Thoughts from the Trenches part 5
May 5th, 2008 · Filed Under: Body Transformation Advice
If you’ve emailed me last week, I will get back to you this week.
Last week was just a little too nuts for me at some points with all
the travel I did.
Before I get to this week’s edition I want to just tell you about a
couple fitness sales going on. Remember, this is just for people
INTERESTED in knowing about them.
If you’re not interested, don’t worry about them.
First, Craig Ballantyne of Turbulence Training is celebrating his
birthday for the next 3 days (if you’re on other fitness pros list,
you’ll probably be getting a lot of emails about it, just a warning).
Anyways, he’s got some great additions he’s added to the package, and
once you’ve bought it once you’ll always get new bonuses for life.
I bought his program last June and since then he’s given out some
pretty sweet bonuses after the fact.
So IF interested go to Turbulence Training.
Second, Mike Geary of Truth About Abs is doing a $4.95 trial offer
on his best selling program.
So IF interested about that go to Truth About Abs.
Alright, let’s get on to the crazy thougths in my head:
- The big Apple Blossom Festival happened this week in Winchester.
Jerry Rice was even here. Anyways, you know what the snack of choice
was? FRIED OREOS….I’m pretty sure I saw a few people grab their
chest immediately after scarfing them down.
- I was at a baseball tryout with a pro team on Tuesday and our warm
up was all static stretching. I guess I just assumed the industry
was a lot farther along. I had to re-warmup right after our supposed
warm up.
- A guy at the high school came up to me the other day frustrated as
to why he’s only lost 10 pounds in 4 weeks. I’m pretty sure I hate
The Biggest Loser for putting this crazy weight loss crap in people’s
heads.
- The best part about my job, changing people’s lives.
- I promised you the 100 Calorie Snack report last week. Here’s the
download link: 100 Calorie Report by Jayson Hunter
- I have a list of exercises that are pretty much always found in
my programs. One of them is the pull-ups. They are far more better
for you then pulldowns. If you can’t do a regular pullup then try a
horizontal pullup.
*Set the barbell at a height, typically a touch about your waist level.
Then lay underneath the bar and grab so you’re hanging with just your
heels are touching the floor (or bend your legs and have the soles
of your feet touching for beginners). The pull your chest to the bar
as many times as you can.*
- I may repeat myself quite abit but it’s only because I’ve found that
people just don’t get things right away sometimes. It takes constant
reminding and teaching.
- quote of the week: “Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what
you’re up to.”
- I understand that fat loss training can seem complicated at times,
but the best way to learn is by doing. So go out and try to figure
out what works for you. You don’t have to follow what everybody else
is doing. You can get in great shape in about 15 minutes, 3-4 times
a week. I wrote an article about it at The Soko.
Here’s the link to it: http://thesoko.com/thesoko/content.html?name=News&file=article&sid=1710
Have a great week,
Dan Grant
