Reasons Traditional Health Clubs Suck #438

Maybe this has happened to you.

Perhaps it has happened to one your loved ones.

Either way, to a fault, its gravity’s dilemma, and health club owners, staffers and lucky witnesses should be holding this unconquerable force accountable.

But in a P.C. world you can’t be a material girl and have your cake and eat your shoes too!

Well fuck you I’m eating shoes today Starla!

And I’m going to begin with the ones I use to deadlift #almightydrop #wasthatadisc #icrushoncreatine. When I am finished digesting them and passing said #funkychunky I will create you the greatest caloric blended gut wrenching protein shake of your life Globo-Gym! #howdoesmyinnerliningtaste

“Take Pride In How Far You Have Come,

And Have Faith In How Far You Can Go.”

 

Truer words have never been written, or spoken.

 

To embrace the challenges, overcome them, and move forward enlightened with your efforts is an overwhelming emotion. It is no coincidence that these obstacle races and events have blasted off into the mainstream.

They are empowering.

They are enlightening.

They are awakening.

You can test yourself among a myriad of skill and fitness, physical and cerebral movements, toward a better, fitter, stronger, more intelligent you.

I will never forget my first obstacle based event. I was 15, Sophmore year of high school. I was part of a youth leadership/betterment group and we took our chances against an outward bound course on an island off of Boston, Massachusetts.

I remember helping everyone, being a bridge for others or a cargo net-of-self to help my peers over walls and cross traverses. I remember feeling powerful within. I remember the moment of feeling Alpha. I remember the pride. I remember sitting on the steps of our city stoop after school that day and not being able to contain myself about it to my mother. Rambling and rambling as cars drove past, myself shirtless, scratches and scars, the sun still radiating heat off the pavement city street.

That feeling fortunately came back to me in 2009 at a little unknown event aiding my friend Mike in the Peak Races summer Death Race in Pittsfield, Vermont. There I met Andy and Joe. There I rediscovered something I loved to belong to.

Since that day in Vermont there has been no looking back.

I’ve entered dozens of events, ranked high in the Reebok Spartan Elite Series, been having fun with other courses like Metro Dash and REI Muddy Buddy. My girlfriend Alicia and I even snagged a first place finish in Atlanta/Conyers, Georgia as partners in crime, “Team Thunder-buddies For Life” at a Muddy Buddy.

All in all having good fun with family, friends, clients and anyone else I can share the experience with and help along the finish line. And sometimes, I’ve been helped by these same folk.

That is the greatest thing about these events. They bring people together. Unlike running, or a triathlon there is a real sense of family and help with one another. Everyone is embracing the suck together, therefore, everyone helps one another move through the suck.

And there may not be one true way to train for these events, as they are ever changing, but there is absolutely a way to strengthen yourself to accept and conquer the challenges these events pose.

Fortunately, I’ve been through and experienced the suck, some of the worst (Winter, Summer, Mexico, Team) Death Races, ultra marathons, marathons, and although I may not have finished all of my goals, I DNF’d far beyond what most would endure, and I attribute that to my training style and methods within the walls of 32 Riverside Drive, Pembroke, Massachusetts. Of course some of our training also takes place on hills and mountains, trails and streets, beaches and playgrounds, but the majority takes place at 32 Riverside.

If you’ve been playing with these events, and are ready to take it to the next level, improve your time, improve your ability to handle the pain, improve your ability to navigate the course like you belong on it, then I would love to help you bridge to the other side,

Interested athletes/racers/trainees need only send an email to rob@rbfit.com

From there we can work together to get your body in the best shape possible to crush these events, head on, and find a little more about yourself, than you already know…

I know I continually find the better version of myself out there in the earth, wind and mist.

Please advise, nothing in life “worth attaining” is simple. It takes work. Hard work, And I dig the brilliant minutes of it.

 

 

Fitter, Faster, Necessity

How would YOU become fitter quickly/er?

By condensing your workouts with intensity and increasing volume.

This is a method I’ve used for years to get ahead and rank as an athlete in multiple sports despite never training sport-specific for said sports.

It’s the same method we used with Adam at our studio to catapult him within months to one of the top SPARTAN racers in the world.
Of course, the effort put forth is up to you!

You can either produce a greater volume within the same time frame by using the same weight as your last workout, though increasing the reps, the sets and attempting to finish within the same time limit: think Belley Bursts or popularized Crossfit WODs.

Or you can increase the weight, keep the reps constant and add sets, with a slight allowance for increased time.

 

Either way, added volume each session is an easy approach to increasing your fitness level.
KEYPOINT: Always execute proper form and allow for deload/unload sessions every few weeks. This will keep you from burning out and help your results continue.

How To Lose 17 Pounds In 4 Days Marshfield Personal Trainer

What happens when you place a self-proclaimed fat kid into a season filled with over-zealous pastries, sauce-drenched meats, every fucking form of cookie, whoopee pie and ginger or pumpkin whatever in existence to his attention. Plus a trip to Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Connecticut, New York and Texas. Plus a map. And a car.

 

17 Pounds of weight gain is what happens! BOOM!

 

Even a fitness professional can put on body fat, despite what Facebook motivational posters and public perception believes.

 

And no, it’s not any easier to resist the temptations being a fitness professional and athlete.

 

God I wish the titles came along with circuit breaker switch to the hypothalamus.

#neednewbrain

 

Well, at the wise and self-leading decision of my lovely lady Alicia, I decided to join her, and be supportive of her desire to jump back on the Elimination Diet to clean ourselves up and rise against our newly sneaky stitch restrictive wardrobes.

#howdidthishappen

 

The following pictures will show you everything I have eaten and present you with a guide free of fat burners, protein powder, and weight reducing supplements.

 

Food and spices shed this November/December poundage from my body.

 

And if you are training family of the studio, I’ll also be sending a link to a page where eventually you’ll be able to read and review the meals I’ve created for Alicia and I while we have both followed the Elimination Diet to each lose more than 6 and 10% of our bodyweight respectively in just 4-5 days.

 

Alas, my meal plan : January 2nd, 2013 – January 6th, 2013 :

Belley Fitness How I Lost 17 4 Days Meal Plan Marshfield Personal Trainer

 

THREE IMPORTANT NOTES**

  1. I FOLLOWED THE FORMULA: I lost body fat super quick because I know how to stick to a formula and see it through. I didn’t cheat. I was tempted twice really bad within the office upstairs with one of my indulgences but I pushed it away and ate broccoli once and yogurt the other time.
  2. I HAVE 4 MAJOR INJURIES PREVENTING ME FROM WORKING OUT: Four major injuries! I didn’t work out once between the times I weighed myself from 179 to 162. I physically couldn’t. Left Leg MCL, Broken Tailbone Relapse, T10-T11 Disc Herniation, Right Forearm Tendon Sheath/Scar Tissue Mangle.
  3. MY CALORIES WERE LOW FOR ME (avg. 1,272/day): Why were my calories so low? Because my body felt adequately nourished with the micronutrient (vitamins, minerals) and macronutrient (proteins, fats, carbs) content from the food choices I made. Had I been training my needs would have risen. Even with injuries my resting metabolic rate is up, however, my body felt great after a couple of months of indulgences to eat a week’s worth of truly nutritious foods.

 

Remember, stick to the formula!

 

Live the dream and create the life you want!

 

High-fives and sweaty hugs!

  3. Aim to drink 64 ounces through the day. If you can do more awesome, if not, you will live 😉
  4. Add one extra 4 minute workout of “body weight only” exercises. it’ll do wonders for your health
  5. Sign up for one event each season

Adding these 5 benefits to your lifestyle each day will go a long way towards an incredible year of kicking butt and awesomeness!



Live the dream you want, create the future you’ll love
