Online personal training with cpt Sarah Hougen


DO I NEED Online Personal Training?

Lately, I have received mails and personal messages from people who have read my inputs on forums and entries on my blogs, asking for personal guidance and exercise programs, as well as a nutrition program. Some ask me because they are not satisfied with their gym’s trainer, some don’t dare ask a question in person, others have no gym membership or trainers and wonder how to get started, and there are those who have been training for a long time and have become bored with their routine and/ or reached a plateau.

Stop Bench Pressing Immediately!


It happened again this morning, another victim claimed by the flat bench press. My buddy called and told me he tore his pec while benching heavy over the weekend. It didn’t shock me at all. This lift has been destroying shoulders and tearing pecs since the beginning.

Back in the golden days of the Iron Game, when the military press was the upper body exercise of choice, nobody ever heard of rotator cuff injuries or pec tears. It was only after the bench press achieved extreme popularity that shoulders and pecs started getting obliterated at record rates.

The science behind brevity training


The workout protocol is based on the science of hypertrophy as well as psychophysiology, the study of the mind/body connection.

I will delve into the mental aspects of the protocols in a later article. For now, since most of you are experienced, educated and (dare I say it) hard-core, let’s delve into the meat.

7 Minute Muscle is primarily a density-based training system. It demands varying rep ranges done within specific time periods. The protocol factors six of the primary variables of hypertrophy, or muscle growth: Intensity, Load, Volume, Density, Time and Force. (Time includes rest intervals as well as the time required to perform a given task.)

Why Weight Lifting Is An Exercise That Delivers Top Health Benefits


Far too many people overlook the many health and fitness benefits that weight training has to offer, and because of this, experience problems down the road with their body such as decreased bone density, a slowed metabolic rate, increased stress levels and other negative consequences that are associated with constant stress.

Ab Definition Comes From the Back


One thing that most people who train for improved abs do not realize is that they need to train their backs at the same time. Without having a proper balance between abdominal and low back strength, there is a change in posture, ultimately resulting in a decreased physique, decreased oxygenation to muscles, and decreased endurance. This means that you will spend more time in the gym, take less away from your workout, and feel more tired the next day. Sounds terrible, right?

The Problem with Weight Loss: Your Body Will Do The Opposite.


Homeostasis is the property of a living organism, that regulates its internal environment so as to maintain a stable, constant condition.

When you don’t drink enough water in the short term — often the body retains water. It attempts to maintain homeostasis by counteracting the stresses we put on it.

When you drink a lot of extra water - your body excretes more water to maintain balance.

A secret experiment for HARDGAINERS?


Are you someone who has a hard time putting on weight?

Does it feel like someone put a “voodoo curse” on your genetics that makes it seem IMPOSSIBLE to put on any muscle?

Well guess what…

…you really ARE “cursed”!

I know…that’s not what you wanted to hear, right?

Well the fact is that your body really IS “different” than someone else who seems to be able to eat Twinkies and still pack on muscle mass.

Another Reason Your Muscle Building Program Sucks


One of the most popular, faulty and dangerous myths espoused in nearly every muscle building program is that you must use a full range of motion on every exercise in order to achieve maximal growth. Supposedly you have to take each movement to the fully stretched position and then finish in the fully “peak” contracted position. If you don’t you will never get huge… or so they say.

Without getting all technical and scientific let’s just look at a few real world examples to see if this advice makes any sense at all.

7 Minute Muscle Reviewed by Sarah (cpt)


7MM for short. And that’s what this is about. Short. Save time. Train fast and furious and get on with other things.

Well, fast and furious, not quite. When you buy the 7MM e-book, the download page also gives you 6 videos showing you how to do the training involved. It’s not fast per se; just quick.
