I’ve been around a long time and I’ve seen most of the muscle building programs promoted on the internet.  And let me tell you something, they are missing MANY very essential components.

I’ve summarized these missing components in my new killer video.  It is the one you’ve been waiting for from me.

It has PROOF!

Proof that AMD works and builds sick muscle.  I know what I’m talking about and guess what, in the AMD manual, I list all of the scientific studies that back up the program!

I think you’ll like this one, you have to check it out.

Here is an old video of us hitting heavy support grip holds for time on the GRex.

Support grip is one component of grip strength. The others are crush, pinch, wrist postures and hand health.

Grip strength is the forgotten element of functional training and is essential since the hands are involved in all athletic and strength training endeavor (including building muscle or losing fat).

In fact the hands are the end point of the kinetic chain, so they must be developed if we hope to transfer the power created and accumulated from our bodies and express it through our hands.

I’ve got a few clients I’ve been training who are frustrated.

They’re frustrated because they are not reaching their goals… QUICKLY.

The simple fact is, it takes time.

Whether your goal is to gain muscle or lose fat, it doesn’t happen over night.  It takes day in and day out consistency.

For nutrition, remember the 80/20 rule?  It means that if you stick to your sound nutritional plan 80% of the time, you will be successful.  The other 20% would include your reward “day” after being consistent all week.

For strength training, everyone talks about the 23/1 rule.  That basically says, during the 1 hour in the gym, we have to activate what has been shut down, mobilize what has become immobile and warm-up/train/rehab – to counterbalance the negative effects of the other 23 hours.

If you have clients that aren’t reaching their goals, you have to reel them back in.  Do not allow them to slip on their nutrition by having them keep their food journal more diligently.  Ensure their intensity in the gym is appropriate with their program.  Provide them with the tools to build their support structure; family, friends, facebook support groups, etc.

This is not a game of 12 weeks and I’m done.  You have to explain to your clients that this is a lifestyle change for there to be any chance of longevity.

Also, knowledge is power and the more you “teach” while you train, the better equipped your clients will be to make informed decisions moving forward.

Sometimes, you will have the “you’ve got no where else to go” moment and you have to be honest, dig in and recommit yourself back to consistency.  Then you will be able to power through it and reach your goals.

Did you know that AMD is coming out soon?  It is my new muscle building program that provides the “how-to” and the “why” on how muscle is build and the strategies to be successful – long term.

Here is a recent post directed to me on the Elite Q/A:

Jim what are your 5 favorite standing abdominal movements?

____________________________________________________

Cory,

In no particular order, here are some of the top abdominal exercises.

– zercher squat, bracing the torso, under tension, while engaging movements of the lower body

– explosive med ball rotational throws, no deceleration

– core statics – lateral shuffles with agitation and breathing regulation, anti-rotation

– pull-ups – upper back muscular is an essential component of core strength

– deadlifts – full body movement requiring bracing (rigidity) and is essential for developing posterior chain, the other half of the core

________________________________________________
