Muscle Up
Wednesday morning Jay and Ben nailed their first-ever muscle-ups after 6 months of trying.
Check out the video of the big guy's attempt later that day.
World-Class Fitness in 100 Words:
- Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
- Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.
- Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense.
- Regularly learn and play new sports.

Flip Side of Fat Loss
At any given time, your body is either getting stronger or weaker. It's either getting leaner or fatter. There is no in between.
Even if you weigh the same as you did ten years ago, your body isn't the same. Fat has accumulated as your muscle has deteriorated. And since muscle is the MOST metabolically active tissue in your body, well, that's not a good thing.
That's why I teach in my Small Group Training program how important it is to preserve lean muscle tissue.
One reason fat loss experts recommend eating 5-6 small meals a day is because the frequent calories help maintain your lean tissue. Yes, the very same tissue that melts fat off your body.
If you've been gaining weight slowly, but steadily,
if your weight has maintained over the years, but your clothes don't fit anymore...you need to take immediate action to flip your body's metabolism back around.
You need to eat those small, frequent, nutritious meals. You also need to incorporate high energy strength training into your exercise program.
The choice is simple: Weak or strong? Healthy or unhealthy? Lean or lumpy?
Oh, and the choice is YOURS.
