Ok so very common question is how to alleviate chest soreness after a brutal workout. ESP like the one on the website this week. Everyone of you should be foam rolling your chest for 10 minutes post workout.Roll both pecs, then angle body and roll one pec from the outside in, then the other. Keep repeating. Foam rolling not only […]
We don’t do the same workouts every week right? Of course not, the body is designed to be efficient which means everytime you do something you naturally find a way to conserve energy, basically your body decides to cheat. Such as swinging a weight when you curl, using momentum in other lifts etc. Would you do the same type of […]
Focus on effort more than the weight you lift. I’m watching these guys squat in my gym. Fairly strong working up to 365 for 4 reps. However not one of their sets did they chase failure, did they even come close or actually hit physical failure. Saving energy each set in order to perform one final set at 365 to […]
Fitness tip of the day: If you have a weak body part which we all have, particularly a small muscle group such as arms or shoulders try working them on the same day you train a larger muscle group that involves compound movements such as squats or deadlifts. After my 4th shoulder surgery I started adding in a compromised shoulder […]
Vary your grip to place more of an emphasis on the long and short heads of the biceps. Do you lack a Bicep peak or lack thickness to your biceps? Using a narrow and wide grip for example in addition to a neutral grip on straight bar curls will place more of an emphasis on those respective heads to promote […]
Ok here is the deal. Yes some types of training are more efficient for certain goals. Being a distance runner will make it very difficult to build the body of a bikini competitor. Doing crossfit is not as ideal as traditional training for physique goals. HOWEVER, if you enjoy whatever type of training that you do, then do it!! You […]
Do you find yourself constantly hungry? Snacking and sometimes binging? With the thousands of website members I have corresponded with I have found that the majority of people buying into the 6-8 small meals per day protocol are the ones snacking, binging and always hungry. This is actually where the horseshit myth about eating frequent small meals supposedly increasing metabolism […]
Pause and effect squats for true strength. In my opinion this is much more effective than ass to grass squats not to mention safer. Here is why. When people squat ATG they drop the glutes fast at the bottom of the rep creating momentum and bouncing out of the hole. If you are interested in building strength, explosion, muscularity while […]
Be wary of the person or program who tells you to never eat something or always do this. I find it hilarious when people say they do not eat processed foods yet they post pics of their supplements, oatmeal, brown rice, condiments, Greek yogurt etc. There is not one person reading this post who hasn’t consumed something processed in the […]
Well this will upset quite a few of you I am sure. Lol Nutrition tip of the day: White rice is not bad for you. In fact it can be strongly argued white rice is better for you than brown rice. Brown rice is brown because it’s got the bran in it. White rice is just rice with the bran […]
