So I rented a pretty bad movie the other night, called Never Back Down. It had terrible acting and cheesy lines, yet I was completely entertained. I am a sucker for movies where a guy gets beat down and then trains hard to learn some fancy fighting technique. I prefer it when they go to the mountains or jungle and use extreme training techniques with a "master". In the movie Kick Boxer, Van Damme had raw meat tied to his legs and had to run away from German Shepherds…now that is the type of corny action I get into!

Cam Gigandet - Also Has a Big Role in the movie Twilight

Okay back to Cam Gigandet in Never Back Down. The guy is seriously conditioned! This is the type of look that many guys would aim for and believe me…women dig this guy and his physique. The ironic thing is that the mainstream bodybuilding sites tear guys up in the forums for asking how to achieve this type of look (which is one of the reasons I was driven to create this site in the first place). I guess I think the ideal look for men is to be slim and in good shape, while still looking great in clothes…and women to be in great shape while still looking like women (kind of like the men and women in James Bond movies).

Why Most People Fail to Achieve This "Refined Look"

Many women are having a hard time finding a bodybuilding diet that will be fitted for a woman’s body. Most workouts are designed only for the male and the male body. Women have different requirements as with having a bodybuilding diet scheme. These are some advice for women when it comes to workouts and diets:

Eat smaller amount of food: This is a basic rule for diet plans whether for men or women. This is to sustain a consistent intake of nutrients to the body to repair muscles and keep the energy throughout the day. This also helps in speeding up your metabolism because your body and digestion is at work always. With this tip, your muscles are formed without putting up a lot of fat with it.

No need for Gym membership trainers: Almost all gyms have a free gym instructor with your membership. These people may be specialists when it come to bodybuilding but have no idea on the general diet and workouts made only for women. As much as possible avoid free trainers in gyms because what they’ll give you are just muscle building techniques which mainly works for men.

Have a high carb diet before working out: Carbohydrates will sustain your energy. If you need to put up those muscles and make sure that your energy is sustained throughout the workout, a high carb diet should be taken.

There are workouts out there made especially for women. Though not many, they can still give the results that women want specifically made for a woman’s body. You may find these advice helpful but definitely they work.

Stability Ball push-ups are a very good exercise for developing stability throughout your whole body.  If you are a beginner with stability ball exercises try them when you are fresh. Maybe start against the wall.  If you are advanced, try them at the end of your chest, triceps or shoulders workout.
