When ever a person a goal set in place.  Whether it's fitness, family or goals in your career.  If you want to be successful at it, you have to give it everything that you have.  Today, I want to focus mainly on fitness goals.  When it comes to getting in shape or being fit, it's easy to get motivated in the beginning.  We all want to look like that famous man or woman that we see plastered all over the media.  So when we start off we won't miss a beat.  But starting is the easy part.  What happens when you're two months in, and you aren't seeing any results.  What happens when you're 3 months in and you don't feel like going to gym today and you feel like " I'll just make it up tomorrow"? Sounds familiar? I know because I can relate. The simple fact of the matter is that no matter whether you're tired, stressed or unmotivated.  Your body doesn't give a shit, because it doesn't know any difference.  To put it simply, you hav

Bodybuilding Motivation (aesthetic bodybuilding) Today bodybuilding for the most part is seen as a "freak show".  I know it sounds crazy, but I actually mean that in a positive way.  It's still blows my mind to this day when I see a person that is 5'6 be able to have 240 plus pounds shredded on stage.  Because regardless of whether a person is taking steroids or not, it still takes a hell of a lot of work and dedication to accomplish something like that. With saying that, I also believe that there is a downside to looking like a muscular freak.  First and most importantly, it's not healthy.  It doesn't matter whether it's 240 plus pounds of muscle or fat.  On a 5'6 frame, your heart has to work extra hard for your body to function.  In my opinion bodybuilding should represent not on fitness but also health.  Honestly there's nothing healthy about bodybuilding.  Because to compete you have do the same things that the big dawgs are doing.

I'm a strong believer in mastering the basics when it comes to building muscle.  Each of your large body parts have compound movements that you do before even thinking about doing any accessory movements.  If you want to building a big back.  You must these 2 things.  You have to row(dumbbell or barbell) and you have to do deadlifts(full or rack pulls).  Without these two movements you are basically spinning your wheels.  Lat pulls downs aren't going build a dense muscular back.  Yes the machines are helpful the meat and potatoes of your back workouts should be compound movements.

  Whenever I first meet a client, one of the first things that always hear is that I don't have enough time or my schedule doesn't allow me to be able to go to the gym.  To that always call, guess what?  Bullshit.  If you have time to sit for hours on in watching television or play on your cell phone then guess what?  You have time to workout.  It doesn't always have to be in a gym setting.  It can be something as simple as going on a twenty minute walk around the neighborhood.  Or doing some pushups and sit ups in your home.  But for those who actually want to go the gym but don't have a lot of time to spare(which most of us don't).  Here's a quick and effective shoulder workout that you should try: Side lateral and Reverse Flyes:  3to4 sets of 12-15 reps Dumbbell or Military Press:        3to4 sets of 12-15 reps Single arm Reverse Flyes:           3to4 sets of 12-15 reps Super Set Upright Rows                  :            The firs
