Train Smart With Power Factor

Posted by Clint Robson on Wednesday, April 4, 2012, In : Training 
First I must apologise for not posting for a while. Although I promised to get back in the saddle and post more regularly, I just haven't been able to do so.

I was explaining to a student in the gym a few days ago, about the importance of keeping records and upping the training sessions. In contacting him, I borrowed a relevant article from one of the pioneers of modern training sessions and I'd like to share that with you.

Some Tips to Help Build Biceps

Posted by Clint Robson on Monday, October 10, 2011, In : Bodybuilding 
Most guys want hard abs and large guns. These are the 2 muscles that are most popular. I’m often approached by people wanting to build up their biceps quickly.

The first trap to avoid is to know there are a lot of time-wasting, low intensity exercises that trainers recommend to build biceps. We have tested all of the common ones and know which ones deliver the highest intensity of overload. Avoid the others.



The number one and two highest-intensity exercises to build biceps are undoubtedly th...

Fitness Training Can Be A Hectic Lifestyle

Posted by Clint Robson on Tuesday, August 23, 2011,
Hectic! Hectic! My life has been hectic lately. Sorry I haven't posted for a while, but I have been taking strain!

I was managing a gym full time, either 5am to 3pm one week, or 9am to 7pm the next week. On top of this, I was leading a martial arts class in my afternoons off, running a boot-camp in the evenings and then still running my own Personal Training advisory business whenever I could fit it in. I was running this routine 362 days of the year and had no opportunity to take leave. The f...

Static Contraction Or Power Factor - Which Is Best

Posted by Clint Robson on Tuesday, June 21, 2011, In : Training 
For the last ten years I've been talking to people exclusively about Static Contraction training. I'd forgotten that one of the most common questions I used to hear was: "Which one is better, Static Contraction or Power Factor?"

The answer to this question depends on what you mean by "best". I sometimes ask the questioner, "Which is better, a Corvette or a pickup truck?" If you want to get somewhere quickly, then the Corvette is better, but if you want to get a load of timber over a bad road, ...

This information is aimed at helping you to reduce your fat intake.  The average individual eats too much fat, a factor that's linked to a variety of health problems, including cancer.

Diets that are high in fat are associated with breast and colon cancer, with some studies linking high fat to prostate cancer as well.

A majority of people can bring their fat intakes down to a healthy range, by making a few adjustments in the way they shop, cook, and prepare the foods they eat.

How to Set a Personal Record in Any Exercise

Posted by Clint Robson on Tuesday, November 23, 2010, In : Training 
Personal progress provides its own motivation. Few things in the gym provide more positive feedback and personal motivation than setting a personal record on a favorite exercise.

That's why you see so many guys with T-shirts proudly proclaiming things like "Bench Press 300 lbs" usually accompanied by a caricature of a huge guy hoisting a seriously bent barbell. While most of us prefer to be more introverted about our achievements, we all feel the glow of satisfaction in being able to improve ...

Tips for Effective Back Muscles Training

Tips for Effective Back Training

Don't you think it strange that the professional bodybuilders, weightlifters and trainers always seem to ignore the back? When did you hear of them doing back training?

We hear of core muscles, legs, arms, chest, abs etc, but nobody pays much attention to the back! I find this strange and very under-rated.

For one thing, the lower back muscles are the antagonistic muscles to the abdominal muscles and keep that area of the torso in proper balance. The internet an...

How To Improve Your Workouts

Posted by Clint Robson on Sunday, October 3, 2010, In : Training 
How does one improve their workout? This is a very common, basic question. Well, do you believe that your workouts represent the pinnacle of mankind’s achievement on the subject of strength training? Do you believe that your training can never be improved?

I'm asking this in all sincerity, because for many years I’ve noticed that I battle against something I call Cogniostasis. Don’t bother searching for that word in the dictionary - I made it up.

Static Contraction Exercises And Some Ways To Cheat

If you have only just heard about Static Contraction Training (SCT) you might want to try a few of the exercises at your gym, just to satisfy yourself that there really is a difference. I'm really impressed!

The basics of SCT are to:
a) limit the range of motion to only your strongest and safest range
b) for just 5 seconds lift the heaviest weight you can within that range

The exercises themselves are common ones that you likely already do using your full, weakest range of motion. They can all ...

Rational Abs Training

Abs training is as simple and comprehensible as biceps training yet, for some reason, more misleading garbage has been written on training this bodypart than any other.

I'm sure you've seen the images of a guy holding a broom handle, or a light barbell over his shoulders and twisting his torso from left to right as a means to lose his love handles.

About Nutritional Bodybuilding Supplements

In body building, a lot of hard work is required, since a great physique is not achieved in just one, or two days. For this reason, people should eat often, to replace whatever energy is lost during strenuous workouts, but some people are not aware of the proper eating routines. That is why, no matter how much they want to achieve a perfect body, they just do not seem to get good results.
