I really liked it. I have also created a lens in same niche. This is my first time, hope u guys like it. Here’s a brief intro I hope that my site helps to guide you in the correct direction so that you will avoid many of the mistakes I've made in my long journey to gain weight. Even the "newbies" know that bodybuilding magazines are created to sell supplements, plain and simple. The guys with the 6 steps to Massive _____ are affiliated with the magazine sponsor's advertisers. They gear their programs to succeed with only the supplements sold in between the magazine covers.

Muscle fibre tearing and repair are what contributes to muscle gain, so I suppose it could be possible (although most likely with very limited results). Unless you have a good personal trainer who has told you otherwise and you are bodybuilding for competition, I'd highly caution against using stretching in this manner. You could severely cause damage to your muscles by stretching them too far. While stretching is important for flexibility, I don't think it should be focused on for building muscle, much less weight loss. If your goal is to lose weight, keep in mind that nothing substitues a good diet. Losing weight requires taking in less calories than the calories burned in a given day. Extra muscle mass simply assists in burning calories. You can build giant muscles, but without a good diet you will never get to where you want to be. Weight training, cardio and rest only supplement diet when it comes to weight loss. In the end, it's the combination of all of these things that will determine how successful you are.
