be acquainted with Your Car's Auto Air Conditioning System

2013-01-25T11:48:00.004-08:00

Parts Of Your Car's Auto Air Conditioning System Parked at HOME garaged or on your drive.
If your auto air conditioning system is giving you problems, you probably need the help of a specialist. However, sometimes you can fix some of the more minor problems yourself, or at least arrange for a stopgap measure until you actually get the time to visit a car repair shop. For that you need to be familiar with the inner workings of your auto air conditioning system, and be acquainted with the more common problems that such systems face.

The first thing you need to realize is that the A/C in your car is basically just a fridge. You have mostly the same parts, with a design change. Given below are the most common parts of a car air conditioner:-

The Compressor: - The compressor pressurizes the refrigerant and circulates it throughout your car. Compressors usually malfunction if there is a leak in the system

The Condenser: - The condenser's job is twofold. First, as can be guessed from its name, the condenser cools the refrigerant by removing excess heat from it. Second, it catches any debris coming from the compressor. Condensers are expensive and cannot be replaced frequently; at least not without causing a severe dent in your pocket, so it's better to clean and repair them when necessary.

The Refrigerant: - This is what collects the heat from inside your vehicle and dumps it outside. In modern cars it's a substance called R134a, whereas older cars have something called Freon. Freon has been gradually phased out because of the damage it causes to the ozone layer.

The Expansion Valve: - This is a type of nozzle that controls the pressure and flow of the refrigerant.

The Evaporator: - This transfers the heat from your car to the refrigerant, effectively cooling your car.

These are the basic parts of your car air conditioner, and while knowing them will not allow you to do the work of a skilled auto technician, they can help identify the more common A/C related problems and decide which one needs immediate attention.

For those looking to fix their auto air conditioning, Tucson has quite a few options. However, the one name that most auto enthusiasts of the area trust is Brakemax. They provide complete car care of the highest quality, and if you love your car and would not entrust it to anyone but the best, you need to visit brakemax.com and check out their services immediately.

10 Biggest Mistakes Grape Growers Make

2013-01-20T13:09:00.001-08:00

Just the other day, me and a good friend of mine, was talking about the mistakes most of the grape growers make.

These are basic errors that can easily fixed if the grape grower knows how to.

Here are 10 things most grape growers do wrong.

1. Poor planning of your vineyard

Remember, the best row direction for a grape vine is north/south. This will give the vines the maximum exposure to the much-needed sunlight and the vines need the sunlight to ripen fruit, ripen buds, and for normal photosynthesis.

2. Underestimation of the vitality of the vine

Too many people construct their trellises to small and then the vine overgrows the whole trellis by so much, that the advantages of having a trellis have no effect! The main purpose of a trellis is to support the vine, but another main reason for having a trellis is to spread the shoots, so it will be exposed to enough sunlight.

3. The trellis is not constructed beforehand.

I see this problem often. You plant your vine, and think you will set up the trellis later and this usually never happens before the 2nd year. What you are actually doing, is setting back the development of your vine with one full year! And normally this makes pruning, training and disease control almost impossible! Construct your trellis before you plant the vine, this will guarantee that you can start training the vine as soon as starts growing.

4. Underestimating the importance of removing site shoots when training your vine.

Side shoots set back the growth of your young vine and uses energy that could have gone into growth. One very important thing to remember is that side shoots are used for developing the framework of the vine, once it reaches the trellis. Do not remove any side shoots, within 6 inches from the bottom trellis wire, once your vine reaches the this wire.

5. Summer treatments not done properly

The removing of leaves, the suckering of water shoots, the twining of shoots and the thinning out of bunches (if you want larger berries) is not often done by home grape growers. Applying the correct summer treatments, will ensure that pruning during the winter will be much easier. This will also keep your vine from compacting, which will be bad for sunlight penetration, disease control and ripening of fruit, shoots and buds.

6. Choking of young training shoots

When training the vine, we use a string attached to the vine and stretched to the bottom wire of the trellis. This training line (strings) is tied the incorrect way so shoot above this string was chosen to train and develop the vine. Once the stem of the vine grows thicker, and this training wire was not removed, it chokes the vine and can even kill it! I've seen 2-year-old vine die because of this.

7. Leaving way to many clusters on young vines

I call this greediness (not being rude :-). This is natural, you leave as many grapes as you can on a young vine - actually, what you are doing is setting back the young vine and eventually you will struggle to develop a strong framework

8. Choosing the wrong shoots when pruning

Choosing the wrong shoot will have a direct influence on the crop size. Use only strong, well matured shoots as bearers for next season's crop. If you cane prune, this is even more important!

9. Not training the vine the correct way.

This is by far the biggest mistake, home grape growers make and this will influence the vine for the rest of its life. The training of a young vine must be done properly because the training method you use, will make the framework of your vine.

10. Knowledge!

OK so even the most experienced grape grower, still learns new things every single day, but you must teach yourself the basic knowledge of the grape vine, before you start growing one.

Most of the home grape growers make these basic mistakes. Applying the correct techniques will ensure a healthy, great looking, fruitful and happy grape vine.

"The Complete Grape Growers Guide" will cover ALL of these mistakes in detail.

Have a grape (great) day!

Gardening Gloves

2012-10-02T14:02:00.000-07:00

Gardening Gloves

There are hundreds of different types of gloves on the market, and the kind of gardening glove you buy depends on the way you garden. Some gloves offer protection against specific substances or things, for example, leather gloves are not the best for working with chemicals or water. Many gardening gloves are specialized for pruning thorns, refilling gasoline tanks, or using a chain saw, while others are for general tasks such as raking, digging, and weeding.

After choosing the type of gardening glove you need, you must make sure and pick out the perfect fit. Gloves that are too big have a tendency to slip off while gloves that are too small could cause aches and cramps. Any glove that doesn’t fit could defeat the whole purpose of wearing gloves and cause blistering. To find a glove with the best fit possible, try the gloves on both hands, make a fist, and imitate the movements you make when gardening. If there is no pinching or slipping and the glove is comfortable then you have found your match.

Gardening gloves can be bought in many places and are produced by many companies, causing them all to have a different quality and price. Most gloves can be washed in cool water and then air dried. There are many different types of gloves you can purchase to satisfy your varying needs, such as cotton and cotton-polyester for general-purpose chores. These are among the most popular gloves and are perfect for light chores in cool and dry weather. Leather gloves can also be used for general chores but are heavier than cotton and polyester. Chemical resistant gloves will help protect your hands against oils, acids, herbicides, pesticides, and many other chemicals. Grip enhancing gloves are designed with rubber dots for extra gripping power. Cut and puncture resistant gloves are designed to offer extra protection against sharp edges

If you are the type person that only wears gloves as an optional luxury for various tasks, you should think seriously for using specialized gardening gloves for many of the activities you will be doing outside. There is really no reason not to wear gardening gloves; they protect your hands from the elements and don’t ever cost all that much.

One of the best things about gardening is felling warm, moist dirt in your bare hands, but you will often end up with blistered, chapped, and scraped skin. The solution to this problem is gardening gloves. The more time you spend getting down and dirty in the garden, the more you need gardening gloves. Gardening gloves will be able to ease some of the pain you would otherwise be subject to, letting you spend even more time playing in the dirt.

switch to Hydroponics gardening

2012-10-02T13:52:00.000-07:00

Hydroponics Gardening

Many gardeners are beginning to switch to Hydroponics gardening for many different reasons. These types of gardens are small and can easily be grown inside and are perfect for most vegetables, especially the red tomato. Also the equipment required for Hydroponics gardening is not expensive and they are relatively easy to manage.

http://tinyurl.com/9ajzeq5
[Open in new window]

Even though there are hundreds of different variations, Wick, Water Culture, Ebb and Flow, Drip, N.F.T., and Aeroponic are the six most basic types of Hydroponics gardening systems. Hydroponics gardening is easy, affordable, and you can have fresh produce, flowers, herbs & spices all year long!

Hydroponics gardening is only as difficult as you make it. It can be complicated if computers with sensors are used to control water cycles, nutrients, and light for the plants. However, it can also be as simple as a hand watered bucket with a single plant. The normal home Hydroponics system is usually made up of a few basic things: a growing tray, light (natural or artificial), a reservoir, a water controlled pump for watering (or some type of watering equipment), and some form of air pump to give oxygen to the nutrients.

The growing medium used in Hydroponics gardening can be any number of things, such as Rockwool, perlite, coconut fiber, gravel, sand, vermiculite, or even air. You can get instructions from a gardening store or online or buy separate parts and build your own. There are also kits already assembled for sale in gardening supply stores.

There are certain micro-nutrients that are necessary for healthy plant growth including magnesium, sulfur, calcium, cobalt, boron, iron, copper, manganese, and zinc. These nutrients are absolutely essential to plants and if missing could cause the food to not be as healthy and in some cases even cause health problems for those who eat it. It is very important that you use a quality fertilizer when Hydroponics gardening.

Another important aspect of Hydroponics gardening that must be closely regulated is the pH balance. When the pH balance varies the plants will lose the ability to absorb nutrients that it needs. The ease with which the pH in Hydroponics gardening is tested and controlled give it a huge advantage over regular dirt gardening.

http://tinyurl.com/9ajzeq5
[Open in new window]

Hydroponics gardening is the growing of plants without soil, in other words, “dirtless gardening”. There are many methods of Hydroponics gardening, most of which work better than regular soil gardening because it is easier to give the plant exactly what it needs when it needs it. Plants will only receive what you give them; therefore you will be able to regulate the pH, nutrients, nutrient strength, water amount, and light amount. This makes it imperative that you research the kind of plants you will be growing so you know what they need to survive.

Try Indoor Gardening

2012-10-02T13:44:00.004-07:00

Indoor Gardening

http://tinyurl.com/9ajzeq5
[Open in new window]

Indoor gardening is not all that difficult; in fact, it is pretty much the same as outdoor. There are even some advantages to indoor gardening. For example, you won’t have to worry as much about bugs and insects bothering your plants. You also won’t have to worry about wind or frost reeking havoc on your garden.

When picking out plants for indoor gardening, make sure the plants are adaptable and will be able to thrive in the conditions and setting in your house. Consider how much time you will be able to spend caring for the plants, how much light your house offers, and also how much money you want to spend on your indoor garden. If you are on a low budget, start with seeds or cuttings. If you have a little more money to dish out you can buy a plant that is already grown. Another thing to consider is if you want a plant that can be displayed all year or just for a season. Herb gardens are a good thing for indoor gardening; they are both attractive and edible. They will grow pretty quick and you won’t have to wait a long time to see results. Some popular herbs, especially for cooking, are chives, dill, sage, thyme, and oregano.

When indoor gardening, consider the amount of experience you have before choosing a plant. There are some plants that are stronger and harder to kill and therefore better for a novice gardener. Examples are Fatsia, Cyperus, Scandens, Popular Succulents, Coleus, and Bromeliads.

Some things, such as the basic rules of maintaining plants, are different in indoor gardening that in a regular outdoor setting. Since plants won’t get the sunlight they do outdoors, lighting is essential. You need to know exactly how much light your plants need and pick plants that only need medium to low light, such as ferns or Philodendrons, unless you plan to supply artificial lighting. If you buy a plant already grown, wherever you get it probably has better lighting than your house so you will need to “condition” your plant and gradually reduce the light it receives. Once you get the plant inside, make sure and rotate the plant to encourage upright growth.

Just because you are indoor gardening, don’t think the plants don’t have to have water; they still do. How often you water, once again, depends on what type of plant you have. Make sure the water can drain out of the bottom of the pot and try to use water that is about the same as the temperature of the room. Also pay attention to temperature in your house in order to ensure healthy plants. A 10-15 degree range won’t hurt any plants, but rapid changes could cause damage.

A lot of people stick a fake tree in a corner, dust the leaves off every week, and call it indoor gardening, but indoor gardening has grown into much more than that lately. There are also a lot of people that thinks plants belong and should stay inside, but there are many reasons for starting an indoor garden. For instance, plants don’t only remove carbon dioxide from the air, they also remove many poisonous toxins and pollutants as well. Indoor gardening will result in beautiful decoration in your house as well as cleaner air.

Building your Log Cabin: Working with Flooring and Rafter

2012-06-01T01:41:00.001-07:00

Building your Log Cabin: Working with Flooring and RafterConnectionsGirders are used to support concentrated weight. Sometimes theyappear at the outer edge of the building in pier foundationwork. More often they are at some mid-point of a joist span. Theuse of girders permits joist members to be smaller.In most cases the girders are made up of several2-or-3-inch-thick members supported on piers. Solid memberswould be better but are harder to handle and aren't alwaysreadily available.Each cabin should have only one %-inch thickness of flooring fora starting point. This is sufficient for most cottages. At alater date you may want to add either a composition or finishedhardwood floor. The planks where a composition floor is to belaid should not be wider than 3 inches or may be %-inch plywoodsheets. All flooring should be tongue-and-groove except plywood.The sole is run around the perimeter of the building like thesill, except that it is laid on top of the flooring and joists.A sole should also be placed under each partition. If the studsare placed so that their wide edges are parallel to thepartition length, it will be necessary to cut the 2-by-4-inchsole to the 2-inch width of the stud.The sole helps to transmit loads to the joists, girders, andfoundations. It also serves as a nailing surface for theinterior finish. The studs will be nailed to this surface.Studs are usually 2 by 4 inches thick. They are available inlengths from 4 feet to 20 feet in multiples of 2 feet. They reston the sole and are tied in at the top by a plate. The siding ofyour cottage will be attached to the studs.In the corners of your building use three studs as shown in theillustration. All door or window openings should have two studson each side unless shown otherwise. The corners should bediagonally braced.If you are going to use vertical tongue-and-groove siding as theexterior finish, be sure to use a herringbone bridging system asshown in the sketch. The purpose of this bridging is to stiffenthe structure and to give an intermediate nailing surface forthe vertical siding. Where sheathing is used, it is notnecessary to use bridging. If the exterior finish runshorizontally, sheathing is optional and bridging is notnecessary.Supporting members for your finished roof are called rafters. Inthe case of single-slope roofs, they look and act like floorjoists. A pitched roof has the rafters running from the plate atthe outer edge to the ridge piece. Like the floor joists, theroof rafters have been designed to carry a load of 35 pounds persquare foot and are based on a fiber stress of 900 or over.Most members are 2 by 6 inches. If you live in an area of veryheavy snowfalls, you will want to increase the size of the roofmembers (probably 2 inches in depth. A double plate made of2-by-4-inch material is essential for all the cottages. Thispart of your construction is at the top of the studs, and itforms a support for the roof members. At the corners plates arenotched or butted and spiked together.You will find that over door and window openings something hasbeen added to the plate beam or additional support to take theextra load of the span. When there is a pitched roof on thehouse and the ceiling follows this pitch, be sure to use collarsor crosspieces as shown in the illustration. These should beless than 5 feet on center.Collars keep the pitched roof from pushing out the sides and areusually l-by-6-inch boards. When erecting a pitched roof, nailthe end rafters to the ridge and plate first--this will give youa nailing surface for the other rafters. You can also use one ofthe end rafters as a pattern for notching the rest of therafters.Jack Hudson is a freelance writer forhttp://www.log-cabin-plans-n-kits.com , a site that serves as aresouce for the planning and building of log cabins.

Chicken Coop Guide- Learn to Build Cheap Chicken Coops

For a long time, people who wanted to start a chicken coop had to renovate an old shed or buy a pre-built one. A pre-built coop costs $500 upwards and this does not include the cost of installation. The cost of a pre- built chicken coop with installation is usually over $1000. According to Jim and Ann, who have put together ‘The DIY Chicken Coop Guide’, you can build your own chicken coop for just $100 if you do a little extra work of collecting materials.

The process of making the shed is explained in a manner that it will be easy for anyone to follow. People who don’t necessarily consider themselves the do it yourself type can also follow the step-by-step instructions and if you need support with the process, that is also available.

With the help of the diagrams and schematics you will be able to see how the coop is built. Video library provides you with videos related to chicken coops. You will also be able to pre cut and pre label your wood with the help of the wood cutting diagram shown in the guide.

The material used in the building of these coops is also important because you want to save as much money as possible. The guide shows you how to build the coop from inexpensive materials that can be easily bought from your local hardware store.

Also, special consideration has been given to keep the chickens safe from predators. The shed is raised from the ground level to provide protection and another benefit of this is that they will not be affected by the cold damp soil.

You can also give the shed your own touch by customizing and you can also scale the plans to accommodate more chicken if required.

Who else has an interest in Electric Cars?

2012-03-23T08:32:00.010-07:00

An electric car uses a number of electric motors to propel it. In this group of cars there are three types of that are available; the first category which is directly powered from an external power source, secondly those powered by stored electricity and thirdly those that are powered by an electrical generator fitted with the car like the hybrid electric vehicle or the hydrogen fuel cell. The first came into use in the nineteenth century due to the preference of electricity methods for motor cars driving force which was able to provide comfort and easier to operate that could not be attainable when using gasoline cars of that day.

Opting for an electric car is a wiser and more eco-friendly option than the conventional cars as they are less polluting and more efficient. Gas guzzling automotive may soon be a thing of the past as these electric cars are fast gaining popularity due to their multiple benefits for the users.

With rising fuel prices and peak oil concerns, the vast majority of drivers would prefer an electric car if all things were equal (price, maintenance costs, performance). Encouraging the growth of the consumer electric car industry falls into two categories: technology and government incentive. Another possibility to increase growth is to encourage consumers to use of quote comparison sites to get affordable rates for car insurance.

The transformation of the auto industry is upon us. And it will become even more apparent in 2012 when large auto makers start mass producing electric cars. Forecasting the success of electric cars, we would have to predict that electric cars will gradually dominate the market. Let's face it, oil is a limited resource and Americans will have to find an alternative source to power up their SUV's. In fact, 5 years from now this question will seem silly, as projections indicate as many as 5.2 million electric vehicles will be sold globally by 2017. How will this affect businesses? Car insurance? Job Creation? Only time will tell. But in the meantime, let us indulge with the best electric cars to hit the market in 2012. Read on to find out.

Believe it or not, the first Porsche electric car was created in 1900. It was a collaboration between Porsche and Lohner, two unknown car engineers who gained international acclaim because of their accomplishments. Porsche also went on to create the world's first gas/electric hybrid.

BMW has long been a leader when it comes to producing high-quality, technologically advanced cars, so it is no wonder that BMW owners have been waiting (sometimes rather impatiently) for a BMW electric car. BMW has researched electric cars for decades, but, like other companies, never made any real strides in the area because of all the politics around the gasoline/electric debate.

I am a capitalist that believes that the free market can solve any issue better than all the governments combined. Not because I think or hope that is the case, but because it evidently is. The more politicians get involved, the worse the outcome for us economically and socially. I also don't buy into the whole global warming crap that Al Gore and other politicians love pushing as "fact" when in reality the facts reveal their gross misinterpretation of the whole phenomenon and almost no evidence that humans are responsible for any global increase in temperature. I think the push for cleaner energy often has good intentions (even occasionally by politicians), but their reasons are all wrong.Read More!

Build Your Own Electric Car

Are you picturing a glorified golf cart in your mind right now?

You could not be further from the truth! These are regular production vehicles from Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, etc., that travel at least 55 MPH and still have all the creature comforts you would expect.
In fact, except for being a lot quieter – and the lack of an exhaust pipe - most people won't even know that you're driving an electric vehicle.

Think you have to be an auto mechanic to do this?

Let me confess something to you: I've never been mechanically inclined. Heck, I nearly flunked out of auto mechanics class in high school. But for some reason, electricity is much easier for me to understand and we've heard from many readers who feel the same way.
When we started the quest to convert our first vehicle, we did not have any type of manual or book to assist us. We just plowed ahead and experimented until we found things that worked. In fact, during our first couple of conversions, we made a ton of mistakes that required starting over.
That's why we want to pass on our knowledge to you – so you don't have to make the same mistakes we did.

Herbal Life - Is it a Scam?

2012-02-17T10:17:00.009-08:00

"Lose weight now, ask me how" was the familiar slogan you may have seen around town in years past. What you may not have known was that this catchy phrase was really advertising Herbal Life products. The company has survived litigation and the tragic death of its founder Mark Hughes in 2000, twenty years after he started it. Since then, the business has recovered and continues to grow worldwide under new leadership. That it continues is a testimony to the resilience of those involved in the company and the ever expanding global opportunities that weight loss industry offers; Americans alone are estimated to spend $50 billion a year on shedding pounds, and the forecast is for continued growth.

Yet for all its ability to rebound and expand, this company still has its share of doubters. Obviously it is not a complete scam, or it would not exist today. But its marketing tactics have led to past and present legal action for misrepresentation and other unethical practices up the line. On the other hand, there are more legal protections in place because of the company's missteps, and it could be that they have learned from the error of their ways.

Here's what the business looks like currently. The compensation for these distributors follows the stair-step breakaway plan. According to the company website, the percentage of distributors that become supervisors is about 25 percent. These supervisors earned an average of $549 in the year 2006 on top of their profits from selling the products themselves. But how much do people typically earn selling the products as distributors? That information is not as easy to find. It seems that more than 90% of distributors leave the business in the first year. Also, supervisors must make an investment of several thousand dollars to attain that rank, which the average supervisor will not recover with $549 in income from the distributors under them. So they too would need to sell the products just to break even. The starting discount for the products is 25%, which would be your commission if you sell them at full price. The more you sell, and/or the higher your rank, the greater your discount.

But how much a distributor can earn is not always clear and reportedly subject to change. In at least one of the lawsuits against the company, distributors alleged that the company reduced the amount they would pay them without clear reasons. They complained that the company was showing favoritism and misleading them as to how much they could earn. Such complaints are not uncommon.

The lesson seems to be that Herbal Life has learned how to be one of the most resilient companies around. Throughout its 28-year history there have been numerous complaints about it misrepresenting itself to draw people to join the sales team. The ways the company markets its opportunity seem to be more transparent than before, but complaints about distributors and investors being misled have not slowed significantly. Thus it seems to still be a company on ethically shaky ground. Anyone about to join the team should be cautious, try to get clear written agreements, and be prepared to take legal action if promises are broken.

3 Tips to help Decrease Bleeding during Menstrual Cycle

2012-02-17T10:17:00.007-08:00

Copyright (c) 2008 Hope Pope

Every month, many women suffer with heavy bleeding from their monthly menstrual period. Sometimes the heavy bleeding can be because of fibroids. Although fibroids are quite common, many times, the doctors won't remove them. The consequence is that many women will suffer each month with excessive bleeding.

Heavy bleeding can be somewhat manageable when a woman doesn't have any children but adding children to the equation makes it even more difficult to deal with this each month. Every bit of energy is needed to take care of the kids and dealing with heavy bleeding is something every woman can do without.

Here are 3 tips that can help slow down heavy bleeding and also give women more energy when they need it most.

The first tip is to cut back on sugar. If sugar is cut out completely ... at least during the first few days of the period... This should slow down the menstrual period bleeding and not remove so much energy from the body.

The second tip is to exercise. Exercise seems to slow down excessive bleeding... plus, it will increase oxygen to the brain and provide the body with more energy. The problem with this is that when kids are involved, there is not much time to exercise... therefore, the third tip might be the most desirable.

Tip number three is to drink raw apple cider vinegar. This is a solution that is proven to work to slow down the bleeding associated with menstrual cycles. It is especially great when a woman has to be out in public and it is her 2nd or 3rd day of her period... when most women bleed the most... and she just doesn't want to be embarrassed by being in the bathroom the whole time.

Add one tablespoon of vinegar to about 16 to 20 ounces of water and drink it throughout the day. If the bleeding is extra heavy, drink two glasses of water with 1 tablespoon of raw (must be "raw". Braggs raw apple cider vinegar is awesome) apple cider vinegar a day.

Some people can't stomach the taste of the vinegar, so instead, put it in a glass of apple juice (preferably sugar-free) or grape juice and drink it that way... to hide the strong taste.

The amount of pads or tampons should increase a great deal after driking the vinegar for only one or two days... and it is not uncommon to go through only a pad or two after the 3rd day of the period. When vinegar is first used, don't be surprised if more clots are discharged as the body might experience some detoxification. This is normal. This is a good thing as it is cleaning things out... detoxifying the system.

An added bonus? Taking apple cider vinegar on a daily basis is proven to increase ones energy.

10 Top Compound Exercises to Blast Fat and Build Lean Muscle

2012-02-17T10:17:00.005-08:00

Years ago I found myself weighing 250 pounds, constantly squeezing rolls of fat on my stomach, and just all around unhappy with myself in the mirror. Personally, I know what it feels like to suck your stomach in and wonder what it would be like to be shredded. Now, my job as a fat loss and fitness expert allows me to use my empathy and knowledge to train numerous clients and help them achieve unbelievable success in reaching their target body in my boot camps. It takes a lot of work and a lot of training. It has been proven again and again, the best training program for fat loss and lean muscle gain activates as many muscle groups of the total body in the shortest amount of time. While interval training is hands down the best protocol to use during an exercise session to build muscle and lose fat, compound movements efficiently provide total body workouts and give you an amazing boom for your buck in a single exercise.

Compound movements or combination lifts combine two or more movements performed uninterrupted and in succession into one exercise. For example, take two familiar exercises. The squat, which is notorious for its fat blasting and lean muscle packing effects. Now throw in an overhead press and the squat/press compound includes even more of your total body and becomes downright merciless. Simply put, compound movements explosively burn fat and build lean muscle because they activate more muscle in a shorter amount of time. Prioritize your personal workouts with compound movements like these instead of single joint exercises to supposedly "isolate a muscle" and your good to go. Remember this Power Body Reaction:

↑Muscles Involved�"(↑Calories Burnt + ↑Muscle-Building Stimulus )�"↑Fat Lost + ↑Muscle Gain

Confession time. I have a love-hate relationship with exercises like this. Love because of the ridiculous results they provide for fat loss, muscle building, and conditioning. Hate because they turn on that voice in my head saying, "Do you really need to do this?" and wondering whether I'm laying in a pool of sweat or tears every time.

By now your saying "Get on with it. I'm sold. What are these crazy exercises I need to be doing right now!?" Let's lift veil of suspense. Here is my official top 10 list of favorite exercises in the world for fat loss and lean muscle gain (in no particular order):

Exercise 1 - Power Clean + Thruster Combo - Kettlebells, Dumbbells, Bands, or Sandbags

Exercise 2 - The Swing - Kettlebells, Dumbbells, Med Balls, or Sandbags

Exercise 3 - Alternating Lunge + Curl to Press

Exercise 4 - Mountain Climber Push-ups - Valslide or Bodyweight

Exercise 5 - Woodchopper - Dumbbells, Kettlebells, Med Balls, Bands, or Sandbags

Exercise 6 - Kettlebell or Dumbbell Snatches

Exercise 7 - Turkish Get-Up + One-Arm Dumbbell Chest Press

Exercise 8 - Burpee with Overhead Press

Exercise 9 - Med Ball Snatch-Slam Combo

Exercise 10 - Single-Leg RDL + Row - Kettlebell or Dumbbell

Use my advice jack up your training by introducing these 10 powerful compound exercises we use in my boot camps to work the total body. You are guaranteed better results in less time by consistently employing these movements into your workouts. Of course it's ultimately up to you to do what it takes to take your training and your body to the next level!
