Counter that Preworkout N.O

In an effort to prevent the fucked up January I had health wise(sick twice) I have added an anti-oxidant addition to the daily optimal routine. The evidence is overwhelming, should have started this much earlier. But like joint support supplements, immune system supplements are something that becomes lax because eventually having pain free joints and never getting sick become your default state. You then start to think you’re a super hero and will be fine without them, that’s when you don’t keep up , it bites you in the ass  and you realize that they were actually providing benefits all along.

As a bodybuilder I take a lot of pre-workout, any good pre workout will have a shit load of  nitric oxide boosters. Nitric oxide is a powerful free radical,  If you hit the pre workouts for any amount of time you will get burned out and run down.  A big part of this is the free radicals wreaking havoc on the body. If your not familiar they are associated with aging, inflammation, stroke and heart disease. Combined with intense workouts, that’s a lot of bad shit floating around the bloodstream. The pump N.O provides is too much too give up for me, so in an effort to balance out the preworkout intake I will  increase the amount of flavonoids I intake. Particularly Pycnogenol which quenches not only N.O molecules but other even more potent free radicals up to and including radiation poisoning(the deadliest free radicals)

Pycnogenol is a combination of flavonoids derived from pine bark, another great effect besides the powerful anti-free radical properties is that it greatly increases the longvety and effectiveness of  vitamin C, enhancing the immune system and thus recovery.

So before giving it a permanent place in the routine I will spend the next day researching then purchasing some form of these flavanoids. After a month I will give my recommendation

Your Circuit Training Sucks

Group Training is far superior to one on one training, this I have concluded over the course of the last few years. As a trainer or trainee the benefits are many, the previous notion was that one on one training is more valuable or the gold standard so to say. I have a couple of groups that I would consider charging more than the 1 on 1 price to join. That's how much the benefits of a good training group can be.
     Remember that the training style I use in the gym(the most efficient and logical method there is...) fits perfectly for groups up to 6 people. Resistance training is to build muscle, not burn fat.Thus 3-5 minutes between sets like power lifters fits perfectly to a group training situation. Also I'm talking I'm there for every rep of their working sets. Not looking at a watch and blowing a whistle when the times up, to hell with form (circuit training) which is the current group training method today. They even built a franchise from it. Now combine the 1 on 1 attention with the motivation and shit talking of the group, and you get a formula for not only super intense and productive workouts, but you get an awesome support group and tight group of new friends  This takes everybody's results up and makes my job and everyone else  much easier. I am going to give all 2 of my readers a treat and follow my favorite group through workouts as they get ready for summer.
I will be documenting here and on video, there is something inspiring for everybody in the vids. So tomorrow I will go over brief description of the group and goals and begin putting up the videos. Only then will get what I  say when i talk about the group training dynamic...stay tuned
