Newsmaker 2012: Salman Khan

Salman Khan. The name is enough to set the cash registers ringing, it seems. Blockbuster films and sky-rocketing TRPs kept the Dabangg Khan in the news all year round. The notorious Khan has got a blast from his controversial past towards the end of the year, but we think Sallu bhai's gold chase will hardly be affected by the same.

200cr ka tiger
It is almost routine for Salman Khan films to enter the 100-crore club. But his last film, 'Ek Tha Tiger' created history by achieving the magical 200 crore mark! Paired up with ex-flame, katrina Kaif, this Kabir Khan directed film was (surprisingly for a Salman Khan film) appreciated by a large part of critics as well. Releasing on Eid, which is reportedly the actor's lucky day, the film opened to packed houses has made the fastest 100 crore in Bollywood!

Peece maker?
After being shunned by the first wives club of Bollywood of her alleged affair with Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka was spotted at arch rival Salman Khan's house late in the night. The two were snapped by photographers early in the morning when Piggy Chops was being escorted out of the building to her car by Salman. According to a tabloid report, on the same night director Kabir Khan had thrown a success party of 'Ek Tha Tiger' but Salman missed the do. 

Bigg Boss Season 6
Salman returned to the small screen once again with Bigg Boss season 6. But the actor's paycheck was anything but small. He became the highest paid Bollywood star on Indian TV by taking home Rs 3.8 to 4 crore per episode! Salman beat the likes of Aamir Khan (Satyamev Jayate), Amitabh Bachchan (Kaun Banega Crorepati) and Madhuri Dixit (Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa) for the title. His anchor act in the current season of Bigg Boss is also being appreciated by his loyalists.

The Buck never stops!
A local court in Jodhpur on December 10 summoned Salman Khan and four other actors including Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Neelam to appear before February 4 for the framing of charges in the black buck poaching case. Two blackbucks were allegedly poached on October 1-2 in 1998 during the filming of 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'. Trouble doesn't end for Salman here as he has also been summoned in the 2002 hit-and-run case after complainant claims evidence was faked to manipulate the trial. The Dabangg actor might just have to spend his birthday doing rounds of the court.

But all was not lost as the Khan returned with Dabangg 2 directed by brother Arbaaz. Reportedly, the film has already made 60cr and will soon enter the coveted 100 crore club. It’s music also created waves and Kareena Kapoor's first ever item number 'Fevicol Se', topped the chartbusters even before the film released!

Build Muscle In Four Easy Steps

Are you sick and tired of everyone telling you a different way to build muscle? Are you unhappy with how you look in the mirror? Are you frustrated with your slow progress in the gym? Are you ready to learn five simple steps that will teach you how to build muscle safely and effectively?
There is a good chance that you are not maximizing one of these four steps. Your problem and solution lies in correcting these essential steps before you have any chance of building a muscular and lean physique.
Get read to learn how to build muscle in four simple steps, in less time, without any drugs and without bogus supplements.
Step #1
Committ to lifting weights at least three to four times per week. Your goal is to stimulate your muscles with resistance (stress) which results in your muscles growing bigger to avoid the stress from occuring again. Once you go home, let the muscle heal through nutrition and rest, it will grow bigger and you will repeat this process again. Ideally you should hit your muscles once every 72 hours so you could perform 2 upper body workouts per week and 2 lower body workouts per week.
Step #2
Focus on eating at least 5-7x a day with balanced meals from carbohydrates, proteins and fats. If your goal is to build muscle than you should be eating at least 15-18 x your current body weight. Your carbohydrates should equate about 45% of your intake, your proteins should equate about 35% of your intake and your fat should be the remaining 20% of your intake. You should focus on over half of those meals being solid whole food meals and the remainder can be liquid meal replacment shakes.
Step #3
You should focus on stretching at least half the amount that you lift weights. One of the biggest mistkakes I see is people training, training and training with out any stretching. Stretching helps restore normal length to the tissue and if you are constantly training, your muscle tissues will shorten and big to perform weaker and slower and have a higher incidence of injuries. So if you are lifting weights 4 hours in the week, at least an additional 2 hours should be dedicated to stretching. You must counteract the shortening of the muscle tissues that occurs with weights or else you are a injury screaming to happen.
Step #4
Avoid supplements that have not been around for longer than 3 years. I learned this phisophy from an Australian strength coach who recommended not trying any supplement until it has been around at least 3 years to pass the test of time. This will make your life much easier and help you avoid all the marketing hoopla in the latest fitness and bodybuilding magazine. If you follow this rule, you will discover only a small handful of supplements still standing. Here are the ones you should not go with out: a high quality multi-vitamin, fish oil capsules, powdered creatine and a protein powder. These products will cover your nutritional basis for health, healthy body composition, strength and muscle mass.
