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).

Built For Show

I respect the hell out of anyone that does the “extra” to go from ordinary to extraordinary.

Nate Green took a bank loan out to go to go to a couple of seminars three years ago (how many people tell me they can’t afford it, I understand but if you really want it then you do the “extra”) and today he has a contract with T-Nation, has his own book deal, is on the advisory board of Maximum Fitness and owns his own gym. Shows you that things happen when you take continuous action, dedicate yourself to a goal and walk the talk.

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…..

What Foods Are You Bringing Home?

I don’t think I need to go into how important nutrition is, whether your goal is to become a powerhouse athlete or you are looking to get that sexy body you have been dreaming off.

It’s amazing how many people will come to the gym and bust their butt in the training session but not pay attention to what they eat after they come home (or before they left home for that matter). Then there are people who decide that they will commit to eating right but never take action on it. You have to prepare yourself for success and do the shopping for the whole week (plan it) and also cook for the week or at least a couple of days ahead. That way you cannot have an excuse that you did not have time to get the food, make the food, your dog ate it, or anything else that comes to your mind.

Here is a video of what I brought home from my Sunday shopping:

Top 10 Exercises For A Higher Vertical Jump

When I think about all the things I have done in my lifetime to improve my vertical jump it makes me laugh (and cry too sometimes) because I think of all the dumb things that I have done. That’s what happens when you listen to the “guru’s”. Back then I did not know any better and I followed anything I thought would give me a better vertical. Honestly, it has made me learn from my mistakes and seek out as much information as possible about what works and what doesn’t. I have tested everything on myself before I applied it to my athletes.

Nuggets Of Training Wisdom

Every week I get to read a number of articles, newsletters, journals and gardening magazines (only the first three are relevant to this post) and I get to digest a lot of information. Sometimes I see things that I shouldn’t do, sometimes I just find confirmation in the things that I am already doing and there is always something new that opens my mind to something I should be doing or incorporating into my training system. So here are some nuggets of wisdom:
