Building a Better Body for Life
The weekend is just around the corner…
And yea, we all love a good night out.
Lots of drinking, dancing and mingling.
But what happens when it’s all said and done?
What happens when the music stops and the lights go out?
You want food.
You want it bad. You want something to quickly fill that empty space in your stomach that is currently flooded with beer and yager bombs.
But the question is – what are you eating? And how much?
When was the last time you gave your soft tissues some lovin’?
I mean really.
When was the last time you gave them some attention?
Day in and day out you put them through hell with your poor biomechanical habits, your terrible posture and your intense training activities.
You torture them!
So when was the last time you did some nice, effective soft tissue work to show them how much you really care?
Right about now I’m picturing this confused yet (hopefully) intrigued look.
Let me explain…
Kettlebell exercises…
They spark the creative being within every warrior.
Kettlebell training, as I’ve mentioned so many times, is one of the most dynamic and unique styles of training. It works the body on so many levels to help develop the posterior chain, strengthen the core, improve cardiovascular fitness, and build highly functional and mobile joints.
If I had to choose only one tool that I could use for the rest of my life…
It would be the kettlebell.
The following video will show you exactly why.
I feel bad for the spine.
I really do.
It’s constantly being loaded with forces from all different angles and directions.
Especially compressive forces.
Thanks to gravity, your spine is constantly under compression.
Whether you are standing, running, squatting, deadlifting, pressing or even if you have your ass planted in a chair 40 to 60 hours a week, your spine is being compressed.
Heavily.
Time flies…
I started Phase 3 of Visual Impact back on November 13, 2011 with two goals in mind:.
I prepared my meals, I structured my workouts, and I prepared myself for a few weeks of what I quickly discovered to consist of unusual training and endless mind games.
Let me fill you in…
“Myofascia – the tissue of movement”
Have you heard about it?
The term ‘Myofascial Release’ might flicker some lightbulbs up in your head. If it doesn’t, prepare to be blown away because this stuff is powerful.
It’s time to lay down some (important) facts.
The term myofascial release has actually been around since the early 1950s, but the lack of research and support on the topic has kept this magnificent therapeutic philosophy out of the limelight for decades.
You’ve undoubtedly heard of them…
Food journals.
They’re these little notebooks you carry around with you and write down exactly what and when you eat throughout the day.
Every little detail.
Now they even have online versions and smartphone applications that are designed to make the process a little more simplified (some even allow you to upload pictures of the foods you eat).
But what’s the point? What’s the purpose of it all?
Well, here’s something you probably didn’t know…
You are what you eat…
There is some truth to that.
Achieving low levels of body fat (i.e. getting ridiculously lean) comes down to nothing more than what and how much you eat.
As I’m writing this, I’ve already completed Phase 3 of Visual Impact Muscle Building.
And I’ll tell you this: Results speak loud and clear. This shit works!
I showed you guys exactly how I’m training to develop incredible strength and burn serious fat. But today…
Today I want to talk to you about the most important aspect of getting lean – the diet.
Are you a perfectionist?
Do you find yourself constantly pursuing that 100% percent marker?
The truth is, I think we all have some level of perfection-seeking inside of us.
We can’t help it. We’re just wired that way.
But the pursuit of perfection is a funny thing because it just might be the thing that’s holding you back from achieving great things in life.
Let’s dig in for a bit.
You wanna know how to get lean?
Or how to build ridiculous strength?
Here’s a little hint: you can do both at the same time.
But, if you’re like 95% of the population, you’re trying to achieve these goals using a completely flawed and ineffective approach.
No worries. I’m here to lay down some hard cold truth.
So recently I put up a post introducing the beginnings of Phase 3 for Visual Impact Muscle Building. As I mentioned, the objective of this phase is two fold: build strength and lose fat.
Simple.
Today, I want to take you guys behind the scenes of the Phase 3 training strategy. I’m going to show you exactly how I’m training to simultaneously cut excess fat and build incredible strength.
Let’s get into the details.
