Gym closures were one of the first major changes to our lives because of COVID-19 and we recognize that many are having a hard time figuring out how to train at home, especially as weights and exercise equipment have become hard to find. I can’t underscore the importance of regular exercise at this time when most of us find ourselves confined to our homes, not just for your physical health but for your mental health as well. And so I put together a high intensity leg workout that you can do at home, with or without weights.
I also took the liberty of adding some recommendations for alternatives to weights based on best practices that we have been implementing with our clients for years when working with them online. It’s a tough workout and do be sure to go at your own pace and no more than once a week. Most importantly, if you have any questions whatsoever I am always just a message away!

Not Bad For Training Only Three Days A Week!
Because it`s three days a week with soul crunching intensity non stop for the past 33 years.
There`s no gimmick to it and it means being uncompromisingly all in for your workouts and with your nutrition.
I don`t think there`s that much that special about me.
There`s nothing enhanced, nothing boosted by testosterone and there weren`t any special "supplements" along the way.
Just three days of blistering hard work each week and meticulous attention to what I eat.
Being 90% on point each week means you are 100% off after 10 weeks and I can`t emphasize enough how much of a difference unshakeable consistency makes to your overall results.
Most of the natural athletes didn`t get where they are by any genetic advantage, they just did what is so very rare- which is stick to their process 100%.
It`s not easy as it`s not always easy and certainly not always popular, but you owe it to yourself to see just how far you can go if you go all in!
Looking forward to seeing your results and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense

What I Eat To Stay Lean and Keep Building Muscle All Year Round.
If there every was a "secret" to how I consistently stay in shape (and almost 20 years since my last competition) the answer would be my diet.
Diet is the deciding factor in what your body looks like and your overall performance and I want to stress that while this is a layout of the foods I eat on a daily basis, it`s not a blueprint for your YOU should be eating.
What it can be is an example of what it takes to maintain a certain degree of size and muscularity at all times as a natural athlete, and also the underlying principle to how I select my foods.
Which is that I don`t eat junk foods or highly processed foods and I only drink water.
(No protein shakes, ever!)
If you can start with that, there`s no doubt that you will be on the right track in terms of your nutrition.
So stay away from processed foods, know that I believe in you and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense

Post workout physique check in.
The contest gets closer and closer as the sun meanders across the sky, as my contest is and always will be, did I do everything I possibly could that day to improve?
Did I train hard enough?
Did I push it enough?
The dietary part isn`t an issue.
It hasn`t been for many years as I always make sure that my nutrition is on point, and there`s no leeway on that front.
I don`t feel good when I`m not eating optimally, and I respect myself enough to not settle into a place where not feeling my best is the norm.
And to be honest, it feels really good to put my head down at the end of the day knowing that I gave it my all.
Not that I was the best or was even necessarily successful at everything that I set out to accomplish, but knowing that I gave everything nonetheless.
It`s a feeling I want everyone to have.
To sleep soundly knowing that you gave it your all.
That you didn`t miss an opportunity to improve on what you are passionate about, because in so doing, you experience an eagerness to do the same the next day.
It`s the ultimate contest and I invite everyone to submit their application forms, as it`s one of the few competitions where everyone who does the work and shows up, is in the winner`s circle.
Keep striving, keep pushing and as always, Excelsior! #naturallyintense
(Thanks @indi.anna.r or taking the shot, as I know your arm was probably shaking after that workout!)

Motivation vs Discipline. What You Really Need To Be Successful!
I am often asked what was my motivation to keep going starting off as a skinny 125lb kid who no one believed could ever be a successful bodybuilder.
The answer is that motivation didn`t have that much to do with it.
Motivation may have played a part in getting me started, but it was discipline that got me to where I wanted to be.
Motivation is fleeting and ephemeral, it`s not always going to be there and on the days when you don`t feel like eating right or training hard, you need a disciplined practice to see you through.
A disciplined practiced based on doing what you need to do to be successful regardless of the circumstances.
That`s how I made it through all those tough times when I felt I wasn`t getting anywhere, and it`s what will help you as well.
So forget motivation, focus on building a disciplined practice, know that I believe in you and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense
