Day 4...Chest & Shoulders

It is the four and final day which means it will be our split from tuesdays workout! We will once again be hitting the chest and shoulders just different parts of the muscles! This is two major muscles and so if you are trying to build your chest and shoulders be sure to get some carbohydrates in before your workout! We will be hitting middle chest, which means we will be maxing out on our flat bench press!!! We always want to finish our weeks hard and walk out of the stupid feeling like we took a giant leap forward over the week and setting new goals for the upcoming week(s)!!!

Day 3...Upper Body

We are back to the upper body and I am sure you are all very sore from yesterdays grueling workout! Yesterday was awesome as a trainer, there is nothing better then seeing people push themselves beyond their limits! I hope you will keep that intensity and finish out your week strong....BEASTMODE

Day 2...Lower body & Abs!

This workout is going to be extremely demanding be sure to load up on your carbohydrates!! We need to up the intensity of our workouts!! If you are going to be there at least act like you want to be there, nothing worse then seeing people yawning after a set, are you kidding me? and the benches are made for lifting not sleeping on!!! That just means you didn't properly prepare yourself for you workout, which means you might as well have stayed in bed. If you can not come with a positive attitude and give it your best, please do not come at all! I would say about 95% of my people come in and bust their asses while that other 5% continue to drag the energy of class down, so please check yourself and if you are one of those people please change your attitude! On a positive note we will be doing some different things tomorrow so be ready for a crazy lower body workout!!!

Day 4...Upper Chest.Lower Chest.Middle Deltoid

Hey RIPPED clients, tomorrow will be Monday's split set which means we are hitting chest & shoulders again!!! Again we are working two major muscles so give your body some fuel to push through this workout from beginning to end!

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

Day 3...Arms & Abs

We will be hitting biceps, triceps, and abs tomorrow as well as finishing with some boxing!!! Do not make the mistake of thinking this is a rest day just because we are not doing bench press, squats, dead lifts, or some other major lift. Having strong biceps and triceps can help take those major muscle lifts to a new level, so do not cheat them, take every set to failure, and focus on your form! Just remember, every rep counts!

Day 2...Back/Legs

Its the best day we have in RIPPED, back and legs!!! If you need to tone up your legs or build some muscle on them chicken legs today is the day to hit the high end of your carbs because these two major muscles demand the most from your body, so if you want to last the full hour and get the best out of your hour you better load up!!! Also a reminder that if you only have 10 min. of cardio at the end you better be giving it your all. I don't understand how you can have 10 seconds left in class and you just jump off the treadmill??? One of the most important factors in becoming fit and looking fit is having mental toughness so that you can set high goals and overcome them!!!

Day 1...Middle Chest.Front Deltoid.Rear Deltoid

Wednesday, September 7, 2011

Day 3...Chest & Biceps

Hey RIPPED clients, we will be having a little push/pull battle tomorrow with chest and biceps! Usually we would hit only push moves together and pull moves together but tomorrow we are going to switch it up and keep your body guessing by hitting push(chest) and pull(biceps)! We will be maxing out your flat bench press tomorrow and hopefully seeing some awesome gains like we did on your dead lifts! I can def. tell who has been putting effort into their diets and I think it is awesome! Remember fuel your body with complex carbohydrates one hour before your workout so you can kick ass in here!!!

Day 2...Shoulders & Triceps

Hey RIPPED clients, today we will be hitting some push moves with shoulders and triceps. This is a very important day for toning up your arms! Just remember, if you don't go to failure, you will be a failure ;)! What I am trying to say is that if your not pushing yourself as hard as you can on every single rep in every single set you are cheating yourself. The last few reps in each set are the only repsh that count and cause your body to change, so if your not even getting to those reps because "it hurts," then you are only failing yourself! Lets get some weight up over our heads, feel some pain, embrance it, and make some progress!!!

Day 4...Shoulders & Chest!!

Hey so its day four and we will once again be hitting chest and shoulders, just this time with more of a shoulder focus. We will be targeting the rear and front deltoids along with a flat bench press to get a good overall chest workout! Lets have a good one and go out with a bang! Def. saw a change in pace on Wednesday night/Thursday morning, lets keep it going!

Day 3...Back & Legs!!!

This is personally my favorite day!  The combination of legs and back (two biggest muscle groups in the body) will leave you feeling like you just workout out every muscle in your body. Also remember that legs and back will demand the most from your body so make sure to be on the higher end of your calories/carbs/fats for the day...We will be finding your max on squats and dead lifts tomorrow for a 6-8 rep count ,so bring some intensity tomorrow and lets set some high marks!

Day 2...Arms.Abdominals.Boxing

Be ready for a workout that will leave your arms dangling by your sides for days!!! Although this workout will be tough we are incorporating a few new lifts so I am sure you will all enjoy ;)!

Day 1...Upper/Lower Chest.Middle Deltoid

Hey everyone it is the beginning of our second week and so we will be splitting up chest and shoulders into two separate workouts Monday and Thursday!!! Just remember shoulders and chest are just as important to women as butt and legs should be to men...Having a great physique  is about having overall balance throughout the body! Don't want to be one of those men with huge shoulders and a pair of chicken legs (haha  ;))!

"I am sore"...The positive or negative to being sore!

I have a lot of clients who complain I am sore blah, blah, and blah. Well...I personally think you should either get your diet/supplementation right or suck it the fuck up and quit crying because I DO NOT CARE! If it is your diet then that is your own fault because I have put myself out there and tried to help every one of you! You are in there killing yourself with weights for absolutely no reason if you are not dieting/supplementing right! Now, if it is because you pushed your muscles to failure and absolutely took your body to another level, well then, be proud of that and think of it as a positive thing! Do not go take ibuprofen or Tylenol to try and ease the pain, embrace that shit!!!...I personally love feeling the pain a day or two after a grueling workout because I know my diet is right on and I am giving my body everything it needs. When that soreness finally goes away and my muscle repairs, I am going to look in the mirror and be happy with the changes I worked so hard for!! I don't mean to sound cliche but pain is nothing but WEAKNESS and SELF-PITY leaving your body and making you an overall stronger person, that is if you have that mentality. I will be doing a video blog later this evening about muscle soreness and how to avoid it as much as possible! I look at the body as a never ending challenge, there is always a way to improve it, whether it be internal or external. So, when you are sore just think of it in that way and know you have overcome another step and taken one more step away from being average!!! PAIN...EMBRACE IT & OVERCOME IT!!!

Day 4...Lower Back.Lats.Calves.Glutes

Remember this week is a split set of back and legs and we always go out with a bang...aka...Deadlifts and Squats to failure for four sets!!!

Day 3...Shouldlers & Triceps

Hey RIPPED clients, saw that some of you have been working hard and making progress on your diets and seeing awesome results in just days!!! Tonight a client looked at me with a confused face and said, "It seems when I eat these clean foods, the more I eat the more weight I lose!" I am telling you to eat more then you already do and you can lose weight and gain muscle...SO DO IT! Tonight/Tomorrow we will be hitting shoulders/triceps, so if thats your weak point make sure you throw in an extra scoop of carbs before and after your workout!!!

Day 2...Chest.Biceps.Abs

Hey RIPPED clients, it is good to see you all at least putting forth an effort to get your diet right! It will not take you long and it will be perfect! Tonight/Today we will be hitting a Push (chest)/Pull (biceps) combo and also working in a little lower and upper abs! Remember we are trying to stay in the 6-12 rep range, in the middle of that being prime...Come with a determined attitude and remember to focus when lifting on each and every rep!!!
