The Hair Issue...Getting to the Root of the Problem


Most competitors will resort to some form of hair reduction or removal in order to enhance muscle definition. But if this is new territory for you, you may be wondering which method works best for you. Let’s review some popular hair removal methods:

 

 

· Shaving – This is probably the most common form of hair removal since it is cheap and easy to do. However, if you are embarking on this form of hair eradication on your body, you may not be prepared for the possible nicks, ingrown hairs and razor rash you may develop. And unless...

Lagging Bodyparts: Upper Chest

As a competitor in this new Men’s Physique division, bobbychest2we are all trying to figure out what the judges are really looking for. Your guess is as good as mine but one thing I know for sure is that balance and symmetry play a role in their decision. One of the most noticeable things I’ve seen in a lot of competitors, as well as most guys in general, is that their upper chest is underdeveloped relative to the rest of their chest. So to help out those of you that fall into this category here is a workout that I put my PT by Joe (ptbyjoellc.com/) and JamCore Physique Factory (www.facebook.com/pages/The-JamCore-Physique-Factory/218571681502085) through.


As with all my workouts, I do them heavy, fast and intense. If you’re going to do it, you may as well do it right. If you’re content thinking you’re the alpha male in your gym then go ahead and keep doing your thing but if you want to create changes in your physique then it’s time to step it up. The routine is comprised of 4 groups of exercises. They are as follows:

Controlling Your Weight

When we think of the words "controlling your weight" we automatically think of food and exercise. In the fitness business, "controlling one's weight" also refers to the positive (concentric) and negative (eccentric) movements performed during the exercise. So many times, I see people in the gym who could potentially reap so much more out of their exercises if they would simply learn to control their poundage that they are lifting, rather than letting it control them. In order to get maximal results from a movement, it is essential to learn to master the art of breath control and focus on the muscle being worked.  I use the bench press as an example. How we "control our weight" will impact how the muscle is worked with respect to the pectoral muscles, anterior deltoids, triceps, and even the lats.

All Uphill From Here...


In Fitness just as in Life there are a lot of trends218526_1785461881958_1401864789_31773601_5373380_o 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…

Turn Up the Intensity

Hey guys,183496_557716121630_136902790_32374788_5029912_n
Hope all are doing well out there.
So, it’s Wednesday and I wanted to get to you and let you know how things are going with my recent injury situation.


Through the end of last week I kept my workout the same, doing the circuit routine with lighter weight and following that with 20-30mins of cardio. I decided to take the whole weekend off along with Monday since I had a long work day and my body was pretty stressed.


I returned to workout yesterday and my back felt about 90-95%. So I decided to push myself and see how I felt after my workout. I did the same circuit routine but added more weight and switched up my rep range. I did three sets of each exercise (plus a warm-up) at 15-20 reps, 6-8 reps and 10-15 reps.

Professionalism and Nothing Less

I have not been in the industry for a long period of time, Freerunner_behind the scenesbut if I could give one ever lasting piece of advice to aspiring actors/actresses, models, or stunt men/women I would share this statement: Always conduct yourself as a professional business. Your actions, attitude, and character are a representation of your own business, LLC, and or corporation which in essence is your first and last name.   I have heard countless horror stories from photographers, directors, and agents in regards to the bad taste that has been left in their mouth from unprofessional talent. This is a small market when you find your way to the top so you better believe that word spreads quickly.  In the age of technology all it takes is a click of a button or a single ring of the phone to see if you carry a history of professionalism.

Here are a few suggestions that will help you sustain a long standing career in the entertainment industry you are pursuing.
