I see this at every gym I go to. People incline waking on a treadmill at 7-10% for 45 minutes holding into the handle bars not getting the results they want. Try setting the incline at 15% and clasping your hands behind your back. I bet 15-20 mins kicks your ass. “If something feels comfortable, you are doing it wrong” […]
Having a hard time building lean muscle? Consume liquid carbs around your training session. I consume 1/4 of my body weight in liquid carbs pre workout and then again post workout along with whey protein and 5 grams of creatine. Why liquid? They absorb faster and easier into the body. Eating food before a workout is never a good idea. […]
When doing pressing movements such as for chest, shoulders, legs etc. Do not lock out at the top of the rep. When you lockout on a dumbell press, shoulder press, hammer strength press, you take the stress off of the muscle and place it on the elbow. Same principle for things like leg press.

Do your cardio if you do cardio before your lift. Keep it short but intense. 12-15 mins max. It will serve as a warm up and get you sweating and ready to roll into your lift at full speed. Almost all of us take the exact same amount of time getting the body warmed up and loose when we lift. […]

Calling it luck is an inferior minds way of rationalizing the fact that they did not have the mental strength and intestinal fortitude to try, endure and finish. Success, however you define it is not a product of luck. I won’t even simplify that it’s a product of hard work. Any fool can work hard. It is more about the […]
Troubling growing your forearms? Screw all the wrist curls. Try this simple grueling move and feel a pump that will make them explode. Drape a towel over a chinup bar. Grab it and hang arms fully extended. Feet off the ground. Try 3 sets of just 60 seconds each holding your bodyweight. It is no joke!!
The first step in becoming successful is understanding the how and why we define success. Success and achievement are not synonymous… Far too often success is classified as an end state.As a finality, something conquered, attained and or owned.This is primarily because ones goals set them on a path with a singular focus on achievement and if reached we mistakenly […]
