The scientists used a procedure
called deep brain stimulation, a common treatment typically used on people with
Parkinson’s disease and
obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The neurostimulator works like
a pacemaker. It sends electrical impulses through a wire straight to the
targeted area in the brain.
After two years of treatment,
one subject’s blood pressure, whose systolic score
started at 320 mm/Hg, dropped to over 150 points.
In theory, if scientists can
identify the area of your brain responsible for your disease or its symptoms,
they can target it with deep brain stimulation.
This is yet more proof that high blood
pressure is caused by some kind of stress – and that stress can be managed by your brain.
Natural Cure for High
Blood Pressure -This Vegetable Lowers Blood Pressure by 11 Points
There’s nothing worse than
swallowing a cocktail of pills to try and control your high blood pressure only to
find out they’re not as effective as doctors once said.
Let’s also not forget the
plethora of dangerous side effects that come with them.
But new research carried out by
scientists at Queen Mary University in London states that the answer to lowering your blood pressure by a whopping
11 points naturally lies in your salad.
Researchers have stated that
there are certain types of vegetables that contain a natural chemical that controls high blood pressure.
The study involved 15
participants – 8 women and 7 men – all of whom suffered from systolic high blood pressure ranging from 140 to
159mm Hg. They were not suffering from complications as a result of their
condition nor were they on blood pressure medications.
After drinking a glass of
nitrate-containing water or beetroot juice, the participants’ blood pressure was taken, and the results
were astounding – there was a whopping 11.2 mmHg decrease on average. The
biggest drop was measured after 3-6 hours, but it was still significantly lower
than the baseline after 24 hours. Thus, proving the hypothesis – optimal
choices in diet and lifestyle can positively affect blood pressure.
The amount of nitrate used in
the study was equal to consuming either two beets or a bowl of lettuce, showing
that just ONE meal high in nitrate is enough to lower your blood pressure.
Remember, when it comes to high
nitrate foods, you aren’t limited to beetroot – you can also eat carrots, fennel,
lettuce, radishes, cabbage, spinach, or green beans for the same results.
Natural Cure for High
Blood Pressure - This Natural Resource Cures High Blood Pressure
Forget the awful and endless
side effects conventional blood pressure drugs cause, there’s
something even more shocking about them – in most cases they don’t even work
and fail to reduce
blood pressure to a healthy level, leading us to believe that
doctors have been misleading us this whole time.
But could it be that a cure to high blood pressure has been
staring us in our faces this whole time? Could it be we’ve been taking these
dangerous drugs in vain?
Apparently so according to new
research released from Sao Paulo University in Brazil that states there’s a
readily natural resource that can help us.
The study included 32 male and
female participants, all of whom continued to experience high blood pressure above 90/140
mm Hg despite trying out three different medications.
They were split into two
groups. One group did normal exercise routines while the other group was
prescribed a ‘hot aquarobics’ treatment three times a week in water heated to
about 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius).
Throughout the study, they
continued taking their medication.
The people that didn’t
experience a drop in blood pressure even though they
took prescribed drugs all responded positively when they did aquarobics in warm
water.
For this to be effective, the
water should be considerably warm. Water at around 27 degrees Celsius or lower
was found to be less effective. The heat of the water causes blood vessels to
expand lightly, allowing blood to flow more freely, thus bringing down blood pressure.

that has been recognized as one of the top-quality national health information
websites.
This program will
provide you the natural high blood pressure treatments, natural recipes to cook
healthy meals and useful strategies to build a healthy diet with the aim to
help you to maintain, stabilize and get your blood pressure down in minutes
permanently and naturally.
Natural Method to Cure
Erectile Dysfunction Permanently - New ED Study Reveals Bigger is NOT Better
for Men
People have often said “the
bigger the better”, but this is not always the case for men with ED.
According to research published
in the journal Medical
Archives there is one body part that grows in men as they get
older, which negatively impacts their ED even more.
And since this condition,
according to The National
Kidney and Urological Disease Information Clearinghouse, affects
half of the men over the age of 60 and a whopping 90 percent of men over 80, it
should be a big deal.
Urine and semen have to flow
through the urethra in your penis before they can exit the body. But as you get
older, these seemingly simple everyday acts become more difficult because your
prostate glands multiply, causing swelling in the urethra. As a result, the
urethra narrows, making it difficult for urine and semen to pass through.
And because your bladder never
empties completely, and because it contracts, you always feel like you need to
urinate.
Researchers gave participants
the five-question version of the International Index of Erectile Function scale
(or IIEF) to assess their level of ED.
The higher your score on the
IIEF, the better your sexual function and the lower your score, the worse it
is.
They found the larger a man’s
prostate, the worse his score was.
Because the prostate produces
semen, it’s always been thought that if it’s “bigger”, it produces more semen –
the study found this not to be true – what matters is how easily the blood
flows through it.
Natural Method to Cure
Erectile Dysfunction Permanently - Suffer ED? Be Aware of “All Natural”
Remedies
If you take over-the-counter
treatments for ED you may be
getting more than you bargained for, according to the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA).
In fact, these “natural
remedies” maybe even more dangerous than prescription medications and could
land you in the emergency room or dead after just one dose.
Random testing of ED supplements touted as “natural” and
“herbal” has revealed that many are laced with common pharmaceutical ED drugs, including Viagra, Cialis and
Levitra.
ED Drugs and Their
Cousins
Even more disconcerting is that
chemical manufacturers are producing dozens of close chemical variants of these
drugs, almost none of which have gone through any sort of safety testing, and
if they have, there’s a chance they were scrapped during development by
reputable drug companies due to safety concerns.
Because of lack of oversight by
the FDA for products sold as over-the-counter supplements, unscrupulous
manufacturers are able to sneak these drugs into their products without
disclosing the active ingredients.
Side Effects and
Complications
In some instances, the supplements
have been found to contain higher than the recommended doses of the
pharmaceutical drugs. When taken improperly, these drugs can cause potentially
severe or fatal reactions, including blood pressure fluctuations, passing out,
and even stroke. Men who take prescription drugs to manage high blood pressure or heart disease are especially vulnerable to
adverse drug interactions from taking the pharmaceutical-laced supplements.
Additionally, if you
unknowingly take a supplement that contains one of these drugs and then take
other drugs or over-the-counter products such as alcohol, aspirin, allergy
medications, antibiotics, antidepressants, Parkinson’s drugs and others, the
dangers are compounded. For Viagra alone there are more than 450 drugs known to
cause potential adverse reactions.
These drug-supplement cocktails
have also been known to contain a diabetes drug that can be fatal if used
improperly. In fact, as recently as 2009 in Asia, one of these products claimed
the lives of over a dozen men.
What to Look Out For
Most of the tainted supplements
are manufactured in China. With thousands of marketing companies and only 6
prosecutions so far, the FDA is doing almost nothing to stop the unscrupulous
marketing companies except to issue warnings to consumers.
While it is not possible to
know if a supplement contains illicit ingredients, the FDA offers a list of worst
offenders. For the sake of your health it is best to avoid taking any of the
following types of products:
• Anything that claims to be a
natural alternative to a prescription drug.
• Supplements that promise results within 30 minutes.
• Contain warnings in language similar to those seen on FDA-approved products.
• Products that are sold in convenience stores or in single-serving packages.
• Product ads that are sent as spam email.
• Products that have labels in foreign languages.
Natural Method to Cure
Erectile Dysfunction Permanently - 7 Natural ED Substances That Work Better
Than Medications
You don’t want to exchange your
ED for liver disease, kidney disease, or
other consequences of toxic drugs, do you?
So instead, why not rid
yourself of ED, using natural, plant-derived substances
that cause no side effects. Because they work better than drugs.
The best part, they’re all
available in your local health foods store.
While there is nowhere near as
much evidence for the effectiveness of these substances as for Sildenafil
(brand name Viagra), many scientists have verified that they are effective
against ED and cause no side effects.
Remember that ED has many causes, so if one substance
does not work for you, try another.
1. Pomegranate juice, blueberry juice,
cranberry juice, and even red wine (if the alcohol doesn’t
spoil the effect) may promote your erection because of their
antioxidant effects. Some experts believe that oxidative stress plays a role in
the inability of smooth muscle to relax.
A research team under. Dr.
Kazem M. Azadzoi at the Boston Veterans Affairs Medical Center proved that
these substances worked for rabbits with ED, and when researchers later tested it on
people, as published in the International
Journal of Impotence Research, they concluded that more men
benefited from pomegranate juice than from other juices.
2. Korean red ginseng has
even more research behind it, but the reasons why it works still remain a
mystery. In a scientific literature review published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology,
the authors concluded that the majority of the seven studies they surveyed showed
that it was effective to treat ED.
3. Yohimbine from the
bark of the Pausinystalia yohimbe tree is commonly used as a fat burner, a
stimulant, and an ED treatment. In a systematic review of the
literature that appeared in 1998 edition of the journal Clinical Urology, University
of Exeter academics found that most of the seven properly scientifically
controlled studies they surveyed proved that it could restore the ability of men to have successful erections.
4. Pinus pinaster is
derived from the bark of the pine tree. One brand-name supplement that is based
on it is pycnogenol. Several small studies have found that it can boost nitric
oxide, antioxidant activity, and improve cholesterol and other
cardiovascular markers, and thereby improve your ability to have and keep an erection. One such study appeared
in the journal Nutrition
Research in 2003.
5. L-Arginine is an
essential amino acid, a building block of protein. It improves your nitric
oxide levels that can resolve ED. In one study, 40 percent of men
benefited from an L-arginine supplement alone, but in a more impressive one,
92.5 percent benefited after three months of taking pycnogenol and L-Arginine
together. The studies were published in the International Journal of Impotence and
the Journal of Sex and
Marital Therapy, respectively. Both are available as commercial
supplements.
6. Ginkgo biloba has
been found to be 84 percent effective at helping men whose erectile dysfunction
is caused by antidepressants, as a study in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy concluded
in 1998.
7. Maca is a root
vegetable that helps rats and mice with erectile dysfunction. The only study
conducted on humans, published in Andrologia, was promising. You can obtain it
as a dry powder supplement.
This post is from the
Erectile Dysfunction Master Program, which was created by Christian Goodman for
men who are looking for the best erectile dysfunction natural remedies.This is an all-natural system that utilizes
the power of exercises to permanently cure erectile dysfunction. By following
the techniques in this program, you will be able to get hard fast without pills
and maintain stronger erections for hours so you can enjoy sex again.
Erectile problems can
be physical or emotional. If your problem is physical, you need to exercise the
muscles around the genital area. If your problem is emotional, then you need to
learn relaxation techniques. Erection Master will teach you steps that can help
get rid of your erectile dysfunction for good. As long as you're willing to
commit 30 minutes of your time, 3 to 7 days a week for 1 to 2 months, they'll
work for you. You can practice the steps alone or with your partner.
These techniques are
far more effective than Viagra, Cialis or other drugs for erectile dysfunction.
The drugs only help about 40% of men who use them and can also cause very
serious side effects.
“Deep down, it felt
counter-intuitive to stop doing something that I thought about daily. The
reality too is that my bikini comp journey inspired more women to pick up a weight than me
preaching hard about the beneficial endocrine response.”
Name: Danette “Diz” Rivera
Occupation: Personal Trainer and Lead Coach at CrossFit Los Angeles
Location: Santa Monica, CA
Age: 48
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 138 (competition weight: 130)
Type of Training: CrossFit and bodybuilding
Over 12 years ago, after I shut
down a business I owned, I proceeded to participate in an emotional escapade I
like to call The Holiday Gorge of 2003.
I ate everything in sight from
Thanksgiving to the Epiphany. It wasn’t pretty, and when all was said and
eaten, I felt like living hell.
I had been a semiconductor
broker, which was impossibly volatile and stressful like a constant kick in the
guts, so when I took my next job, I wanted something as far from that as
possible. I became a cashier at a health food store.
“Every day from my
register, I stared at the produce section, which was illuminated like a stage
by hanging halogen lights. I thought, ‘This is what perfection looks
like.’”
I knew fresh food had to be
part of my healing and ultimately, my plan for optimal health. A few of the
young cashiers I worked with were vegan. I asked a ton of questions and
decided to try being vegan for one month.
Though I went cold-turkey vegan then, I had been weaning off animal
products most of my life.
In 1980, at age 13, I stopped
eating red meat, a choice made from a very limited knowledge I had of the meat
industry then. Foods like chicken, fish, eggs, and milk were already a bit
gross to me. Eating vegan, even in the beginning, never
felt difficult. It felt natural and right. I didn’t feel depraved.
During that first month, as
I felt increasingly better physically and mentally, I read in detail
about the ethical side of being vegan. When I learned exactly how
living beings were treated for overproduction and overconsumption, my stomach
hurt. My heart hurt. That month, February 2004, became a lifelong dedication.
“Though I’ve never had a
desire to go back, my advice to those starting on a vegan (or simply a more meatless) journey is to explore the science,
read up on anecdotes, and then put on your own lab coat to find what works best
for you.”
There are so many vegan options
now, and there are many philosophies within being vegan; it will be hard not to find
something that fits you personally.
Q: Staple vegan
post-workout meal:
Immediately after I workout, I
usually have a scoop and a half of chocolate Plant Fusion protein powder with coconut water. The
first meal I eat after I workout is usually lunch. Sometimes, I’ll have a huge
salad with lentils or riced cauliflower with black beans.
Today, I had a baked sweet
potato with a Field Roast Apple Sage Vegan Sausage with greens thrown on top.
Yum!
Q: Tell us about
CrossFit Los Angeles and your role there.
I’ve been a lead, full-time
coach at CFLA for over three years.
I coach eight classes a week,
including the Women’s Program, which are amazing classes created to provide a
safe environment for women to be true to the athlete they are in the exact
moment, no matter the level.
I’m dedicated to the
empowerment of these athletes. I also have about 12-15 private clients.
What I love about CFLA is that
because we’ve been around 11 years (the ninth CrossFit gym to open), we’ve
evolved a lot.
Though the basic principles of
CrossFit are still pretty spot-on, the way CFLA executes them is relatively
different.
We don’t throw clients against
the wall every workout in typical CrossFit fashion.
“We ‘practice’ the majority
of time: honing technique, working strength, and staying at – or under – 85
percent perceived rate of exertion.”
Believe me, we still get a
great workout on practice days, and we definitely have competition days too,
but we’ve found this type of training is more sustainable mentally and
physically.
It’s the brainchild of our head
coach and CFLA owner, Kenny Kane. He calls it Contextual Training. I think it’s
brilliant, and it works amazingly for our everyday-athlete clientele.
I just began training for my
second Bikini Bodybuilding competition, so though
I still do CrossFit about three days a week, I’ve now incorporated more
isolated bodybuilding work. I do a couple days of
cardio, which I love, and I do yoga
once a week.
Mainly, I love the grind of
training. It’s my meditation. Training is my house of discovery. I feel I
can explore the entire universe within the context of movement.
Q: Favorite Three
Exercise/Movements:
1. Weighted Glute
Bridges. I
started these when training for my first bikini comp last year to build bigger,
stronger glutes, but what I discovered is that stronger glutes meant I got
better at everything else physically: CrossFit, running, and so on. I also
realized with my clients that most everyone’s glutes could be stronger.
2. Snatch. I am a relatively weak static
lifter, but the dynamic lifting takes more coordination and trust, really,
which are more my strengths. I’m not breaking records by any means, but I
really enjoy the rhythm of Olympic lifting.
3. Double Unders. Again, the rhythm thing. Double
unders are a perfect balance of tension and relaxation and finding a rhythm.
Q: Favorite Three Forms
of Exercise:
1. CrossFit (How CFLA does it!). I love the
variety. I love my community. I love the mental-toughness aspect.
2. Isolated bodybuilding. I
love the solitude and dedication this takes. I feel incredibly empowered
lifting this way.
3. Riding my bike. Though, I really don’t think of
this as exercise; I think of this as a way to commute. Also, being on my bike
is pure joy to me.
Q: Tell me a story of
the mentor who played a key role in building confidence in yourself.
I’ve definitely experienced
glimpses of encouragement and interactions with amazing people throughout my
life, but I’d have to say that I’ve been my own best mentor.
“I’ve had to rely on my gut
instincts even when they didn’t seem popular or when the road seemed
difficult.”
I’ve had to shake off mistakes,
and bob and weave through a lot of bullshit, and fall down, and crawl, and get
back up, and get angry, then let it go. And forgive – myself, mainly. But I
never gave up hope in myself. I still haven’t.
I found that after all the hurt
and knock-downs, if you can still be kind to yourself and be your own best
caretaker and best cheerleader, nothing can really touch you. Nothing builds
confidence more than that.
Q: What would your
friends/colleagues say you’re really good at?
I think my colleagues would say
that I’m nurturing but still kind of a hard-ass. My clients would say that I’m
really good at connecting to them personally and that I have the ability to
hone in on what they need in the exact moment.
Q: What unpopular
opinions do you hold?
“Currently, I’m exploring
the contrast of how my feminism works within the world of bikini bodybuilding. I’ve had a lot of inner conflict about
it, honestly, and had some pushback during my last competition, like what I was
doing was antifeminist.”
That pushback felt oddly
familiar, though historically, the pushback and the tsk-tsking came from
conservative sources, not the radical ones!
I was taken aback, frankly, and
suddenly, I felt embarrassed that I had enjoyed it all so much.
Last year, I decided not to
compete again. Yet, I continued to think about it every day. I missed
the training. I missed the dedication. I missed how invincible I felt from
lifting that much.
I missed working toward a
muscular and athletic aesthetic even though I was still conflicted about the
pageantry of the actual competitions and the subjectiveness of judging.
“Why was I so into a sport
that is based on aesthetics instead of performance? I’m still not sure.”
Getting on stage – with the tan
and the heels and the hair and the makeup and the harder-than-it-looks posing –
is only a fraction of the whole process, and as odd as that felt at times, I
dug the glamour aspects, too. Then I thought, fuck it. Eff anyone who has
something to say.
Deep down, it felt
counter-intuitive to stop doing something that I thought about daily. The
reality too is that my bikini comp journey inspired more women to
pick up a weight than me preaching hard about the beneficial endocrine
response.
Lastly, I realized, like
anything else, my decisions and my feminism are not up for debate. I do what I
like. Anyway, it’s been interesting sorting through all these complicated
issues that have come up during the process, and I look forward to writing more
in-depth about it in 2016.
Q: What have you changed
your mind about in past 10 years?
I’ve finally realized that
judgment is the worst kind of poison. And I’m done with it, man, as much as I
can consciously be aware.
I wondered why I saw the same
exact behaviors and attitudes toward women that I experienced when I was
younger still existing for girls and young women my daughters’ ages, even if
certain forms of it have shifted.
“We still get judged
constantly by the usual suspects, but why are many women still so shitty to
each other? And I realized that we’re all trained to judge women no matter
what.”
We’re all too something or the
other, and it doesn’t even matter what side of the cause we’re on: if you’re a
rebel or conservative, some woman is doing something wrong somewhere, in any
sector, in any culture, the fitness world being right up there at the top.
“I’m sick of the bulky
conversation and the thin conversation and the thick conversation.”
I’m done with the fact that
what we do with our bodies is constantly up for debate. And don’t get me
started on our own systematic levels of self-judgment. I don’t let other women,
especially my clients, talk shit on themselves around me. That conversation is
tired and dated.
I make one client do five
burpees any time she starts in on herself. She did a lot of burpees in the
beginning, but now the story she tells herself is starting to change. The
ridiculousness of not holding oneself in the highest regard is starting to
become apparent to her. Anyway, I renounce judgment to the best of my current
ability; I reject it all now.
Q: Fun fact most people
don’t know about you?
In the early 90s, I was hired
to be a dancer in the movie “The Mambo Kings.” I turned down the role
because I was working three jobs then, and filming would be “indefinite.” It’s
my only regret in life.
Q: What three pearls of
wisdom would you tell your 18-year-old self?
Since I’m raising daughters 20
and 16 years old, I’m dolling out those pearls left and right!
Everything I say to them, I
would tell my 18-year-old self – as well as repeat to my 48-year-old self.
The main things:
1. Always trust your
gut, in good and bad situations. Barge
ahead when your instincts say “Love!” no matter what others say. And bail the
eff out when your gut says “Whoa – no.”
2. Don’t let anyone
squash your power. Not
a boy/man/partner, not critics, not friends or family. That’s not to say don’t
express kindness, compassion, love, generosity, humility, gratitude. We do
these things because they are beautiful, human qualities, not because it is our
place as girls/women to be demure and modest and selfless, especially if that’s
not our nature. Be truly you and be a beautiful human, however those two show
up. They can – and do – coexist.
3. You are inherently
worthy. Your
weight, thigh size, the length of your skirt, your hair color does not
determine worth. You’re already great. Now that that’s out of the way, go do
some cool shit that makes you happy, which will probably make the world a
better place.
A
lot of research has been put in this program. Furthermore, a lot of
professional bodybuilders and athletes tried and tested the program, praising
its progressiveness and efficiency.
The
program is about taking control of your own body and health according to your
potential and needs. And worry not; you’ll get plenty of proteins with this
system. It will boost you with energy, and you’ll feel just a strong as any
carnivore would (perhaps even stronger, depending on how much you invest in
your exercise). It avoids vitamins deficiency and provides you with a lot of
proteins, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Instead
of saying things like “I think a plant-based diet is good for athletes and
bodybuilders,” the V3 Vegetarian Bodybuilding System claims “I know a
plant-based diet is good for athletes and bodybuilders, and I have results to
prove it.”
“Around that time I ran
into an old gym buddy who told me about his son that was playing football at a
major Division I school as a vegan with no signs of losing strength or
energy. Once I heard that I decided to try it for 28 days, and by day 10 I was
in love.”
Name: James H. Hatchel, III
Occupation: Personal trainer and online training
City/State/Country: Marietta, Georgia, USA
Age: 30
Height: 6’0″
Type of Competing: Circuit Bodybuilding
Weight: 224 lbs
My hero is Lee Haney. Lee Haney
is my hero for a couple reasons. First obviously his consecutive Mr Olympia
victories are incredible, and the time period when did it was a time when bodybuilding was blossoming into the industry that
it is today.
Secondly, he was the first
Christian Bodybuilder. I used to watch his workout show every morning on TBN as
a youth try to mimic him.
Q: What are your
personal passions outside of fitness?
Self-development and
church-related activities are my other passions. Self-development includes
reading books, getting advice from successful people, and always being willing
to learn. Church activities include community service and going to church.
Church is my first
sanctuary and the gym is my second.
Q: What uncommon
activity do you schedule into your daily routine?
Cartoon time is essential. For
at least twenty minutes a day I like to laugh at mindless entertainment.
I have been exercising since I
was six years old. Some children learn how to play an instrument, some do
flips, I learned how to do perfect push-ups from my father. I read every issue
of Flex magazine during high school trying to figure out how my muscles worked,
what they needed, and most importantly how to make them grow.
I have always had a love for fitness and
exercise. Around 23
years-old I decided I would become a vegan when I was around 45 years old just to
prevent cancer. After my last bodybuilding show I grew to 265 lbs. I wanted to lose the weight with doing hours and hours of cardio.
Around that time, I ran into an
old gym buddy who told me about his son that was playing football at a major
Division I school as a vegan with no signs of losing strength or energy.
Once I heard that I decided to try it for 28 days and by day 10 I was in
love.
Meal 1: 8 ounce
sweet potato, 3 cups of broccoli, 1 cup of brown rice, 2/3 cup of beans
Meal 2: 3 cups of
spinach, 1 cup of avocado, 8 ounce sweet potato, 1 cup of quinoa
Meal 3: 8 ounce
sweet potato, 3 cups of broccoli, 1 cup of brown rice, 2/3 cup of beans
Post-workout
meal: 3 cups of green peas, 1/2 cup of quinoa, 1 cup of brown rice,
1/2 cup of pinto beans
Q: Philosophy on supplements and which ones you take?
Supplements are awesome. I do
not think everyone needs them. I think most people don’t exercise as
frequently, or intense enough, to warrant supplementation. Most people can get
the nutrients they need in sufficient quantity
through whole food.
Athletes such as bodybuilders,
football players, and any person that endures rigorous training may want to
consider taking supplements.
Q: Describe your training
regiment
(favorite exercises, weekly training schedule, etc.):
My training is regimen is compilation of everything
I have learned over my lifetime. I would call it GOE Fitness. GOE Fitness is
high volume and high repetition. My training weekly schedule just changed to:
Sunday: Quads
Monday: Back
Tuesday: Shoulders
Wednesday: Hamstrings
Thursday: Chest
Friday: Arms
I switched training my back to
Monday to see if it will help it grow in density.
“I constantly switch
something about my training and start a new chapter to my training journal.”
Being in the fitness industry, I feel I should know how
theories will affect clients from experience. I would say picking a favorite
exercise is like a mother picking her favorite child. There is no way I could
pick just one. I do have a favorite per muscle group:
Quad-day: Leg
press
Back-day: Pull-ups
Chest-day: Incline
barbell press
Shoulders-day:
Barbell shoulder press
Arms-day: Dumbbell
biceps curl
Hamstring-day:
Lunges
On any given day I will do from
5 to 10 sets of my favorite exercise.
Q: If you have to
pick only three exercises, what would they be?
I would say:
Front lat
pull-down
Incline barbell
bench press
Barbell back
squats
Q: What tips can
you share about your particular method of training?
My method of training goes with
the rhythm of your body. Sometimes your body needs to lift light and double the
repetitions or your body wants double the reps and the sets. GOE Fitness knows
no limits. GOE Fitness is leaving the gym different everyday.
“‘Make progress’ are the
only two words that matter.”
Q: What 3 fundamentals
would you tell a beginner if you were to start training them?
Pick a time to exercise that
fits your regular schedule, not a time that only works when the stars align and
the moon turns into a rainbow (be realistic).
Your goals won’t happen
overnight so try not to get frustrated. All good things come to those that
wait and all better things come to those that work harder than everyone else.
So be patient.
Always be truth seeking.
Everyone has their own fitness journey and strategy that will work for them.
Being truth seeking means to not be afraid to try new methods of exercise and
research new ideas.
Q: What tips can
you share that have led to your success in fitness?
Being consistent is what I
attribute to any amount of success I have had. With exercise I try to only take
one week off a year. For instance, in college I tried to study everyday to keep
the information fresh on my mind. Every study session was not extensive but
served as a quick refresher.
Q: What are the
three biggest trends you see in fitness right now?
Being conscious of
your fitness level is more pervasive between every generation and
socioeconomic status.
The addition of
the Physique category and Bikini category plus increased fitness
consciousness, more people to participate in bodybuilding competitions.
Supplement abuse is growing.
When people that should be real food for their primary source of nutrient
are taking supplements.
Q: What advice do
you have for someone who wants to try a vegetarian diet?
I would tell them to try it for
at least twenty-one days minimum before you make a final decision.
Twenty-one days gives you time to adjust and try an assortment of dishes.
A
lot of research has been put in this program. Furthermore, a lot of
professional bodybuilders and athletes tried and tested the program, praising its
progressiveness and efficiency.
The
program is about taking control of your own body and health according to your
potential and needs. And worry not; you’ll get plenty of proteins with this
system. It will boost you with energy, and you’ll feel just a strong as any
carnivore would (perhaps even stronger, depending on how much you invest in
your exercise). It avoids vitamins deficiency and provides you with a lot of
proteins, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Instead
of saying things like “I think a plant-based diet is good for athletes and
bodybuilders,” the V3 Vegetarian Bodybuilding System claims “I know a
plant-based diet is good for athletes and bodybuilders, and I have results to
prove it.”
