The “Game” Bred American Pit Bull Terrier Muscle Building Tips

The best ways to bulk up your Pit Bull

 Pit Bull Muscle Building Tips –  

     Having a Pit Bull or a Dog means that you need to understand that the structure of the animal requires that it has continuous muscle stimulation in order to stay in shape. A pit bull that lives without physical activity is going to become fat and slow, which is going to have serious effects on the health and vitality of the animal.

            In this article we are going to give you some pit bull exercises that you can use to train your dog and keep it strong and healthy.

The treadmill

            If you want to be able to warm up your dog in order for the muscles to get warmed up for the heavy workouts, you can always take your dog for a walk, but the treadmill is an even better solution. The reason for this is that you will provide your dog with plenty of exercise and you can increase the intensity in order to train the dog to walk faster and eventually run in the treadmill. So if you have one at home and you have patience, you can teach your dog to use it without any problems.

Drag weight with harness

            You can purchase a harness for your pit bull and attach tires or weights to it with a rope. Then you can get your dog to run as fast as possible while dragging the weight. This is an excellent exercise for explosiveness, but most importantly you will see that your dogs muscles will have more definition. Make sure that you learn to identify when your dog is getting too tired to continue. These animals tend to work until their exhaustion makes them faint, but this is not healthy either. Make sure that you stop this drill when your dog is to agitated and the breathing is too shallow.

The spring pole

          This is the ultimate exercise machine for the jaws and the neck of the pit bull. You will see a lot of amazing results when you use the spring pole and your pit bull will instinctively know how to use the spring pole to get a great workout. You can build a strong spring pole for you dog with a relatively small investment. You should install the spring pole at a height that your dog can barely reach because this is going to make the animal jump as hard as possible and that is also an important part of the workout.

            You should make sure that your dog is also going to have proper nutrition in order to build bigger muscles. If your dog gets a lot of exercise, but the nutrition is barely enough to maintain the current weight and muscle density, you are never going to see any gains. You have to provide enough nutritional value for the muscles on your dog to grow. Usually this means that you need to use some kind of supplement in order to get the right amount of proteins in order to build stronger muscles.

Allow your dog to rest every other day

The training needs to be one day of high intensity and another of walking slow treadmill warm ups. The reason for this is that the dogs muscles need to rest in order to grow. The muscle growth is not going to happen if there is constant stress and no resting periods are allowed. Always allow your dog to get plenty of sleep and rest. Also avoid exposing your dog to stressful situations that might cause their performance when exercising to be half as strong.

World's Toughest Fighting Breed

What is the World's toughest fighting dog?

Many people seem to think that the two biggest competitors are the Japanese Tosa Inu and APBT better known as the American PitBull Terrier. The fighting dog of Japan is a large and aggressive dog which is surpsingly agile. They lack the stamina the APBT has. The Tosa is known as the sumo wrestler of the dog because dog fighting in Japan is similar to sumo wrestling. They have very similar rules. The Tosa can only fight for 30 minutes while the PitBull can last many hours. The Tosa has been faught under no time limit rules in America against the APBT and had different results. In Japan the Tosa is the lead dog. No dog can match him. But in America it's a whole different story. America's rules has no time limit while the Japanese rules have a 30 minute time limit. We will tell you the results at the end of this post.

Many dogs have been imported and faught against the Japanese Tosa Inu and the APBT and had very little to no success at all. These dogs include: Fighting Dog of Argentina, Perro de Presa Canario, American Bulldog and even two versions of Pakistani dogs, the Gull Terr(Bully Kutta) and the Gull Dong.

There are many recorded fights between Tosa Inu's and other dogs. An owner of a Neapolitan Mastino thought his dog was good enough to beat a Tosa owned by a man in Japan. He was apparently wrong as this fight turned out to be a 1 sided slaughter in favour of the Tosa. The fight was haulted to a stop so that no further harm comes to the Mastino.

There was another incident where an American Bulldog faught a Tosa Inu and was punished to the point that the Bulldog resorted to jumping out of the cage to get away from the Tosa.

The Fila is another big and strong dog. There were 2 incidents of a Fila taking on the Tosa and the Tosa won on both occasions with relative ease.

A young female Tosa Inu once faught to a draw with a male PitBull who was almost her size. 2 other incidents between a Male Tosa and a Male PitBull lead to the victory of the Tosa. One PitBull lost an eye and the other PitBull was severly injured.

In America, the Tosa and PitBull both had mixed results so it was a 50/50 thing. But in Japan it was a 9/10 for the Tosa.

Our experts have come to a conclusion that the World's toughest fighting breed is the Tosa.

How To Train a Dog For Fight

   As we point out repeatedly on previous and subsequent pages of this article: Dogfighting is a cruel practice, and it is a felony in every state of the United States and in many other nations around the world. But this is not just because of the actual fights. The process of raising and training fighting dogs is also cruel and harmful to animals. The specific breeds used in dogfighting are usually American pit bull terriers, Staffordshire bull terriers, American Staffordshire terriers and bulldogs. Due to frequent interbreeding, these dogs are often referred to simply as pit bulls. The animals used in dog fights have specifically been bred over generations to enhance aggressiveness. In fact, an official statement from The Humane Society of the United States said that breeders take advantage of pit bulls’ inherent loyalty to make them more aggressive with outsiders and other dogs [Source: The Humane Society of the United States ].

          Sometimes larger dogs, like Presa Canarios, are used or are crossbred with other fighting dogs. Taking a dog from birth to fully trained for fighting can take two years. The animals are often acquired from a pound, shelter or adoption agency. Top breeders sell puppies from a successful bloodline for more than $1,000 each. Floyd Boudreaux, considered the biggest figure in dogfighting for several years, sold his dogs for up to $10,000 [Source: The Humane Society of the United States].

        These dogs are not allowed to live normal lives. Instead, they spend their time chained in place, training or fighting. They often live in small cages and in filthy conditions. Handlers use extraordinarily heavy chains to hold dogs in place, frequently adding weights to them, all with the purpose of increasing a dog’s upper-body strength. Dogs are kept close to each other, but just out of reach in order to increase their antagonism.

       Professional dogfighters carefully structure training regimens. Food and nutritional intake are meticulously measured. Some trainers give dogs steroid injections and supplements. To build endurance, dogs are forced to run on treadmills and to swim in pools, sometimes for hours. Trainers keep detailed records of their dogs’ exercise and feedings.

       To enhance aggressiveness, the animals are frequently beaten and antagonized. They may also be starved. As part of training, handlers will take cats or rabbits, often stolen, and use these animals as “bait.” These bait animals are tied up while the dog is restrained, or they’re put in a small enclosure with the dog. After training with the bait, the handler unchains the dog and allows him to kill it. Handlers make their dogs tug on hanging objects, like tires, to increase jaw strength. Some handlers file their dogs’ teeth to be as sharp as possible so that maximum damage can be inflicted.

       A “roll,” a dog’s first fight, takes place when the dog is around 15 months of age. This test run between two dogs lasts about 10 minutes and allows handlers to measure each animal's demeanor. A dog that’s deemed a non-prospect may be neglected, abandoned or killed.
