“If you are still making perfect Slow Burn inch a second repetitions after 90sec, the weight is too light for you.”

“The weight you select should feel relatively heavy on the first repetition.

“If you complete a repetition, however difficult, you are obligated to try another one, even if the weight won’t budge a millimeters; it’s these last 5-10seconds of focused effort without result that constitute true failure.

“Unless your home is outfitted with good exercise equipment…it’s usually. It the optimal setting for the long run.”

“Heel raises: don’t allow your feet to roll over onto your pinky toes.

“Abdominal crunches: pause when your fingertips touch your knees or when they’re as close as they can get and focus hard on squeezing your abdominal muscles. Tighten them for 3 sec while still breathing.” Don’t hold your breathe.

“Biceps: as you lift, allow your wrists to naturally flex or curl inward slightly as if you were trying to touch your shoulders with your knuckles- This will benefit your forearms.”

Do not exercise with a headache

“Your goal with every exercise is to reach the deepest level of muscle fatigue in perfect form.”

“Keep you face and jaw relaxed. Keep a steady head and neck position, with your chin slightly tucked in as though you were trying to hold an orange under it. Don’t crane your neck backward or twist it from side to side.”

“Keep your hands loose whenever possible; gripping your hands tightly can elevate your blood pressure.”

“Practice builds skill not strength…The specific muscle fibers called upon to swing the heavier bat aren’t the same as the ones used for the lighter bat.”

“Three things determine your athletic ability; genetics, skill, and strength.”

“If you want to get ripped and shredded you’ve got to have the genetics for it.”

“To a great extent, our genetic makeup influences the level of athletic prowess we can achieve because it influences the relative amounts of the various fiber types in our muscles.”

“Making significant gains in muscle strength and restoring losses in bone and muscle mass quickly means taking the target muscle to complete failure in perfect form. You must isolate the muscle or group of muscles in question and work them in such a way that momentum, gravity, and other body parts can’t assist the effort.”

“The most critical factor in the development of most low back pain is loss of muscle mass and strength.”

“Much of the pain and disability that occurs with lower back problems arises when weakness of or injury to the bones or soft tissues causes the basic spinal structure to collapse, resulting in pressure on the nerves.”

“Never grow a wishbone where your backbone ought to be.” Clementine Paddleford

“Peak load (the heaviest weight that can be properly lifted) was more important than the number of repetitions.”

“Combining jogging with a very low calorie diet may cause further weakening and thinning of the bones of the low back and the femoral neck.”

“Studies have failed to show that walking does much to preserve or build bone density.”

“A stretching regimen increases joint flexibility at the price of increased risk of dislocation.”

“Unfortunately most people believe the best way to improve flexibility is to stretch the joint.”

“Stronger muscles moving the joint through its full range of motion while maintaining the integrity of the ligaments reduce optimal, stable flexibility.”
