Being a member of the same gym Lifetime Fitness for the past 10 years I often overlook all their promotions & special programs however here’s one I couldn’t miss. It’s a 3 month weight loss program that includes members taking a before photo as well as  posting their personal weight loss goal on a wall card. I think that the key ingredient to the program is that it’s a contest and that you must lose the biggest percentage of body weight in order to win. It combines all the important factors in order to really achieve a goal like writing down your objective,taking a photo for a point of reference and competition among others. You can read about the full details of the program  HERE

When you’ve been a gym rat for 10 years it’s not often that you discover a new machine at the gym anymore, however today I did. It’s the Gravity Crunch machine and it’s awesome! So you pretty much do the leg raise crunch and it’s weighted. I love it! Try 3 sets of 20reps with 20lbs on it, oh yeah!!

Here’s my buddy Miggity Mike Deadlifting 540lb at the Pow(r) Performance gym.

So all the Meatheads who train up at my Buddy BK’s gym “Pow(r)Performance” decided to all get together on Saturday to have a little fun “aka” a Meathead Marathon. The only objective was to lift and enjoy some good old fashioned comradery, we had everyone from old Veterans to Young Bucks to Newbies. We had several stations set up and you could simply jump in on whatever you pleased. Everything from Deadlifting, Squatting, Overhead Presses, Tire flips, Truck Pulls to Keg throws. The day was followed by some BBQ back at BK’s crib, I honestly cant think of a better way to spend a Saturday.

Note: A1 and A2 are done with no rest in between the exercises the same goes for B1 and B2.

OK everyone this is my first training post and I need to know if its easy to understand. That means whoever is reading this and I don’t care if its my mom, dad, cat or myspace stalker, just let me know in a comment if the photo is easy to follow if you wanted to perform this workout? Tomorrow I will show you what one of my food logs looks like.
