Yoga

Yoga. There are a ton of benefits that come from doing yoga. Overall, it is good for your whole body, but there are some key aspects of it that can help when added to your regular fitness routine.

1. After working out, you probably experience soreness and muscle aches. Yoga does very well to help ease the pain, as it stretches your muscles and relaxes your whole body.

2. Most of us these days don't always get enough sleep, or the quality of sleep that we would like. Doing yoga helps you sleep well, and you need sleep for your muscles to have time to recover.

3. Even if you are going for a thick frame and big muscles, it does't hurt to to have some muscle tone, and yoga ensures that you get that tone working for you.

No matter what your fitness goals are, yoga is a very good full body work out that can make you feel better about yourself; give you more self-confidence, which is never a bad thing.

Feel good, look good.

The rep range that we will be doing today is 10,8,5,5. Your first set is going to act as a warm up, throw on some weight you think you can do about 10 times. The next set of 8 reps is where we are going to start to add some weight. Increase the amount of weight you did from 10 reps to where the 8 reps will be pushing you to the max. Make the same jump from your 8 rep to your 5 rep. The last set is gut check time. Add even more weight than your previous 5 rep and get after it for 5 more. Really push yourself, even if you cannot get 5, do your best to challenge yourself and push yourself to the max. What your body can do will really surprise you.

Bench Press- 10,8,5,5

Stubborn Chest?

        If you are like me you may have a stubborn chest that no matter what just doesn't want to grow. Desperate times call for serious action. Try this chest routine and you will spark some growth into your chest!
        In this routine we are going to take serious action in growing your chest muscles. To do that we are going to work your chest in BACK TO BACK days. The first day you will perform isolation moves to prime your chest muscles. Do 16-20 total sets of these isolation moves. Each set should be at least 25 reps, and you should not hit muscle failure on any set. You can to make sure you hit the muscle from at least 4 different angles. Do exercises such as; incline flyes, decline flyes, regular flyes, cable crosses, dumbbell pullovers, ect. Make sure you eat extra protein and carbs this day! It is very important to get extra nutrients.
       On the next day you will come and do presses. You want to do 16-22 sets of 6-10 reps. Focus on exercise such as barbell and dumbbell presses. You can do incline decline and regular of all three of these. Again, make sure you are hitting extra protein and carbs today too. After day two you will want to take a FULL week off from training chest.
       Do these back to back chest days for 4 weeks, then take at least 2 month off from this type of training to make sure you don't overtrain the chest muscles.
       Stayed tuned for more fitness tips and motivation!

Equipment

Is there anything you use to help track your fitness goals? Like an application for your phone or  a monitor of sorts?

I, (Ty), use a FitBit flex, which tracks my steps, calories eaten and burned, and things of that nature. It's nice, because it is an easy way to track fitness goals. 61YRYwYtSJL._SL1500_.jpg

I also use a heart-rate monitor so that I can make sure I am in the best zone for burning fat.

Things of this nature can be very helpful.

Stay awesome!

300

Try this 300 Workout if you are stuck and unsure what you should be doing!

It isn't enough just to eat healthy, or just work out. Do both, and see how amazing you feel!

Be Safe!

It may seem like common sense, but it needs to be said... BE SAFE! 

Safety when lifting is an important thing to remember. Do you have a good grip? Do you have a spotter? What about equipment? is everything in working order?

You should make sure the plates are secure on. The other day I there was a man working out with his girlfriend. Both forgot to secure the plates, and the guy ended up losing the plates on both sides. One landed on the woman's foot, and she had to be rushed to the hospital.
A perfect example of why you need to be careful and double check that you are being safe. If you aren't, you could hurt yourself, or someone else.

If you see someone being unsafe, don't hesitate to say something. It is for their own good.

Be safe and keep lifting!
