Behind the Scene – Studio Vlog Here’s a quick vlog recorded between a few shots! Stay tuned for the Lift More Series coming up soon
Everyone loves to work biceps! And everyone also seems to have their own personal preference when it comes to how they like to work them. There will never be a shortage of exercises you can do to work this muscle (machines and free weights alike). However, in the world of free weights, there are really two pieces of equipment that dominate people’s arm routines — the barbell and the EZ bar. Everyone has an opinion when it comes to what the more effective bar is, but the truth is, there is no definitive answer. Here’s why. The barbell is a great choice for working your biceps, no doubt about it. When using the barbell, you are forced to take a completely supinated (palms facing up) position, making full use of the exercise. There have been studies showing that you actually do activate more of the bicep muscle when using barbells during the concentric motion of the exercise, as opposed to EZ bars. Barbells do have their drawbacks, though. Due to the nature of the curl, it can be tough on people’s wrists. And that can cause problems. If you’re more focused on the uncomfortable feeling in your wrist, rather than…
Motivational video I’m so blessed to see how I can touch lives every single day. Today, one of my followers sent me this video he made of me, and I though it would be good to share it here to motivate you. “If you are able to impact the life of others in a positive way, you don’t have to worry about your future. Just keep going and you will attract everything you want”.
We’ve all been there. You wake up and see your alarm clock displaying some hour that urges you to just hit that snooze button — over and over and over again. The initial thought of getting out of your nice, warm bed is literally the last thing you want to do. But today, we’re going to change that mindset. Of course, the hardest part about changing any habit is getting started, right? When you started your fitness journey, keeping consistent was probably one of the biggest challenges you faced. Day after day of giving your all was, to say the least, taxing. But, you got used to it. It takes 21 days to make something a habit. Now, you probably work out nearly every day without having to think about it — it’s just something you do now. You can look at waking up early the same way. It’s going to be tough in the beginning, especially if it’s something you rarely do. But if you channel your motivation to get out of bed at 5:30 a.m. the same way you got it together to hit the gym every single day, you can do this. And with enough time, it’ll just…

Vlog – intense underdog & Lift More; Chest workout For the past two weeks, I’ve integrated some strength training into my routine to do something different and become stronger. The reason is, if I’m stronger when I return to a full hypertrophy workout, I will be able to take heavier weight and indirectly stress my muscles more to grow. It’s temporary, but I will benefit from it in the future. When you lift crazy-heavy weight, it will help to reinforce your bone, joints and muscles because you give a signal to your nervous system to become stronger in these areas in order to be able to face that kind of situation in the future. Remember, the form is still the most important thing to focus on, because when you master it, you can upgrade the weight and intensity. Here’s the workout I did this morning for my chest and calves: [wpdm_file id=66]

If I haven’t slept a lot, do I go to the gym? In this new vlog I share my thoughts about the subject because yesterday, Cath was in a car accident and because of that, I didn’t have a chance to sleep a lot. Watch this video to know what I will do in these kinds of unpredictable situations.
It’s no secret that coffee is a common go-to beverage for people on the go, in need of a little boost. Unfortunately, in today’s caffeine-crazed world, it’s all too easy to find a cup that can throw your diet way off and set you back. It’s a shame too, because all of the crazy combinations and recipes for all of the different types of beverages really give coffee a bad name. In fact, drinking coffee has a variety of benefits. In fact, coffee has been linked to a decreased chance of developing Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, skin cancer, oral cancer, and liver cancer. In addition, studies have shown a correlation between caffeine intake and an increase in power output during workouts. Those who consumed around 3 mg of caffeine per kg of body weight were able to produce more power than those who didn’t! And, of course, we’re all familiar with the post-caffeine jitters. That’s why it’s good to take vitamin C afterwards. It’ll help metabolize the caffeine quicker. So, those of you who work out in the evening will be able to rest assured (no pun intended) knowing that you can get your energy boost and still be…
