Hey Everyone

The great thing about a blog is that you can basically write what you want and don’t have to stick to a certain theme.

It’s simply an online journal and that is why I started one.

I love to share what I read because as I learn maybe I can help someone else learn something new as well.

What good is learning if you can’t share it and try to help others?

These days I’m reading the 7 Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra and what an amazing little book this is turning out to be.

Here’s my favorite quote so far: “The past is history, the future is mystery, and this moment is a gift.

That is why this moment is called “The Present”

Profound indeed and it really struck deep with me because I love to think about the future which is not a bad thing.

But I’m guilty of doing it and forgetting that I really have to be thankful for what is.

And that is the present moment

A great book indeed and it’s really simple reading with great lessons that you can apply to any part of your life

Hey Everyone

At age 40 something Bernard Hopkins beat 26 year old middle weight boxing champion Kelly Pavlik handing him his first ever boxing defeat.

I truly believe this is a testament to Hopkin’s life long committment to stay in top shape year round.

At his age he knows all the tricks of the trade and had the perfect game plan against what many thought (including myself) would be a loss to Kelly Pavlick.

Bravo to you Bernard Hopkins!

Both gentlemen actually have great training regiments as boxers simply have to.

Kelly’s team subscribe to the under ground training methods made popular these days by good friend from New Jersey, Zack Even-Esh:

Make sure to check out Zach’s web at http://www.undergroundstrengthcoach.com

Bernard uses a more traditonal approach to his training but I did catch a big secret that many people don’t use and that is the use of a weighted training suit.

I actually caught Bernard using the power vest which was invented by Candian Fitness Expert, Lebert Veira.

http://www.thepowersuit.com

The vest is also popular with teams from MLB, NBA, NFL & the NHL.

How would I know all this you may ask.

Lebert was kind enough to send me his suit when he learned of my stairs program and my work with elite basketball players.

Unfortunately the vest was the wrong size but the pants were perfect and I put them to use right away.

Besides using them with my hill sprints and stair work I simply wore the weighted pants under my shorts for about a week and actually lost 4 pounds!

I also noticed an increased muscularity in my legs.

Imagine If I had worn the entire suit!

I will eventually and report back to you.

So give those 2 sites a look as they can certainly help you with your goals and let me know what you think:

Hey Everyone

Here’s a video commentary and training footage of my work with pro basketball training prospect Jamael Lynch of Brooklyn, NY.

Jamael exemplifies what it takes to make it as a pro athlete (besides the obvious physical skills).

He’s willing to seek out advice from people who know what they are talking about (and have actually worked with and helped pro athletes succeed)

He’s also willing to do what it takes physically and conform to a schedule to meet the demands of a pro athlete.

Jamael as you will hear & see was put through a tough stair workout that would make anyone puke and went through it like nothing

He also met me at the gym at 5AM and was ready and willing to do whatever I asked

Bravo Jamael

Just make sure to get me tickets to your first pro game!

Enjoy the video!

Hello again Everyone

First of all a big thank you if you were on the coaching call on Thursday night

This coming weekend I’m off to rub elbows with,  network with and learn from many of today leading  health & fitness professionals in Stamford Connecticutt.

And if it’s one tip I can give you about acheiving your health & fitness goals its to never rest on
what you already know

You already know how valuable stair training is from  reading my emails, blog posts and even more if you actually use stair training.

But what else could help take your health & fitness to the next levels?

There is always something more you can learn

And I will repeat that

There is always something more you can learn

Presently I’m enrolled in a course that cost me close to 3000 dollors but I know its actually a bargain because I know the lifetime value of this course will be worth at least 50 times that

I’m also spending over 500 to attend this weekends conference and for me its a steal and a tremendous
bargain

The main point I want to drive home is to never stop learning

And I really mean that

Never stop learning till the day you die

I’ll leave you with one question

What are you going to learn today?

Hey Everyone

Here’s a recent study on the value of stair training.

I was made aware of it by a gentlemen named Peter Wright from Liverpool England.

Thanks again Peter

Now personally I’m more into the anecdotal findings of stair training and feel that we should not wait for a study to prove if it’s worth your time.

As world famous strength coach,  Juan Carlos Santanna of the Institute of Human Performance put it: “You can’t wait for science to prove everything as a lifetime will pass you by”

This comes from a gentlemen that has designed numerouse studies and carries out numerous studies at his Institute for Human Performance.

Your body does a better job of finding what works for you than science will ever do.

But I do check out the research from time to time for the scientific types

Here’s the link and let me know what you think:

Hey Everyone

Here’s a link to an MSNBC news article stating that a mere 7 minutes of stairs a day can lower heart risk by 60 percent.
