It's been awhile since my last post, but I have been busy this summer. There are somethings that I have thinking about recently that I thought might be fun to write about. Nothing special, but maybe more of my usually rants and tips for people. Keep in mind that I am person that is here to help not criticize. Most of the time people just don't want to hear the truth so they take it as negative criticism.
- what once worked for you probably won't work again
- the older we get, the more important it is to train....not exercise
-training is a system...not a bunch of exercises listed with sets and reps in a random order followed by your cardio work
- boot camps are dying...once size does not fit all...group exercise is dying...one size does not fit all...people are more screwed up than ever
-bodybuilding is still a method...not physiology
- I have a client who is a former bodybuilder...has never in his life ever performed full body workouts..until now..which is why he pays me
-you probably need help...don't be afraid to ask
- at home workout dvd's were great..then people started to realize that it sucks sweating on your living room floor
- you're still fat because of you...the failure to make a change
- my personal workouts are becoming shorter and more intense...
- crunches still don't do anything...except destroy your posture
- my wife yelled at me at the gym for performing AMRAP in a deadlift finisher...i know how to push her buttons
- your body will not change unless you make it change...
- you on the elliptical...you're still not working very hard
- there is NOT a special supplement shake, NOT a magic pill, there is only one answer...eating quality food, training with consistency following a system, and a constant want to keep getting better. There is no magic product or formula...just the execution of a program, plan, system
- 99% of the protein supplements are the same...the 1% of them work because they are used the way they are supposed to be used..NOT because they are the best
- saw a trainer working the other day with a client...wow people still pay for someone to watch them do "ab" workouts
- saw a gym manager trying to sell people a membership by trying to sell them on how awesome the machines were....club owners still don't get it...it's not about the equipment anymore, but the results you can deliver them
- calorie counting might be one of the worst things someone can do...try learning about quality food first
- low calorie alcoholic beverages are no different that full calorie alcoholic beverages..alcohol is alcohol...the consumption of alcohol elevates your levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) which tells your body to burn fat..considering alcohol affects the central nervous system and how your bodies hormone function is run either way you are screwed...its not about calories, but how your body is affected from the food and drink you consume...my suggestion, drink a dark beer and do some more squats on monday
That's all I have time for today! Hope to be back soon...
