News — 4 weeks out

4 weeks out is an exciting time of prep. Im really starting to see changes from diet/training and my strength is still up. Ive been at the 4 week out point in the past where I just feel flat and depleted and my strength is gone but I am really pushing through my workouts, getting stronger as my prep progresses. I have always had the mind set when I prep that I CAN GROW during my prep. Even though my calories low; I am eating perfect, training hard, doing cardio and turning my body into a fine tuned machine. Its all about your mind set. 

What I wanted to demonstrate in the photo of me rowing is the form and technique used in one arm row. Making sure you get full extension on the bottom of the movement without causing to much rotation in your core. Use your mind muscle connection to pull from you elbow and focus on your lat pulling the weight vs your bicep. Use a weight that you can squeeze on the peak of the contraction and not just swing. Doing this will definitely help your back to grow and work the right muscles! 

If you need a custom tailored training program or diet make sure you check out my plans that are available for you . 

Hey Everyone! I hope your week was ultra productive . An action packed week in Dallas being 4.5 weeks out of the Arnold and filming a lifestyle/prep series with Muscle & Strength. It was a few 12+ hour days but we were able to capture some of the rawest real life pre-contest footage out there. I really enjoy being able to share this journey with you all. I personally have a contest coach and would be a stress ball if I didn't have one. Its important you work with someone you trust and we are offering contest coaching on the site.

With the Arnold right around the corner it is time to really grind out the rest of the prep to prepare for one of the best Arnold Classic's in history!
