Smith Machine 1-Arm Bentover Rows

This is a great variation of 1-armed rows, if you are looking for something new to add into your training routine. Not many smith machines go all the way to the bottom, for the most part, so if you have one that does give this variation a try, I am sure you’ll like it. Execution…

★Know When to ‘Shut. It. Down.’ and Back Off The Gas

When we go into the gym to begin our training for that day, we all have the mindset of pushing past our previous limits, and taking our intensity up a few notches if possible. With that comes different physical sensations when our muscles/tendons start taking on extra load/intensity. These sensations all must be carefully listened…

Bench Press With Reverse Resistance Bands

Here is a movement that is great to implement into your chest training programs. This allows you to control the negative, and then really explode to the top of the movement and contract the muscle hard! Make sure to really get that deep stretch, and squeeze at the top. Here I’m doing a few sets…

Banded Rack Deadlifts

My Athlete Tony and I training some back tonite. Here I put Tony through some banded rack deadlifts near the end of the workout. This movement almost removes all leg activation, and just focuses on targeting the back muscles (which is what we want at this point). He’s 8weeks out from the ‪#‎npc‬ muscle evolution,…

Banded Barbell Shrugs & Banded Tricep Extensions

Since I am still under recovery restrictions with how much weight I can load-up on pretty much anything (playing safe for another 4-6 weeks at this point), this combo is great if you are training back and arms. Give it a try if you have some bands. You’ll notice the barbell is double-wrapped with some…

Incline Bench Dumbbell Rows

This has got to be one of favorite row variations. Reasons being: You don’t need a ton of weight to stimulate the contraction and achieve a good stretch Total isolation of the lat muscles Great to use if recovering from an injury (which is the case I am currently in) Share

Lee Priest Plate Bicep Curls

It took me some time to find a clip of Lee doing this movement, but here it is. This is a great exercise to finish off training the biceps or something you can super-set an exercise with. You want to make sure to squeeze and contract the bicep at the top of the movement. You…

Aching Knee Fix – Elite FTS® Arctic Sports Balm

I usually don’t like to spout about a product or give a review, but I feel this is one item I need to disclose to everyone, and the experience I have with it. Ever since I started to take my leg training up a new good notches the last couple of years, I can tell…

★Cardio Required To Shed Off Excess Fat? THE TRUTH MY WAY

Ok, after seeing and reading a ton of different opinions out there, I want to give my 0.02 on this topic, is cardio required to shed off fat? Many say to stay away from cardio, and you can get in contest/lean shape without. Well there is a truth to BOTH sides. Let me explain what…
