Muscular Growth

So you want to gain muscle! There are many different programs and methods of training that I can incorporate that are going to accomplish muscle growth. Adding to that the fact that each individual is unique and that what may work for someone in building muscle mass may not work for the next person.

Here are some examples of the of trianing methods I will be using to create your individual Muscular Growth program:

Supersets

or paired sets, consist of any two sets performed in sequence (with no rest between exercises). 

Forced Repetitions

With spotting from a personal trainer, the client completes 2–4 extra repetitions after reaching momentary muscular fatigue during a set.

Descending-Weight or Drop Sets

 Countless variations are possible on descending-weight or drop sets. LOVE These!!!!!!!

Eccentric Training

in which the client lifts a weight (with the aid of a personal trainer) that is 105%–125% of that person’s normal load and then lowers the weight eccentrically in 3–4 seconds.

Muscle growth isn't easy, and it doesn't come quickly for most people, but muscle growth does happen, given enough time. Focus on the simple and science proven methods and rules for getting great returns with me and you will grow bigger and stronger!!!!

Sports Specific Training Youth & Adult 

 

MY mission is to provide clients with the highest quality, evidence-based physical preparation of athletic fitness possible through the use of both innovative strategies and tried-and-true conditioning methods. I will design programs that suite all the needs of nearly any sport related conditioning needed.

  • Softball
  • Soccer
  • Wrestling
  • Ect.....

 Here are some quick facts from the ACSM (American Collage of Sports Medicine). ACSM is the largest sports medicine and exercise science organization in the world. 

 Myth: Strength training is unsafe for children.

Fact: The risks associated with strength training are not greater than other sports and activities in which children regularly participate. However, the key is to provide qualified supervision, age-specific instruction and a safe training environment because, as in many sports, accidents can happen if children do not follow established training guidelines. Children should not use strength training equipment at home without supervision from a qualified professional.

 Myth: Strength training will stunt the growth of children.

Fact: There is no current evidence to indicate a decrease in stature in children who regularly strength train in a supervised environment with qualified instruction. In all likelihood, participation in weight-bearing physical activities (including strength training) will have a favorable influence on growth at any stage of development but will not affect a child’s genetic height potential.

 Myth: Children cannot increase strength because they do not have enough testosterone.

Fact: Testosterone is not essential for achieving strength gains, as evidenced by women and elderly individuals who experience impressive gains in strength even though they have little testosterone. When compared on a relative or percent basis, training-induced strength gains in children are comparable to those in adolescents and adults.

 Myth: Children will experience bone growth plate damage as a result of strength training.

Fact: A growth plate fracture has not been reported in any research study that was competently supervised and appropriately designed. Nonetheless, youth coaches, physical education teachers and fitness instructors must be aware of the inherent risk associated with strength training and should attempt to decrease this risk by following established training guidelines.

 The belief that strength training is unsafe for children is not consistent with the needs of boys and girls and the documented risks associated with this type of training. However, strength training is a specialized method of conditioning that requires qualified supervision, appropriate overload, gradual progression, and adequate recovery between exercise sessions. Furthermore, when designing youth strength training programs it is important to remember that the goal of the program should not be limited to increasing muscle strength. Teaching youth about their bodies, promoting safe training procedures, and providing a stimulating program that gives participants a more positive attitude toward strength training and physical activity in general are equally important.

Weightloss Programs (Youth&Adult)

I am very familiar with the struggle of fat loss. While I lost over 50 pounds of unwanted body fat, after struggling with the extra weight for years!, the clients I work with have had that much or more to lose! It is a tough battle, but it is one you can win!!!!!

I know from my own personal journey that fighting your way through the fat to that lean, fit person you want to be can be like a maze, littered with obstacles and dead-ends. I am painfully familiar with those dead-ends, and hope that by identifying them and using them to help my clients to achive there goals with out the same obstacles slowing there progress to fitness.

Some Interesting Facts About Weight Loss:

BUYING "FAT-FREE" FOOD

If you find yourself buying food that's labeled as "diet," "fat-free," or "sugar-free," drop the package and run the other direction immediately. Many people see these buzz words and assume that what they are buying must be healthy. In reality, these words usually mean the food you're about to purchase is anything but healthy. Stick to buying whole foods or with minimal ingrediants as much as possible!!! There are tons of really yummy and simple recipies for whole food diets!!!!

NOT EATING ENOUGH

If you want to lose fat, the first logical step is to cut your calorie intake, right? It makes sense then, that the more calories you cut the more fat you lose. Wrong! Seriously cutting your calories may work for a short period of time, but your metabolism will slowly shut down and eventually come to a screeching halt.

If that's not bad enough, when your caloric intake is too low, your body begins to use your hard-earned muscle as fuel, a process known as catabolism. If it happens, it could further hinder your fat loss. I realize that eating more sounds counterproductive to a fat loss goal, but trust me, more food is usually better. If you cut your calories too much for too long, you're not going to see results.

HOPPING ON THE LATEST FAD DIET

If you've tried The Hormone Diet, the cabbage soup diet, the 3-Day Diet, the no carb-diet, or some crazy juicing thing, you need to listen up. Fad diet advertisements try to suck you in by presenting the "latest research" and showing stories of success. Generally, fad diets work. But, they only work for a short peiod of time. When you go back to normal life, don't expect your body to join you. Make diet decisions that you will be able to sitck with for a very long time, like forever!!!! 

IGNORING WHAT YOUR BODY TELLS YOU

Believe it or not, we have hormones that regulate functions telling us we're hungry and when we need to stop eating. When we stop listening to these signals and eat right through the "I'm satisfied" zone and speed into the "I'm stuffed" zone, problems like obesity happen.

CHEAT MEALS FOR THE
WEEKEND

I've been guilty of this on a few occasions. OK, it happens almost every weekend. A cheat meal is perfectly fine, and can be beneficial mentally, and physically. But if you clock out at 5 p.m. on Friday from both the office and your diet, we may have a slight problem.

Filling your body all weekend with everything you didn't eat during the week will not only slow your progress, but can stop it. Sometimes, it can even completely reverse what you've worked so hard for. Depending on your goals and progress, one cheat meal, sometimes two, is usually OK. Get back to eating your healthy foods as soon as possible. Don't allow your cheat meal turn into a free-for-all cheat weekend.

Fat loss is a long, slow journey. It's made even slower by dieting errors. Don't fall into the same traps that I did! Read my mistakes, learn from them, and your fitness goal will be a reality much sooner.
