0 Develop Powerful Shoulders Without Pain


Develop Powerful Shoulders Without Pain


Want crazy shoulders like Arnold? Don't get injured!

One of the best exercises for shoulder strength and size development is the Barbell Press Behind The Neck. But grabbing a loaded bar and trying to press it behind your neck without sufficiently warming your shoulders up is asking for trouble. So here's an awesome shoulder saver exercise.

Band Pull-Aparts Behind The Neck


This exercise takes all the muscles involved in the barbell press behind the neck and provides them with tension that helps activate them so they'll all contribute properly to the pressing movement.

As always, before any heavy lifing, make sure muscles that might oppose achieving the full range of motion are well stretched out first.

Stretch: Pecs, Lats, External Rotation

Warm-up:

Side-lying dumbbell external rotations
Serratus push-ups
Band pull-aparts behind the neck (as shown above) 1-3 sets

Rest sufficiently between sets to prevent accumulation of fatigue. Do only as many reps as you feel you need to fully activate the muscle. But make sure to stop your set before you feel fatigue or burning in the targeted muscles.

Pushing your warm-up and activation sets into fatigue will hinder performance of your heavy pressing movement to come.

Use this warm up and then do this balanced upper body workout to build awesome muscle size and strength.

1) Barbell Press Behind The Neck 3 x 8

2a) Mixed Grip Pull-ups 3 x 8-12
2b) TRX, Blast Strap, or chain suspended push-ups

3a) Barbell Shrugs 3x15
3b) Posterior Flyes 3x12

Let me know how it went in the comments section below.

0 Strength Training On Limited Time

For whatever reason if you've got limited time to get your workouts in, don't despair, there's still ways to get stronger and build more muscle.

Key Points

1. Limit the number of exercises

2. Every other day training with upper/lower split

3. Ensure you get soft tissue work for a couple areas as well as some dynamic stretching and activation prior to your strength work

4. Pick one main exercise, one supplemental, and one accessory.


Example:

Monday - Day 1 - Lower Body

Foam Roller: Quads/IT Bands/ T-Spine

Dynamic stretching: Quads, Hip Flexors

Activation: Glute Bridges

Squats 5x5

RDL 4x8

Weighted Plank 3x60 sec


Wednesday - Day 2 - Upper Body

Foam Roller: T-Spine/Pecs/Lats

Dynamic Stretching: Pecs/Lats


Bench Press 5x5

Chin - ups 4xmax

Barbell Curls 3x10


Friday - Day 3 - Lower Body

Foam Roller: T-Spine/Quads/IT Bands/Hams

Dynamic Stretching: Hamstrings/Squat-to-stand

Activation: Glute Bridge variations

Deadlifts 5x3

Split Squats 4x12

Hanging Leg Raises 3x15


Monday - Day 4 - Upper Body

Foam Roller: Pecs/Lats/T-Spine

Dynamic Stretching: PNF Patterns for shoulders

Activation: Wall Slides, Scapular retractions

1- DB Push Press 5x6

Seated Cable Rows 4x10

EZ-Bar Skull Crushers 3x10



Volume Considerations

Progressive volume manipulations will also keep you from plateauing.

Using squats as an example:

Starting week 1 with an 80% 1RM load (225 lbs), volume progressions might map out as follows. Weeks 5-8, 9-12, and 13-16 use the same manipulations as weeks 1-4.


Week 1: 5x5x225 Moderate volume moderate load
Week 2: 4x5x225 Reduced volume, moderate load
Week 3: 8x3x245 Increased volume, increased load
Week 4: 3x6x205 Significant volume and load reduction (deload week)

Week 5: 5x5x230
Week 6: 4x5x230
Week 7: 7x3x255
Week 8: 3x6x215

Week 9: 5x5x235
Week 10: 4x5x235
Week 11: 6x2x260
Week 12: 3x6x220

Week 13: 5x5x240
Week 14: 3x5x240
Week 15: 5x2x265
Week 16: 2x6x225

Such volume manipulations allow increased for strength increases that you wouldn't otherwise get from simple linear progression.

The same types of variations can be done with all main exercises, and some supplemental exercises such as chin-ups, and weighted pushups.

If you're a beginner, you can probably keep the same main exercises throughout the 16 week period, intermediate and advanced lifters need to switch out the main exercises after each 4 week block.

Example substitutions include but are not limited to:

Main Upper Body
Bench Press
Board Presses
Floor Press
Military Press
Fat Bar Press
Swiss Bar Press
Weighted Pushups
Dynamic Effort work with bands/chains

Main Lower Body
Squats
Box Squats
Giant Cambered Bar Squats
Safety Squat Bar Squats
Zercher Squats
Front Squats
Deadlifts
Trap Bar Deadlifts
BTR (Beyond The Range) Deadlifts
Sumo Deadlifts
Rack Pull (Partials) Deadlifts
Dynamic effort work with bands/chains

0 Madness


Another old sketch, a little revised.

I love this type of woman: a soft feminine face, fresh and sensual, with a smiling and innocent air, with fine and delicate features, overcoming a hideous male-to-death body, muscular, venous, hard, massive....

The madness of this female /male combination makes me crazy...

1 Exercise ADD

I just received an email from an old client yesterday. He wants to come back and train with me. It's been more than a few years since I last trained him, but he said he's eager to put on some size.

I turned him down. I told him I was too busy, that I had no room in my schedule.

The part about being busy is pretty much true, but I would never turn someone down who was eager to train and was ready to sacrifice at the alter... er.. in the rack, under the bar.

So why did I turn him down?


Because I couldn't get him to focus 100% of his energies on his training. It's not entirely his fault anyway, let's just say he's got an incurable case of exercise ADD.

The exercise ADD industry, yes.. it's an industry, has got the internet and bookstores and magazine racks and supermarket checkout aisles flooded with so much contradictory information that many people feel like it's impossible to change their bodies.

While they're feeling helpless they're buying into every new exercise fad, gimmick, or magazine with some crazy promise of overnight abs, or nutritional supplement with a cure for their plumbers' crack, instead of buckling down and committing to sacrifice... in the rack... under the bar!

When I used to train this old client of mine, and please understand, this guy was 28 years old, 6'2" tall, and he barely weighed 140 lbs, he was always emailing me ads he would find on the internet for the latest nutritional supplement, and while I would be putting him through his workout, he would see a piece of equipment at the gym or in my studio that he hadn't used and ask me if he should buy one for his home gym.

And every week he would ask me if we were going to do this exercise, or that exercise, or some other exercise instead of just sacrificing... in the rack... under the bar.

If You See This Man On TV...Turn it off quickly or you might end up with one of his ridiculous exercise gimmicks!

I would tell him we were going to be deadlifting today, and he would respond with, "Deadlifts? again? Didn't we do them last week?".

Can you see how frustrating this was for me?

Folks... I've been training for more than 20 years, and I would say that there hasn't been a month go by in those 20 years that I haven't trained deadlifts. Now it doesn't have to be deadlifts, it could be anything. But deadlifts are one of the moneymaker exercises. You just always deadlift.

So getting these kinds of responses just bores down on you over time.

I just can't take it anymore!

And I made a decision afterwards that I won't take any more clients who don't have the right attitude. Because guess what? If you don't want to deadlift... you ain't gonna get strong! And you're definitely not going to reach your goals.


Back in the day when nutritional supplements didn't exist, and fancy-schmancy equipment didn't exist, there were Men!

Very Strong men!

The Great Eugene Sandow

Men who couldn't care less about whether they were lifting a bar, a stone, or the back of a car.



They didn't care about silly spandex outfits!

They just wanted to get STRONG!

And they knew if they just persevered through the torn and sweat stained shirts, that they would become Powerful Beasts!

They lifted kettlebells, heavy sandbags, they pulled cars, trucks, boats, and even airplanes using thick ropes. They flipped massive tires, and did thousands of bodyweight exercises.


The Great Goerner...

Deadlifting With Only TWO Fingers!

They'd even resort to lifting other people when no other tools were at their disposal... or.. if it might get them laid!

The Great Paul Anderson


They'd never seen an exercise bike, a treadmill, an elliptical machine, or a stairmaster, and even had they seen them they would have probably tried to lift them not ride them.

The Great Paul Anderson Bench Pressing A Plate Loaded Power Rack!


Lionel Strongfort with 105 lb Kettlebell


These men were ripped to the bone and not one of them did any cardio!

Why?

Because they knew without knowing, that aerobic metabolism continues in the background throughout their tortuous workouts of lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling!

While spandex wearing fufu men would do traditional cardio, which is fueled by aerobic metabolism, these men would allow their aerobic energy system recover them from their lifting.

These men were committed...

These men came prepared...

These men sacrificed...

In the rack...

Under the bar...


Where do you stand?






1 Monique Hayes

I imagine that, if you come on this blog, you know Monique Hayes...

How to describe her to those (poor men...) who do not know her?

Try to imagine a concentrate of muscles, femininity, virility and pecs overflowing a top bikini... But you will still be far from the account! Monique, it is all this, and more still...

I do not know what is her secret, but on all her photos, she looks like she is going to explode through her clothes! Her muscles are so big and bloated that they spill everywhere! My God... It is so exciting!


Look at the photo above: even her vagina overflows her G-string! It's as if nothing could contain all her big muscles! I could hear them moan: "Let us out! We need space!"

Women as massive as Monique are confronted with a problem not really planned for a female body: they are way too much muscular ! And so, their big, men muscles have to fight to find space on their small, women body... And to see them moving, with this exciting muscular overload is a spectacle which drives me nuts with desire! Go girls! Keep growing and exceeding the limits imposed by the nature!

By thinking of all these things, I made this small drawing, where Monique manages to make a billiard cue come... How I would like whether it is my prick between her hands!

0 Overtime Can Kill You

You gotta watch your back!  
Overtime is out there! 

 And if you haven't seen it... YOU WILL!



Gotta get that project finished in a hurry?  Working lots of overtime?  If so, you've got a 1.6 fold increased chance of a heart attack!  That's right, all that overtime can kill you!


At least that's what a recent study published in the European Heart Journal says.  Six thousand and fourteen British civil servants (4262 men and 1752 women), aged 39–61 years who were free from CHD and worked full time at baseline (1991–1994), were followed until 2002–2004, an average of 11 years. 


The study, adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics showed that 3–4 h overtime work per day was associated with 1.60-fold (95% CI 1.15–2.23) increased risk of incident CHD compared with employees with no overtime work. 


There are 21 independent risk factors for heart disease, and even once these risk factors were adjusted for, the results were largely unchanged.


The study concluded that overtime work is related to increased risk of incident CHD independently of conventional risk factors, and that overtime work adversely affects coronary health.


It seems pretty clear to me from this study, and it also makes a lot of sense, as stress is one of the leading causes of heart disease, and most people who work significant overtime are highly stressed.


Take home points:

1. Try to plan ahead more to avoid running into last minute crises that force you to work overtime.

2. If your boss won't pay you (at LEAST your regular rate... if not time and a half) for your overtime work, now you can at least tell him that you won't do it because it's bad for your health.

3. Always remember that next to not creating the stress in the first place, exercise and a healthy diet is your best way to combat stress.

4. Always pack a cooler to take with you to work each day, and make sure you always have a bit extra in the pack in case you have to stay and work late.  Don't worry, if you're packing healthy foods, you'll auto-regulate how much you should eat each day.


Hope you're heading home early today!

0 I think I Just Threw Up In My Mouth...




Sadly... I have just seen a new evolution in the ever-pathetic pussification of the fitness industry!

People need ways of becoming stronger, not WEAKER!

Getting stronger means applying INCREASED loads to our muscles not DECREASED loads!

A new product is now available that removes the requirement to have any calf or ankle strength when engaging in running and jumping type physical activities.

I couldn't get the video to embed here, but you can watch it by clicking the link below the picture of Mario the Kangaroo:


WATCH MARIO THE KANGAROO!

(warning: try not to vomit)


Points to note in video:

1. Obviously pre-Kangaroo athletically inclined, body built with genetics and weights "Mario the Kangaroo who is demoing the product.

2. Remove Mario the Kangaroo from the video, and how exciting does it look?

3. Note how great of a workout she had at end of video by all the sweat on her, even though she says it was a great workout.

4. Tell me you're going to bounce up stairs like that without risking a good fall? You've got a half moon on the bottom of your foot... not so smart!

5. How much money are you going to let them make off your continued lower limb dysfunction?

It's bad enough you have to pay upwards of $120 for a decent pair of running shoes. So let's double that price and enable you to maintain your puny useless ankles and feet!


But hey, maybe trying it will make you a believer?

So picture this. You'll be wearing these joke Kangaroo Shoes and you'll be out for a jog and you'll notice that you can jog longer than you could before. You'll enjoy it a bit more perhaps. Why? Because your feet and calves won't get as sore.


Great... right?


Well no.. because as the rest of your body is adapting to being able to do more, your poor little calves and ankles are being left behind to rot and wither.


Mainstream fitness doesn't mention much about the importance of lower limb strength because it doesn't sell magazine covers. But if you think about it for just one second.. your calves, ankles, and feet are the one part of you that connects you to the ground.


Just look at how good you are with a sprained ankle. Useless as 3 legged mule!


Hey.. I know... Let's go put a 450 block engine into our little Toyota but screw the tires and suspension... who cares...

Exactly... completely retarded!


"But wait... there's all sorts of studies cited at www.kangaroojumps.com that show how great they are.. "

Are you kidding me?


I didn't bother reading any of the studies, because OBVIOUSLY they're all going to show that people got increases in cardiovascular health with less lower limb injuries.

Duh!

You can take any fat out-of-shape population get them running with Kangaroos and then compare their rate of lower limb injury and obviously they'll have more injuries.


The point is that as any personal trainer, strength and conditioning coach, or fitness instructor/leader or anything similar, your job is to help your clients to become stronger and more functional, NOT LESS!


There is rarely someone who can't develop foot and ankle strength and flexibility sufficient to begin walking and eventually progress to some degree of jogging/running, and along the way, their cardiovascular system will benefit.


When most people don't move around enough to begin with and have withered, weak, feet and ankles, the one thing they DON'T need is to circumvent their situation.


It is rare that you can circumvent a problem in the body without creating another. Just look at what the rise of "low fat" foods has done to our growing epidemic of obesity!


So are there any situations where Kangaroos might be beneficial? Sure! If you've been in an accident and you've completely destroyed your ankle or had the calf muscles torn off the back of your leg, then this could be a very useful MEDICAL device.


But for the rest of you lazy slobs who think this is a great invention... let me save you some money and help you get yourself ready to run again:

1. Get yourself a foam roller and start using it!

2. Back up the foam roller with a once a month trip to see a good, experienced soft-tissue specialist who uses Active Release techniques.

3. Start by walking more. Walk on different types of terrains. Grass, sand, some hills... a little hike.

4. Add in some pace variations. Fast/Slow.. kind of like interval training.

5. Make sure you get lots of barefoot walking in too on softer surfaces.

6. Then maybe, just maybe you might actually go for a few short jogs.

7. Work on some uphill jogs.

8. Add in uphill speed work before distance.


In other words.. gradually stress the structures in your lower limbs and get them strong enough so that if you do want to go for a 5-10km run one day.. you can just throw your NORMAL running shoes on and hit it!


The point I'm trying to make is that todays fitness industry is largely a joke, and these Kangaroo boots are no exception. Everyone in the industry is out to somehow make things easier.

Understand this.. to be strong and fit will take hard work, no matter how you cut it. Don't believe me? That's fine... I couldn't care less. I have no time to try and convince you otherwise.. as there's more than enough people out there who know it takes hard work and are ready to invest in themselves to get strong and in crazy shape!

And for all of you guys who know and understand this...

It's Roo Roastin' Time!


Be Strong,

Shane

P.S. I do believe I mentioned previously how organic grass-fed Kangaroo is one of the best sources of CLA, a potent anti-cancer, anti-heart disease, anti-inflammatory nutrient. If you missed the article, you can read more by clicking the link below.

0 Supersets and Exercise Pairings

I went to visit a client at their gym on the weekend. She was training her bench press, and was really pushing her limits with a 5x5 protocol, so although her first set wasn't an all out effort, by the last few sets, she was definitely seeing stars as she was grinding them out!

I'm there with her, spotting her, and coaching her through her workout, and a guy walks over and introduces himself as a "certified" trainer and proceeds to suggest that her workout would be more efficient if she were to superset a set of bent-over rows in between each set of bench press.

The funniest thing... is that I saw this guy coming from the other side of the gym, and I knew exactly what was going to happen... and I was right.

So first, before I say whether he had a good suggestion, I seriously doubt he could bench press 5x5x125 which is what my client was doing. This guy barely had any facial hair let alone any muscle on his frame.

That said, I can't be upset with him, as I used to do that all the time. Yep.. I was the annoying kid who had to teach everyone everything I learned the moment I learned it.

It all comes down to perspective. When you're young, when you learn something, you think the world should know it, and that they probably don't already know it.

So did he have a good suggestion?

It really depends on the goals of the training session. If "Jill" was doing 5x5x125 and her 1RM was 155, making her 5x5x125 at 80% 1RM, as was the case, then I would say no. But if Jill's 1RM was 175, then she's training at around 70%, which means her 5x5x125 would not be too taxing.

In other words, if the weights you're going to be lifting are going to be close to your limits for a given repetition range, you don't want to superset other exercises in as it will interfere with your ability to give 100% effort to the exercise you're trying to focus on.

High CNS involvement multi-joint-compound movements take way more out of you than other less demanding exercises, so pairing them up isn't always a good idea.

The main key is to decide what your main purpose is for the exercise. If you want your bench to go up.. then you don't want to be supersetting it with another exercise. But if your goal is just general strength and overall conditioning, and getting more weight on that bar Goddamnit.. is NOT the end all be all for you, then you can superset with another exercise.

Good Exercise Pairings

Vertical Push + Vertical Pull
ex: Military Press + Wide Grip Pull-ups

Horizontal Push + Horizontal Pull
ex: Bench Press + Inverted Rows


Vertical Push + Horizontal Pull
ex: 1-DB Push Press + Bent-Over Dumbbell Rows

Horizontal Push + Vertical Pull
ex: Dips + Chin-Ups

For lower body work, since both squats and deadlifts work both quads and hamstrings it would rarely be advised to superset quad/ham. Instead, and only if maximum strength is not your goal, you could superset another non-competing exercise.

Quad Dominant + (Biceps, shoulders)
Squat + DB Curls or dumbbell shoulder press

Hip Dominant + (Chest, shoulders, triceps)
Deadlifts + Pushups, Military Press, DB Tricep Extensions


There are many options, but these are just some.

Always bear in mind your goals, and construct your program with pairings that are suitable if any.

If you have any questions or comments about this post, I'd love to hear about it in the comments section below.

0 Low Back Pain Solution

Is this YOU at any point of your day?





Any solution for low back pain must of course fit the cause of the pain, of which there are many. But a common cause of low back pain is excessive lumbar flexion when bending forward. There are cases where some people have tremendous lumbar flexion without problems, but just because they can, doesn't mean you can or should even try.

Don't Try This
Just Because Some Other Silly Twat Can Do It!


When you have to bend over for whatever reason, you should be trying to get as much movement at your hips, otherwise you your lumbar spine usually takes up the slack.

This is tough for many simply because the mechanics of flexing at the hip are unfamiliar. An excellent exercise to help develop good posterior chain strength and good hip flexion/extension mechanics is the 45 degree back extension.

The 45 degree back extension is also good for those who are not strong enough to do normal flat back extensions.

Key Technique Points:

1. Maintain neutral arch throughout movement.

2. Brace abdominals firmly throughout.

3. Pull into top position with glutes, not lower back.

4. Avoid lumbar flexion on descent.

5. Mental focus should be on maintaining rigid torso through abdominal bracing and moving only at the hips.


Progressions for 45 Degree Back Extensions

1. Add external resistance using dumbbells, barbell across shoulders, or plates at your chest.

2. Use accommodating resistance such as bands or chains.

3. Use one leg only. (this provides additional benefit due to additional torque from rotational forces which must be resisted - this is an advanced technique)

4. Reduce rest between sets.


VIDEO: 45 Degree Back Extensions




Other Considerations:

If your hamstrings are too tight or too short, your range of motion may be very short forcing you to round your back to make much of a descent. If this is the case, resist the urge to go deep, and only do the range of motion possible with the neural lumbar arch. And of course, a good deal of hamstring stretching is on order as well.

0 IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Dennis Tinerino Passes Away

Dennis Tinerino, a four-time Mr. Universe, Mr. America, and Hall of Fame Bodybuilder who went on to become a Christian evangelist with a worldwide ministry, has died. He was 64.


Tinerino died Friday morning May 7 at Northridge Community Hospital in Northridge, California after an 18-month battle with stomach cancer.

Dennis Tinerino was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York on December 23, 1945, the second son of third-generation Italian-American parents. His family moved to Brownsville, Brooklyn when Dennis was eight years old. His father Carmine was a dockworker and Golden Gloves boxer who took Dennis to his first workouts at the Brooklyn Central YMCA when Dennis was 12 years old.

The legendary bodybuilder won his first title as Mr. Brooklyn in 1964. He followed that up with 11 additional titles, including Mr. New York City, and Mr. America in 1967. After winning Mr. America, he competed in the 1967 Mr. Universe, finishing in second place to an up and coming Arnold Schwarzenegger. He came back to win the NABBA Mr. Universe title in England in 1968. Three more Mr. Universe titles followed in 1975, 1980 and 1981. Tinerino also won the title of Pro Mr. Natural America in 1978.

A regular competitor in the Mr. Olympia contests from 1977 through 1982, his highest finish was second in the heavyweight division in 1979. Throughout his career, Tinerino graced the cover of dozens of bodybuilding and fitness magazines, including Muscle & Fitness, Muscular Development, Iron Man, and Strength & Health. He was also featured in many fitness and training ads, and authored his own weight training manuals.

Tinerino was mentored by bodybuilding legends Bill Pearl and Joe Abbenda. He competed against some of the top name bodybuilders in the golden age of the sport, including Reg Park, Dave Draper, Sergio Oliva, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, Franco Columbu and Frank Zane. Best known for his door wide shoulders and washboard abs, “Dennis was one of the best bodybuilders of his era. His blend of size and shape was a classic combination that took him to Mr. America, Mr. World and Mr. Universe” according to Joe Weider, the “Father of Bodybuilding” and founder of the IFBB (International Federation of Body Building.)

Among other career accomplishments, Tinerino was named to several Halls of Fame, including the AAU Hall of Fame, the Italian American Sports Hall of Fame, the Oldetime Barbell & Strongmen Hall of Fame, the National Fitness Hall of Fame, and in 2006, the IFBB Body Building Hall of Fame.

In 1970 Dennis met and married the love of his life, Anita Conti and together they appeared on the December 1971 cover of Strength & Health Magazine. They moved from Queens, New York to California in 1974 and had three children, Tara, Marissa and Dennis-John.

A SAG actor, Tinerino had several roles in TV commercials and movies, including “Hercules in New York,” with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

After undergoing a spiritual conversion in 1979, Dennis became an ordained Christian minister and founded Dennis Tinerino Ministries. He traveled the world and preached in dozens of countries including England, Italy, Greece, Japan and Australia, as well as throughout the United States.

He was associated with such well-known evangelists as Dr. Jerry Savelle, Pastor Ray McCauley, and Rodney Howard-Browne. Dennis often humorously referred to himself as “The Sermonator” a reference to his long time rival and friend, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was known as “The Terminator” and most recently “The Governator.”

Tinerino’s life and spiritual journey are documented in his autobiography, “Super Size Your Faith,” which was published in 2006.

Along the way Tinerino’s testimony and preaching touched millions of lives around the world. He was loved and respected throughout the Christian community. A big man with a big heart, he was known for his larger-than-life, joyous and fun personality.

Tinerino is survived by his wife Anita, two daughters, Tara and Marissa, son Dennis-John, son-in-law Eli Flora, parents Carmine and Mary, brothers Salvatore and Laurence, nieces Andrea Tinerino McMahon and Ilona Tinerino-Allen, and nephews Vincent and Jared.
