Passion is the Name of the Game

by. Aaron Anderson, Traininsanebc.blogspot.com

You got it. Passion is the name of the game and is the variable that will take you to the promise land. So many people never get what they want out of life for two simple reasons:

1. They have no clue what they actually want

2. They lack passion.

Life is about taking chances, doing what you love, and loving what you do. Life is too short to live the same day twice. I don’t care what you are trying to accomplish in life; if it isn’t fueled with passion, you might be missing the boat every time. Take strides each and every day to be 1% better than you were the previous day. Start living your dream. Because if YOU don’t chase your dream, then who will?

Why wait till tomorrow? The time is now!

"I'm going to lose 50lbs.... starting right... uh, tomorrow!"

I am going to be straight up with you... it takes an extraordinary amount of courage to live out your dream, but I can promise you this:

If you have a huge amount of passion, you will find a way to make it happen.

Choose what activities you want to experience while living. These are your dreams; prioritize them into goals and begin living them out every day. If you do that, you will wake up each and every morning with tremendous joy. Every day, take one task that scares you, and tackle it! Find activities that you are passionate about and go after them with a 'laser-like' focus! Don’t live someone else’s life. Live the life YOU have always dreamed of! Life is not a spectator sport, so start participating, and be an ALL-STAR!!

Choosing the Right Exercises for Fast Muscle Gain

By Jason Ferruggia

When I first started training, I didn’t know any better so I went to the gym and did all the machine exercises and isolation movements that I saw everyone else doing. I figured these would all lead to fast muscle gain and I would be huge in no time.

My dad knew a steroid-using Italian guy named Tony who owned a gym and competed in several bodybuilding shows. He asked Tony if he could write me a program and Tony obliged. I was bursting with excitement and thought this would be the difference maker in my training. I met with Tony at his office one day, and in a scene that could have been straight out of an episode of The Sopranos, he interrogated me about my muscle building program. I gave him a piece of paper with my workout on it and he took a long, hard look at it.

“Here’s whatcha gonna do. And I don’t wan any a’guments. You do dis and you’ll grow. Ya undastand me?”

“Yeah, definitely. No problem.”

He pulled out a legal pad and scrawled out my new training program. It was loaded with all of the exercises that all the top name bodybuilders in the magazines were always shown doing. Stiff arm pullovers, concentration curls, leg extensions, cable flyes, you name it—they were included.

I took my new program, thanked Tony, and left. The next few weeks would surely be an amazing time for me, I thought. The growth that I was about to experience would be dramatic, I just knew it.

But nothing happened.

You know why? Because those exercises suck, that’s why. Sure, the volume was too high for my limited recovery ability at the time, but if he had me doing the right exercises, I might have experienced some kind of gains.

Choosing the right exercises could ultimately be the difference between lightening fast muscle gain and absolutely no muscle gain whatsoever. No matter how well thought out your workout plan is, if you use the wrong exercises, it will be completely useless. Even a bad training program will yield some results if you are using the right exercises. For these reasons, exercise selection is one of the most important components of any muscle building system.

So how do you choose the best exercises?

The best mass building exercises are always multi joint, free weight, compound exercises that use as much muscle mass as possible and allow you to use heavy weights. This includes movements like squats, deadlifts, chin ups, dips, overhead presses and rows. If you are desperately seeking fast muscle gain, the last thing you should ever waste your time doing is using machine or isolation exercises during your workouts. These exercises are great at producing that burning feeling that so many people love and can often lead to a great pump, but they do very little to pack on massive size or build real world, functional strength.
