  • Strength Training - Strength training uses resistance and muscular contraction in order to strengthen and build up the size and endurance of skeletal muscles. The most common forms of strength training are isometric training and resistance training, both of which use either gravity or elastic forces to get opposing muscular contractions. Strength training uses three different variants when describing exercises: intensity, volume and frequency. Isometric training is a form of resistance training in which the joint angle and muscle length do not change during a contraction. These exercises are opposed by forces equal to the force output of the muscle, and there is not any increased movement.

  • One of the oldest lies in boxing training workouts. - The most needed and under trained bio motor ability I'm talking about is maximal strength. I'm going to explain briefly why you want to lift heavy weights, and why in fact they won't make you slow as boxing skill trainers religiously believe to be the case. Lifting heavy weights will make you slow is a myth that has been around for many years. This myth doesn't seem to be disappearing anytime soon either. This old myth comes from boxing coaches who never questioned it and who no nothing about strength training for boxers. Ask any coach what is their main goal in training their fighter? Their answer usually is, to make their fighter faster, and more powerful for their upcoming fight The fact of the matter is that most fighters are bloody weak!
  • Strength Traioning for Athletes - Over the past decade, the improvement of performance in sports has been ridiculous. We have sprinters breaking records year after year, women tennis players serving over 100 mph, and running backs that weigh what lineman did 20 years ago, but running under 4.4-second 40-yard dash. What was considered to be un-herd of10 to 20 years ago is a norm today. Why is this? Are human genetics any different than they were in the past?
  • Fat Loss Exercises for Obese Men and Women - Fat Loss Workouts for Obese Men & Women do not have to be long slow cardio workouts. Fat loss for obese people can follow the same strength training and interval training workout guidelines that fat loss for advanced people will follow, but we just need to adjust the exercises and intensity. The principles remain the same. Obese people need to get stronger and use resistance training to build muscle so they can do cardio type events. Most people work backwards, doing lots of cardio first, but that only guarantees an injury. You need to do strength training first to prepare the muscles to be able to handle the repeated stress of cardio training. In a fat loss resistance training workout for obese men and women, we'll use multi-muscle exercises. We'll do them in superset pairs.
  • Well Rounded Strength Training Routine - So you've decided to strength train, but do you have a well rounded strength training routine? There are many books and programs out there that will dispense information, but the bottom line is that you are very unique. Your goals, your fitness level, your experience and your personal strengths and weaknesses all make you unique. The reason I bring this up is because unless you find a program that talks directly to YOU, you will have a hard time finding a routine that works for YOU. You'll need to find well rounded strength training routines (many of them in fact), and healthy meal suggestions. A well rounded strength training routine should include 7 factors. If your routine is missing one of these 7 factors, I strongly recommend find a new program. The 7 factors are: reps, sets, rest, recovery, exercises, pace and change.

  • Russian Martial Art And Kettlebell Training - Russian martial art training and kettlebell training involves elements of strength, flexibility and relaxation. Many would argue that speed and technique should also be included, but given that you have trained in all three of these disciplines, then speed will come naturally. Technique is immaterial: it is related to what you do, not how you do it. Training, on the other hand, is how you do what you do. The what is irrelevant. It is the how that matters. A boxer cares not what a karate student does, but only what he himself does. A man or woman facing opponents is not concerned with what others can do, but only with they do themselves. It is not the ‘what’ but the ‘how’ that matters, and the ‘how’ is related to training, practice and knowledge.
