US Sports Online Strength and Conditioning's 2 Day Bodybuilding Intro

Hello again Athletes and Warriors!
I have said it once and I will continue to submit that competitive Bodybuilding is the most difficult sport to see consistent success in. Steroids or "No-Roids"! Yep I said that!
Now to be responsible I do not advocate illegal steroid use as it is once again illegal and dangerous.
We'll have a more detailed discussion on that in a later post.

Everything we do in the world of fitness has its roots in bodybuilding and its concepts so whether you plan on stepping on stage on not its a good idea to understand the basic concepts and processes of bodybuilding.

Of course if you are looking for any reason to better your body and life and a good strength coach or personal trainer is not feasible or affordable. Train with me online saving money and time!
Simply log on to The US Sports Online Strength and Conditioning System and fill out the fitness profile form to get started as early as today! I look forward to helping you.

  Body Building

The Body Building Programs were developed with the concepts and knowledge of cutting edge training principles needed to stimulate muscle growth. Volume and intensity changes, rest period manipulations, supersetting, drop sets, contraction speed variations, they're all here! However, the key to success is to not only know what to do but when and how to do it. This is where the concepts of Periodization and individualization come into play. Not everyone can handle the same quantities of muscle work. The sets, repetitions, exercise prescription, and actual weight in the Body Building Programs are based off an initial fitness level and specific strength to bodyweight ratio's. With simple feedback, the progression of the program will follow the bodyƂ’s unique adaptation process to exercise. Fine tune the program to include all the exercises that feel the best! Also, the EXPRESS Body Building Programs are great for those that respond best to shorter programs. All of these features create an organized training plan. This takes the guesswork out of not knowing what to do and ultimately, leads to success!

Good Morning Athletes and Warriors!
With your 2017 exercise programs and off-season/in-season strength and conditioning programs in full swing, I though it would be a good idea to help all understand that your programs has a few components that must be implemented in a balanced manner for maximum success. Thanks to our pals at Johns Hopkins for breaking it down for us.
-Nate

Types of Exercise
From John Hopkins Health

Fitness is most easily understood by examining its components--cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance and flexibility.

Cardiovascular endurance is the body's ability to do large muscle work, i.e. moving the body over a period of time. This ability is dependent on the cardiovascular system's ability to pump blood and deliver oxygen through your body. Cardiovascular endurance should be a central component of your overall fitness program. Improving cardiovascular endurance increases your supply of oxygen and energy to your body. It also decreases your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and other life-threatening diseases.

When a heart is well-conditioned, it is like any other muscle--it becomes stronger and more efficient. A normal heart beats at a rate of approximately 70 beats per minute at rest or about 100,000 beats a day. The well-conditioned heart can actually beat as few as 40 times a minute at rest or approximately 50,000 beats per day. A well-conditioned heart conserves energy, and can supply oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body with half the effort.

Strength is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to exert an amount of force, typically in a one-time burst of effort. Weight-lifting (or "resistance training") is a classic example of strength-training because it increases muscle strength and mass, as well as bone strength, by placing more strain on muscles and bones than they are used to. When you lift weights, muscles are forced to meet that challenge by generating more force-generating proteins to feed the "fibers" that grow during exercise.

Most muscles have a combination of two types of fibers that are challenged during strength-training activities: Fast-twitch fibers provide the explosive force needed for weight-lifting or activities such as sprint racing. Slow-twitch fibers are for endurance, such as the ability for muscle to withstand fatigue. Most muscles have a 50-50 blend of fast-and slow-twitch fibers, but others have an advantage one way or the other. When you make muscles work harder, you actually tear these fibers. As they rebuild, they get stronger and bigger, resulting in harder, tighter and larger muscles.

Muscle Endurance is the ability to resist fatigue and continue to exercise over long periods of time. While strength-training is needed to maintain muscle strength, endurance training is required to achieve stamina. Muscular endurance is the ability of muscles to continue working strong without rest, such as the ability of a quarterback to throw long pass after pass.

Flexibility is the ability of joints and muscles to achieve a full range of motion. This results in the preventing injuries and helps keep your body feel comfortable after exercise. Despite popular opinion, there's no evidence that you should lose flexibility as you build muscle.

Unfortunately, there is truth that the natural aging process can rob you of muscular strength, endurance and flexibility--if you don't maintain them. That's why a regular fitness regimen becomes increasingly important as you age.

Is 2017 Your Lean Year?

Nate-and-Michelle-Miller-Transformation-1997.jpgDiego-and-Nate-Senior-Night-2015.jpgNate-and-Becky.jpg

Good Morning Athletes and Warriors!
Now even though I am aware that the New Years resolution idea is often abused, there is nothing wrong with using the opportunity of a New Year as a a way of kick-starting your health, fitness, sports performance and lifestyle goals. Its with that in mind that I would like to share with you easily our most popular program of the US Sports Online Strength and Conditioning System:
Our Get Lean Programs:
-Nate

Get Lean Workouts
The Get Lean Programs were designed to have higher repetitions. This higher volume causes a greater amount of calories to be burned. Higher repetitions during weight training helps maximize the body’s metabolism to create a caloric burning effect long after the workout is completed. There are also individualized cardio workouts that are based on V02 max and age predicted max heart rate.
Related image
Throughout the length of the Get Lean Programs, the manipulation of the sets and repetitions for each exercise will be based on periodization concepts that involve changing the intensity and the volume of the workout. This variation provides a more consistent "programmed response" to exercise which will help to avoid those depressing plateau's in progress.

The regular Get Lean Programs are designed so that each muscle is trained twice per week to give the body a much leaner look and stronger, healthier muscles. The Get Lean EXPRESS Programs offer a shorter workout for those busier times when you simply can't spend as much time in the gym. They are also great for those who physically respond better to a program with less overall volume. Give these programs a try and prepare to feel the burn!

    10 Minutes At Home Ab Workout - 6-Pack Training

    Good Morning Athletes and Warriors!
    Seems as though as we wind down 2016 and tool up for a great 2017, that the holidays for many are all about making your ab muscles disappear. And spending January and on looking for them again.
    Let's stop this vicious cycle by first as I always say, making fitness a lifestyle for a lifetime. Then and only then will the particular methods of exercise have the long lasting effect of a healthier leaner body that we are looking for.
    With that in mind let's get after that six pack with the help of our friends at BPISports!
    -Nate

    (Video)10 Minutes At Home Ab Workout - 6-Pack Trainingmaxresdefault-36.jpg

    Are you looking for a fast and effective ab workout routine to lose belly fat and get lean 6-pack abs?

    Now despite all the myths you may have heard you don’t have to do 1,000’s of reps to get great abs – in fact all 3 of the exercises we’re going to do today require only 15 repetitions per set and the whole workout will only take about 10 minutes to finish. You only need to do this routine twice a week to get the maximum benefits.

    REVERSE CRUNCH
    To do this exercise correctly, we’re going to eliminate the first part of that motion where it was all hip flexors – so starting with the thighs perpendicular to the floor and a 90 degree bend in the legs. To maximize the contraction we are going to bring our head up off the floor – make sure not to pull on the back of your head or neck. From here we are going to slowly and in a controlled movement lift our pelvis off the floor in a reverse crunch motion. Focus on bringing your knees closer to your head versus up toward the ceiling. Slowly lower back to the starting position and repeat for 15 reps, and 3 sets of this, but not back to back.

    PLANK TUCK:
    First, I take a small towel and put it down on a smooth floor. I put my feet on the towel in a push-up position. Starting with my back straight and my abs tight I tuck my pelvis and pull my feet up by contracting my abs. Squeeze your abs at this point and then slide your feet back out to starting position before repeating. As you can see we get a nice curvature of the low spine, bringing the lower part of our ribs closer to our pelvis – the two insertion points of our rectus abdominis. This means we’re getting a nice full contraction. We’re going to do this for 15 reps. We’ll do this for 3 total sets but not back to back. From here we’re going to jump into our next exercise.

    CRUNCHES:
    To correctly perform a simple crunch, we need a fuller range of motion by bringing our head toward our knees, not the ceiling. When we do this you can see we get that curvature we’re looking for. Make sure to start the move slowly, not using momentum and not pulling on your neck or head - squeeze it at the top before slowly lowering back down. Make sure to go as high as you can – just before your low back comes off the ground – if it comes off the ground then you’re doing an old fashioned sit-up – which is an effective exercise if it weren’t for the stress on the low back. We’re going to do this exercise for 15 reps.

    James Michener Takes his Body to a Wbff Pro Level Stage with Hitch Fit Competition Prep Progam

    The hits just a keep on coming with our friends at Hitchfit!
    I have heard some feedback from some of you, while being inspired by these amazing transformations, you have intimated that you may not want to step on stage. That you want a healthier, stronger body.

    I am in full agreement with that line of thinking by the way. Keep this in mind; everything we do in the world of fitness now has its roots in the world of bodybuilding. We have many ways to apply those things but the foundational principles are the same.

    So enjoy today's transformation and feel free to contact me or click here to chat with one of our Hitchfit trainers today so that soon I will have the honor of hearing all about your amazing transformation.
    -Nate

    James front copy



    I started my fitness journey when I was young something I owe to my parents. They instilled in myself, and my two brothers the importance of Balance in Life. You work hard but include your Faith, Family, Friends and time for ones self doing what you love. I loved Sports, I loved working as hard as I could to develop skills that would make me improve at what ever sport I was playing at the time. I started with soccer at age 4, played every sport available in Elementary school and because of time constraints I could only play Varsity Football, Soccer, Basketball and Track In High School. I was fortunate enough to excel at most of these sports but my passion ended up being football. I had worked hard and it paid off being recruited to some of the top teams in the Country and decided on the Acadia Axemen of Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.



    This allowed me to continue my fitness Journey and also continue to my dream of being a professional Athlete. I had a great University Career achieving Academic All-Canadian, 2nd Team All-Canadian, and awarded The East vs. West University All-star game MVP. I thought I was on a path to be drafted but unfortunately I was not. The dream of becoming a pro athlete was not going to become a reality or so I thought. It was not until I found the love of my life two years later that my fitness Journey continued. Although, I was done playing football, I continued to train and live a healthy life with a great balance as I was taught as a kid growing up but with no goal in mind just training for life.

    James side



    The next phase of my fitness Journey began when my FiancĆ©, Jayne Campbell, called me “husky”. No joke. I was living the Sales professional life selling Medical Devices into Hospitals I was out for dinner every day of the week and put on some unwanted weight bringing my once 190lbs football player frame to a unhealthy 235lbs. and 24% body fat in a very short amount of time. I say that she called me fat but it was 100% needed. I was once always a self-confident man and even though I was still confident I noticed little things I would do to mask my own feelings about my added weight. Jayne Campbell challenged me to train with her for her next show. I accepted the challenge and with 5 short months. I lost 50lbs and won my Pro Card at the Atlantic Canadian WBFF Championship in May of 2012. I did it, I became a professional Athlete and on top of this my life partner achieved this same goal the exact same day.



    We took an entire year off of competing realizing we both had a lot of work to do before we made our Pro Debut at the 2013 WBFF World Championship. I was awarded my Pro card in the Male Fitness Model Category but as I trained for my next show realized I would be too large at 6’1 and over 190lbs to fit the look as a Fitness Model. I decided to make the switch to Pro Muscle Model and started to make the transformation. I trained like a football player again lifting heavy weights and eating a lot of Calories. I did not let up all year I pushed harder and harder watching the months pass by. I put on some great weight and had personal bests in my lifting all year long. Like any story when everything is going this well there always has to be a twist.

    James Back



    My FiancƩ and I had a set back in March/April of 2013. Her father passed away suddenly and I quickly lost the balance in my life that I always had. I opened my doors to her family and did everything I could to do to take the pain away from my best friend. I started missing work outs, started missing meals, started getting into some bad habits again but I had to take care of her and her family now my family. We knew we had fallen far from our goals and knew her father would not want our lives to suffer because of his passing. Jayne and I made a commitment to each other to make the right choices and complete our goal of making our pro debut in Las Vegas August 25th. We used her father passing away and all the emotions around this as strength to make it through those tough days. We trained together, we ate together, we did everything we could to push each other through this dark time.



    Jayne realized my potential in this sport and she knew who I looked up to more than any other athlete in this industry. Micah Lacerte. She surprised me with hiring him as my coach for the 16-week transformation. I was so touched she would believe in me this much. It was a thank you for getting out of my balanced life and doing everything in my power to protect a broken girl. I was officially a member of Team HitchFit

    IMG_5918



    This started my Journey to my pro debut. I started with Micah at 225lbs and about 16% body fat, 34” waist. I have never been pushed harder in my life. I took every challenge put in front of me and performed with the utmost determination and dedication. I ate more food than I have ever ate, I sprinted up so many hills, I pushed through slight set backs to continue my journey and I did it. Over the 4 months I was with Team HitchFit I continued to loose body fat but not weight. By month three I was only down 10lbs but was down over 7% body fat. I was building muscle while leaning out, almost every Competitors dream. Micah knew that I wanted to bring my best to stage and I would not back down from any challenge he put in front of me. I was able to keep my balanced life and train harder than ever before. I had the best year in sales I have ever had increasing my territory sales from 5 million dollars to over 9 million dollars, I spent time with my friends, my family and, I always had time for my 2 dogs and the love of my life Jayne.



    The last month I was elated as I had achieved my goal and barring any injury I would be making my Pro Debut. Although, I was nursing a hamstring tear Micah was able to adapt my workouts to ensure I was still building muscle and burning fat. We flew to Las Vegas Aug 21st and I was provided an opportunity to shoot with a International Fitness Magazine. The first experience like this and it was all because of the work I had put in the past year. I was 210lbs leading into the last week before the competition. That is 25lbs heavier than the year before in 2012. I stepped on stage and had the time of my life. I have never been treated more like a super star, The Red Carpet, the photo-shoots, the interaction with other competitors, and the World Class stage. I was fortunate to be in the situation I was in. I had the time of my life and I cannot wait to do it all over again next year. I was on stage with some of the worlds best and held my own up there for my Pro Debut. I cant thank Micah enough for putting the plan in front of me that if I was able to follow every step I would be in the best shape of my life. I trusted the plan and it worked. I stepped on stage at 207lbs and 4.5%-5% body fat. I have to thank The WBFF for giving me a platform to achieve a life long goal of being a Pro Athlete and to continue to inspire others who have this same goal. My family and friends always supported me and encouraged me to be great and that pushed me through a few tough times. Lastly I have to thank my best friend and soul mate that hired Micah with Team Hitchfit for me and believed that I was one of the best athletes in the world and with out her support I would not have achieved my full potential. Follow along this years Journey and watch the Road to the WBFF World Championships.

    3 Steps to Overcome Overeating

    United-Games-728x90.pngLet's face it, the extra pounds you're carrying around are due to overeating - plain and simple.

    Why do you overeat? Here are a few likely reasons:
    1. Habit: Whether you realize it or not, you eat in a learned pattern, rather than out of need. You clean your plate because that's what your mother taught. You eat what is served without stopping to check if you are full. You butter two pieces of toast for breakfast rather than questioning if one piece would do the job.
    2. Absentminded: You forget to pay attention when you eat. Mindless munching while watching a movie, snacking while driving, or picking at food while cooking - these absentminded calories really add up.
    3. Something Deeper: Sometimes you use food for recreation or to change your mood. These calories may lend you a temporary sense of comfort or pleasure, but ultimately your body suffers from the indulgence.
    Here are 3 Steps To Overcome Overeating - read these, and apply them to your life.

    Step #1: Pay Attention

    Be aware of what and how much you eat. This simple concept will save you from hundreds upon hundreds of calories each week.

    To apply this rule, don't eat while your attention is distracted by another activity. Only put food in your mouth when you are hungry and conscious of it. This means turn off the T.V., get out of your car, and no matter what you do, don't graze in the kitchen while cooking.

    Step #2: Practice Balance

    Be aware of the types of food that you eat during each meal, and make sure that it's balanced. When you eat a balanced diet filled with lean protein, whole grains, lots of veggies, a few daily servings of fruit and limited fat and sweets, your body will be satisfied and you'll lose the urge to overeat.

    This means you shouldn't always eat carb-based meals, and you also shouldn't always eat high-fat meals. Make a mental checklist of the food groups that you've eaten each day. Did you eat lean protein? Did you have plenty of vegetables? Did you refrain from eating more than one or two primarily carb-based meals? This mental checklist will save you from making food decisions that you'd later regret.

    Step #3: Be Tuned In

    Your body will always tell you when its hunger has been satisfied - you've just gotten so good at ignoring the signs that you barrel through your meal only to feel like you've been hit by a ton of bricks once all that food hits your stomach. It's time to take a deep breath and listen to your body.

    An important part of being tuned in is to eat slowly. Once you start to pay attention you'll notice a point when each bite becomes less and less satisfying. That is your body's way of letting you know that you've had enough and that each continued bite is simply overkill (yes, even if you're only halfway through that plate of pasta).

    By learning how to control your eating habits, you'll find weight loss to come simply and naturally.

    Want to speed up your weight loss, make it permanent, and shape your body at the same time? I've got what it takes to get you there! No guess work, no fad diets, and no super long workouts.

    Call or email today to learn more about my fitness and fat loss programs that will quickly change your life.

    Why Your Workout Will Suck Without Carbs!

    Diego-and-Nate-Senior-Night-2015.jpg

    This low carb thing is not the craze it used to be, but there are an unfortunate many that still think that reducing the carbohydrates to dangerous levels is the best way to lose fat.
    WRONG! I will let our guest writer explain it further.
    -Nate

    Why Your Workout will Suck without Carbs!
    by Lee Cork

    While carbs are often warned against as bad for your health, a moderate amount of carbs can give you a boost of energy that is actually much needed for your workout.

    Low carb diets are promoted as a healthy alternative nowadays, but carbs are actually good for you--it's the excess of carbs that is not.

    The trendiness of low carb diets have created a fear of carbs, but carbs are very beneficial to everyone, especially those who are active.

    They should be consumed on a daily basis. It is especially important to eat before a workout. If you don't, you will be quite low of energy, and will not be able to exercise to the best of your ability.

    Since carbs are the most important energy source for the body, you should consume healthy carbs before working out to get an adequate workout.

    There are both good carbs and bad carbs. Bad carbs come from pastas, white bread, cereals, pastries made with white flour, and processed sugary drinks, candy, and deserts.

    All of these bad carbs increase your risk for obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and a host of other negative effects. This is why carbs are written off as "bad" and low carb diets are so widely promoted.

    There are lots of proven Muscle Building diets and techniques similar to those found in this Bodybuilding Program by Ben Pakulski.

    These unhealthy foods just happen to be filled with carbs; but that doesn't make carbs themselves necessarily bad. There are perfectly healthy replacements of these foods that are not only healthy, but have the adequate amount of carbohydrates that you need to be highly energized.

    Easy to find alternatives to these include high carb fruits and vegetables, along with whole grain pasta and bread. Avoid breads that are made with white flour and stick to eating whole grains.

    A couple of hours before your workout, have a meal that includes healthy carb filled foods like brown rice, whole grains, and pasta.

    If you choose to eat closer to your workout, say thirty minutes before, then opt to eat whole grain cereal, crackers, or bread.

    After your workout, consume things like yogurt, fruit smoothies, energy bars and chocolate milk.

    During your workout, you can have a carbohydrate drink. How many carbs you have depends on your goals; do you intend to lose fat, or build muscle?

    Plan how many carbs you will have in a day based on that.

    If you intend to build muscle, then it is best to have carbohydrates before your workout.

    It is recommended to have a meal that is fueled with carbohydrates an hour or two before your workout.

    If you are trying to lose fat, then eat a reduced carbohydrate meal before your workout to keep your calorie intake low.

    Wassup' with this 'Chiro' Thing?

    Diego-and-Nate-Senior-Night-2015.jpgI have been associated with our guest writer Paul Becker for over a decade now and he is considered one of the foremost authorities in the world of Natural Bodybuilding and fitness. We have covered this chiropractor issue many times before, but Paul gives us a unique perspective.
    -Nate


    Checking in with the Bone Cracker


    Working out can sometimes cause your body to get out of alignment or put some other strain on the structure of your body. When this happens it is a wise idea to check in with a good chiropractor and have them help you get back in alignment. Dealing with heavy duty weights on a consistent basis means you need to keep your structure as viable as possible, and a chiropractor is a great way to do so. In fact many of the top bodybuilding pros see a chiropractor on a regular basis and one former multi Mr. Olympia (Franco Columbu) was himself a chiropractor.




    Test

    How do you know if the chiropractor you are using is good or not? The next time you get a sore back, be deliberately vague on your symptoms. That’s because a good chiropractor can find the problem on his or her own, and a quack can’t. A good chiropractor uses the hands to check the body over and in this checking they find the source of the problem, and then go to work fixing it. So if your chiropractor can get to the issue without you having to be specific, you have a good chiropractor.

    Occasional Visit

    You don’t need to go to a chiropractor all the time and indeed going too often can drain your wallet. However, an occasional visit is well worth the money and effort and will pay off with big dividends in your training. When your body is free from the impairments that a structure out of alignment causes you can then lift and train at maximum output and that is worth a lot. Also being properly aligned in your structure helps prevent other injuries from occurring.

    Consider getting your body adjusted by a chiropractor every now and then to help keep the foundation upon which you build your muscles in top condition.

    Why Natural Bodybuilding Is Your Best Option To Build Muscle

    mwp_virtual_trainer.jpgGood Morning Athletes and Warriors!
    No one need to fear the word bodybuilding. As a matter of fact when big box gym trainers and other 'schemers' use the phrase: "Body Sculpting", don't you know that is just another word for Body building? Most body builders are natural body builders. You will see why training like a Natural body builder is a great way to a strong, healthy, and attractive physique; without all of the trappings of performance enhancing drugs and other' yuucky bodybuilderish' stuff.
    -Nate



    Why Natural Bodybuilding Is Your Best Option To Build Muscle
    by Ricardo D Argence

    When you are in a place where you want a better body and just to be healthier all around, it is time for you to take a look at Natural Bodybuilding. Natural Bodybuilding is the process of losing fat, gaining muscle and generally being healthier without resorting to things like anabolic steroids or HGH.

    You are putting your health and your progress on the line when you take a substance. Whenever you want to see an improvement in the ability to maintain the shape that you are in, you must turn to Natural Bodybuilding

    Natural Bodybuilding can be a considered a return to something much more basic to our bodies. After all, in nature, we do not require steroids or HGH to build up our muscles. We developed our muscles because we needed them and because the things that we eat can encourage the growth of our muscles.

    With that in mind, it is easy to see why Natural Bodybuilding is so good for you. You are taking things at a speed that your body can handle, and you are also in a place where your body can move forward and keep the shape that you get into.

    Make sure that you remember that natural Bodybuilding will take a holistic approach toward all of the work that you are doing. You should keep a close eye on your eating habits and how your body is affected by them. Because of this, considering your diet is essential. You'll find that whole grains, fresh vegetables, and lean meats all top the list of things that you should eat.

    You will find that you are going to want to avoid eating foods that are too sugary or too overly processed and that you will want to pay special attention towards looking at the role that protein plays in your eating habits. Eating too many sugars and processed food you're just adding fat and not muscle. Instead, concentrate on proteins and what they can do for you. The only way to heal torn muscle fiber from a hard work out is natural protein.

    There's a couple of things you must never forget: first, there are no easy routes to Natural Bodybuilding. Second, this program will allow you to make significant yet natural changes to your life. Rather than something that is going to go away the minute that you break a cycle, it will be real progress.

    By doing this, you are building strength in a healthy way. You are not hurting or damaging your body, and this is important to take into account.

    While there are a lot of different ways to get there, make sure that you take a look at Natural Bodybuilding and see what it can do for you. It is very important to work towards the body that you want. Natural Bodybuilding is the best way to achieve your fitness goals.
