Introduction

Hello Everyone!!



Firstly let's get the excuse of being "too old" to get in shape out of the way.
For me my birthday is just a date on a calender as i have competed for over a decade against competitors half my age. How you might ask? By having the knowledge of how the body functions and just as importantly how to get the most out of your workouts, i will pass on my wisdom & tips to you my fellow bloggers and followers.

The "Key"(s) to exercise is having a variety. First not allowing the task to become boring and/or cumbersome as you must keep the brain guessing thus eliminating the plateau effect. Also when changes are not immediate one tends to become frustrated and feels like quitting, so we are going to change this with the blog to keep the routines far from boring and productive.

Secondly i will pass on knowledge regarding nutrition and water which is critical. You can work out all you want but remember what you do during exercise is tearing down the muscle and if you don't repair and hydrate you are just wasting your time, this aspect is probably 60%+ of the equation to a healthy body

Within the continuation of this blog, I will show you how to improve your health, change your shape and improve your game.... from the serious athlete to the weekend warrior. There will be video's of weight bearing exercises per body part and routines that everyone can fit in to their schedule and lifestyle no matter how hectic it is.

And remember, there is no point in having an empire if you are not around to enjoy it. Your body is a temple!


Yours in Fitness,

Usage of Steroids

Through the media this subject has become so mainstream that it is to the point of acceptance, case in point....I've spoken in many high schools about being a pro-natural athlete and the question that comes up that most from the students is that they believe to get to a certain level you need to “enhance”. Well I say NO, as i have proven over my career that it can be done naturally and safely. You just need to learn how the body works with training methods, nutrition and water intake. Don't we want to extend life not shorten it?   to be blunt.....using steroids can kill.  Think about it, how many Pro Athletes have died way too young from health complications which is strange given you would think at that level everything should be working top notch. Basically anything that goes into your body is filtered through the liver, so a lot of users end up on dialysis, or fries your immune system, dilates the blood vessels, etc. So if you're a concerned parent, relative or friend.... here are the signs of abuse.

A) The skin takes on a reddish glow, as steroids will cause water retention which raises blood pressure.

B) The upper back has acne.

C) The skull will increase in size when on HGH ( human growth hormone)

D) You'll see stretch marks as the muscle grows faster than the skin ( Which is your biggest organ)

E) The shoulders, chest, biceps and triceps grows faster than your lower body.

F) Abs will have less body fat even thou your adding muscle and size

G) Tendons and ligaments are weakened ( again the muscle is growing faster than the support structure)

H) Mood swings.....it will highlight whatever personality you are.
