This is a great exercise to throw in at the end of a leg workout to really tap out those legs, or as a complimentary exercise in a full body workout. This exercise can be very demanding even with light weight because you are combining two great leg exercises; lunges and squats. GET THAT BURN!!!!!

Pro Basketball Player Off-Season Conditioning Workout

Chest Bump, Chest Bump!!!! In nine training sessions (5 weeks) Amit Tamir changed his body to the point that this coming season should be one of his best, playing professional basketball overseas. Amit also lifted 3 days a weeks as well as worked on his game 2 days a week. We also followed every conditioning session with 20 minutes of cardio to help increase caloric expenditure. Amit was an absolute pleasure to coach, his work ethic, positive attitude, and discipline to stay focused on his diet and weight room workouts when we weren’t training together were key to his success. This video is two different workouts both created to strengthen certain areas that Amit needed to strengthen to stay injury free for next year, and all of the workouts incorporated a conditioning aspect to help Amit lean out. Thanks Amit, and thanks for viewing everybody!!!! Create a great day-Coach T

Metabolic Finisher using Heavy Rope!!!!!!!

Metabolic finishers are used to help you obtain a better “after burn” meaning burning more calories once you are done with your workout. Studies through the National Strength and Conditioning Association have shown clients burning calories up to 72 hours AFTER their workout!!!! This is based on how intense your training is, and how efficient you are using your time while training. If every 5 minutes you’re stopping your workout to chat about how the CELTICS are going to MOLLYWOP the lakers, your “after burn” could be non-existent :) Thanks for viewing and create a great day!!!!!! Click link to check out the heavy rope. :)

Top 3 Hip Strengthening Exercises!!!

First off, Feliz Dia De Los Madres!!! In the spirit of Mexico and Shakira songs being on the radio every three minutes, I figured a hip strengthening vid was in order!!!!! Obviously, exercises like squats, cleans, snatches are amazing for increasing your hips explosiveness. These three exercises do a fantastic job of isolating your hips, and are extremely better for you than those “giving birth” hip abduction and adduction machines. Guys we don’t look too manly on those things, and they can trigger low back and sciatic issues. Thanks for viewing and create a great day!!!! -Coach T
