Muscles

Thanks. I will try at the beach. I believe with the sand I can make something better.

 

If you using the springpole must the rear legs still on the ground?

 

Spring pole with back legs on the ground will build up the hind end

 

Very good looking dog, thanks for the pic.
I startend a few weeks ago, but Jojo jumps immediately high with the hind end loose from the ground.
And he loves It very much.
Does your dog also make noise while hanging?
Here a vid of Jojo (with smartphone )


I'm thinking about to use a "Solo tugger" (try to make it myself)



Is this also good for the hind end??

 

Huge myth that building muscle the dog will blow hot. Dogs lose endurance because of low endurance capacity to begin with!

The only way you will increase muscle size is with resistance training. Carpet mill is the easiest and safest way to increase muscle size in a very short time. If time isn't an issue you can see incredible gains in about 3 months or more sometimes within a couple of months you will see noticeable gains. I have seen to many dogs hurt on a flirt pole but the tugger shown on the youtube video is an excellent tool for increasing neck and shoulder muscles. If you have a dog that pulls hard while hand walking it will also increase muscle size.

Diet is critical because in order to take advantage of the dog being in an anabolic state you are gonna need foods high in zinc, magnesium and iron to move blood. Spinach, greens, dark leafy vegetables, black eye peas and soy beans. Creatine is a must because it's a cell volumizer and the strength gains will be noticeable soon. Any wild game will work for a meat source because compared to domesticated animals have as much as 5x the creatine. Feeding atleast 3 to 4 times a day will keep the metabolism burning and protein levels steady. Feeding within 30 minutes after the workout will increase the efficiency of what you are feeding and absorbed better. Protein will be key but more importantly quality and digestibility of the protein is key. Hydrolyzed whey protein isolate is the best protein that can be absorbed quickly and effectively. I use a protein/creatine mixed with water as soon as possible after a workout to get protein synthesis started asap before the after workout meal.

 

I make these for the spring pole. It's strong enough to hold a ship lol. The rope is dirt cheap and easy to replace when they shred it.

 

More muscle mass the more oxygen needed to pump those muscles and the more mass the more weight one is carrying.

This Grey hound would never win any races > http://j-walkblog.com/images/muscularwendy.jpg

LMAO

 

A bodybuilders dream is to be Myostatin deficient. LMAO

 

To much or not enough water is what it is . You come to wet your in trouble to dry no mouth .

 

I give my dog only food no supplements. I feed twice a day. I make my dog food. 7kg chiken with 3 kg of carrot, 7kg beef with Broccoli 7kg fish with beens. Every 1-2 months I change the vegetables. Then I split it to smaller bags and I feed him every meal different taste.

 

In order to truly understand how to increase muscle size you have to start from the beginning with a basic cell. Canines have more mitochondria than humans hence their ability to produce twice as much energy of a human. Think of mitochondria as the power plant of the cell and there are ways to increase mitochondria and it's ability to produce more power.

The reason why creatine was discovered in dogs first is because of mitochondria. Creatine turns a basic 100 watt mitochondria into a 500 watt mitochondria, hence creatine is a cell volumizer. Canines have more mitochondria than humans and that's why canines respond better to fats and oils vs humans. After creatine is used the cells have to be hydrated and the best way to give the cells a double dose of hydration is by feeding high water content fruits and veggies. If anyone follows my posts this is why thru real food you can do a lot of things and hydrating a canine is just one of the benefits!

Anaerobic conditioning will MULTIPLY mitochondria where aerobic conditioning only SLIGHTY increases mitochondria. I'll break it down in terms of building an engine so everyone can understand. Think of mitochondria as 350 engine, creatine strokes it to a 383 engine and here is the kicker. Aerobic conditioning is like adding a bigger carb which slightly increases horsepower but Anaerobic conditioning will MULTIPLY horsepower like adding a supercharger to the stroked engine! Protein is the high octane fuel needed to make sure the engine runs properly while being operated.

The most important element of increasing muscle size is the muscle pump when a dog is in the anabolic state! Nothing else matters or as important when trying to increase muscle size than the "pump"! The sooner and longer the dog is in this pump state determines how much muscle growth occurs.

Don Mayfield was light years ahead of conditioners in his time and if you are using an aerobic blunt tool such as a slat mill you will never maximize a dog's anaerobic capacity!
