As you get more advanced with your workouts a good goal to shoot for when doing machine exercises is to “Beat The Machine”.
Now what I mean by this is to stick to a particular weight stack machine exercise as a regular part of your workouts. Each week strive to better what you did the previous week by increasing the weight by 5 or 10 pound increments. And eventually work up to the point where you can rep out with the entire weight stack of the machine. This is what I refer to as “Beating The Machine”.
I cover this technique in more detail and actually demonstrate it in the video.
I’d love to hear your feedback about this one, have you ever “beat a machine” at your gym?
If so tell me about it by leaving a comment below…
And be sure to pick up your copy of my brand new “Hardcore Muscle Building Workout DVD”
I’m currently 6 weeks out from the Atlantic Canadian Bodybuilding Championships and I feel that I’m on track for getting absolutely ripped to the bone shredded for this show!
Below are some progress pics that I took this weekend…
I’m very pleased with how things are going. I’ve been following a low carb diet plan with strategic “carb & fat load” re-feed meals spaced in during the week and it’s really working well for me. I’ve been getting leaner and more ripped each week and I’ve been able to maintain strength and muscle in the process.
In fact I’ve outlined in detail everything that I’ve been doing in preparation for this show with regards to the exact diet plan I’m following, the exact supplements I’m taking, and the exact workouts I’m doing to blast away bodyfat and get ripped in my New DVD program:
Now I have to warn you…
This Is NOT Your Typical Beginners “Eat Right & Exercise” Fat Loss Program.
If You Are Already In Good Shape Now, But Want To Step It Up To The Next Level & Get In Awesome Shape. Then This Is The Advanced Fat Loss Program For You!
If one of your bodybuilding & fitness goals is to get ripped in time for hitting the beach and pool parties this summer, then you need to start training for it NOW!
And the “Extreme Fat Loss” program is your shortcut to getting that ripped beach body. Heck, I’m living proof that this stuff produces FAST Results! So why not give it a shot for yourself?
I’ve been getting a lot of video requests for trapezius workouts so last night myself and Patricia went in the gym and filmed some of our favorite exercises for building up the traps and upper back.
Early on in the video we had an interesting “workout blooper”…
Now most people would have probably edited this out, but we decided to leave it in for a bit of fun, and it also goes to show that not every exercise is good for every body
Regardless of what level you are currently at; whether you are brand new and looking to get in shape for summer. Or if you’ve been hitting the gym for several years and you’re looking to take your physique to the next level. There are unique workout programs and training strategies that will help you achieve your personal fitness goals.
This is a video blog of my fat loss progress at the 7 week out mark leading up to the 2010 Atlantics…
I’m really pleased with how things are going thus far and with 7 weeks of hardcore dieting to go I’m shooting to be as lean as a skinned rabbit on stage.
My weight is staying consistent, currently 206 pounds, but I’m getting leaner. That’s mainly due to the killer carb cycling strategy that I cover in my bodybuilding contest prep book. It allows you to strip away bodyfat while building lean mass at the same time.
One thing that I cover here in this video clip is a question that I get asked all the time:
“Lee, what’s your bodyfat percentage?”
So I actually measured my bodyfat percentage right on the video. But you are in for a surprise…
You’ll have to watch to see
