As many of you kept up with my progress after the SPF Backyard Meet at Mark Bell’s SuperTraining Gym, I was 330 lbs. the day of the meet, and disgusted with the way I looked so I decided to drop down using the CarbNite diet. For 7 weeks I dieted and lost all the way down to 300 lbs.

While in the gym I wasn’t focused on heavy weights, just moderate weights for reps, and higher rep work to aid in my dieting, and recovery from 5 meets in 10 months. On January 1st, 2013 I set out on my new goal, to regain the weight (some of it), and to maintain the look I had at 300 lbs. So here is how I went about reaching my goal… I started with the plan of eating 5 meals a day. This would keep my metabolism going, but also allow me to gain. Meal1: Always: 6-8 Eggs scrambled or fried in Coconut Oil Pick One: 3 Packets of Flavored Oats 1.5 Cups of White Rice 2 Packets of Cream of Wheat with Honey Can of Corned Beef Hash Cooked Until Super Crispy On Training Days: 1 Cup of Cottage Cheese Meal 2: 8 oz. Baked Potato. Tim Ferriss: Superhuman - The Kettlebell Experiment - Bring One To Life For $10. Ultimate Bulgarian Bag Exercise Resource : Synergy Athletics – Muscle and Strength Training For Athletes.

You are here: Home / Featured / Ultimate Bulgarian Bag Exercise Resource I was drifting around my YouTube channel last week to find categories of videos that people have enjoyed, and to my surprise over 300,000 views went towards a simple piece of homemade gear. Since I did a few videos, I thought it would be valuable to organize them here in one complete resource.

Most of these videos are from ’09-’10 and pre HD camera, so they are a bit smaller, but packed with info! Looking for something to ramp up your conditioning even during the winter months? Make this inexpensive and effective training tool. This is a great odd object and that you can swing around, throw on your shoulder, and perform tons of exercises.

The Bulgarian Training Bag is perfect for conditioning and accessory exercises. Bulgarian Training Bag Benefits: The Diet of UFC Champion Georges St-Pierre: How He Transformed Himself. Georges St. Pierre, better known to fight fans worldwide as “GSP,” is currently the UFC Welterweight Champion. His publicly stated goal is to retire as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world and, at a record of 23-2, ESPN currently ranks him as the #3 pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

I think he’ll get there. His intellect–and consistency–is what separates him from the brawlers. He has a scientific approach to winning. This isn’t limited to training. He considers nutrition a critical part of his fight prep, just as important as being in the cage. In the next 8 weeks, GSP gained approximately 12 pounds of lean muscle and bulked up to 195 pounds. This post will walk you through how GSP ate during his 2009 transformation… While he no longer has a private chef for everyday meals, GSP still consults with Berardi and still flies Jen and Ross to his hotel the week before a big fight to cook for him and his entourage. What Does GSP Eat? Below is the 2009 meal plan designed for GSP by Dr. Zone 1 and Zone 2 Training, Explained. Heart Rate Monitor Training for Triathletes Part I. Heart Rate Training Zones. By USA Triathlon Coach Ken Johnson Most training plans are based on Intensity. Intensity is described by five training zones, Zone 1 to Zone 5.

Many triathlon training plans divide the top zone in three: Zone 5a, 5b, and 5c. Athletes can use these zones to "tune" each workout for the best results. The zones are set based on percentages of generally one of three values: Lactate ThresholdVO2 MaxMaximum Heart Rate Of these, Lactate Threshold has been shown to be one of the best predictors of endurance performance. VO2 Max represents the maximum amount of oxygen that can be used by the muscles during a specified period. Measuring lactate threshold require a medical test while on a treadmill or stationary bike. Note: Heart Rate Zone values are based on running. Zone 1: Recovery Also known as: Overdistance Intensity: Very Low % Lactate Threshold: 65%-84% % VO2 Max: 55%-65% % Max Heart Rate: 60%-70% RPE Scale: 6-9 Zone 2: Endurance Zone 3: Lactate Threshold Zone 4: VO2 Max Intervals top.

Rich Froning Snatch Ladder Double Unders - All Things Gym. Rich Froning Training Days - All Things Gym. Sure, there is a possibility that Froning is an absolute genetic outlier. I would never say that there is no chance whatsoever. I was 24 once too. I did many things that I could not do now. However, there is a limit to human physiology, and I’m just basing my educated guess off of 20 years of working with athletes. I work very closely with endocrinologists. Consider other athletes’ training for comparison. Just for argument’s sake, if Froning is truly this incredible athlete, why isn’t he competing in a real sport where he could make far more money? Ask yourself this question, what was Rich Froning doing before becoming Crossfit royalty?

I have a solution to all this. All Things Gym - Daily Dose of Strength Athletics. SEALgrinderPT — ...a Navy SEAL workout using bodyweight exercises... Functional Bodybuilding. Early on in anyone's personal training career, the term, "Functional Bodybuilding," might have sounded like an oxymoron. But, as we've become more educated and much more experienced, we've come to find that the term functional bodybuilding makes more sense (to us) than many of the training trends we see in the fitness field.

In this article I'm going to tell you why athletes don't need to fear bodybuilding concepts; how adding to one's structural hypertrophy (through bodybuilding) can be very functional for athletes. I'll also provide a sample hybrid-training program showing you how we integrate bodybuilding along with other proven training methods to improve your muscle and your hustle! What is Functional Training? We can't talk about how bodybuilding can be functional for athletes without first defining what "functional training" is. Put simply, if the exercise transfers positively into the target sport, activity or physique goal you're training for, it's functional!

Specific Exercises 1. Olympic Lifting Made Simple. Having started my life in the iron game as an Olympic lifter, I've always been influenced by the training done by the most explosive athletes in the world. The Olympic lifts have a rhythm to them like no other. After a big fast pull, the weight rockets up high overhead before slamming back down to the ground. It's physical poetry in motion. Even as a teenager and just learning about lifting, I knew that the Olympic lifts were for me. Big weights? I'm interested. So at the ripe old age of 15 and just two weeks into my training, I sat down and planned it all out. Well, you might've noticed that my bio fails to list world records in either the snatch or the clean and jerk.

Recently, I decided to return to the competitive platform for the first time in over 10 years. So I put together the following program and have used it on myself and five other lifters that were all training for their very first meets.
