Get Out Of Commercial Gyms Now!

Just returned from my trip home in Slovenia and Im tired but excited to get things rolling in the new year! It was great to see everyone and spend time with family and friends and as always time flies when you’re having fun.

I fit a lot into the trip as I wanted to take my wife to Venice (I will have a short video and some thoughts from that trip) and spend a couple of days in the mountain cabin while also getting in my training. Even though there was tons of excuses why I shouldn’t train, I wanted to stay on point in achieving my goals and make sure that a couple of extra meals go where they need to (hint: muscles). On top of that the training helped me get more energy as I had jet lag for about a week!

While I was in Slovenia, my friend and brother told me that they have been training olympic weightlifting once a week in this old gym, and that I need to join them for a training session. As I am always intrigued I obliged, especially because they told me that it was real old school and they even had some kettlebells that are like a 100 years old. After arriving I realized that the coach is a former national team weightlifter which made it real good, because I have been meaning to work on my olympic lifting form. 

So how big was this place and what type of equipment was in it considering that top level athletes and even olympic athletes have trained there (and still do!). Check it out for yourself….

Warp Speed Fat Loss For Athletes

I am a real big believer that commitment, hard work and consistency are some of the most important traits when it comes to getting results with training for any physical goal (and any other endeavor in life for that matter). I also believe that you can fast track your results if you listen and learn from the right people and apply that knowledge. Here is an example of being smart and listening to someone that is smarter than you….

The task at hand was dropping some bodyweight (most of all fat) from Matt Fields body as he came back from his baseball season and Tampa Bay Rays instructional camp (Matt used to weigh close to 300 lbs but that is another story). Matt actually did a good job of staying in great shape during the season and maintaining his athleticism. The long season did take it’s toll on his physique a little bit and we wanted to get his body looking, feeling and performing at top level as soon as possible so that he can come into training camp an absolute “beast” (I’ve realized that this is my word of choice, so deal with it).

A Day In The Life

Think about what your day looks like and what you would like it to look like. Every once in a while I sit down and asses what is going on in my life and whether I’m making progress with my goals. Many times you will find that you are far from where you want to be and you aren’t doing a damn thing about it! I work more than I would like and affect less people than I would like (by improving their performance or their physique) but it’s always a work in progress and I am dedicated to to creating that perfect day for myself. So here is where I am right now…..
