The goal of any training program is progress, simply
you want to be better tomorrow than you were today. All the hard work and effort that you put into your training each and every day, can be wasted if you are not constantly improving yourself in some way. So what is progress and how can you ensure you are making it. Well progress comes in many different forms and is not something than can be easily defined by just one set of criteria.
Well… It is that time of the year again; Graduation Season
and with Graduations upon us it is a perfect time for a bit of reflection and anticipation for what the future holds! If you were to give one piece of advice to a new Graduate, what would it be? Well… Mine simply would be to always remain True to yourself and your ideals, to never let anybody tell you how you should live your life, and that the biggest mistake you will ever make is to not follow your Dreams!
This last weekend was my sister Ashley’s graduation from College and as I sat in the stands of the Stadium I had been at hundreds of times before, I couldn’t help but reflect on all the experiences, but I also had an overwhelming feeling that something was different!...
In Fitness just as in Life there are a lot of trends
that come and go, but certain things will always hold true and one thing that will NEVER change is that things that are worth having or doing are not easy, nor should they be! It is often times these difficult tasks that many people stay far away from and because of this they never realize their full potential or the amazing feeling of absolute accomplishment! Remember without Rain, there would never be a Rainbow…
I remember it like it was yesterday, standing there looking up and thinking to myself that it was A LONG way! What if I fell? What if people saw me struggle? What if I couldn’t make it? These are all questions that go through your mind when you prepare yourself for a set of Hill Sprints, but there is one question that trumps all of the others…
“The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins With a Single Step”
This is one of my favorite quotes that I always make an effort to share with others as well as strive to live my life by! Spoken by the ancient Chinese Philosopher Lao-Tzu, it is still very relevant today! Often times we see things as too great or out of reach and that is exactly what they are and will be when focused on as a whole, but when you break them down into smaller steps, you quickly come to realize that before you know it, you climbed a Mountain!
Hello all! Hope your weekend was great!
For my weekend I decided to rest and recover. I bought an Icy Hot therapy pain relief stick and cold and hot medicated patches to help out with my muscle strain in my back.
Monday, I was still feeling the pain when twisting, bending or standing for a long period of time (at work) but still decided to hit the gym. Instead of doing the intense routine I found in the magazine I decided to do a basic circuit training routine at about 50-70% of my max with higher repetitions (20-25) and only resting a few seconds in order to have energy to get through the sets.
Workout routine included: (A good stretching series before starting) One-leg Leg Press, One-leg Calf presses, Deep Squats, Standing behind the head shoulder press, front bar raises, Dumbbell flies, Dumbbell Press, Hammer Curls, Dumbbell Curls, Cable Rows, Bent over dumbbell lateral raise, Rope pull-downs, Tricep extensions, Ab work with the medicine ball.
One of the best aspects of the new Men’s Physique Division and the overall trend lately in Fitness is that you are actually rewarded for living and maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle! It is a HUGE accomplishment to Train your butt off (literally) for a Show or Competition, but to actually begin to LIVE the Fitness Lifestyle… Now that is where the real rewards are…
