In today's blog post, I go over why I love incorporating resistance bands, how they work and the different types. I also show you a quick but killer mechanical dropset incorporating one of them!
Muscles can be described as the main part of your body's fat and calorie burning components. Increased muscle mass can lead to a lower body fat, a stronger immune system, improved energy levels, and reduced stress. Not only does increasing your muscle help build strength, stamina, strong bones and joints, but it can also improve long-term health and longevity.
In this video, you get a glimpse of a typical day in my life. From a very early start in the office to late nights on the computer, this is the aspect of being a business owner you don't often see!
And throughout all this, there is plenty of food to be had! Although I'm not as strict on my nutrition as I used to be in my competing days, I still love to fuel myself with quality foods to perform and feel the best I can. Throughout this blog I will explain what my meals are and why I have them!
Today we hit an insane Back Day with Regan Grimes here at the Venice Beach Gold's Gym - The Mecca of Bodybuilding.
One of the most popular exercises to build your booty, the barbell hip thrust! When performed correctly, the hip thrust shows amazing gains and booty results. But when done with incorrect form, you could be just working in vain.In this video I highlight the most popular mistakes for you to avoid so you can strip some of the weight off and zero in on these techniques so you can get the most out of your hip thrust.
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body because it has the highest degree of range of motion. However this can come at the cost of joint stability.
This is a FULL Leg Day workout. Leg days for me are long and exhausting. So today's goal was to get in and get out as fast as I can while still being totally exhausted. Every workout I always involve one super heavy compound lift, so we start off with a heavy 5x5 squat. I want you to almost fail on that 5th rep. The rest of the workout is basically little circuits. We have a Quad focused tri-set and a Hamstring focused tri-set.
Below in the notes I have some alternative exercises you can use. I understand some gyms may not have pieces of equipment I am using and training at a public gym you will not always have the ability to jump around to different machines. So grab a piece or two of equipment and then I will usually bring a set of dumbbells over to the machine to complete the circuit. You can also just split the exercises up. I only do this in a circuit style to save me time and it adds a bit of intensity because you are not taking any breaks in between. Makes the work seem harder.
