Why It Is Important To Switch Things Up

Have you ever been so bored from a routine you just want to strangle someone just so something is different? I certainly have; I hate being bored and I hate to say this but if you're repeating a routine and it becomes stale plus you're not having fun or getting anything out of it its time to change it up man.

Changing up a routine often can be a good thing as it keeps the brain active and learning new aspects and taking on different tasks to keep things interesting. You can only stick to something for so long before you start to dread it and just end up going down a blackhole into purgatory. To keep things interesting, it is important to find what you like and what gives you benefit plus a good solid challenge to test your abilities. You don't need to be hardcore in order for things to be interesting.

That's the beauty of playing with animal exercises (specifically primate as of late), it constantly changes and because of the movements it's practically different every time. The Animal Dice Game is a prime example of constantly changing things up, working your brain like crazy while developing a physique that excels at conditioning, functional strength, agility and preparedness. You expect the unexpected and you never know what you'll come up with.

There are routines however that some people just can't let go of because of the fear of change and starting over again. We mainly fear what we don't know know and we buckle under our own set of pressure. Switching things up can be a good thing, a new experience and challenging the norm. I take pride in finding out different things, moving a certain way from a different angle and developing my body in ways I haven't found yet. I rarely ever stay with a specific routine for an extended period of time mainly because I do bored very easily and I intuitively find things to learn or go back to something I love that lays that foundation.

Never give up on your training but don't go stale either. Everything can be learned so pick your battles and find exciting adventure.

Organic Beet Juice Powder Sale- LAST CALL - Benefits of Antioxidants

A few days left to grab Organic Beet Powder $5 OFF…Actually, you have until Sunday evening, but I would hurry as they are going quicker than we expected.

Today I want to focus on another one of the BIG BENEFITS Beet powder provides…

Antioxidants!

Besides the nitric oxide boosting nitrates, there is a whole lot else inside beets and our new Organic Beet Juice Powder.

Another powerful group of compounds is betalains.

These are further grouped based on colors. The red-violet color in beets come from betacyanins. There is also yellow-orange betaxanthins present. These are powerful antioxidants that work to quell oxidative stress in the body.

Juiced beets run red just like your blood, a clue to the positive effects they have on it.

One of these antioxidant compounds is known as betanin. “ Betanin’s high antioxidant activity appeared to stem from its exceptional electron donating capacity and ability to defuse highly reactive radicals targeting cell membranes.”

But that is just one of many antioxidants. Others include rutin, epicatechin, caffeic acid and more. Even the nitrates have been shown to have antioxidant benefits.

While research is still early, a review of the literature concluded that “ This raises the possibility that beetroot’s antioxidant potential is not limited to just scavenging and suppressing [free radicals], but includes the ability to reinforce the endogenous antioxidant network.”

If true, that means that beet juice powder can not only support your body directly but helps it better support itself.

Right now, you can pick up a bag or several of our Organic Beet Juice Powder for $5 off.

And we’re not done yet…

Dimethylglycine and trimethylglycine (the latter of which is also known as betaine, since it was first derived from beets) are other potent molecules found in beets.

Both of these are methyl donors, with DMG having two molecules to donate, and TMG having three.

The process of methylation involves attaching these methyl donors to proteins, including enzymes, hormones and even DNA and RNA, as well as to heavy metals.

While methylation plays many roles in the body, the most notable is that it helps your body to detoxify various toxins. Supporting methylation is extra important today because of the added pollution we’re all under.

That’s why this Organic Beet Juice Powder is great.

It tastes great. It easily mixes into water. And each serving is equal to approximately half a cup of beet juice. With the ease of use, you can get a lot more beet into your system.

I know I have been lately, and I hope you will too.

The Art Of Moving Like A Wild Primate

We are mesmerized by the strength, agility and overall conditioning of Primates; they use what their daily lives require in order to hunt, climb, run and take on daunting tasks that no human can match. We can however determine some simulated movements to develop our body's chemistry to build muscle, increase strength in the tendons and tremendous endurance in the legs with given exercises that mimic a primate's movement.

Gorillas & Chimps/Bonobos walk on their inner knuckles that's above the finger nails, orangutans walk more on their fists in full knuckle position; monkeys use more of the palms since they have a different structure compared to the apes, more of a cat/dog type structure especially in certain species such as Baboons, Rhesus Macaques, Lemurs and others of such. To move as close as possible like them our positioning needs to coincide with the way our structures will allow us.

Nowadays the bear crawl movement has opposite hand/foot type movement with back aligned as straight as possible; I take that style but locking in my inner knuckles and pressing my thumb into the floor as I walk in that position. It's not as easy as it looks but it develops insane gripping power, tendon strength and makes the forearms like steel cords. I have gotten such great strength from it that when I do massages for people I have gotten the nickname "Boney Fingers" due to the solid hardness and muscular structure of the fingers.

There are many ways that don't have to do precisely how a primate moves because lets face it, we don't have the optimal ability to have that side by side strength and coordination with them so we use what we can to get as close as possible. The hanging exercises alone build the body in a very unique way. I love to hang in various grip positions and even the most simple one is a tough bastard because you're holding your entire bodyweight in your hands. To make things a little easier and hang longer is to tense the muscles from the fingertips to the toes and with that method at my size, holding for up to 30 seconds is decent. The lighter you are the greater the chance of hanging for a solid period of time but the bigger you are, the greater the difficulty of time spent hanging.

Whether you grip into the floor or by a pull-up bar, primate movements and holds develop a unique set of strengthened muscles and elongating the spine that trims fat of the obliques and lowers body fat along the entire core structure. Once you get into the advanced movements, your body will begin to change. One of the greatest examples of this magnitude is to look at a young girl back in the mid-2000's I believe where she had a pet monkey and mimicked it throughout her childhood and it changed her structure to a degree of the way her hands, fingers, shoulders & core were developed. They tested her at a clinic to see what her overall strength was and pound for pound she had developed strength that most men couldn't match. She went on to become a rock climbing champion.

Primate Fitness Wins Again

My back issues are really dwindling now and I'am loving it. Been waking up the last couple days with hardly any pain in my lower back and slowly getting back to what I love the most and that's moving like a primate (ape/monkey) and hanging longer on the pull-up bar. I'm also down to 253 lbs which has been the lowest in the last couple years. The most I have ever weighed was 273 so i'm happy to stay 20 pounds off thus far.

Just getting on the mats, lock in my knuckles and just have at it. Seeing a bit more sinewy muscle and more definition in my abs and back. To me it is the most natural form of exercise; squats and push-ups work great and natural movements but moving with primal instincts, movement & precision is far more natural to me. It'll look goofy but as they say, looks can be deceiving.

I feel blessed to have such a strong intuition and I know not too many people believe in that kind of thing but it is something every person should practice. It teaches you how to harness your instincts, what feels the most natural to you and the understanding of right and wrong using emotions and what makes you feel good. Too many forget how to apply their own instincts by going by someone else's ideals and be more of a follower which for them is great but I believe being too much of a follower leads to fear of becoming a leader in your own right. You can't control everything in life but you can control your emotional content and applying it to your natural abilities to do something regardless of others.

I practice Primate Movements not for the sake of others and what they think is fitness, I do it because it's fun, natural & it keeps me fit that is unique. Being different is one of the most difficult things to learn because in some ways you were taught to be like everybody else, listen but don't do things that are right for you. It's good to have common sense and the understanding of right and wrong but it is also important to learn about your own individuality; your own self being and discovering your true self. People are very fearful for who they truly are because they have been taught to be like someone else because of status, creed, race, religion and other elements. I don't consider myself fitness royalty and i'm damn sure that I don't let the color of my skin define me; I'm a human being and want to do something is different, something not many people see but seem intrigued. I don't seek approval, I seek self and gives me the best benefit.

Nitrates
Antioxidants
Methylators
And More
$5 Off Now through Sunday, August 20th, 2017.

It is great for many but in particular two great things…Athletics and Sex.

Plus, unlike many of our other herbs and formulas, this one tastes great, and it a good base when mixing it with other herbs.

But first, let me tell you why I’m personally excited about this one.

Beets and Nitric Oxide

One of beets most popular benefits comes from the dietary nitrates it provides.

What does this mean for you? Nitric Oxide (NO) is necessary for proper blood flow and functioning. Most notably:

NO is important for healthy heart function .
NO is important for supporting athletic function and workouts, increasing recovery , decreasing fatigue , and providing better energy .
NO is important for erectile function .
NO is important for brain function .
Rich in Antioxidants

Another powerful group of compounds inside beet roots are betalains.

One of these antioxidant compounds is known as betanin. “Betanin’s high antioxidant activity appeared to stem from its exceptional electron donating capacity and ability to defuse highly reactive radicals targeting cell membranes”

But that is just one of many antioxidants. Others include rutin, epicatechin, caffeic acid and more. Even the nitrates have been shown to have antioxidant benefits.

Beet Juice Powder for Cognitive Function

Blood flows to the brain. As such you might expect this can bring some beneficial effects.

“It is conceivable that a NO generator like beetroot has the potential to improve cerebrovascular blood flow and challenge detriments in cognitive function.”

That's not all but I think you get the point!
