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.

Now about training With precision. First you need to understand what we...

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...

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, ...

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...

Excess Abdominal Fat Is More Deadly Than You Realize

Posted by Clint Robson on Monday, July 26, 2010, In : Training 
Listen up, this is important. I saw an article recently, by Mike Geary, the founder of TruthAboutAbs.  I thought this was an important topic to share with you, because the reality is that most people simply don't realize how dangerous their excess abdominal fat really is to their health.

The hidden dangers of your excess abdominal fat is far more serious than just being a vanity issue!

Did you know that the vast majority of people in this day and age have excess abdominal fat? The first thing t...

Rational Abs Training

Posted by Clint Robson on Thursday, July 8, 2010, In : Muscles 
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.

You must have seen dozens of fitness articles that allegedly tell guys how to develop their abs. 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. It's a total waste of time! Or even worse, a guy h...

What Is Static Contraction Training?

Posted by Clint Robson on Monday, June 14, 2010,
This article will provide you with what I think is fascinating information of how to get more out of your fitness strength training, with less total effort.

It does not involve “something for nothing” claims about how you can lift cute, pink dumbbells and transform your body. People and magazines who tell you that you can, are lying to you, plain and simple.

Static Contraction, developed by Pete Sisco, is about lifting a heavy weight for a very brief time (5 seconds), to stimulate your mus...

You Need To Exercise Those Muscles For A long And Healthy Life

Posted by Clint Robson on Thursday, January 28, 2010, In : Training 
It is essential to build up our muscles on a regular basis, during your lifetime, as this is absolutely vital to your long term fitness goals. As you get older, you will lose muscle and strength, if you are inactive. Loss of muscle and strength, is called sarcopenia.

This term also refers to the decreased quality of muscle tissue, often seen in older adults. Strength exercises can partly restore muscles and strength and can often achieve this very quickly.

In one study, nursing home residents,...

Abdominal Training and Diet For Hard Six Pack Abs

Posted by Clint Robson on Monday, November 9, 2009, In : Muscles 
How can I have a 6 pack? I want abs like a bodybuilder. I want to look like a lean machine, what is the quickest way to firm up my abs? I've heard these questions more times than I care to remember.

People need to recognize and acknowledge that they all look different. In fact, the look of their muscles could ultimately depend on their genes. Two people with equal muscle size and power and identical bodyfat can have very different looking abs, biceps and noses. That's just reality.

But, that ...

Crosstraining Is Best For Both Fitness and Fatloss And Creates A Better Looking Body

Posted by Clint Robson on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, In : Training 
The numbers on your scale, do not indicate whether you are fit, or fat. Far more significant than your total body weight, is the composition of your body tissue. If a man’s fatty tissue is bigger than 14%, up to 15% of his body mass, or if a woman’s is more than 20%, to 22%, he, or she is overweight, or more precisely, overfat.

A small amount of fat is needed, for padding the internal organs and as insulation, under the skin. Excess fat leads to diseases, such as diabetes, gout, high blood...

A Poor Muscle Training Plan Can Do More Harm Than Good

Posted by Clint Robson on Thursday, October 8, 2009, In : Muscles 
If you've been hard at work training with weights on your own, here's a short list of bodybuilding misnomers. Training at home and without a properly prescribed plan, calculated by a Personal Trainer, can actually do more harm than good.

Why The Core Muscles Need Strengthening Before Any Other Muscles

Posted by Clint Robson on Wednesday, October 7, 2009, In : Muscles 
The core muscles are the most important muscle group and should be strengthened before embarking on any form of fitness training program, particularly weights training, resistance training, or bodybuilding.

Suppose that at a distance, you see a short, stooped figure, walking with short, slow steps. Most likely, you will conclude that the person is just old. The hunched posture gives you the clue. This is a fact of life, but what causes it and what can be done to avoid it? Why does aging conto...
