ARE YOU A HARDGAINER?

Are you a "Hardgainer"

Are you someone who has a hard time putting on weight?Does it feel like someone put a "voodoo curse" on your genetics that makes it seem IMPOSSIBLE to put on any muscle? Well guess what......you really ARE "cursed"!I know...that's not what you wanted to hear, right?Well the fact is that your body really IS "different" than someone else who seems to be able to eat Twinkies and still pack on muscle mass.Your muscular system is different...Your hormonal system is different...Even your central nervous system is different.But don't worry...there's hope for you yet!In fact, how would you like to take part in a "mad scientist" experiment designed JUST for skinny "hardgainers"?Here's the deal...A buddy of mine, Jeff Anderson, says that he's finally "cracked the code" on how to transform guys with really sucky genetics and FINALLY help them gain the weight and the muscle they're looking for.Is he right?I don't know...he won't even tell ME what he's uncovered! (It's THAT "hush-hush!)He says that he's developed a completely NEW way to TRAIN...to EAT...and even to SUPPLEMENT...that he's promising will end your "curse" forever!Jeff was so excited about his new program that he doesn't even want to take the next 6-12 months to write it all down.So starting in just a few weeks, Jeff is going to PERSONALLY coach just a small handful of "skinny guys" in his brand new system.In fact, he's calling it an "experiment" that he claims will show the world once and for all that you DON'T have to just "accept" bad genetics.He's calling it......"Hardgainer Project X"!He's already signed up 250 of his own clients to the course and wasn't even going to let me tell YOU about it!But after much begging from a few of his buddies (me included), he's decided to purchase just 50 MORE SEATS to his online coaching course.So basically that means that it's going to be a MAD DASH to grab the last of these seats and take care of Jeff's PERSONAL coaching!So I won't waste any time...If you're the type who feels like your genetics will just NEVER allow you to gain muscle, then this may just be the solution you've been waiting for!

THE PROBLEM WITH WEIGHTLOSS - Lose 10lbs by T Day

The Problem with Weight Loss: Your Body Will Do The Opposite.
By Alwyn Cosgrove
WARP SPEED FATLOSS

Homeostasis is the property of a living organism, that regulates its internal environment so as to maintain a stable, constant condition.

When you don't drink enough water in the short term -- often the body retains water. It attempts to maintain homeostasis by counteracting the stresses we put on it.

When you drink a lot of extra water - your body excretes more water to maintain balance.

When we weight train -- we actually break down muscle tissue. And the body responds by building new muscle. It attempts to maintain homeostasis by doing the reverse of the stimulus we placed on it.

When a male takes supplemental testosterone -- the body shuts down its own production in a bid to maintain homeostasis.


When we immunize children against disease -- we actually inject them with a small dose of that disease. The immune system recognizes the vaccine as foreign, destroys it, and 'remembers' it. When the virulent version of an agent comes along, the immune system is thus prepared to respond. In order to prepare the body to defend against a disease - we expose it to the disease - and it responds by doing the opposite - it destroys the disease.

In almost every situation I can think of, the body tries to maintain homeostasis by "doing the opposite" of the stimulus.

How does this apply to weight loss?

Now we know that while you are doing it -- low intensity exercise burns primarily fat.

Higher intensity exercise actually burns more carb stores than fat.

But in every head to head comparison, high intensity exercise results in more fat loss than low intensity exercise - even though the more intense work may burn a lesser percentage of fat during the exercise session.

Burning glycogen results in a larger amount of fat lost than burning fat directly.

The body responds by "doing the opposite"...

Break down muscle to grow more muscle. Burn glycogen to lose more fat.

I designed Warp Speed Fat Loss training program to specifically take advantage of this ‘law’ of nature so that when your body “does the opposite” you’ll end up with faster and greater fat loss.

OCTOBER UPDATE

So I have been doing the “Advance 7 Minutes Muscle” workout as laid out by Vince Delmonte. It actually took me 2 weeks to fine tune it. Going to the gym by myself, I have to take my safety and making sure I can go from 1 exercise to the next without waiting. So on chest/back day I would use the Hammer Strength plate loaded machines, using the seated row for the power phase then the pull down for the mass phase. The pull down is on the same machine as the incline press, so now I go to the incline press for chest power then decline press for mass. So I have the safety of the machines, and flows from exercise to exercise, the 3 machines are right next to each other. I also decided for legs I will alternate between barbell squats, and kettlebell squats, this helps alleviate neck pain. Once again this reinforces the importance of using a journal, enabling me to go back 2 weeks to check previous workout.. One last thing I have done is purchased a 48kg kettlebell. I can not yet press it overhead and that is why I purchased it, to create a goal, so by 1/1/09 I will press it 5x each side. Try doing that buy something you can not lift or do, keep it out in the open, and tell people about it to create accountability.So I will update as I make progress with this ball.

GREAT PUMPKIN SOUNDTRACK

WorkoutMuse has just realeased a new Halloween themed soundtrack. It includes a 20 minute "Tabata" track which I am excited about.

The 4 rounds I do are as follows 1st -hindu squats, 2nd - hindu push-ups, 3rd - kettlebell swings, 4th - hitting the heavy bag. Get your soundtrack and give it a try [less then $10.00 for 3 tracks plus]

WHY DO PEOPLE FAIL IN THE GYM????

So here's the million-dollar question:

"What's the number one reason people do not work out?"

Is it lack of money? Lack of motivation? Perhaps they lack the ideal workout plan?

Nope. It's TIME. Or rather the lack thereof.

"We know that 50 per cent of the population doesn't [exercise] and the most commonly cited barrier to exercise is lack of time." This quote comes from exercise researcher Martin Gibala, a kinesiology professor at McMaster University in Hamilton.

Gibala put his theory to the test in a study that was published in the Journal of Physiology. In it Gibala compared a group who exercised "traditionally" -- 90 to 120 minutes per day -- with another group exercising far less: Only 20 minutes per day and only three days per week.

That's a whopping one hour per week folks.

Did you know that Jon Benson's "7 Minute Muscle" plan calls for only five 7-minute workouts with resistance training (weights or bodyweight) plus only 9 minutes cardio a few days per week?

And that actually works? Yeah... you bet it does.

If you do the math, that's about an hour per week as well.

This is the "Level 1" workout. There are three levels depending on your goals and exercise tolerance.

Find out more here --

7MINUTE MUSCLE <--- brief is best! Back to Gibala's study: In just two weeks both groups showed improvement in both exercise performance and oxygen uptake. (Remember, fat burns in the presence of oxygen.) The kicker is that both groups were almost identical in their improvement. Why? Because the brief exercise group trained with greater focus and more intensity -- exactly how Jon suggests you train. This is just one of dozens of studies that confirm the benefits of shorter but more intense workouts. However, there is a catch: Train too hard and you will shut down your fat-burning furnace. Your body perceives over-exertion done over an extended period of time as a sign of pursuit. It can trigger an ancient hormonal sequence that says, "I'm being chased by a tiger! Horde the fat!" The body literally shuts down what it considers to be unnecessary activity in favor of self-preservation. And guess what? Burning off those hips and love handles is not a biological necessity. You have to learn when to hit it hard AND when to rest and recover. Finally, you have to put yourself into the proper mental state in order to see greater results in the shortest period of time. Jon devotes an entire chapter to putting your mind into your muscle to make gains faster than ever befor in "7 Minute Muscle." You can read more here -- 7 MINUTE MUSCLE <--- brief is best! Just remember these three key points: 1. Time is the greatest barrier to fitness. 2. Workouts can be short and very effective. 3. The body goes where the mind directs. Until next week, train smart.

BUT I DID NOT PLAN IT THIS WAY

Have you ever been too tired to train after a vacation? I went on a little vacation last week to Toronto and Ottawa, had a great time, a lot of driving, but a great time none the less. The places I stayed at had no gym, s I did interval {Tabatas-using the Workoutmuse soundtrack} training with bodyweight exercises each day, nothing too rigorous knowing I’d be driving and doing a lot of walking each day. Drove home Sunday, got home around 10pm.Monday I had work at 6:30 until 6:30, and planned on doing my scheduled workout which would have included a 10 minute dead lift EDT zone and 2 Turbulence Training rounds. I was still too tired and just wanted to work out as quick as possible, but I wanted to have a good workout. So I did a 7 minute workout. Doing deadlifts, then swings, it is now Friday and my traps are still sore and feel pumped! I do believe you should plan your workout but it is also great to have back-ups, because some times life happens. It is good to learn various workouts that way you have a full repertoire to choose from!

Is your CHILD overweight & lack self-esteem?

You know we always talk about our OWN fitness and how to stay in
shape, but have you seen some of the KIDS these days?

An estimated 60 MILLION kids are overweight...

...and the number is growing at epidemic proportions!

Yes, there's all the "health issues" that come with this like
diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure.

But kids don't care about this stuff (yet!)

It's the hurtful TEASING and NAME CALLING they have to endure day
after day from their schoolmates.

They're called names and kids laugh behind their back and make up
jokes about them.

THIS is where the REAL DAMAGE is taking place with our kids!

Sure we can blame it on "McDonald's" and "television".

But the fact is that these are challenges that CAN be overcome.

But here's the problem...

A lot of DOCTORS don't know what advice to give parents about their
kid's weight problem!

Government organizations and other community services are
trying...but often just offer "tips".

But "tips" and "doctors' advice" dished out in a 5 minute checkup
do NOT help parents with ALL of the challenges they face when
trying to help their child.

Most parents struggle with finding REAL SOLUTIONS for their son or
daughter's weight gain.

And it's just WAY too confusing and frustrating to run around
trying to "piece together articles" about what to do.

That's why my friend, Jeff Anderson (who has a 14 y.o. who
struggles with his weight) took matters into his OWN hands and put
together a COMPLETE program just for PARENTS who want to help their
child or teen lose weight.


It's called "Raising Fit Kids" and if you have an overweight child,
you're going to say "FINALLY!" (I promise you!)

It covers EVERYTHING you need to know to help you kid.

Here's a link where you can go and check it out...

It even comes with a complete book on "Raising Your Child's
SELF-ESTEEM"...

...something that is DESPERATELY needed for these kids!

If you DO have an overweight child, you owe it to them to at least
LOOK at the website to see if there's anything that can help you.

Or maybe you KNOW someone who struggles with helping their child
lose weight?

If so, PLEASE do them a favor and FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO THEM!

We need to help our children as much as possible...and this program
WILL help them!

5 MUSCLE BUILDING TIPS

Today I have 5 quick muscle building tips from Jason Feruggia, author of “Muscle Gaining Secrets” that may
make a big difference in your training.

- Don't exceed 5-6 reps on most of your warm up
sets. Your first set could consist of a very light
weight for 10-20 reps just to get loosened up and
get the blood flowing but beyond that you want to
keep the reps low. The reason for this is that you
don't want to build up too much lactic acid or
accumulate too much fatigue with your warm ups.

- Don't stretch before your workout in the hopes
of preventing injury. This doesn't work. The only
benefit of stretching before a workout is to help
you get into positions you might not be able to
reach (such as a full squat) because you are tight
in specific areas (such as the glutes and hip
flexors). But stretching for the sake of injury
prevention is an outdated idea and doesn't really
work.

- Don't over-analyze and over-think everything you
do in the gym. This never gets you anywhere. Don't
worry if the incline of the bench is supposed to be
30 degrees or 35 degrees. Don't worry that if you
don't supinate at exactly the right time you won't
activate your biceps optimally. Don't stress out
about the exact grip width on the bar. If someone
tells you that a 14 inch grip on the bench press
hits your triceps better than anything else, but
because of an injury or anatomical difference you
can only comfortably use an 18 inch grip, don't
sweat it. People over-think themselves to death and
they never get anywhere because of it. Go to the
gym, get stronger, go home, eat, sleep and repeat.
Don't turn it into advanced calculus.

- Always train both sides of the joint with equal
volume. Therefore if you do six sets of pressing
exercises you need to do six sets per week of
pulling exercises. If you do two sets of curls you
should do two sets of triceps work. And so on and
so on...

- If you can't get your forearms to grow, try
hitting them with more frequency than other muscle
groups. They can easily be trained three times per
week and recover without any problem. You could
also do them first in your workout if you really
want to prioritize them or at least on a different
day than you do your biceps work. Don't just do
light sets of 20-50 reps, either; you need to hit
the forearms heavy sometimes. And don't forget
about the behind the back wrist curl; this can be
done with a lot of weight and will definitely
spark some forearm growth. When you finish training
the forearms, hit them with a deep stretch for both
the extensors and flexors for 30-60 seconds.

OFF THE HOOK!

I had not heard that saying, “off the hook”, for a while so I thought it was gone. Until the other day when I felt like I was on the set of some “B” comedy re-living that era. There they were a couple of guys with their ball caps on sideways and cocked, throw their hands down, talking about how the street festival I was at, at the same time, was “off the hook”. It made me laugh, sort of felt like “A Night at the Roxbury” meets”Malibus’Most Wanted””
Anyway
Craig Ballantyne of “Turbulence Training” will have 3 trainings available next month, from fa tloss to muscle gain, that should be “Off the Hook” J. The one I am most looking forward to is the 3 minute arm workouts to be done at the end of workouts.
