Being that you’re into fitness you’ve probably seen some of those crazy reports about protein powders being dangerous.
Well, I can’t speak for all companies, but I can tell you:
1) Prograde has passed with flying colors.
2) Those reports in the media were entirely misleading.

Well as i have been saying to many of my clients who all watch the Biggest Loser THE SHOW IS A SCAM!

That is in NO WAY the proper way to lose weight, It is not healthy for the body or mentally.

The only good thing that may come from the show is making people think they can do it, which they can just not at the rate they do on the show, well at least without causing serious health risks!

Please watch this video

and let me know what you think!

As a result I am working on putting together the biggest transformation contest Philadelphia has ever seen!

It will be called Philadelphia’s Biggest Winners, and will feature teams of 5 competing to see who can lose the most combined body fat!

Why body fat you may ask because it is a much better indicator of proper health, its better to lose fat than just water weight or muscle mass like they do in th well i dont even want to say the name of that show any more!

So please

As some of you may or may not know I am the new father of a beautiful baby boy Justus Lee who is a month and a half old!

I did not have a father growing up so this will be my first year celebrating father’s day so i wanted to pass this special occasion along to all of you as well!

Real World Strength Coach Fathers Day Special!!!!!!!!

Want to provide the gift of health for Father’s Day?

There are no miracle pills or potions. There are no shortcuts.
If you want to look great naked you MUST have a solid nutrition plan in place and exercise intensely.
That’s what I believe. And that’s what my partners over at Prograde Nutrition believe also.
They’ve got a new product coming out next week that you need to know more about. It’s based on years of research into what works when it comes to boosting metabolism.
And what I really love is that they – unlike all the other supplement companies out there – are telling you NOT to buy the product if you don’t have the foundations of fitness in place already.
In other words, if you think you can just sit on the couch and eat potato chips and lose all the weight you want by taking a couple of capsules, well, don’t waste your time.
You MUST be working out hard…you MUST be eating “clean”…for a product like Prograde Metabolism to be worth your time and money.
Remember:
There are no miracle pills.
There are no shortcuts.
Ok, so check out the story behind Prograde Metabolism right here becaus it is pretty cool that a supplement company is so honest.

 Hey Strength Fans here’s a great article from CBS news on what I’ve been telling you for along time now, if you haven’t been listening to me maybe you will listen to the big name news organizations!

(CBS/AP) 

People who complain they have no time to exercise may soon need another excuse.

Some experts say intense exercise sessions could help people squeeze an entire week’s workout into less than an hour. Intense exercise regimens, or interval training, was originally developed for Olympic athletes and thought to be too strenuous for normal people.

But in recent years, studies in older people and those with health problems suggest many more people might be able to handle it. If true, that could revolutionize how officials advise people to exercise – and save millions of people hours in the gym every week. It is also a smarter way to exercise, experts say.

“High-intensity interval training is twice as effective as normal exercise,” said Jan Helgerud, an exercise expert at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. “This is like finding a new pill that works twice as well … we should immediately throw out the old way of exercising.”

Intense interval training means working very hard for a few minutes, with rest periods in between sets. Experts have mostly tested people running or biking, but other sports like rowing or swimming should also work.

“You need to stress your body, that’s the key,” says “Early Show” medical correspondent Dr. Jennifer Ashton.

She added, “Your body wants to go to a steady state. So even if that’s on a treadmill, it wants to stay at one level and stay there.”

Special Section: Dr. Jennifer Ashton

Ashton said integral training is an “uber” workout.

“It improves your oxygen use. It improves your endurance. It improves your strength,” she said. “All of those things better for your heart, better for your mind and makes your exercise more fun.”

Helgerud recommends people try four sessions lasting four minutes each, with three minutes of recovery time in between. Unless you’re an elite athlete, it shouldn’t be an all-out effort.

“You should be a little out of breath, but you shouldn’t have the obvious feeling of exhaustion,” Helgerud said.

In Britain and the U.S., officials recommend that people get about two and a half hours each week of moderate exercise.

Helgerud says that time could be slashed dramatically if people did interval training instead. He said officials have been too afraid of recommending intense training, fearing it might be too much for some people.

“I’m much more afraid of people not exercising at all,” he said. “Inactivity is what’s killing us.”

When compared to people on a normal exercise routine, like jogging, research has shown those doing interval training can double their endurance, improve their oxygen use and strength by more than 10 percent, and their speed by at least 5 percent. Even studies in the elderly and in heart patients found they had better oxygen use and fitness after doing interval training.

Still, most studies have been done in young, healthy adults, and experts advise people to consult a doctor before starting any fitness program.

For Adamson Nicholls, a 36-year-old Londoner and martial arts enthusiast, interval training is a way to boost his endurance so he can outlast sparring opponents. “It’s a shortcut to explosive fitness,” he said, adding the training results in snappier and heavier punches.

Using interval training, Nicholls got into top shape last year in about six weeks, using weekly 45-minute sessions. He estimates the same level would have taken about three months via regular training.

Experts say that’s because intense bursts of activity are precisely what the body needs to build stronger muscles. Traditional workouts lasting an hour or more simply don’t push the body enough.

“A lot of the (benefits) from exercise are due to a stress response,” said Stephen Bailey, a sports sciences expert at the University of Exeter. “If you disturb your muscles, there’s an imbalance created and your body will start signaling pathways that result in adjustments.”

Bailey said intense bursts of exercise help the body to convert one type of muscle fiber into another type that uses oxygen more efficiently and is capable of exercising a lot longer. Even though interval training only takes a few minutes, its effects last for hours.

“You’ve exercised at such a high intensity that you’re going to create a massive disturbance in your muscles,” Bailey said. That creates a higher metabolism for several hours afterward, which the body will bring down by burning fat and carbohydrates.

Helgerud and others predicted that as further studies confirm interval training is safe for wider populations, authorities will include it in their exercise guidelines.

“This is definitely the way forward to save time on your exercise,” Nicholls said. “The results are worth it.”

Philadelphia’s Best Personal Trainer Shares 3 Great Pumpkin Exercises to Burn Belly Fat

Hey Strength Fans you know that i love to piggyback on current events to invigorate his fitness boot camp workouts. This Halloween, I will be holding his 1^st  annual Halloween Charity Boot Camp event with all proceeds going to the Philabundance.

You can approach Halloween one of two ways. The first option is to go nuts with all of the eats and treats. The second is to indulge in moderation and offset any extra caloric consumption with a seasonal pumpkin workout.

I recommend the later… it’s a lot more figure-friendly!”

Pumpkins can be used just like medicine balls for an unlimited number of exercise options. 

Here are my  top three total body pumpkin exercises that guarantee to help you burn fat and build muscle in minimal time. He recommends performing at least one circuit of the following three pumpkin exercises, with little to no rest between movements, for every Halloween treat you eat:

1) Pumpkin Swings: Holding a pumpkin in your hands with your arms extended, stay on your heels and push your hips back while bringing the pumpkin underneath your body while keeping your eyes up and chest out. Then push your hips forward and swing the pumpkin up to chest level being sure to squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement. Repeat for 10 total reps.

2) Pumpkin Curl to Squat to Presses: Holding a pumpkin in your hands with your arms extended, curl the pumpkin to your chest as your squat down until your front thighs are parallel to the floor with your eyes up and your weight on your heels. Then simultaneously stand up and press the pumpkin overhead. Repeat for 10 total reps.

3) Pumpkin Burpees: Holding a pumpkin in your hands with your arms extended, squat down to the floor, then jump your legs out to assume a push-up position. Perform a push-up with your hands on the pumpkin and then reverse the movement to stand back up. Repeat for total 10 reps.

I will be holding my 1^st  annual Halloween Charity Boot Camp Workout on Saturday, October 31st at 12:30 pm at The Real World Strength Coach Gym at 116 Fountain St. Philadelphia Pa 19127. Attendees will also be heading over to a special after party at Kildares Irish Pub immediately following the workout. For more information on this event, please go to www.realworldstrengthcoach.com .
