Have you been feeling less masculine lately.

Sorry for the Ladies in my groups but this one isn’t for you.

But for the guys, if you have been feeling less masculine lately and you have been looking at dropping a few KG of fat on that belly area have you thought they they may be connected.

The simple but often times offensive answer is simply that they are.
It has been proven time and time again that extra levels of fat in the body create a negative feedback loop for the body in regards to your natural testosterone levels.

No what does this mean in English because this is where many science based personal trainers fail.

Fat cells allow for an increase in Aromatase.
This increase in Aromatase within the fat is also known as Esteogen synthase.

Now typically when you have more testosterone in your body, you will naturally have more estrogen.
However this doesn’t apply the other way around and in fact leads to the opposite as your body.

This is because your body pumps estrogen in the body to regulate the testosterone.

If there are high levels of testosterone your body won’t produce as much testosterone as it believes the estrogen has been stabilised.

Quite Simply for guys, being fat will lead you to feeling more feminine and scientifically will lower your testosterone levels.

This is also why if you try to get TRT from the doctor, they will almost always ask you to lose weight first to see if this resolves the issue.

Now this is the hard truth of the matter.
Testosterone makes it easier to gain muscle.
Being high in fat reduces test
Reduced test makes it harder to gain muscle and lose fat.

It’s a vicious cycle and if you feel like this may be you.
Let’s work together and get your life back on track.

Looking to build up the most muscle possible?
I'm sure we have all heard of (especially if you are one of my clients) about post fatigue training.

In essence post fatigue, is exactly what it says in the tin.
Training after already being fatigued.

So what makes this so good?
Simply your body and muscles have already broken down by this point in time, you are weaker and the damage and tears to the muscles can be deeper and finer compared to at the start of training.
And as all of my clients know, This is how muscle growth happens.
This happens as when your body repairs itself, it grows stronger and thicker resulting in bigger and thicker muscles.
(if you had a damaged pipe you would make is stronger in the reparation not just patch it up)

So the question is about controlled or fluid movement, There is an argument for both and with a training partner who can assist through the concentric allowing you just do the eccentric (also known as negatives) the amount of muscle growth is greatly increased with strict and controlled post fatigue training,
However when you are training by yourself this is much harder to do unless you are in a specialist bodybuilding gym typically where there may be a foot leaver to bring the weight back up and take a few KG off.
So a fluid movement such as in this example, Battleropes will hit the Back, Biceps, Core and Delts the most, meaning that if this was done at the end of a Pull workout day, you could fluidly hit all of these at a smaller percentage whilst already fatigued for a deep burn, meaning deep and fine tears for increased muscle growth in a way that is safe, effective and most likely a new exercise to add on for your training.

There are training methods and machines which are great at training specific goals.

We have all seen me post about incline treadmill walking being the gold standard for weight loss as it absolutely destroys calories consumed offering an easy 600 cals per hour for the average body type going up to well over 900 for@my body type.

So the question of today’s post is what is the best fitness machines for the power, fitness and sport.

For that we have two options, one accessible and one not every gym will have so.

Firstly the rower uses full body movements generating power from the legs and hips and finishing with the back, rear delts and biceps.
A great multifunctional exercise which will burn calories, increase cardiovascularfitness and increase power outage.

The gold standard for j@proving that short term burst of power and fitness is the assault bike or more appropriately the AssBike (because it’s where you’re going to be blowing out of)
It uses almost every muscle in your body requiring simultaneously usage of the upper body on equilibrium of push and pull. But utilises the legs in their entirety also.

A single one stop machine for all power, explosive, fitness and fat loss.
An amazing way to get in shape very quickly. But trust me when I snag the ass bike isn’t easy!

Wanting to lose weight, slim waist but still big ass and shoulders. We need to change our mindset to do it!

Lifting weights to lose weight?
Lifting weights is essential whilst losing weight during any body decomposition for 2 reasons.

Firstly, by building more lean muscle mass, your bmr (basal metabolic rate) will increase.
In the simplest explanation is lean mass (active tissue) burned over 600% more calories passively then fat (none active tissue)
So by building more muscle you passively will burn more calories, and this is my favourite way to be create a calorie deficient rather then the typical eat less diet alone.

Secondly it’s to ensure that we don’t lose muscle mass whilst in a deficit as your body will consume its stores of fat and muscle alike during a deficit, this is how weight loss works.
By actively training we prevent this by Happening as we create the tears in the muscle to force respiration’s to be thicker and stronger which whilst doesn’t prevent muscle being consumed, can lead to an equilibrium or even surplus (when new to training) of muscle.

Don’t just be a cardio bunny to lose weight, it’s not as effective long term.
