Biceps Curl with Rope – Exercise of the Week
There’s one killer exercise that I’ve learned to love because it increases biceps power and volume, grip strength, activates your core and also gives you a great pump! This exercise is the biceps curl (or hammer curl) with the rope and pulley system – (View photo here)
The great thing about this exercise is that it puts you in a position where you need to focus on keeping your core tight and prevent yourself from getting into a swinging action. The other focus point is to continually remind yourself that you need to keep your shoulder blades back and have your spine in the correct position to get the most out of this exercise. Let’s get into the details of this exercise…

Strength Training Benefits – Why It’s Essential to Your Health
It still surprises me that today in 2010 there are still so few people who are actively working on building their strength through weight training and other activities. The fact is that strength training is very essential to your health and in preventing diseases and joint/bone problems later in life so the point of this article is to bring light to all the benefits. Perhaps we first need to define strength training though…
What Defines Strength Training?
Well strength training is simply training your muscles to be able to lift/pull with greater force and efficiency. So this doesn’t just mean lifting or pulling heavier weights, but being able to do the movements with greater control of your body in space and time.

6 Pack Abs Checklist

6 Pack Abs Checklist
Is it really possible for anyone to get 6 pack abs or is it some genetic mutation that only some people are gifted with? I’d like to say yes it’s all genetics as I’m in the same boat with you, it’s a pain in the ass battling with having a chiseled midsection. In fact, it’s taken me a heck of a lot of work to get toned abs and sometimes I’m quite annoyed with guys who come in to the gym and barely workout and yet have the perfect abs.
Be that as it may, we’re going to quickly run through the 6 pack abs checklist so we have a point of reference in case we start going off track. I’ll be honest with you, it’s not going to be easy (for most of you!) but take this on as a personal challenge and stay determined until you reach your goals.

A New Healthier You

A New Healthier You
2010 was a challenge for most people I know…we were challenged incredibly with our work, finances, family life, relationships and of course our health. It seems like our health is one of the easiest to get hit the worst in tough economic times.
Many of us try and make ourselves feel better with food and this leads to excessively eating junk foods with little to no nutritional value like chips, popcorn, ice cream, chocolate and pastries. But now?
Now it’s the year 2011 and it’s a whole new decade! It’s time to reflect on last year and think of ways we can make this year better. Sounds a little overwhelming though doesn’t it?
Well let’s make this as simple as possible but let’s first start by promising ourselves to make this year a healthier year. We can always get better with our health, and if you don’t think that’s possible then you aren’t opening your mind up to learning. Even though I’ve been training for over 18 years I still feel like I’m learning each and every day and having this huge audience consistently asking questions allows me to think of solutions with different angles in mind.
Let’s get started!
