Wow, havent been in this blog for over a year and half, oh how life has changed. Right now I am currently in PTA school and my experience as a personal trainer did not go as planned. 2011 has not been very kind to me, been going thru a mid-mid life crisis, trying to find what I want to do with my life. Kinda weird how life turned out like this. Life was looking on the up after I graduated college in 2009 from Drexel University. Unfortunately I did not use my college degree to further my career. It really sucks to look back on it and realize all the hard work and all that was left was a piece of paper with my name on it. Still cannot believe that I am back at school and trying to still find my way thru life. Yeah that basically sums up my horrible 2011. Looking forward to 2012 and hope that the setbacks that I am been experiencing in 2011 will take a change for the better. The only thing that I really can hold my head to is that I am still training everyday and trying my best to find ways to improve myself both mentally and physically, I just wish I was at a better point in my career. We will see.

DL 215 Kettlebell Triceps Extensions (www.youtube.com/dl215)

Sup folks,

Back again this time back with another video/blog entry and in this video I have some Lying Triceps Extensions. I usually perform these standing up but in this video, I decided to change it up and perform it lying supine. Also, I am using a kettle-bell in this video, but you can also use a trying dumbbell or E-Z bar. Well, here is a brief entry on why I love these exercises:

LYING TRICEPS EXTENSION

Lying on a bench with your arms extended overhead in a narrow (six-inch) grip, start the triceps extension by lowering the bar to your forehead or beyond. The upper arms are to remain elbow-tight and upright to emphasize the load on the triceps and guarantee maximum development. The triceps extension is a major mass and power builder. High reps pyramided with low reps work well to saturate the three-headed muscle.
The overhead triceps extension performed similarly from a seated upright position (wisely using a back-support utility bench) with the elbows straight overhead is another aggressive triceps builder. The employment of the bent bar is a popular alternate. Remember, tendinitis prowls. Warm up, don’t overload excessively, rest properly.

Well, once again thanks for visiting my blog, and I hope you was able to find this information informative and peep out the TUBE at:

Resistance Band DL 215 Squat/Row (www.youtube.com/dl215)

Sup folks,

Back again this time with another resistance band video/post. In this post I am performing a resistance band squat row combination to target the whole body. Add this combination when you want to target multiple muscles at once. Not only is it very effective, you will be able to work out in half of the time. Well here is a brief description on how to properly perform a resistance band row:

Resistance Band Rows

Rows are a very important resistance band exercise.

If preformed properly they strengthen the muscles in your upper middle back which not only help you maintain proper posture, but also help you build your full body properly.


Start: Attach the heavy resistance band to a doorknob or secure object. Walk away from the door until you feel the band become tight.

Assume an athletic stance, keeping your shoulders in neutral position, do not let them protract or fall forward.

Begin the motion: Keeping your shoulders, back in and wrists neutral alignment pull your hands towards your ribcage leading with your elbows.

Retract (squeeze together) your shoulder blades without shrugging your shoulders for a split second, then slowly return your hands to the original position without letting your shoulders protract and repeat the motion.


Modifications: Walk back further away from the attachment of the cable for more resistance. If you would like to increase stabilization requirements for the exercise you can stand on an unstable surface such as a BOSU ball, Airex pad or balance disc.

Well, folks thanks for tuning in into the blog and if you are interested peep out the TUBE at:
