pantherafitness review

Panthrafitness is an up and coming fitness clothing line, like many other clothing companies that are starting to appear around the web, I think I like this one the most mainly because they don't do the same thing that has been done over and over again. the shirt's are nice and slim fit so if your muscular your muscles will buldge from the tight fit. but it's not to tight where it's nearly suffocating. This is a company based in the UK and their prices are reasonable. you can also use the BD10 code to save 10% on all of your purchases there.

motivation

Start with a Positive Mind

People often seek motivation which there's nothing wrong with it, but remember your wasting time looking at nice pictures with nice quotes. you could be doing your workout now! Everything you need is in your head just go and do it. What's stopping you? YOURSELF! It's your choice to get off the computer and hit the gym, It's your choice to sit on your laptop and eat bad food. You can't blame it on anyone else but yourself. Your health is all on you and no one else! This is why I like fitness you determine what you want to workout, Everyone else that doesn't have their ideal body is just cheating themselves or over doing things. People think they can go to the gym everyday and work the same muscles. You can't! Your not superman you need sleep and you need rest! You need nutrients to keep the body going and healthy otherwise your body will start to dwindle and fatigue. If you don't like working out alone find a friend or if you don't have any just make up a evil twin that constantly tells you that you can't do it. What better way to be motivated than to have someone say your not capable to do it. This is probably the biggest driving force for me. I love telling myself I can't do something then prove myself wrong. It's reverse psychology! Some people quit when they hear negative comments and those are the people that fail in this world! People constantly criticize, judge and hate. That's life feed off that negative energy instead of feeling sorry for yourself. Lots of people feel sorry for themselves and that's why they will never be better than average. That's why they will never be anything more than ordinary. Those are the ones that make excuses, those are the ones that try to tear others down that achieve what they want to be. Now go and get what your worth!

Cardio for a beast

Cardio is a key part to my workouts lately, I typically run a fast paced 2.5 mile run at about 90-80 percent of a sprint. This helps build endurance and will really help lean out the body. I rather do miles over sprints because sprints are harder on the joints and cause more issues with ligaments and muscles. I typically do a 2-4 mile bike ride as well during the day depending on how I feel. I do the bike ride as fast as I can ride, I don't do it to relax or cruise it's fast paced and only takes about 15 minutes to do, so time shouldn't be an issue when biking. The harder you ride the harder you work your leg muscles, it really helps loosen up your legs. I do my cardio before My workouts because it helps you battle fatigue. Doing this will really help with your endurance.

Health philosophy by Brendan Dean

It is our duty as a species to READ the ingredients in our food. Take more than a glance at the food before you buy it. Actually read the ingredients on the back, when you begin to see food additives with names that you haven't heard of like "enzymes, or mono carbonate, MSG, GMO etc. just to name a few. If you don't know what it is, chances are it's not good for you. I always read the back of foods before I eat them. You ever pick up a pack of oreos or any sweet treat and feel that you can't stop eating them? The reason for this is because the high amounts of high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup is fake sugar which destroys the liver over time, it makes your body work harder to get rid of it and without a decent diet you will gain weight. When people eat shit food and wonder why they don't get good results it's because of the additives in the foods their eating. You can't eat Twinkies regularly and expect abs. Would you expect a girl to want to be with you if you constantly ignored her? NO, same with your body you cannot deny your body proper nutrients. Bad foods don't have anything good in them for your health. The human body was meant to eat for health and to work properly not for taste. You didn't see cavemen eating oreo's, twinkies, and cake on the regular. That's why they were cut up and ripped. This doesn't mean you can't enjoy yourself every now and then. Just be weary of the choices your making, the choices you make will dig your grave and will end with horrible health problems down the road.

5 easy ways to promote fat burning

1. Cut back on junk food and salty food. READ what you are eating! Labels are there for a reason do not assume that the food is okay to eat check for yourself! Some foods have added sodium etc.

2. Cut back on sodium, to cut back on sodium avoid lunch meat which is injected with sodium and other preservatives to keep it fresh.

3. Eat more meals in smaller quantity. If you eat 6 or more meals this will speed up your metabolism and keep it refurbished. Stuffing your self in 3 meals makes your body work harder with burning the fat, carbs, and calories.

4. Cut back on breads and grains. If your not running a marathon there's no reason to eat a ton of grains. Grains are stacked with carbs and carbs are used as an energy source. If your not doing anything of high intensity then chill out on the carb intake.

5. Drink caffeine and water! caffeine is a natural fat burner and even helps cognitive functions, so be sure to get your cup of java in the morning or when you need a boost! Water is good to keep your system going and alert, keeping your body hydrated will make the fat burning process easier!

Andrew Christian Underwear review

Andrew christian makes some of the nicest and most fashionable underwear I know. They have a great selection of color, and are more comfortable than your lazy boy at home. The waste band on the underwear is nice and unique to each of their products. I personally enjoy wearing Andrew christian over other clothing companies because they are highly affordable and  make you look sharp! I wear them in all of my photo shoots, and think you should get a pair so you can impress your friends and or man/lady.

8 by 8 challenge

The goal here is to do 8 sets of 8 heavy weight. Yes your arms will be screaming. Yes, it's going to hurt but the variation and stress this method put's on the muscles is amazing. 3-4 sets doesn't really do much unless you want to look average. Increase your sets and keep mixing it up. Heavy builds bigger muscle, more sets and heavy burns fat and builds muscle. Try and check your results. cheers.

My new years

Completed a photo shoot down In Tampa Bay Florida over the new years weekend. It was a ton of fun and I definitely had a blast. The weather was decent 60 degrees and 70 the next. The weather where I'm from was snowing and in the 20s so I could not argue with that at all. We got some great work done and some very cool footage! I can't wait to post and show you guys. It was a fantastic time. Hope everyone is focusing on their new years goals for 2013. Stay focused and keep your eye on the prize!

workout tunes

More workout music to get you pumped and jacked before and during your workout! Breaking Benjamin is one of my favorites to listen to during my workouts.

where monsters are made!

''Nobody Is Perfect''...that's the excuse LOSERS hide behind when they can't achieve something or give up' cause they rather settle for less in life...
Truth Is everyone goes through difficult periods in life but despite all the negativity, they have the capacity to strive towards personal perfection...
So stop complaining and start working!

If you chase the world it runs from you.
If you run from the world it chases you.

When a person searches pleasure in worldly things he runs after one thing. And then he thinks there might be more pleasure in another thing, and runs after that. At the same time, his desire for pleasure also increases. In this way, he becomes like a ping pong ball. But when he stops running after pleasure, he develops contentment.
