• Hey, have you ever seen this guy? . He loads up the straight bar with 4-5 plates per side, as he gets ready to train his traps with Barbell Shrugs. . The weight is TOO heavy for his grip, so he spends minutes wrapping his wrist straps around the bar. . Once he lifts the weight and begins the set, very little, if any shrugging is taking place. . More than anything, it looks as though he is training some full body pulsating exercise. . Swinging his hips and torso, and occassionally rounding his scapula, he performs a couple sets of what he thought was a great mass building exercise for his traps. . But the muscles he thought he was training never grow, and he develops shoulder and lower back pain due to his horrible exercise selection and execution. . He would have been much better off learning what the traps actually do, and how to successfully put them in the greatest advantaged position to do the work and stimulate growth. . The Chest Supported Shrug, is by far my favorite way to isolate and train the traps. . Forcing you to lower the weight, and train the traps in a stabilized and secure environment, is the single best way to force your traps to grow. . Give it a try next back day and let me know what you think. .

  • Yes, your greatest opportunity to transform your physique is centered around what takes place in the gym during training. . But how well you perform and execute in the gym starts long before you actually step foot in the gym. . Are you paying attention to your sleep and making sure you're getting 6-7 hours a night minimum? . Is your nutrition on point? . Are you sufficiently hydrated? . Have you mapped out your workout for the day and are you going in with a plan? . Before training, are you priming your body and activating your muscles? . Once you can improve your training, your intensity, and output, the margin for error with everything else becomes greater. . But it all starts with putting yourself in the greatest position to maximize performance. . . . . #BodyReBuilding #FrankRich #MasstheticMuscle #MuscleMindset #TheCarnivoreDiet #Yes2Meat #TheMeatDiet #Meatatarian #Transformation

  • I hate to burst your bubble... . But you're not going to reach your potential with leg development relying solely on squats, leg presses, and lunges. . None of these exercises does what the Leg Extension does, which is get the quads fully contracted and shortened, while everything else is stabilized in a secure environment. . Its because of this, that I program leg extensions in almost every single one of my leg workouts. . Here's a few cues to help you get the most out of your leg extensions: . 1. Sit up straight, or lean slightly forward. The quads attach at the hips, so by leaning back, you don't allow the quads to fully shorten, which is why we do this exercise. . 2. Hips, knees, ankles, and toes need to be in a straight line. The knee is a single hinge joint, moving in a straight line, so line everything up to avoid undue stress and torque on the joints. . 3. Initiate the movement by flexing your hamstrings and pulling yourself hard into the seat pad. . 4. When you reach the top of the extension, try and touch your shoulders with the tips of your toes, this small intent will force you to further squeeze and contract those quads. . Add these little tips into your next leg workout and I guarantee you will feel your quads like never before. . . . Was this helpful? .

  • Why EVERYONE Needs To Go Through A 30-Day Transformation . For the longest time I was against 30 day transformations, or 28 day resets, or 14 day cleanses. I just didn't feel that they were successful in actually changing what a person does, & once the challenge, is over you go right back to doing what you were doing before. . But after having so much success on my own personal transformation, as well as see so many of my clients have life changing results right now, my beliefs & opinions on them have changed, and I feel when done intelligently and correctly can help anyone, whether you're already successful & looking to take it to the next level, or you're just starting out & need to jumpstart this process. . Now the approach & methods you use may vary, but I feel there are a few key principles that need to be in place in order to guarantee success in your journey. . 1. You need to re-establish your relationship with food. This is done by some sort of rules you put in place, measurements that you track, or foods that you eliminate (even the IIFYM people do this). . 2. You need to train more than just your body. If you don't already, this needs to be a time where you set aside time to read, study, or learn a new skill. Developing your brain is just as important as physical fitness for long term health. . 3. You need to establish some form of meditation, breathing, or consciousness training. The ability to control your breathe and state will help you control stress, which can be detrimental to your physique. . 4. You need to spend some time outside. Preferably in the morning, but 15-20 minutes of good sun exposure daily provides you with the vitamin d you need, but also has additional recovery & health benefits. . If you can implement these daily habits, as well as stick to whatever program you decide to follow, you will experience not only an incredible physical transformation, but you will also establish life changing success habits to carry with you forever. . If you're looking for a coach to walk with you side by side during your own 30 day transformation, I am looking for a handful of guys ready to get serious results. . Sound like you? . DM me today

  • 🚨 PULLUPS🚨 . I think we could all agree that pullups can be one of the best overall upper body exercises... when done correctly. . It has a great range of motion, integrates multiple muscles into a single movement, and forces you to train by moving your body through space, which has so much carry over to function and performance. . The problem is that the majority of people aim to make the pullup easier, as opposed to more difficult, losing many of the benefits from the exercise. . On top of kipping, using momentum, and swinging, one of the biggest mistakes I see people make with the pullup is working in a shortened, partial range at the top of the movement. . The greatest benefit from the pullup comes at the bottom, when your muscles are fully lengthened and stretched. . From here, you have to work the hardest to make your body move. . I would much rather see you do 5 pullups all the way from the bottom under control, then do 20 partial reps at the top. . You have to be willing to challenge yourself. . If you want to get the most out of your pullup training, slow down, control the eccentric, own the bottom position, and squeeze through your back and lats and you pull yourself to the top! . An advanced intent once you've mastered the movement is to think about pulling your hands apart from each other as you descend. . Want a bigger back? . Start performing your pullups correctly and watch your gains shoot through the roof. . . . . . #BodyReBuilding #FrankRich #MasstheticMuscle #TheCarnivoreDiet #Yes2Meat #TheMeatDiet #Meatatarian #Transformation #Pullups
