A Powerful Partnership and 8 Weeks of Fun

Fraser — Fri, 01 May 2009 15:00:00 GMT

Well I have to admit - there's some stuff we've been keeping pretty quiet around here - waiting for the right moment. Well, that moment has now arrived!

Over the past 3 months or so we've forged an exciting partnership with John Berardi of Precision Nutrition and Alwyn Cosgrove of Results Fitness. Now I've introduced these guys through the blog and you've likely had a look at Gourmet Nutrition and taken in some of Alwyn's concepts so you all know how highly I regard both of them. In my opinion, they are among the best in the world at what they do.

(A thorn between two roses )

So when we decided to collaborate together to create a world class strength training program that combined traditional lifting techniques with a TRX metabolic circuit and cutting edge nutrition, we were all pretty excited. We then took this program and the academic ran some of his community members through it to compare the differences between the TRX metabolic circuits vs other cardiovascular based approaches. On the Precision Nutrition website this is know known as the "Infamous TRX workout"

A friend who frequents the PN website wrote me the following when he saw the reference "Makes me think of The Three Amigos: “Oh, no, Dusty…. this El Guapo is so famous that he’s IN famous.”

Anyway... John is still grinding through the analysis of the results but in the mean time we can take the entire 8 weeks and push it out to you for your own enjoyment!

The program is a progressive, 8 week plan that includes 2 days of more traditional strength training with 2 days of TRX metabolic circuit training. It's designed to be combined with the precision nutrition program.

The first two weeks of the program will be posted first thing on Monday morning for you to start to hammer on. Stick with it for 8 weeks and you are bound to see some serious differences in strength, conditioning and body composition.

So rest up from the April Spring Fever Challenge, and get ready for 8 weeks of fun as well as a new May Challenge from the devious mind of our very own Chris Frankel.

Stay tuned and be sure to check out the blog for the first two weeks of training on Monday!

Have a great weekend!

Easter Weekend Workout Challenge

Fraser — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 06:00:00 GMT

Easter weekend is here! On top of being a pivotal religious holiday it is also rife with family dinners and chocolate consumption. Now the age old debate of the pathological psychology of eating the ears or the tail of the easter Bunny first is not something I'll address in this post.

What I will put out is a great, challenging and time efficient workout challenge that you can blast through in under 40 minute. You will be able to add the effort of a good egg hunt on top of this to finish off your training for the weekend.

TRX - Kettlebell - Body Weight Fusion

I hope that you have a great holiday weekend and enjoy the workout.

On the 2nd Day of Christmas, TRX gave to me...

One TRX Cool Combo

This fusion of the Biceps Curl and Overhead Press is the first of the cool combo series and a great way to condense your workout.

Have fun!

TRX / Sandbag Fusion

Fraser — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 23:30:00 GMT

A lot has been made recently of the power of training with oddly weighted implements and among these, sand bag training has received quite a bit of attention. We've decided to give you an example of how you might combine TRX Suspension Training with sandbag exercises

to develop peak conditioning and also how to use the sandbag to increase the load of some of your favourite TRX exercises. Check out the video for 4 minutes of suffering and a great metabolic workout!

Hey Mike

Did you ever try the kettlebell TRX metabolic fusion that I posted? I'm sure my technique could be improved but I was looking forward to your take on it?

New Brutal TRX/KB Workout

mike.miranda — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 05:30:49 GMT

I tried out a new fusion workout yesterday and thought I was going to puke at the end. Three sets for time (one set is a complete circuit, rest 2-3 minutes between sets).

Hand-to-Hand KB Swings: 10 each hand (swing with the right, release at apex, bring back down with the left, repeat)

Suspended Lunge holding the KB: 10 each leg

Hamstring Curls: 10

Atomic Pushup Matrix: 10

Single Arm KB Snatch: 10 each arm

Back Row: 10

KB Clean and Jerk: 10 each arm

Deltoid "T": 10

KB Bent Press: 10 each side

After you do three sets, rest 2-3 minutes then do two core circuits:

Suspended Side Plank w/Taps: 10 each side

KB Turkish Get Ups: 5 each arm

Reverse Crunch: 10

I did this one with a buddy yesterday, so I was taking more time between exercises than I wanted even though we staggered our circuit start points but I was still gasping for air and begging for mercy by the end!
