curls, holding the weights, you rotate your hands inward. In this way you can exercise those biceps effectively. In addition, you can also work forearms. Now you're working two muscle groups at the same time.

Which one is better? With the hammer curls, you could say you're getting the benefits of working two muscle groups rather than just one. You are working your biceps effectively, but at the same time you're also working those forearms. With the regular curls to only working the biceps.

Pre : workout meal



The Pre-workout intake is a snack that you take before your workout. It is the second most important meal of the day, complemented by post-workout snack. The purpose of this meal is to prepare your body for muscle damages to come, as well as to ensure a good level of energy throughout your workout.

Pre-workout carbohydrates:

Unlike a post workout meal, you must consume low glycemic index carbohydrates before your workout (Complex carbohydrates). Pre-workout Complex carbohydrates help ensure a sufficient energy level for the entire workout. Not consuming them before the workout may limit your efforts. Oatmeal, bananas (green) or whole meal bread are foods rich in complex carbohydrates suitable for pre-workout.

Pre-workout proteins:

Muscle Catabolism does not occur only at night but also during the workout. Therefore, it is important to eat proteins before the workout to limit the damage. These proteins are going to put the body in anabolic conditions at the beginning of your workout and start your recovery faster. As in post workout, the protein ingested before the workout can be consumed as dietary supplements.

Before the workout, should you eat slow or fast absorbing protein? It is best to mix the two. For dietary supplements enthusiasts, a mixture of whey protein 40g and 350ml of skimmed milk is perfect. Consume slow absorbing proteins in addition to fast absorbing ones will slow the absorption of the mixture, ensuring a constant protein intake. The whey is ideal for a pre-workout meal because it is a supplement naturally rich in BCAA: Three amino acids that fight effectively against catabolism.

Pre-workout meal: timing and quantity.

Your pre-workout snack and your workout should be spaced 1 hour to 1:30 apart to leave enough time for the body to digest and assimilate all the nutrients. Whey protein is very fast to assimilate; you can eat it 50 minutes before the workout.

Concerning the amounts of protein and carbohydrates to consume, this can vary depending on your workout. If you're about to do an intense workout (weight gain or maximal strength), consume 20g of protein and 40 grams of complex carbohydrates. These quantities are sufficient to ensure energy expenditure and to counter the catabolism of the targeted muscles. But if you're about to do a cardio workout which aims to lose weight, eat only 20g of protein. Not consuming carbohydrates will force your body to tap into your glycogen stores and fat reserves.

As for carbohydrates, the banana is a high energy fruit but be careful because its sugar intake varies according to maturity: a very ripe banana will provide you with simple sugar while a slightly green banana will give you more of carbohydrates.

Simple sugars right before the workout:

You can also eat simple sugars 25 minutes before your workout to provide a dose of instant energy to your body. Fruit juices or whole fruits are a good source of simple sugar (orange, grape). Moreover, orange juice contains potassium which improves muscle contraction and definition.

Do not eat too much fast sugar before the workout because it can become counterproductive. Simple sugars are instantly broken down by your body and arrive quickly into your blood. Your blood sugar rises sharply and therefore your insulin levels too. The problem of the insulin spike is that it always causes a feeling of fatigue and weakness that will disrupt your workout (reactive hypoglycemia).

Glucose VS fructose:

Simple sugars found in fruits are named fructose. For the most perfectionists, you should know that this type of sugar must first pass through the liver before being converted into glucose (or glycogen).
