MUSCLEFACTORY BLOG
Keep up to date with MuscleFactory's Facebook feed without having to be on Facebook! Gym news, how to get bigger arms, fat loss tips, competitions and much more.
With social media sites and the like taking over how people access news and information nowadays, it's becoming increasingly difficult to get hold of sound knowledge without being a member of this, or signing up to that.
Yes, we run a gym social media page (it's good for business) but we are also aware that not everyone has an account and so this blog is all of our main training and nutrition articles from there so that you guys can access them whenever you like. A lot of the stuff including gym offers and giveaways will also be on this website for that very reason so be sure to subscribe to the site for notifications...you've got to be in it to win it!

MICRONUTRIENT IMPORTANCE: WHEN A FEW “VEGGIES” AREN’T ENOUGH
I was guilty of it myself for over 3 decades. Macros and their ratios/amounts were always the most important things to me. As long as I knew what percentages of carbs, protein and fats along with how many grams of each I had to consume tied in with my overall calorie intake depending on whether I wanted to gain muscle and/or lose fat I was golden…or was I? (Not sure what Macronutrients are take a read here https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1376738975812324&id=50779

Boost Your Immune System
As we head into the winter months, a time when the weather gets colder and wetter, the heating gets switched on and off and viruses spread around more than usual, there are a couple of basic things we can do to help build up our immune system. Those of us who train hard should take extra care as this can sometimes put more stress on the body if it is already trying to fight off others stressors. Taking regular exercise is also an important factor in keeping your immune syste

Why Breakfast Is Important
𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁 | 𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙖𝙨𝙩...Don't skip it! The most important meal of the day as we're always told which is pretty much correct.

Mint Choc Berry High Protein Pudding
*•.¸♡🍓🍓♡¸.•*
Kind of at a loss with what to post on Facebook during this very strange/difficult period of time. Coronavirus has left businesses closed and people are spending more time at home than ever. We could post more stuff about proper training but it would all be in vain what with gyms closed everywhere. There will be more great home workouts coming, I just need to wait for a camera person to help when possible. There will also be more bodybuilding pictures! But to

THE BEST THING FOR FAT LOSS?!
Want to strip belly fat? Leg fat? Bum fat?!! No problem... I've got you covered. Hands down this has to be the best fat burner around. 😜 Now I'd recommend staying on it for at least 8 weeks, this is when I've seen pretty decent results.

Q: DO YOU CUT CALORIES TOO LOW IN AN ATTEMPT TO LOSE BODY FAT?
Here's a few very important reasons why you shouldn't. 🚫 It can be very tempting to reduce food and calorie intake if you want to lose fat/change body composition for an upcoming holiday or if you just want to feel a bit better about yourself. However without the right guidance people often reduce them too low and wonder why they're not losing body fat. Then when they see little or no results or a stall in body fat reduction, they will try to reduce even more thinking t

🔥🔥🔥 𝙌𝙪𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙁𝙖𝙩 𝙇𝙤𝙨𝙨 𝙏𝙞𝙥𝙨 🔥🔥🔥
Here's a few tips to help you on your way to shift those few lbs if you're not entirely sure where to start. One thing's for sure though, is that it's NOT with some fad diet plan which claims you can lose 20lbs in a week. Sure you may drop numbers on the scale but one thing I guarantee is that you will end up in a constant cycle of fad dieting/binge eating/fad dieting which is not healthy...remember with anything in life there are no good results from a quick fix .

Vitamin D Is Our Friend
It's been good to enjoy the sunshine while it's out and get some extra vitamin D, which most of us tend to be deficient in particularly during the winter months, as it boasts many benefits and plays an important role during all stages of life. The late Charles Poliquin was a great believer in the supplementation of Vitamin D especially as an athlete as it helps with muscles, bones (helps with calcium absorption) and enhances natural hormone levels (teststerone), thus increasi
