1 MR Supplement Review

7 Comments

OK Let me start by saying DO NOT Take 1 MR late at night IF you want to sleep! I used 1 scoop last night around 930 and couldn’t sleep a bit last night!

I had a great workout mind you, but never slept much. So be careful taking this late at night if you train at that time.

1 MR from BPI is REALLY REALLY Strong. I can’t stress enough just how surprisingly strong this product really is.

I have used a ton of preworkouts and this one is one of, if not the strongest I have used. So if you are sensitive to stimulants be very careful with this product ok.

You have been warned, now lets move on to the review.

Taste : 1MR doesn’t taste bad at all, mind you it’s not great. Easily drinkable.

Mixing : Doesn’t mix great, but not bad either. I mixed mine with a 1/3 glass of water and chugged it.

Results : Awesome workouts! Tons of energy, focus, good mood. I have never said this about a product ever but i almost found it TOO STRONG. I wouldn’t advise this product before anything with high intensity training or lots of heat. I used it before a MMA Class and it was too much. So PLEASE DON’T USE it like that. For weights it’s fine but avoid anything with high heart rate training.

Side Effects : The crash was pretty big on this product. So be ready for that, but it takes a few hours lol. I took it one night at like 9pm and couldn’t sleep until 5am lol. VERY intense energy, as i have said almost too much so start with like 1/2 a scoop.

Rob’s Rating : 8.5/10 (I actually didn’t give it a 9 because the energy was a bit too much lol go figure)

screen capture 4 Muscle Imbalances Revealed

I am going to tell you how I went from having an AWESOME Squat of 5 plates per side to the point where I couldn’t squat 135lb.

I am not lying.

Here are the 10 steps to doing this

puzzle Muscle Imbalances Revealed

1. Lift Heavy ALL The Time
2. Don’t Stretch
3. Don’t Warmup Properly
4. Don’t Do ANY Mobility Work
5. Don’t Do Soft Tissue Work
6. Don’t Work the smaller muscles, focus on big muscles only
7. Develop Imbalances (and not fix them)
8. Think that you can “Push Through” Pain
9. Ignore warning signs your body is giving you
10. Go home, slam a protein shake and think that is “Post Workout Recovery”

Let me ask you something. How many of the 10 above are YOU? Seriously….

How many? 3? 5? 8?

Gold’s Gym Venice Beach Experience

6 Comments

The Only thing Cooler Than Gold’s Venice is MY T-SHIRT!

Let me start by saying this was surprinsgly one of the coolest experiences of my life!

I was in California a few weeks ago on Business and decided to stay an extra day to check out “The Mecca Of BodyBuilding – Gold’s Gym Venice Beach”.

WOW What an experience! It was far beyond what I expected and more!! I don’t even know where to begin.

Me and my good friend Andy Pratt got up early on a Monday morning to hit “The Mecca”. It was within walking distance from our hotel. So we packed our bags, slammed back some Decimate Pre Workout and headed to Golds Gym.

Not being too familiar with Venice Beach area I wondered if we were in the right area. I am now known for being very good with directions or maps so getting lost was a very good possibility . However as we approached the gym (thank you Iphone and Maps) my heart started to beat a little faster.

In the middle of almost nowhere was “The Mecca Of BodyBuilding – Golds Gym”. Simply amazing! My heart raced, I was 16 once again reading about the old school pros, Arnold, Franco, Draper, Zane, are just a few names to go through my brain at a mile a minute! Just walking up was a rush of excitement (and we haven’t even entered the Gym yet!)

Interview with Fat Loss Expert Craig Ballantyne

1 Comment

Craig first off thanks for taking the time for this interview. I know your very busy. Maybe you can share some quick back ground for readers than may not be familiar with you and your area of knowledge.

Like most folks in the fitness industry, I played a lot of sports when I was younger. That led to weight training. From there, I realized I wanted to be a strength coach in professional sports.

I went to school for Kinesiology, which then led to a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology. Along the way I studied what made a good NHL Strength Coach (they had Master’s Degrees and were Certified Strength And Conditioning Specialists – CSCS).

I also started training athletes, along with men and women for fat loss.

Then I started working with Men’s Health in 2000. And I invented Turbulence Training in 1999, and finally put it online in 2001. The rest is history.

You have traveled all over the world and coached thousands of people in how to build more muscle and lose fat etc. What are the common themes you see of why people fail and how people succeed. I’m a big believer of Anthony Robbins quote that “Success leaves clues” Anything you would like to add to that?
