Russell Solomon :High Repetition Weight Work Outs

There are many different ways to approach weight training. But whichever way you choose, weight lifting is a vital component to a exercise routine. Whether you want to prepare for a sport, prepare to look fantastic, or just feel great and strong for life itself- it is huge. If you need educated help in choosing your method, Russell Solomon is the trainer of choice. His experience in guiding people to achieve their goals is unparalleled.

One method to achieve the goal of a long, lean look is high repetition weight work outs. Awesome muscle definition can be achieved this way, with seemingly less stress. Typically a lower weight is used than say what a bodybuilder would typically use. You see this kind of technique at work with ballerinas, who use repetition and their own body weight to achieve the highest level of strength and muscle tone.


High repetition weights can be done to muscle failure, but without the stressful intensity of a higher weight work out. To increase the amount of repetitions, you can decrease the weight load a few times as you are lifting in order to keep going when your muscles begin to fatigue. This would be ideally of course without taking but a moment's break. In addition, it can be used as a cardiovascular exercise when fitness exercises are done consecutively. Combining weight lifting with your cardio is a nice time savings for you.


This type of fitness routine can also be used specifically on selective muscles that you wish to craft a more lean look to. To really target your fitness goals, a guide such as Russell Solomon can assist you to your most focused and effective routine. Even an experienced athlete can have knowledge gaps about what can be accomplished with a varied, targeted routine.


It is beneficial to vary your routine from time to time. Shocking the muscle groups by switching the ways in which you work them help you to move beyond plateaus. You can work the same muscle in a slightly different way; the new twist will be a challenge for your muscle and help it to become stronger.


Challenge and intensity are key components to any strength routine. Don't worry if you are challenged easily at first. Even the most ardent athlete had to start somewhere. Once your body and mind meet the challenge of whatever level work out it finds challenging, it can reach higher. You will be surprised at what you can accomplish with time. A high repetition weight lifting regime is a potent and even relaxing way to achieve the path you are looking for.

Russell Solomon: Alcohol and Caffeine are POISON

Let me start out by saying that I have many detractors regarding this topic.
Coffee and wine drinkers hate this argument and fight tooth and nail to protect
their addictions. Here's how I feel about both.

First off, caffeine and alcohol are both considered (by many experts) slow
poisons that over time can cause many health issues down the line. Both
form an acidic environment in the body which can lead to heart disease,
inflammation, arthritis, diabetes and major digestive issues. Some early
studies are showing a possible link to various cancers as well.

Both wreak havoc on your blood sugar and how it's
regulated. Caffeine taxes the adrenal glands which is responsible for
regulating your hormones. It puts the body into a fight or flight
mode (all the time) which can cause longterm ill-health effects and
difficulty with weight loss. It also stimulates our central nervous system which can
affect perception, moods and behavior. Although it does increase the
"feel-good" neurotransmitter dopamine when we drink it, over time
you need more and more caffeine for the desired effect.

Dropping these two "toxins" will help you find your natural energy without a
dependence on anything outside of food to get energy or relax. Removing both
will help you to have deeper and more restful sleep.

When we drink alcohol we rarely go into REM sleep, which means our
bodies don't get the healing recovery rest that we need. Over time, it also
depletes serotonin in our bodies, which can then cause depression, mood
swings and other issues related to low serotonin. Drinking also affects our
neurotransmitters in our brain, thinking patterns, memory and hormone
regulation. Not to mention what it does to the liver...I think you probably
know that already!

Russell Solomon - 90 Day Body Transformation by Russell Solomon

90 days, 25% of a year, 12 weeks, however you choose to look at it, this is the amount of contest time you have to make your best body transformation.
It's not long, so how are you going to do it?
HOW are you going to transform yourself in such a short space of time and leave people speechless and inspired by your results?
Seek out experts, like Russell Solomon, who know what they're talking about; track down those who've already transformed themselves and will guide, support and encourage you along the way. Then listen to, and take action on, what they all have to say when it comes to making the best body transformation you can in 90 days…

YOU HAVE TO WANT IT!
I'm talking about REALLY wanting it, not just thinking you'll give it a shot and see how it works out.
If you're going to enter a contest, of any sort, then enter it to WIN! Yes, prizes that pack you off to stunning tropical beaches are fabulous but I'm talking about winning the battle with yourself.
You will be your biggest opponent in a contest clash, not all the others who enter. Don't even start to compare yourself against them, it's pointless and will drive you crazy; this is about YOU and whether you're prepared to fight for the body you want, and be willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it.
It's not going to be handed to you on a plate of mince pies and Christmas cake - to make the best transformation possible requires hard work, commitment, strength of character and an unwavering desire to achieve your goal.

HAVE FOCUS, DETERMINATION AND BELIEF
If you don't believe in yourself then you can't expect anyone else to and, trust me, when you tell people you're going to take part in a 90-day transformation contest, especially one over Christmas time, most of them will NOT believe in you and may even not want you to do it.
You see, if you DO take part…then where does it leave them? Getting fatter alone whilst you just keep looking better and better!
Ignore the comments, the disbelieving and disapproving looks. Focus on what YOU want; be determined to succeed in the face of negativity from others and have complete belief in yourself. Surround yourself with those who've walked the transformation road before and fight for the body you want to live in.
Do NOT let the negative and sceptical voices steal your dreams and dictate your life for you; they must dictate to themselves only.

DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE
Pulling off the best body transformation you can doesn't happen by accident. There are steps to follow and you MUST do what needs to be done.
  • Make the decision to take part, and enter to win!
  • Set your goals -- without them you won't transform anything
  • Work out what's needed to ensure you achieve those goals
  • An attitude plan
  • An eating plan
  • A training plan
  • Execute those plans with a ruthless commitment. Every. Single. Day.
Believe me, there will be times when you don't want to train; there will be occasions when you don't want to turn down another glass of festive cheer, or the umpteenth mince pie.
No one's saying you can't have one, you just can't have one hundred and that's where your contest battle will be won or lost; in the doing of what needs to be done whether you feel like it or not.
Just how badly did you say you wanted it again? In that case, switch your brain off and get the job DONE!

MAKE EVERYTHING COUNT
During the course of a 90-day transformation contest, let's say you're going to eat six times a day and train six times a week -- three resistance sessions, three cardio and one day off.
That's it.Factor in free meals, to strike a balance, but don't think for one minute you've got carte blanche to cram as much of everything sugary, sweet and fatty, into those 'freebies' as you can; every meal counts towards your success.
Make sure you walk away from every training session knowing you had nothing left to give. There's no point in coming back from the gym, or after training at home, knowing you could have done better!
Finally, and this is rather important…

READ THE RULES!
So you've made one of the best 90-day body transformations the world has ever seen; you've won the battle with yourself and you're looking and feeling awesome!
You're also looking forward to clinching the top prize and jetting off to a sun-drenched beach and showing off your new physique creation. Except, you're not going anywhere…you didn't read the rules properly and your entry is void.
Please don't do allow this to happen to you!
Follow all the Dos and Don'ts; leave nothing to chance, or the last minute.
The rules will be very clear; you will be given plenty of time to read them, enough opportunity to ask for clarification and be given an answer.
The site servers get busy, you might have a power failure or computer crash at the eleventh hour; however, the deadline clock won't stop ticking just because you can't upload your entry.
Give yourself the best chance of success in every single element -- pay as much attention to the admin' side of things as you do the physical and nutritional.
So now you know how to make the best body transformation in 90 days!
The question is, are you up to the challenge?
This is the moment of truth. Are you prepared to go head-to-head with yourself for 90 days and dare to WIN?

Rusell Solomon: Tom Venuto Burn The Fat Inner Circle is Back!

Tom Venuto states:

I have NEVER seen so much excitement in the Burn The Fat
community in the 8.5 years since the Burn The Fat program
was first released as an ebook at http://www.BurnTheFat.com

It's about the event has the Burn The Fat world BUZZING:

It's Official: The Burn the Fat Holiday Challenge, our
49-Day body transformation contest is an annual event and
the 2nd annual contest is about to kick off...

The 2010 Holiday challenge opens for registration at the
Burn The Fat Inner Circle on Thursday, November 18th.

Yesterday,  I  made the first announcement to the public
newsletter lists about the Burn The Fat Holiday Challenge
being repeated for a 2nd year...

You can read the "2010 Holiday challenge" post and please add your
comments or vote of intended participation here:

http://www.burnthefatblog.com/archives/2010/11/holiday_fitness_challenge.php

In that post, all I did was to ask a simple question:  Are you concerned
about dealing with holiday food and drink temptations that might lead
you to become one of the "holiday fat gain" statistics?  If so....

DO YOU ACCEPT MY HOLIDAY FITNESS CHALLENGE?

hundreds upon hundreds of people already raised their hands and
said YES, I accept the challenge!

Many people are back AGAIN for their 2nd or even their 3rd challenge...

It became more apparent to me than ever before, something that
I have already believed for years, that what people need more than
"another diet program" is MOTIVATION....  INSPIRATION... SUPPORT...
and a  REASON WHY to get up and transform your body!

Maybe, if you too say "YES I accept your challenge, Tom,"
this could be the event that inspires and motivates a massive change
 in YOUR body and you will get yourself in the best shape of the
year, or even the best shape of your Life.

And most remarkably, you will do it DURING the holidays and you
will NOT be one of the procrastinators who say, "I'll start after
New Year's day."

THE BURN THE FAT INNER CIRCLE http://www.BurnTheFatInnerCircle.com

is "CONTEST CENTRAL" and we've just opened up another  new forum
where ALL contestants, members and non-members (contestants only)
alike, will converge to post their before/after results, post their journals
and all support each other towards an incredible "49-DAY-BURN!"

Challenge forum here:
http://www.burnthefatinnercircle.com/members/cfmbb/threads.cfm?forumid=2229AA7C-1C23-CDDA-75038E44AE4E1367

The forum is quiet now, the calm before the storm, as everyone is
waiting with anticipation to hear the official contest rules and regulations
and see the Green light go on for open registration (starts Nov 18th).

The ONE contest detail that I have already released (and BFFMer's are
really happy about this) is that you are AUTOMATICALLY eligible to

BURN THE FAT INNER CIRCLE MEMBER UPDATES
(MEMBERS-ONLY AREA)
---------------------------------------------------------------

Hi there,

Kyle Battis here, Inner Circle manager, taking over with some
of the most recent updates in the members only area...

Of course, the big news this week is the 2010 holiday contest!

* NEW CONTEST CHALLENGE FORUM
Tom already mentioned - that forum is going to light up
in just a matter of days when Tom opens contest registration
and then flips the GO switch!
http://www.burnthefatinnercircle.com/members/cfmbb/threads.cfm?forumid=2229AA7C-1C23-CDDA-75038E44AE4E1367

* TEAMS START GETTING READY NOW!
From both of our previous Burn the Fat Challenges, we know that
getting a committed team together is very challenging because most
people drop out of body transformation contests, no matter how
motivating they are and no matter how big the prizes and rewards.
With teams, if even one person drops out, the whole team is out.
So - find your 100% committed team members NOW, so you are ready
when the challenge kicks off next week. We've provided a special
forum just for that purpose:
http://www.burnthefatinnercircle.com/members/cfmbb/messages.cfm?threadid=38F69A78-1C23-CDDA-759194D82D31488F

Russell Solomon:The Gymless Ripped Abs Workout

Russell Solomon: The Gymless Ripped Abs Workout: A Body-Weight Ab Workout to Shred your Abs From the Comfort of your Living Room

How many times many of you have skipped working out your abs because you meant to do them at the end of your weight training session but either all of the ab benches and machines were occupied or you were just too tired to do any justice to them.
If you have been in this situation many times, then I have the solution for you.  A body-weight ab workout that you can perform in the comfort of your living room, preferably as soon as you wake up for best results or once you get home from work.  It will hit all of your abdominal muscles in a quick and efficient manner, and best of all, you can perform it anytime, anywhere.   Add to it the proper fat loss diet, perhaps coupled with a supplement that supports fat loss,  and a well defined six pack will be well within your reach!
Exercise #1: Crunches
Lie flat with your back on the floor and your legs in front of you bent at the knees and place your hands crossed in front of your chest.  Start by raising your shoulders and torso as far as possible from the ground in a curling movement without raising your back from the floor as you exhale. Retaining tension on the abs, bring your torso to the starting position as you inhale. Maintain full control throughout the movement and avoid the temptation to rock back and forth.  Tip: You can perform this movement with a rolled up towel under your spine curvature in order to achieve full stretch of the abdominal wall and thus get full range of motion.
Exercise #2: Bicycle Crunches
Lie flat on the floor with your lower back pressed to the ground. For this exercise, you will need to put your hands beside your head. Be careful however to not strain with the neck as you perform it. Now lift your shoulders into the crunch position and bring your knees up to where they are perpendicular to the floor, with your lower legs parallel to the floor. This will be your starting position.  Now simultaneously, slowly go through a cycle pedal motion kicking forward with the right leg and bringing in the knee of the left leg. Bring your right elbow close to your left knee by crunching to the side, as you breathe out.
Then go back to the initial position as you breathe in, and start to crunch to the opposite side as you cycle your legs and bring closer your left elbow to your right knee and exhale.
Continue alternating in this manner until all of the recommended repetitions for each side have been completed.   Tip: Avoid fast and sloppy motions; instead concentrate on slow and perfect execution.
Exercise #3: Lying Leg Raises
Lie flat with your back on the floor and your legs extended straight in front of you. Place your hands at your sides by the floor for support. Flexing your lower abdominals, raise your legs and exhale until they are perpendicular to the floor. Retaining tension on the abs, lower your legs to the beginning position stopping just an inch off the floor as you inhale. Tip: Avoid the temptation to let your legs drop on the negative portion of the movement.
Exercise #4: Modified V-Ups
Sit on the floor (or on the edge of a chair) with your legs extended in front of you and your hands holding on to the sides for support. Simultaneously bring your legs up as far as possible while at the same time bringing your torso towards them as you inhale. Exhale as you return to the start position and repeat the movement until you have completed your set. Tip: Avoid the temptation to let your legs drop on the negative portion of the movement and maintain full control of the motion.
Exercise #5: Knee-Ins
Sit on the floor (or on the edge of a chair) with your legs extended in front of you and your hands holding on to the sides for support.   Keeping your knees together, pull your knees in towards your chest as you exhale until you can go no further. Keeping the tension on your lower ab muscles, return to the start position as you inhale and repeat the movement until you have completed your set.  Tip: Avoid fast motions; maintain full control of the movement.
Gymless ‘Ripped Abs’ Workout
GOAL: BOOST METABOLISM AND SHAPE ABDOMINAL MUSCLES. 
FOCUS: BODY-WEIGHT BASED ABDOMINAL EXERCISE CIRCUIT.
