Build MASSIVE BICEPS With Arm Blaster Hammer Curls!💪

Arm Blaster Hammer Curls are an absolute mass-building must for your biceps! A staple in Naturally Intense High-Intensity Training, this variation takes regular arm blaster curls to the next level. The neutral grip allows you to lift heavier, isolate the biceps, and hit the brachialis for even more growth!

This was my final set, grinding my way up from 40lb to 60lb dumbbells—nonstop, all-out, true Naturally Intense style!

I was aiming for 12 reps, but when I still had some fight left, I dug deep for two more gut-wrenching reps until I hit complete muscular failure! Not bad for a 50-year-old, if I do say so myself and thanks to my training partner, @egcitrin for the encouragement! 😤🔥

💥 Mt biceps still sore, and the pump was unreal! 💥

Try this out on your next arm day and remember—go all out! 💯

Thanks for watching and as always. Excelsior!!!💪#naturallyintense

Throwback to the early 2000s after Leg Day! 📸

My legs were on fire🔥 after some of the most intense training sessions of my life at the legendary 5th Avenue Gym!

My Naturally Intense High Intensity Training workouts only lasted 10-20 minutes, but it was the most BRUTAL 10-20 minutes imaginable!

Back then, it was all about grit, grind, and pushing past my limits 💪.

Fast forward to today, and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS CHANGED—except now, I’m bringing YOU along for the ride!

My life work has always been about sharing best practices to help natural athletes realize their training goals and to that end I just uploaded a Naturally Intense High Intensity Training leg workout video to my YouTube channel, breaking down some of the principles that helped me build these legs, but most importantly, allow me to keep training just as hard and just as heavy completely injury free in my 50`s!

Want better leg results in less time? Hit the link in my bio or search me up (Naturally Intense) on YouTube to watch and crush your next leg day! 🚀

I hope it helps you on your path towards excellence and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense

Chest CRUSHING Lever Arm Presses! 325lbs For 6 Reps! 💪

Another day going all out with Naturally Intense High Intensity Training! 🔥

After two solid sets, my training partner @egcitrin decided to push me beyond my comfort zone and loaded up 325lbs— or maybe she didn`t feel like putting on a 25lb plate as the 45lb plate was closer! 😂

Either way, it was more than I’ve pressed in a long time but with some serious grit and serious focus, I managed to grind out 6 hard earned reps! 💪🔥

And let me tell you—I’m still sore from it but there`s no better feeling than breaking barriers and realizing what your body is truly capable of.

Shoutout to Erika for cheering me on through those reps and here’s to always setting the bar higher. 🏋️‍♂️

For the equipment minded, I used @betitanfit lever arms attached to my heavily modified @roguefitness Monster Lite Rack with a pullup bar joining them together. Which makes for a truly smooth pressing movement that maintains tension on the pectoral muscles from start to finish very much like a Hammer Strength Machine. And at that angle you are really lifting!!!

Thanks for watching and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense

The BIGGEST Diet Mistake Almost Everyone Makes!

One of the biggest mistakes everyone from natural bodybuilders to fitness enthusiasts make in their diet is not getting enough fiber.

Let’s face it—staying on track with your diet and keeping cravings under control is one of the hardest parts of maintaining a fantastic physique long-term. And that shredded, low-body-fat look is all about your diet.

But if you’re not managing cravings, one cheat meal can easily turn into two, then three, then four… and suddenly, you’re off track.

The real issue? Fiber intake.

Most health guidelines recommend at least 25 grams of fiber daily, but when I first started working with natural bodybuilders, fitness enthusiasts, and athletes, I noticed many were barely hitting this mark.

High-protein, low-carb diets (common in bodybuilding) often lack adequate fiber—and while these diets might SEEM ideal for cutting, they’re far from optimal for your body’s long-term needs OR FOR STAYING IN SHAPE LONG TERM!

Here’s the reality: our ancestors—hunter-gatherers—consumed around 120 grams of fiber per day. That`s a lot of fiber!

And inspired by this, I slowly increased my own fiber intake over the years to 60 grams per day, and the results were life-changing. My cravings practically disappeared, and I haven’t had a cheat meal in years. Which is how I have been able to maintain my physique now for decades on end.

It`s worked wonders as well for our clients. But I do recommend increasing your fiber intake gradually—going too fast can cause digestive discomfort and serious health issues—so slow and steady as the benefits are worth it!

So increase your fiber, control your cravings, master your diet, and achieve that look you’ve worked so hard for. 💪

Know that I believe you can do it and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense

🔥 Build Boulder Shoulders with High-Intensity Viking Presses! 🔥

Looking to take your shoulder gains to the next level? The Viking Press is an absolute game-changer for building strength, and size and is a great tool n our Naturally Intense High Intensity Training system.

Landmines are absolutely amazing home gym add on and I highly recommend them for the range of exercises they can offer!

This was my last set and I went all out and I mean all out!

I figured I might get about 10 reps as the weight on the bar was maxed out, but eked out 14 solid ones and some hard earned partials at the end!

My shoulders are still smoking!!!

Give this a try next time you train shoulders and let me know how it goes!!!

DO THE WORKOUTS REALLY LAST 10 MINUTES?

Yes, very often it takes more time to get to the gym than it does to do the entire workout!

I AM NOT IN GREAT SHAPE- IS THIS WORKOUT SUITABLE FOR ME?

Many of our clients never set foot in a gym before working with us, and the great part about one-on-one training like this is that the training intensity is based on what you can do. We evaluate where you are and formulate the workout based on your individual fitness level, and it’s a method proven safe for all ages. As for those with pre-existing injuries, the wide variety of exercises allow us to always be able to find a way to help work around and rehabilitate almost any injury. Over the past 27 years we have worked with just about every injury possible and we are always able to tailor the high intensity workouts accordingly.

WHERE IS THE TRAINING DONE?

We primarily train out of the Complete Body Gym at 22 West 19th Street, New York, NY 10011 (between 5th and 6th Avenues)or we can come to you. The gym is one of the best equipped gyms in New York City and complimentary gym membership is included in all of our packages!However we understand that some prefer training in the privacy of their own home or apartment gym, in which case we send a trainer out to you!

WHAT IS THE DIET LIKE?

Our dietary guides are designed specifically for you and your goals. Whether you are an omnivore, vegan, vegetarian or something in between, we will create an eatign plan to make sure you get the most out of your workouts! The approach calls for a natural food based diet with an emphasis on minimally or unprocessed foods. We have custom apps that you can use on your phone to track your food intake if you are so inclined and we offer 24 hour support for any questions and to guide you through the process.

CAN I TRY IT OUT FIRST?

Absolutely! We offer a risk free first session where you will meet with us, have a short dietary consultation and experience our high intensity training 10 minute workout! We are so confident that you will love it that if you don’t think it will work for you we will refund the cost of the session. No questions asked! But in 27 years it hasn’t happened yet as EVERYONE who tries it, loves it!!!
