Eccentric Contraction Focusing on The Negative Movement

2013-05-15T02:05:00.000-04:00

Many people in the gym focus on the concentric part of a movement during an exercise. The concentric part also known as the positive is where you lift the weight up. However we often neglect the eccentric phase of an exercise or the negative part of the movement bring it back down. Some studies say the negative part causes the most muscle growth others disagree. I share my own personal experience with this topic.

Eating Organic Does Not Mean You Are Eating Healthy

2013-05-09T02:00:00.000-04:00

Far too many people are under the misconception that all they have to do to eat healthy is eat organic. This couldn't be farther from the truth. Just because you eat organic does not mean you are eating healthy. To eat healthy you need to have a healthy diet and not eat a bunch of junk food, organic junk food is still junk food. Wake up you delusional organic folks eating ice cream and pork rinds, enjoy the rant =)

2013-03-29T00:53:00.000-04:00

To Train to Failure or Not to Train to Failure PT1

2013-03-12T23:20:00.001-04:00

Not the kind of failure in the picture. That kind of training is called training stupid. Should you train to failure with your weight lifting in the gym or should you stick to a high volume routine that is the question.

A video an inspired friend made of me exercising

2013-02-01T16:14:00.001-05:00

I feel honored to know that my love of fitness has inspired many of my family and friends to get into exercise. One of my friends was so inspired he wanted make a video of me training. All the shots except for the first one which was my last set on my last exercise were taken after I finished a grueling workout so I was pretty exhausted. This does not depict how I train this was merely for fun and art.

Introducing Half Hour Mini Circuits

2012-11-30T15:32:00.003-05:00

Due to popular demand I will be offering half hour sessions however they are a little different to the full hour session. They will be random high intensity circuits that I've designed to get the heart pumping. (These mini circuits are not customized to the individual and will not involve heavy resistance training. They shall always be random and never the same) They are tiny but pack a punch.

I will no longer be posting transformation articles about my clients sucess

2012-09-23T15:36:00.000-04:00

Do to overwhelming success of my clients transforming themselves. I'm not able to keep up with all my clients as they transform themselves to write a special article about them. It was something I enjoyed doing because I was proud of them. I'm so backed up with work that by the time I get to write an article the nostalgia would have already worn off.

So I'm taking down the transformation page. I however will be posting you on Facebook still and have another little surprise coming soon for all my successful clients whom have made dramatic transformations. Keep up the great work guy I'm proud of each and everyone of you and it's been a pleasure helping you achieve your goals.

Matt's First Transformation Challenge

2012-06-25T19:30:00.003-04:00

About Matt and the Reason For the Challenge

I'm the host of this blog and the personal trainer trainer that has transformed all the clients in this blog. Most of probably already know that before I found exercise I was extremely underweight. Well a few times people have said well you don't know what it's like to be overweight and try to lose it. They were right I have never been in that position other then to help others lose weight. I found a transformation challenge competition for 100k. Not really having much to transform, I decided to make myself over weight and lose the weight.

The Competion

I enter my first ever transformation competition it was 83 days to transform yourself and based off judges decisions who wins. I worked hard to put on that weight now I only had 83 days to take off what took me twice that amount of time to put on. Sign up I was ready and confident who better then somebody that is a master at transforming people to get the results they seek to do it them self. I will say mistake were made and I can definitely do better next time but it was a great learning experience. Out of 6,878 contestants I came in 14th place I didn't win the big prize but it was a great experience.

The Results

I started at 201.3 Lbs and a 37 Inch waist 83 Days later I was 168.8 lbs and had a 29.5 inch waist. My bodyfat went form 19.68% down to 6.12%. I dropped 32.5 lbs, 7.5 inches in my waist and lost 13.56% bodyfat

The Pictures

The Conclusion:

People said I don't know what it's like to have to lose weight. So I made myself overweight because they were right I didn't know first hand. Now I know and can say it's can be done on both sides of the spectrum you can achieve the body and health that you want there are no excuses. You just have to believe in yourself and commit to the steps of making your goals happen. Best of luck to everybody.
