No excuses just haven’t posted in a long while.
A lot of new releases I was checking out on the workout and diet front and I’ will give a few quick reviews here today. Also I will describe a “compound” “Chain” exercise, which ever one you feel comfortable calling it. I like multi joint full body, but I’ll get to that later.
Diet arena – After doing HCG I wanted to continue losing fat maintaining, even gaining muscle. Well Tom Venuto has a program that will do just that --- “The Holy Grail” appropriate name. It is not hard to follow and in a strange way sort of has cheat days built in [see previous post for more info] Click here to check The Holy Grail out
If you have a lot of fat to lose 1st, then try Tom’s “Burn the Fat”, which is more geared to those people, pluse you will keep your hard earned muscle! “Click Here for Burn The Fat”
On the workout side there are 2 that I found very exciting.
One was Nick Nilsson’s “Mad Scientist Muscle” which I also discussed in detail on a previous post. It is a scientific based, zero guess work, time efficient program, that comes withs months of workouts!
The second one is “Tacfit Kettlebell Spetsnaz” by Scott Sonnon. If you are bored with your current kettlebell routine and want some variety this is for you. The plan has several new exercises and progressively works you on escalating levels to mastering them. You can not only use the workouts provided but once you have reached the highest rank, you can implement these exercises anyway you chose, another great program.
Believe me I get a lot of these, I don’t write about the bad ones only the ones I use or will use!
There are a few in the future I cant wait for, one being Gregg Gillies “Awesome Abs”…keep your eye out here for its release date.
Recently I was asked what my guilty pleasure is at the moment, or what exercise out of the normal am I doing. “Out of the normal” I guess depends on the crowd, but what I have been doing is this, sandbag clean, zercher squat [or lunge], then press, repeat. I like the sandbag, for several reasons, two of which are it sits, cradles, in my arms for the squat nicely and every time you pick it up the weight seems to shift changing the exercise ever so slightly. This is a great exercise for someone with time constraints. Set up a 15 minutes block, set the bag at a weight in which you can normally do @ 6 – 8 reps, start your timer do 3 reps, rest 10 seconds. Keep the rest interval at 10 seconds until you start to feel you can not get 3 reps, then up it to 20 seconds, then 30 seconds, then 40….and so on. Remember to log this in your journal, because I know we all use a journal, and next time perform 10% more reps next session!
