If you aren't a fan of pro wrestling or checking MMA news releases, the man with the towering traps called it quits from his stint in mixed martial arts and is back in the WWE. But if you're reading this you likely care less about his use of them (in the ring/octagon) and more about he's managed to develop those muscles to the freakish degree they are.
As you know; I'm a big believer in the effectiveness of what I call "ATHLEAN Burst" Training when it comes to burning fat fast and still maintaining hard earned muscle. With a combination of lower body strength, power, endurance and heart, this fat burning workout of the week may be my most challenging yet. Think you can handle it?
One of the fastest ways to find yourself out of the gym and on the shelf is with an injury that just makes it flat out impossible to train. Sure, we've all probably tried to train around an injury before only to make it worse and wind up costing ourselves even more days in the long run. How are you supposed to know if you should rest it or push it? Let's find out...
I must get the question sent to me at least 15 times a week. "Jeff...am I too old to start ATHLEAN-X Training?" It's a fair question. After all, in our society people have been made to feel that your aging is a form of a death sentence for crying out loud. What's that? You turned 40?!? Time to start picking out a casket!
One of the hardest exercises you can do for your lower body is the pistol squat. This one legged exercise requires a combination of balance, enormous glute strength and the ability to reverse momentum at the drop of a hat and go from a controlled descent into an explosive ascent! Due to the high demands of this exercise most people just skip it...BIG MISTAKE!
