DO YOU NEED TO TAKE EXERCISES TO COMPLETE FAILURE?
The Henneman Size Principle Dr. Henneman’s discovery of the “size principle” in 1957 explains the order in which motor units are recruited. This principle is widely discussed in exercise science classrooms. Among strength and conditioning experts, focus is given to hypertrophy, force production, and the rate of force production. However, regardless of the desired adaptation, […]
WHAT SUPPLEMENTS DO YOU NEED?
To be at your best, taking supplements is crucial. Nowadays, being average won’t cut it. However, it’s important to remember that the supplement market is like any other industry – there are high-quality supplements and there are low-quality ones. Investing in high-quality supplements will yield the best results. Here’s what the Metabolomics test is (straight […]

There are basically two schools of thought when it comes to exercise/training for fat loss. The first school of thought is that a good diet […]

THE CORE MUSCULATURE: FORCE TRANSDUCER, NOT FORCE PRODUCER
(Pictured here is one of my clients that’s an adamant golfer training a rotational core exercise to transfer force through the core into the upper body as a driver.)
