  • How to Fix Glutes That Don’t Work [ASK ERIC]

    How to Fix Glutes That Don’t Work [ASK ERIC]

    The glutes are a muscle group that a lot of people have trouble firing.

    Reason why is because a lot of people sit on their asses for most of the day (me included).

    Well, if your glutes aren’t working, other muscles have to compensate, which often include your quads, hamstrings and lumbar erectors, leaving you with a tight lower back and hams and weak and small butt.

    Not a pretty site.

    Fortunately, the exercises in today’s video will help:

  • “Power Pairs” – Build Power + Conditioning [A+A]

    “Power Pairs” – Build Power + Conditioning [A+A]

    In this workout, we go through the Power Pairs workout that is a part of the CAGE Cardio Bodyweight Fight deck.

    This workout will train your Alactic and Aerobic energy systems.

    One of the side benefits of A+A workouts is that they don’t overtax your muscular or nervous systems, allowing you more energy for your other workouts, whether it’s your strength workouts or MMA or martial arts training sessions.

    Maintaining proper form is especially important when you’re fatigued as that’s when your nervous system is most receptive to engraining movement patterns.

  • YOU have the answer

    YOU have the answer

    man-pushing-up-a-rock

    I was having a little coaching conversation with Sean, a pD member who described his goals and also the obstacles he thought were in his way.

    These are the two first things I want to learn about any client I work with, because what I’ve found is that often, once this info is revealed, I don’t have to provide any new info to help people make a big jump towards their goals.

    And this is a huge mistake people often make when trying to achieve a goal. We’ll get to this in a sec.

    Now, I’d go as far as to say that YOU probably have everything you need to take a big step towards achieving your goals.

    The problem that people usually bump into happens anywhere from 50-80% on the way there.

    It’s at this point they don’t have the strategies or support to push through to the end and end up at ground zero.

    So one of Sean’s goals was to get his body fat to 12%.

    I asked, “What’s the #1 thing that you think negatively impacts your fitness/physique the most?”

    “Evening snacking including but not limited to pizza, ice cream, and chocolate. The quantity is where I tend to foul things up I know a small amount of any one of these on an infrequent occasion is not going to screw up my entire diet.”

    Sound familiar?

    I’ve definitely heard this before.

    So we’re going to work on a blueprint and strategies to ensure Sean’s success, because I know when he gets to 12% body fat, since he’s already very strong, he’s going to look imposing and won’t go back to the old ways since the new Sean will be so badass.

    I just wanted to share this story with you because I believe that for most goals, YOU have the answer to get at least 50% of the way there.

    Now, back to that mistake I mentioned earlier?

    The mistake that most people make is they’ll try to achieve something, fail, then instead of learning and tweaking, they’ll look for a totally new approach instead of assessing what went wrong and fixing it.

    Do this and there won’t be any growth on top of their previous actions and again, they’ll get to 50-80% of the way and get stuck again.

    Plus, it’ll take a ton more energy to figure out this new plan and how to implement it.

    So think of your goals, then answer these 2 questions:

    1) What is the #1 thing you need to do to achieve it?

    2) What is the #1 obstacle holding you back?

    Get clear on the answers to these 2 questions and focus on the action you get from answering the first and the awareness you need to avoid the second and I bet you can get pretty close to your goals just staying vigilant.

    And if the problem in #2 is that you just lose motivation and fall off track, then perhaps, you need someone in your corner who will ensure you don’t fall victim to your past habits.
