Corrugated metal roofing is a rippled metal sheet used for roofing. It is not actually used in residential apartments; corrugated metal is more likely to be used in agricultural industry. It can be seen on the buildings like barns and industrial buildings. The major disadvantage of the corrugated metal roofing was that it rusted but galvanized corrugated metal does not rust. Galvanized metal is produced when a metal undergoes a chemical process to prevent it from corroding. The metal actually produced is treated chemically with an element known as zinc. The metal is mixed with liquid zinc which results in the fabrication of a coat over original metal. Zinc coating is used for this purpose because it wraps the metal and becomes the part of it. After the metal is coated, a layered structure is formed. Upper most layer is zinc, in the middle layer is metal and zinc and in the inner layer is the metal itself. This method is applied to prevent the rust from penetrating deep into the metal. Since a roof is a very important part of a building, rust can damage it to any extent like leakage, cracking of the metal and even breakage can be caused by the rusting. Hence using galvanized corrugated metal roofing is wise choice.

Basic Installation Galvanized corrugated metal roof consists of metal sheets, which are coated in zinc. These sheets are fitted over the wooden roof. The overlapping of the metal sheets is decided by the pitch of the wooden roof.

Some Benefits of Galvanized Corrugated Metal Roofing

There are numerous advantages of the galvanized corrugated metal roofs.

Toughness of the material

The first one is that they are extremely tough and durable provided the fact that rust cannot eat them up. The expect life of a galvanized corrugated metal roof is approximately fifty years and even more.

Light Weight material

Another advantage of the galvanized corrugated metal roofing is that it does not have much weight. With this quality they do not put much stress on the underlying materials and walls and ultimately their life is also increased.

Reusability of the Metal

Another advantage of the galvanized corrugated metal roofing is that the material used in the manufacturing is completely reusable; therefore galvanized corrugated metal roofing is also environment friendly.

Non-Combustible Material

Galvanized corrugated metal roofing is also a fire resistant material; this fact makes it appropriate for the people who have their buildings near flammable materials.

weather proof

Galvanized corrugated metal roofing is also suitable for the extreme weather conditions like rain, heat, snow, hailstorm and even hurricanes as it have the ability of contraction and relaxation with heat.

Cost Effective Solution

Galvanized corrugated metal roofing also help you in reducing your air conditioning expenditures as it partially reflects sunlight from your roof which results in producing less heat inside of your building. Eventually you save some money from your air conditioning expenses.

Lets take a look at the typical year for a wrestler. During the off-season, the wrestler is in the gym lifting weights. The workouts are intense. The wrestler eats normally, sustaining muscle, and adding strength to their body. The wrestler might compete occasionally in a tournament or go to a wrestling camp. The wrestler is learning more moves, and skills, along with improved strength. All is good. Things look great for the upcoming season!

Then the season arrives. The wrestler decides to cut 15-20 lbs. to move to a lower weight class, where they will be big, strong, and ready for any competition. The wrestler eats very little, runs a lot (even with plastic suits on), spits, uses saunas, etc. to make weight. The wrestler makes weight. The wrestler has a good season, making weight each week, and binging after each match.

BUT THE WRESTLER COMES UP SHORT OF THEIR POTENTIAL!

The wrestler doesnt understand. He practices hard, really hard! He dropped two weight classes, and makes weight each week. He drills after practice, and works as hard or harder than anyone else in the mat room. He doesnt strength train during the season because he practices so much, and doesnt have the time or energy to work out. Besides, all that hard work in the weight room during the off-season has made him really strong!

Or did it?

If you are cutting weight for wrestling, and want to be the best your potential will allow, make sure you:

1. Keep Up Your Strength Training

During the off-season you want to work to gain as much strength as possible. I recommend training 3 times each week in the weight room, working the muscles that are used for wrestling. Be consistent and document your progress. Always strive to add a little more weight or repetitions. During the wrestling season, YOU HAVE TO STRENGTH TRAIN! You will not keep strength gained during the off-season if you neglect training during the season. If you are cutting weight, it is even more important to keep up your strength training. If you are cutting weight, practicing, and wrestling in dual meets and tournaments, your body is using its own muscle for food. You can prevent some of this by getting in a full body strength training workout every 4-5 days.

2. Eat More Frequently

Dont starve your body to make weight! If you starve your body, you are slowing your metabolism down. Metabolism is the rate at which your body burns calories. A calorie is a unit of energy. By starving, you will cause a rebound effect, and have even more trouble making weight next season. The answer lies in trying to lose fat, not muscle and water. You do this by eating more frequently. Four smaller meals each day will allow you to lose body fat while sparing muscle, give you energy to wrestle hard, and be strong the entire match.

3. Give Your body The Correct Amount of Calories

To find out how many calories your body needs to keep up muscle while cutting weight, take your current body weight, and multiply times 13. This is the minimum number of calories you need to consume each day.

4. Eat a 40-30-30 Ratio

Now that you know how many calories you need to cut weight and still keep your muscle and strength that youve built up, you need to eat the proper ratio of protein, carbohydrates and fats. 40% of your calories should come from lean proteins (egg whites, turkey, lean beef, whey protein powder, skinless chicken). 30% of your daily calories should come from complex carbohydrates (multi grain bread, baked potato, sweet potato, brown rice, oatmeal), and 30% of your calories should come from unsaturated fats (olive oil, nuts). Usually you dont have to figure in the fats other than a tiny bit of oil on a salad, because the meats that you consume will have a small percentage of fat that will suffice for the day.

5. Dont Jog excessively If Your Goal Is To Make Weight

Nothing is more grueling than a tough high school or college wrestling practice. You shouldnt get in the habit of jogging for miles, and miles each week in order to lose weight. First of all, it will not give you the endurance for wrestling like good old-fashioned live wrestling in practice will. If you try to lose weight by jogging, you will start eating the muscle off of your body. Aerobic activity is NOT an efficient means of losing fat. A controlled meal plan is the answer.

6. Dont Dehydrate

In order to wrestle at your best, and have your body working efficiently, you need to have all of the body systems working optimally. Each of your body systems requires water. If you have to lose a couple of pounds to make weight after you have followed the above tips, then you will restrict your water intake. Restricting water intake is not the same as not drinking water at all though. You still need to give yourself 3-4 ounces of water every 3 hours on days that you are trying to make weight. Remember, this is to keep up your strength. You need to plan well in order to do this right. Dont weight until two days before, and get drastic in your weight loss system.

7. Stay Away From Sugar

Wrestlers who cut weight by eating very little and doing excessive jogging tend to get sugar cravings. Sugar has no place in your wresting meal plan. The only time my clients consume sugar is immediately following an intense strength training session. If you are within 3 or 4 lbs. of your weight class, you might want to consume 60 grams or so of high glycemic carbohydrates (sugar) on the form of grape juice or apple juice within 20 minutes of your strength training session. This replenishes the bodys glycogen stores and helps with recuperation. In general, stay away from sugars. They have no long-term positive effects on your energy. They are much more likely to be converted and stored as fat.

Much hype surrounds trendy workout machines, as seen in infomercials. There are so many to pick from, and while the various systems offer different exercises, they all promise the same thing: the body you've always wanted, as well as an overall improved lifestyle.

There's a hurdle to climb, however: some systems may not be practical for the way an individual wants to work out.

Nautilus has been producing Bowflex systems for about 20 years as of this writing, and these systems are extremely popular. They are not cheap, though, so be prepared to part with considerable cash when buying a new machine. While the company has a trial period and will refund your money if you're not satisfied, they won't refund the shipping charges, which can be immense for products the size of exercise machines. So, it can be helpful to try out the product you're interested in, if possible, before buying it.

Is there any merit to a home workout machine? Only if used as directed, as often as specified, and stuck to as a habit. That is what most consumers just won't do. One reason could be that the exercise is never enjoyable or convenient enough to become a likely habit. Another could be laziness. Yet another could be that the equipment is so large and cumbersome that it takes up too much living space, creating resentment, and would actually get more use if the person were to go to the gym to use it.

Bowflex has a system that mimics traditional weights through the use of various discs with built-in tension coils, as opposed to bars. When purchased new, this system, the Bowflex Revolution home gym, comes with 220 pounds of discs and is capable of around 100 exercises. How many people will actually take advantage of all 100? Probably very few. Most will probably do the basics: bench, leg extensions, curls, etc. It can definitely do some good, although there is no real sense of weight balance because everything works through two pulleys. The Bowflex Revolution works off resistance, so it's not as specific a workout as you would get from free weights, or a machine with a fixed bar.

Revolution is also not meant for tall people. Those over 6' will very likely find it to be too small. There just won't be quite enough extension to do proper leg presses, for example.

There are pros and cons to any equipment, and no product is entirely perfect. The Ab Lounge for example is highly coveted for what it can do for abdominal strengthening, but some people find it to be so comfortable that they end up using it as a chair to watch television from instead of working out. It's good that it's comfortable -- that's the whole point, to make it comfortable to do crunches -- but that comfort may signal to some that they need to kick back instead of work out. So, it's impossible for every machine to be a winner for every person.

The bottom line: do your homework and take opportunities to try out equipment before you buy it. You know yourself better than the infomercial writers do, so do what is best for you and will serve your ultimate fitness goals.

Playing better golf is the lifelong pursuit of every golfer on the planet. Why else would we subject ourselves to one of the most humbling games (sport) ever?

I mean, how many times have you come off the course ready to give it up?

Im dead serious!

You drive home saying never again! Butyou go to the range the next day, or even the same day, after youve cooled down.

man, what a glutton for punishment! Just hours before, you got totally humiliated, and now youre back for more.

The vicious cycle a golfer goes through every season.

So let me guess. Youve bought equipment (lots of it). Taken lessons. And pound hundreds of balls every week.

Am I close?

The 6 million dollar question ishave you gotten better? Are you happy with your game? Are you driving it as far as youd like?

If not, what now?

Theres only one thing left.

YOU!

Youre body is keeping you from the game of your dreams. The game you know youre capable of playing. Doesnt that make sense? If youve tried all the above and still are not satisfied.

Heres what you have to doimmediately!

Diagnose your limitations. Is it strength? Is it flexibility? Or how about stamina? You know its a strength issue, if your swing mechanics are good, but youre not hitting the ball any amount of distance.

Its a flexibility issue if you if you cant perform consistent swings with proper mechanics. And its obviously a stamina issue if your back nine is worse than your front nine.

Once you come up with your personal limitations, youve got to set up a program, or search one out that will get you on the right track and not hurt your game.

Working on your limitations will get you the quickest results, in the shortest amount of time. Youll be amazed at how much better your swing is and how much farther youre hitting the ball.

Your golf will become enjoyable again, and youll wonder why you didnt take this approach years ago.

Remember, its NEVER too late to start!

NEVER!

So get to it right now!
