Yesterday I put Bodyweight Coach Adam Steer through a tough 24-7 Fat Loss metabolic workout session and then watched the J-E-T-S game with John Romaniello (he is a die-hard fan and I’m trying to convince him not to get so wrapped up in games he can’t control). I was once like that with Cowboys, but there is no benefit to investing so much of your identity into a sports team. It’s not productive.
Mexico Meathead workout in the hotel gym (resort has a good gym): Overhead Press, Pullups, Cable Lateral Raises, Bodyweight Triceps Extension (using smith machine bar), DB shrugs, cable pullover, db curls. Now to breakfastingz with John "Roman" Romaniello and then watching the Jets game with Roman as well. Also sharing workouts with Adam Steer – taking him through some of the 24/7 Fat Loss
That’s my plan. But weather reports suggest it is raining in Cancun. We’ll see in a few hours.Today’s workout: Deadlifts, rack pulls, stability ball planks. That’s it. Now to the airport to flap my wings down to Mexico. Then EPIC battles with Roman Fitness Systems. Today would be a great day for a long kettlebell workout or strongman training outside in Toronto. Really nice Thanksgiving weekend
No training for me today. I will, however, ride my bike across town for a chiropractor appointment and a haircut. Tomorrow I’m going to do a deadlift workout before my flight to Cancun. Heading down to a small fitness conference for a few days before stopping in Las Vegas on the way home for bigger fitness conference. Good times.I’ll be hanging with John Romaniello…and he and I recorded a short
Doing 20 seconds of an exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest is not true Tabata training. It’s just training. Tabata training requires "exhaustive intermittent training consisted of seven to eight sets of 20-s exercise at an intensity of about 170% of VO2max with a 10-s rest between each bout." That’s a quote from the research study. Not many exercises allow you to do that.The original research
I’m back in Toronto for a few days before heading down to Cancun to hang out with Joel Marion and John Romaniello, and then back up to Vegas to hang out with Roman and Bedros.I’m a little disappointed I will miss Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend…plus the weather is really nice. Might be my 2nd favorite time of the year (after Christmas). Oh well, still plenty of good times ahead.Yesterday,
Fighting for honor and respect – announcing the two winners of the Turbulence Training TRX giveaway and an important question for you – http://workoutmanuals.com/fighting-for-respect-and-honor/Today’s workout for me was just okay…it’s an easy week, and so I skipped deadlifts because my hamstrings are still a little sore from last Saturday. Went to Gold’s Gym in Austin this morning and did some
Meathead Monday easy week workout at Gold’s Gym in Austin: DB press, pullups, db triceps, face pulls. Followed by some Meathead Monday Tru Moo chocolate milk.Had Sunday lunch at Guero’s Taco Bar on South Congress in Austin…spending a couple days in Texas this week to warm-up for Mexico next week.Had Sunday dinner with Ryan Deiss and Matt Smith last night at meat kingdom, Fogo de Chao…off to
All the details on how you can win a TRX (and get two sample TRX workouts is at the end of today’s post).But first, a funny Bally story…On Friday morning we packed up ol’ Bally the Dog for another drive, and this time we went over to the home of the architect who is working on my mom’s new house.She’s having him design her new house almost exactly like his…and it’s going to be really cool.I
Please, PLEASE stop rounding your back while doing deadlifts, dumbbell rows, or even picking up weights off the ground. I saw a little old lady doing this in the gym today. It was nice she was trying to deadlift, but not nice watching her fold herself in half with each rep. On a lighter note… Today we went to someone’s house for a quick visit, and we brought ol’
