Burning Fat With Sprints
Trying to lose weight, burn fat, build muscle and all that stuff yet most would tell you to do an hour of cardio and weights. Hate to break it to you but it always happen that way, however; you can get things done in a far shorter amount of time and that's through High Intensity Training (HIT). We've all heard this before but does it really work? Hell yes it does but a lot believe you need to do it everyday. There's no way in hell you can go that hard everyday without either blacking out, burning out or just plain die from exhaustion. At best 2-3x a week should be the maximum, for beginners once a week is enough.
Sprint Training is the focal point to HIT because it's a far shorter workout, you're resting more than training. Your body is filled with powerful cells and has a very strong sense of recovery. Although different people recover differently the principle still applies. Now when some mention sprints they think running either or up a hill or flight of stairs; it's not always running something it could be other things like skipping rope, battling ropes, moving like a wild animal; it's moving as fast as you possibly can for a short burst. Thirty seconds should be the peak. At first only a few seconds is all you can do which is fine it's a start. In my personal training when I do sprints, most of the time 30 seconds is the whole workout not one set at a time. When you go hard at a fast pace, you're opening the fast twitch muscle fibers that unlocks every muscle in your body that's firing.
There's just no way your body can move fast without every muscle firing because if you did it in isolation and only working a specific set of muscles those muscles would be far drained and you'll be looking like a goofball. Whether it's running, swimming, battling ropes or whatever, most likely your whole body comes into play because it needs to work in unison. Hitting the body that hard produces natural growth hormone which creates a level of burning fat, building muscle and releasing more cells to the bloodstream. Think about all those dumb lethal injections people do to stimulate growth hormone when in reality you can produce it naturally and have it be 10x more than the latest pill or needle in your arm or wherever. Unless your hormones are so low that exercise wise it won't come no matter what you do than see a doctor about it but generally your body is meant to naturally grow from within, it's a beautiful piece of work.
Think of it like this, who in the hell has a lot of time these days to get in awesome shape? You work like a madman, got a family to feed and you think an hour and a half everyday is going to get you somewhere? So why not have shorter workouts that produce far more than standard cardio. It's building your body without the hassle. Even if you spent a few short minutes a day doing a crazy style of Yoga can help you and progress even by the smallest fraction. On your "days off"; stretch, breathe deeply and recover. There are days where you hit hard one day and go a 180 the next or you go hard and the next day you do about half or a third of the previous day. Listen to your body and get a feel of how you recover, your level of energy and the intensity you bring yourself. Don't always listen to some shmuck that ghost writes, do what's best for you. Shorter bursts produce better results in my opinion but it's also just as important to recover and let your body repair itself. Practice it and you'll start to see changes you never knew was possible.
Have a great weekend everyone. Be Awesome.

Could Arthur Saxon Be A Vampire?
It's not every day you find one of the greatest strongmen in history in the most unlikely source, a Vampire Book. A current book I'm reading called Fangs: Everything The Modern Vampire Needs To Know which I find fascinating so far shows the ins and outs of a Vampire in the current scene. Now for the most part I would rather be like Blade (Daywalker) than some dumbass from Twilight. In a chapter about Vampire Powers there's superspeed, strength, magic, flight, shapeshifting and things that make a Vampire; out of all things they happen to pick Saxon for Strength. Why is that? They had artistic pictures of other vampires and demons but yet chose to have a real life figure for Strength. They could've chosen a more mainstream person but yet got Saxon and why, because he is one of the true kings of the modern century in strongmanism.
In my opinion (and theory at that) they picked Saxon because they wanted to find a man of incredible strength and power but yet look to what strength was in a certain time where if you were very muscular chances were you had equal or more strength to go with it. Saxon was ahead of his time when he burst onto the scene in circus acts with his brothers and to this day holds the record for the most weight lifted with one arm in the bent-press. Although that was his most famous lift, it wasn't just that lift he was good at, he was incredibly strong in other areas and was a man who seemed invincible (hint Vampire).
The power he possessed was far ahead than nearly every single strongman of his era. He used intelligence and put into practice the energy that would give him the strength to lift more weight with one arm than 99% of the population can't with two arms. You have to remember, strength in those days came in the form of very few athletes, unlike today there are strongman competitions all over the world but back then, you'd be lucky to find a strongman show that didn't involve a circus or a vaudeville show whether it was in the U.S, Canada or abroad in Europe. Saxon in his time was the man everyone aspiring strongman wanted to duplicate because today no one has beat him and this has science in the form of steroids, performance enhancers and yet still no where near him. Giving the fact that almost no one does the Bent-Press or the Two-Handed Anyhow anymore unless you're in a small circle of athletes who continue a tradition in the Old-Time Arts.
So think about this, one of the strongest men to have ever lived happens to be in Vampire Book that displays what strength is to the undead. Could it be that Saxon may have had some supernatural entities to have been chosen out of countless strongmen even the best of today? No one knows, maybe the stories of legendary beer drinking was really blood and it gave him superhuman strength. Think about that for a moment.
Be awesome everyone.

Enhancing The Natural Abilities In Your Body
Although we are born with certain abilities and learn either
faster or slower than others, it’s still noted that we find something we are
strong or weaker in no matter what it is. To enhance our abilities, we must
practice what is in our imaginations, how our body is congruent with our
thoughts and how we apply certain techniques to create the super strength and
speed that we desire. Yes I realize we can’t be the X-Men or have the
intelligence of Batman or even have the uncanny supernatural abilities of a
Vampire; however, we can jump start our bodies to run a little faster, jump a
bit higher and highly emphasize our strength levels without the need for
steroids or performance enhancing drugs.
I find
Vampires fascinating not because of the way they look or how charming/evil they
are; I’m fascinated by their enhanced abilities at a supernatural level. Once
a human is bitten, he/she is driven into darkness without warning or choice but
on the other side of the coin they’re given a gift and a curse of powers that
generate more than any human; the ability to fly, see, hear, touch, smell and
given greater strength, speed and ascended physical attributes. What if (minus
the flying part) we could generate our bodies abilities like that even by 1% to
save someone’s life, jump higher out of hazardous ground, run faster out of
danger and have the strength to carry your family to safety. Most of the time,
we can only enhance our natural abilities for a short time because of adrenaline
and the reaction to a situation in that time frame.
There’s
energy all around us, in the words of Obi Wan “It surrounds us and penetrates us
and binds the galaxy together.” Sure he was talking about the force but it’s
practically the same thing just in a different format. The energy we all have
can be greatly higher if we use our mind and body as if it were the same thing.
Although they’re different yet in unison, it can greatly enhance your life by
100 fold. The way you make certain sound can make you stronger or weaker, the
way you visualize and move with it can either make you very flexible or very
stiff. When you create a thought, a result comes into play. I’m not if you
think you’re going to lose 20 pounds in less than 2 days it’s going to happen,
what I ‘am saying is that if you think differently and open up your mind, your
results can come much quicker. It doesn’t matter how old you are, how strong or
how you think your brain works, just to have one thought and put into action
can have the greatest impact. Internalize your energy and let it flow through
your body using certain techniques and you’ll find that you can generate
greater abilities than you already have.
Nowadays
especially in athletics, drugs are the main course for the competition. Men and
women use Steroids either by injection, pills or whatever to greatly ascend
their natural abilities to crush their competition. Hit more homeruns, run
faster to tackle or score a touchdown, kick a ball further into the goal post,
jump higher to grab a rebound and see the basket clearer to make a jump shot;
these are all the things athletes can do but it doesn’t need to be that way.
With the techniques you can learn from CoreForce Energy, there won’t be any
side effects that can have you deteriorate later in life, matter of fact it can
help you stay young, vibrant and crazy strong and supple if you practice it. It’s
not just athletics drugs are involved; its academics, business, losing weight,
law enforcement and even kids are doing them and it’s stupid. You have more
power in you than you can imagine. You can create greater strength and
abilities if you apply yourself and your body will greatly thank you for it.
When you take those drugs and your abilities take hold, remember it’s only for
a small time and in order to keep it up you need to keep taking them and before
you know it, you’re an addict. You can be smarter, stronger, faster and have
better senses if you practice things that don’t require things that can kill
you. Be better than that and know that you can be better. My drug of choice is
CoreForce Energy.
Happy Monday guys. Be awesome and have a great start to a
new week.

The Bodyweight Exploits Of Spiderman
Out of the many classic superheroes, Spiderman seems to be
the most athletic in the sense where he doesn’t have the weightlifter physique
or the bodybuilder look but he moves like an athlete should. He has the most
control in his body to weight ratio and moves with unbelievable grace and power
at the same time.
In
Bodyweight Training, you learn to control your body through movements that
require no equipment (unless you do pull-ups). For the most part when people
begin lifting weights they don’t realize that mastering your own bodyweight ought
to be more important before even touching a weight. I’ve seen guys in the gym who
can lift more than double their bodyweight but can’t hold their own in a single
push-up or pull-up. Handling your own bodyweight goes a long way in learning
how to contract and extend the muscles with fluidity and great power. Some use
Yoga to do Bodyweight Training, others learn how to master their body through
Handbalancing or Gymnastics.
Mastering
your body in various directions can give you strength that weights can’t touch.
Think of it like this, a man can bench press 400 lbs. but most likely can’t do
400 push-ups; the two exercises are different but one uses more muscles than
the other. I’m not saying if you could do 400 push-ups you’ll automatically
lift that same number but yet you have mastered an exercise that requires deep
concentration, working more than the upper body and there are many variations
you can do. To master your bodyweight, you work from as many angles as possible
using as many muscles in a single exercise. Karl Gotch once said “you don’t
need to do much, for doing a lot.” You can have ultimate mastery when you can
control your body in very difficult movements or holds like a free standing handstand,
one-legged squat, finger pull-ups, front levers with one arm, the iron cross on
the gymnastic rings, the various planch positions these are all examples of
what great mastery can achieve.
When
most learn bodyweight training, they usually go through the motions and just
learn an exercise. Now here’s a small tip to create bigger results; learn to
use your imagination. Creating a vision in your mind and applying it to your
exercises can generate even greater strength because a different thought
creates a different result. When you do squats, instead of just counting reps
and thinking of just squats, picture in your mind something cool that makes you
do squats like if you have to duck from a hazardous object like Indiana Jones
did in the Last Crusade or doing Hindu Squats and imagining you have to row a
boat where you squat down and rowing the oars, think of the result coming out
of that and how much fun it can be and not dreading just the exercise. Thinking
differently with feeling can give you far greater results than just going
through the motions. Picture yourself
being superhuman and training to save your city from evil.
Spiderman
is one of those superheroes most can relate to, sure he has super powers we don’t
have but like anyone else, he can be hurt or worse get killed. He doesn’t have
that overpowering physique most heroes have; full of muscle and all that, he
just seems like a regular guy when he’s not being a superhero. Don’t forget,
some of the ordinary looking people can have extraordinary gifts. Don’t judge a
book by its cover.
Be awesome everyone, have a badass weekend and have fun.
First day of summer is tomorrow, the longest day of the year, make it a blast.
