Good Morning Troops! If you haven't already check out my childhood obesity video on YouTube. I also wanted to point out that kids love New Whey Liquid Protein...at least my kids anyway. They don't need the entire bottle but it would be a good idea to mix it in their orange juice in the morning so they get that extra nutrients everyday. Here's my daughter London posing with it last week.
A lot of moms also ask me if this is a good product to get their sons. This is the perfect drink for after soccer practice and for after a good workout or run. I highly recommend it to many different groups of people from bariatric patients, to athletes and people looking for a healthy snack alternative.
As you all know there is a lot of controversy between serious weight lifter/bodybuilders and Planet Fitness. Google it, its all over the forum on bodybuilding.com, YouTube, etc.
In short, they don't want serious weight lifters and bodybuilders in their gyms. They say they want to provide their customers with a "judgement free zone" to workout and somehow weight lifters grunting will effect that.
No matter who you are you're still judging someone. If you're a thin woman, you're probably staring at the lady next to you that has a better body wishing you could be her, or giving dirty looks to the creepy guy staring at you. The creepy guy is the one Planet Fitness should be kicking out. Not the people breathing hard because their into their work out.
Watch these videos to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.
Hello everyone. It's Tasty Tuesday so I thought I'd change it up and throw a little product knowledge your way. Today's topic is my favorite ready-to-drink pre-workout drink, BetaNOX Ultimate Energy brought to you by New Whey Nutrition.
I've begun training for the Southern State and Masters National Bodybuilding Competitions in July. I train for 13 weeks straight, eating clean and training hard. You can follow my Countdown To Judgement Day Blog to watch my progress and see for yourself how its done. It's not easy and as we all know, if it was everyone would do it. So for now watch what I do and hopefully I'll inspire you to reach your goals. My goal is to get first place, yours may be to lose 40 lbs or gain 40 lbs and get jacked. Whatever is it we can do it together. I report my progress to you and you report to me. We talk about our struggles and in the end, come out on top.
Here is a kick ass cardio burning workout for anyone who needs to either lose a little weight or a lot of weight. I guarantee if you stick with this at least 4 times a week you WILL DROP at least 2-4 lbs a week. The key to all diets is that you need to eat right in conjunction with your diet. HERE WE GO.
Part 1- Start with the treadmill on a 1 or 2 incline and a running speed of 3.3-4.0 and get the your heart rate up and pumping full steam. Run at this speed for 5 minutes then lower the speed down to a walking rate of 2.2 to 2.5 and do this for 5 minutes. No stopping for a break in between just do it. Repeat step 1 again but higher the incline to about 4-6 and start running at the speed of 3.3-4.0 (or whatever works to get your heart rate up). Do this for 5 minutes and then bounce it down to the walking speed but leave the height right were it is. Finish up and then get off and take a breather.
Part 2- Go over to the row machine and lets use a little upper body strength with an aerobic kick to it. Sit down on the rower and the principle is pretty much the same as the treadmill. Crank up the resistance and row for about 5 minutes straight. When the 5 minutes is up lower the resistance to a comfortable pulling weight and push out another hard 5minutes worth of rowing! This is painful but it will work. Take a breather and repeat the whole process over again. 2 SETS of this rotation and then get off of the machine and move to the next.
Part 3- Find the bike rotation in the gym, if you go to Planet Fatness be careful not to sweat on the seat because they'll kick you out. Guess its against the rules...don't sweat at the gym...go figure. Sounds silly to me but what do I know, I'm just dumb bodybuilder. Anyway, sit down get comfortable on the bike and start pedaling away at a nice resistance (not too hard but not too easy) for 5 minutes. Like before with the other 2 parts after you have done the first 5 minutes adjust the resistance and continue for another 5 minutes. Your legs should be on fire and you should be sweating all over the place. Repeat this for one more cycle and then fall off the bike and pat yourself on the back for completing this painful procedure. Do this a couple times a week for a good month and you will see results.
Part 4- Run over to the smoothie bar and order one of those so called low fat muffins filled with sugar and carbs!!! No I'm only teasing...don't do that. Just get some water and go home.
Try out this workout and tell me what you think! And start reporting you progress to me via Facebook or on my Website!

Today I'm talking to everyone about a serious issue in the United States, Childhood Obesity. Its going on all over the United States. We need to start learning about the issue, stop being sensitive and get our kids healthy. The way to do this is to lead by example. So get to a gym and take your children with you before its too late for them and the bad habits are already created.
This topic has been on my mind for a while now. It something I don't enjoy looking at on my peers but still think its pretty hilarious....MANBOOBS! No one whats this. Check out my latest video to see what Im talking about.
Here is a kick ass bicep workout guaranteed to swell your pipes up quick and hard. This isnt for the weak so if you can't hang don't even try this.
I use a preacher curl machine, remove the pin and place it into the 100lb slot and proceed to bang out 10 reps. If you have a partner it's his go and he will follow the same routine. After he is done jump back on now and set up 90lbs and proceed to do 10 reps as before. You will be screaming for help as you slowly proceed down the stack until you reach the 10lb mark. When you get done here you will remove the pin and bring it to the halfway point of the weight you started with (in this case 50 lbs) and rip through 15 reps to finish this grueling 15-20 minute straight pounding on your biceps.
You have accomplished the first part now walk over to the dumbells and grab a 25lb weight and start doing concentration curls one arm at a time for 15 reps squeezing the bicep as you bring the dumbell up. Slowly lower it down and do this for 3 sets. All in all this should only take you about 40-45 minutes to do and your arms will be taxed.
If you have the corage to do more, proceed over to the push down tricep machine. Just as you did your biceps pick a weight that you can handle for about 10 reps and start doing pushdowns with a mustache handled bar or v bar. When these reps are done let your partner do the same. If the weight you started with is 100 lbs move onto the 90 and so forth all the way down the line again until you finish the stack.
At this point the pain will be incredible and so will the pump from all the blood being pushed into the front and back of the arm. Dont be alarmed its just your arms slowly tearing threw the skin casuing your arms to appear bigger than life, all the little boys and girls in the gym will slowly start to admire your guns as though you are a SUPERSTAR.
