No Magic Pill, Just Fitness

It's Monday, international chest day! Good luck finding a bench for that Monday evening pump. Before you start though here's some tips on how to get the most out of that chest and how to maximize its potential. Photo by Raymond Williams Before you do anything you want to warm up your shoulders. Yes. The joints in your shoulders will handle the load so you want to make sure they are properly primed for every contraction. I like to use light dumbbells, 10 to 15 pounds and do lateral and…

Yo bro, I can squat 600 pounds. What up brotein. I killed my pecks today benching 400. Repping it out man. Nice! I'm slaughtering dead lifts today, 800 all day baby! I say to you all.....yeah, yeah, yeah. I challenge you to work out with a woman! That's right. I said it. You think you can kill the weights and kill the reps. I'd bet if you were to work out with a woman who is not into body building but general fitness, you would absolutely be humbled. That's right. Reason being, us men are so…

Power is important for many functions in daily life it's not only met for athletes but for the non-athletic person as well. Now let's get something clear. Power is not to be confused with strength or muscle gains. Yes, power can emulate strength but power is defined as the ability for the muscle to produce maximum output in minimal time.

It is highly unfortunate that our profession is being taken over by fly-by-night jocks and jock-ets who want to use their fit bodies and good looks to hit on clients. It's time to put a stop to that and give you the insight to distinguish the difference.

I will also hit on other professional versus unprofessional trainer behaviors as well. I am completely…

The Best Is yet to Come!

I hope you all had a happy and safe Halloween yesterday. Remember to leave some chocolate for the kids!

This is by no means meant to rag on myself, but I have heard people say many times because of my athletic build that I must love working out. Ha! Here's my documented answer.... When it comes to working out I enjoy three things, the longevity of improved health, the energy, and the long-term results from a good pump. That's it! Why? Ask yourself, who actually enjoys stressing their body to the point of pain? Who enjoys being so sore two days after training that it sucks to walk and do other…

This post is more than just the typical speech about how to eat properly. Our eating habits go much deeper than that. So I will not give you a tongue lashing about why you should eat the right foods. I'm sure you already know! I'll take you back to the time when I was a kid at the dinner table. There was a daunting plate filled with food in front of my face that I broke a sweat finishing. Everything was finished except for those nasty orange rutabagas! My mother would then say "finish your…
