Six-Pack Abs Training…Hanging Knee Raises for Upper Abs


Tweet

Who doesn’t want six-pack abs? Not many people that I know…and when you think of working the upper abs to get those six-pack abs, the first thing that pops into your head is probably crunches, right?

Well, crunches are an ok exercise…unfortunately, they don’t provide a whole lot of resistance, which means you won’t get maximum abdominal development (among other issues…repeated flexion of the spine has it’s problems).

That’s where this exercise comes in…it’s a hanging knee raise type of movement only without involving the lower abs (other than isometrically). I’ll explain as I show you the exercise.

Range of Motion Triple Add Sets with Chin-Ups…Hit ALL the Muscle Fibers in Your Back in One Extended Set


Tweet

The Chin-Up is a classic back exercise…one of the best overall exercises you can do for ANY bodypart. I’ve got an amazing technique that’s going to help you squeeze even MORE results out your chin-up training, targeting each of the three major fiber types in one extended set for maximum results.
I call this technique a Range of Motion Triple Add Set.

Barbell Weighted Chin-Ups for Adding Resistance to Your Bodyweight Back Training


Tweet

Need some extra resistance for your Chin-Ups? This is a unique way to do it that adds a balance component and requires hamstring strength, making the exercise more of a total-body type of exercise.

Resting Goblet Squats for Targeted Oblique and Leg Work


Tweet

The Dumbell Goblet Squat is an excellent leg, core and even upper body exercise. To perform that exercise, you simply hold a single dumbell in a vertical position with your hands cradled under the plates, like you’re holding a big goblet in your hands. You hold that at chest level then you squat.

This version of the Goblet Squat adds a small twist to the exercise…literally.

Death By Prowler!


Tweet

I use the Prowler with tac teams I have worked with on their performance/fitness, myself, and various athletes from all walks, and nothing comes close as both a conditioning tool and a whole body strength tool.

It is without equal as a single piece of equipment one can own that covers the full spectrum of fitness. Vast majority use it as a GPP/conditioning tool, and it’s great for that. Very few use it as a true strength/power builder, and that’s a mistake. Pile some serious weight on it, and it’s killer for strength/power developer. I have posted many Prowler related vids here in the past. Just came back from the gym where I did an all Prowler leg workout with my buddy Big Lee Rosenberg. Death by Prowler!

Perpendicular Bar Hanging Leg Raises for Targeted Oblique Training


Tweet

This is a simple twist on the regular hanging leg raise exercise…instead of hanging from the bar facing forward, you will instead turn 90 degree so that your body is perpendicular to the bar, then you’ll do hanging leg raises.

How is this different, you might ask?

Barbell-Bench Transition Planks for Core Strength, Dynamic Stability…and a Tighter, Flatter Stomach!


Tweet

If you’re interested in flatter abs and a stronger core, the plank is one of the key exercises you should be doing. Once the normal abdominal plank gets too easy, you’ve got a variety of options to make it more challenging, more interesting and more effective. This is one of those options!

This is nice variation of the plank that involves dynamic transitions between two different plank positions…forearm and straight arm planks. The benefit lies in the moment of transition between the two positions.

Near-Maximal Interval Training For FAST Fat Loss


Tweet

When I do cardio I want to get the greatest fat-burning effect in the shortest amount of time possible and get it over with fast. I want to burn a TON of calories and get the greatest “afterburn” for the time I put in.

Essentially, I want to do the most EFFICIENT cardio I possibly can.

Exercise Mimetics & Mitochondrial Boosters


Tweet

Mitochondria are the ‘energy powerhouse of the cell’ that convert the foods we eat to usable energy our body uses to fuel life sustaining reactions within cells, our daily activities and athletic performance 1-4. While energy production capability and muscle performance might seem to be more relevant to sports, it also equally important for achievement and maintenance of health throughout the life span. In this article I will describe how chronological aging affects our mitochondria, its implications and the ins-and-outs of a new type of supplements marketed at “exercise mimetics”.
