My VERY Different Approach To Staying Lean All Year Round.
Losing weight is doable.
As is getting leaner.
The struggle is maintaining it.
And in this video I go over my rather different approach.
One that allows me to maintain a sub-10% bodyfat percentage all year round in a SUSTAINABLE way!
You don't need drugs, you don't need supplements, magic pills or powders.
It's a matter of mindset and once you understand the approach, you will see that you can do it!
It's not easy, as nothing worth doing ever is, but it is sustainable!
Moreover, if you follow this path it leads not just to a tighter waist and a passible six pack, but also a true sense of self realization and self discovery.
To see the video you can access the link in my bio or look me up "naturally intense" on YouTube.
Thanks as always for tuning in, know that I believe in you and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense

Dumbo, Brooklyn 2004
This one was taken towards the end of an hours long photoshoot for my DVD and I remember being utterly exhausted!
Photoshoots can be tougher than competing as with a competition you are only onstage for maybe maximum of a half hour, whereas with a shoot it's hours on end of having to be on point.
Thanks for tuning in and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense
My thanks to @miranda_maher and @stephaniecorne for the shot!!!

Don't Train To Maintain, Always Train To Excel!
I am 49 years old.
My last bodybuilding competition was 19 years ago and yet I train with the same intensity and focus towards results as I did in my teens, my 20's and my 30's.
I don't believe in "train to maintain" and I think it's a massive mistake!
In my experience, most people take their foot off the gas way to early in life and as a result never realize their full potential.
In many sports getting older is associated with decline, but take a look at natural bodybuilding and you'll see men and women peaking in their late 40's to 50's.
Natural bodybuilding legends like Carmi Smith, Dwayne Broadway @
https://pulse.ly/crdg43u5ec and Yvette Arthur, @https://pulse.ly/m2iwofkkqz all won World Championship titles in their silver years and my friend and mentor, the late Kenny Hall competed with a ridiculously impressive physique into his late 60's!!!
Ever since I was a kid that's what I have been striving for and it's a central tenet of my personal training practice.
The passage of time is not an adversary you surrender to, it's an ally that can help you get far further in life than you might imagine, but only if you keep pushing!
So don't train to maintain, train to grow, train to improve, train to excel and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense
5th Avenue Gym circa 2009- 5 years out from my last show.
As you can see, trophies and competitions were NEVER the driving force behind why I train the way I train and why I eat the way I eat.
It's always been my passion to see how far I could go as a natural athlete and perhaps even more so, to show what can be accomplished without using drugs.
And 5th Avenue Gym was the perfect place to do it.
I really miss that gym.
It was a place where legends came to train and while it wasn't pretty, it had everything we needed to do the work we needed to do.
And boy did we work!!!
5th Avenue for life as they say!!!
Hope you are still training hard and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense
And thanks @pit_bulls_67 for snapping the shot!!!!

Why Are Pull Ups So Hard For Some But Not For Others?
Pull ups are an exercise people love to hate!
They love to hate it because in my experience, most untrained men or women can't do one pull up and those who train can often struggle to do 6 or 10.
Why?
Because pull ups are hard!
And yet people like myself can easily do as many as 20-25!
So what's the reason for this discrepancy?
Is there some secret that allows me and others to do pullups so easily?
There isn't, and in this video I go over exactly why I can do as many as I can and why it can be so much harder for others.
I also go over my #1 pull up variant that ANYONE can do, even if you can't do one pull up.
And yet it can build strength and muscle size in some cases even more so than regular pull ups!

Maximize Biceps Growth With High Intensity Arm Blaster Hammer Curls!
50lb Dumbbells For 20 reps!
The Arm Blaster is a fantastic piece of equipment for a home gym or any gym!
It doesn't take up much space and allows you to add variety to your biceps training.
It locks your elbows in place, thus increasing training intensity, and by doing a hammer curl, you can use more weight (thus increasing intensity even more) and target your brachialis muscles which help add density to your biceps!
This was my last set and I couldn't go any heavier as I am still nursing a wrist injury, but the 50lbers were more than enough to do the job!
Try them out next time you train arms and let me know how it goes!!!
Still training, hope you are too and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense

Injury-Proof Your Training: The Power of Workout Variation!
One of the main reasons why I can still train heavy and intensely at 49 after 35 years of nonstop training without any training related overuse injuries is the fact that I vary EVERY workout!
Overuse injuries come from doing the same movements over and over and by always changing your routine, you radically lessen the likelihood of chronic injury.
Squats, deadlifts, barbell curls and bench presses are great exercises, but if you do them all the time, you do increase the odds of getting injured.
And as a natural athlete, it bears mentioning that it takes years to realize your full potential, and so it's crucial to have a training program that is sustainable, and one that will allow you to train injury free for as long as I have or longer!
