One of the things I like to do with my workouts is continuously change them up to keep the muscles shocked. With any weight lifting program the body will get adjusted to it. One of the many things I will do from time to time is throw on supersets. There are many ways to do this. Here is one example of my arm workout with supersets.
Tri Push Downs (Cable machine) Superset with Rope push downs
Scull Crushers Superset with Close Grip presses...
One of the biggest challenges for anyone looking to Live The Fitness Lifestyle is what to eat? This is also where some of the biggest misconceptions lie, the biggest being that in order for you to get results what you eat can’t be enjoyable! Let me tell you, that couldn’t be further from the truth, in reality your Eating Plan should include a lot of variety and work with your Life and NOT against it! This certainly includes Loving what you Eat and how you Look and Feel because of it!..
Now, I know I normally obviously blog about training, nutrition and things relating to health. But instead of health in terms of those above things, let's remember how healthy it is to maintain important relationships with the ones you love. It's a day like today that reminds us to keep in touch with those closest to us...whether it be through phone, email, text, it doesn't matter.
The window of life can close SO quickly and in the grand scheme of things, things like competing in fitness shows etc are just a part of a great life we are creating. I've got to remind myself a lot of times to make that phone call to a loved one, because you just never know. Life is so unpredictable. Don't have any regrets on the fitness stage or in life...
We are here with recent Class Winner Erik Marra! Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I did my bodybuilding competition in 2004. I decided to do that knowing I would be switching careers from digital animation to the medical field. After my one and only BB’ing show, I loved it. One drawback was that my body will take the “massive” weight gain it needed to contend as a bodybuilder. When I heard MPD was starting up in 2011, I felt it was a blessing. An actual competition built for my physique. I love to train and live the life of a fitness role model. It didn’t occur to me once I got on to the journey asn an MP Competitor, that I’d be making influential impact on people and through social networking.
We are here with Chris Villa…Congrats on a great showing! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division? A lot came in to play when deciding on my decision to compete. One, I love training and the fitness life. Two, I’m very competitive and like to see what key focal point that I lack and need to improve. Three, my good friend IFBB PRO Ryan Hughes made it more convincing for me after a long talk about the fitness industry and direction the new Men’s
Physique Division is taking guys like us towards marketing and promotions.
Can you tell us a little about the Competition you just competed in? Well I just competed in the North Americans. It was a very good experence in Cleveland especially rooming with new IFBB Bobby Ashhurst, my dude Xavisus Gayden and Mikey Mchall. I got to know and meet more new Physique competitors as for the competition itself, I think they did an amazing job with first callouts in the A and B classes and C class was kinda of confusing and all over the place. Just looking forward to feedback from judges soon and see why there was such a big mix of physiques...
There are people on both sides of the fence when it comes to Chiropractic care. The following is the opinion of MP Contributor Tim Staggs...
One of the many things I do for my health on a weekly basis is to visit my chiropractor. Chiropractic care is crucial to good health in my opinion. Chiropractic treatment techniques involves manual therapy, including manipulation of the spine, and other joints. Traditional chiropractic assumes that a vertebral subluxation interferes with the body's innate intelligence. In basic terms if the nerves running down your spine are not working properly due to the spine being out of place your body won’t be functioning at its highest level. Your nervous system is responsible for all your body’s functions. Not only is this important for general health and proper organ function, but making sure you’re building muscle effectively and symmetrically...
