• • Thirty Five. Principle Lessons

    • Principle One

      • Our program needs to fit our experience level.

      • Advanced training methods are for advanced trainers. Beginners need to learn the lifts. Train the body to be more flexible and prepare it to increase the loads it will lift months and years down the road. Volume is appropriate in the early learning period to master the movements.

      • Workout for beginners or deconditioned athletes:

        • Goblet Squats

        • ½ Turkish Get Ups

        • Lawn Mowers (one-arm rows)

        • Push Ups

        • Suitcase Carries

      • Do a couple of reps of each exercise and get a feel for it. Do it again but make sure we are doing each rep right. Try to do a little bit more each time we workout. Either increase the sets or increase the reps. Try to complete this workout six or seven times within a two week period.

    • Principle Two

      • Most people need to get stronger. To get more muscle mass the body needs to be put under some stress.Strong guys forget hypertrophy and bodybuilders forget strength. We need to do both.

    • Principle Three

    • Separate fat loss from the rest of our yearly goals. Fat loss is not a long term process. Fat loss demands focus. Single focus. Fat loss is a war. There are no little steps. Give fat loss it’s twenty eight days then move on to the rest of our goals.
