WEIGHT TRAINING 101/Recap/Reminders

Recap of the 30 Weight Training 101 Intro Talk   The answer to so many of your questions of.... Why you have belly fat although you work out? HORMONES Why am I not getting stronger? MUSCULAR ENDURANCE & NOT MUSCULAR STRENGTH Why am I getting injured, over & over& over? WEAK TENDON CONNECTION What should I eat? REAL FOOD I want a 6-pack? APPLY RESISTIVE FORCES I lost weight and have "saggy" skin, how can I "tone" it up? PROTEIN & TRAINING VOLUME I went over briefly the "how to" of loading & unloading the EZ curl bar and straight bar and how to safely use the collars on these bars. Also, the weight of each bar: the EZ Curl bar weights 20 lbs and the straight bar weights 45 lbs. My guess is that many of those in attendance have not worked with this type of equipment and are not comfortable  going into a Weight Room setting to set up & use this equipment. Hopefully, the quick explanation of these two new pieces will allo...

Peanut Butter Rounds

This is a very energy-dense snack to get the right amount of energy stored in the muscles (glycogen) for high-intensity, long duration (up to 2 hrs), workouts. They are more difficult to digest so are best eaten before a workout or race (at least 2 hours). I use to eat 1 right before my morning long runs and could sustain my running pace for a good 2 - 4 hour run. I am sharing this with everyone who has had trouble finding the right food to fuel the body before a workout. there is nothing magical about, just the right amount of high- good carbohydrates. As far as measurements, use your best judgment. I use more peanut butter and Nectar and the flour so that it forms a thicker stronger substance and doesn't fall apart. They can last in a plastic bag for days...I keep mine refrigerated. Eat up and enjoy!!! Train & eat like an athlete.
