🔥 HIGH-INTENSITY INCLINE DUMBBELL FLYES 🔥

Within the context of Naturally Intense High Intensity Training, chest day isn’t just a workout—it’s going off to war, and today, we went all in. 💥💪

✅First set was with a pair of 60lb Nuobell Dumbbells to warm up and get my blood flowing as it was the first exercise of the day.

✅Second set was with 70lbs immediately after, no rest save to quickly change the weight for what I call a "check set"— as it determines my strength level for that day and gives me an idea of what my final weight will be.

✅ Then resting only long enough to increase the weight, my last "All Out Set" was with the 80lb dumbbells and I eked out seven gut-wrenching reps with my training partner @egcitrin shouting encouragement and I got to the point where I could not do another full flye even if my life depended on it! 💪

But with Naturally intense High Intensity Training, we don`t stop there, so I switched to partial presses, really stretching at the bottom and kept blasting through the pain to absolute failure!🔥

This isn’t just about lifting weights—it’s about breaking barriers and pushing past limits. Leaving everything you have on that bench! 💯

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

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

🔥 CHEST DAY PAIN = GAIN! 🔥

Naturally Intense High Intensity Training is brutal!

Isometrics are an essential aspect of our training style and I took my chest workout to the next level today by starting with a punishing 20 second hold while doing incline dumbbell flyes! 💥💪

It was the last of three sets and time to go all out and so I had a pair of 80lb Nuobells in my hands and I held the dumbbells in the fully stretched incline flye position for a grueling 20-second isometric hold—🔥

Holds like these really stimulate pectoral muscle involvement and can be a key factor in helping you realize maximum chest development.

But my chest was on fire, my arms were shaking, with my muscles screaming at me to to quit... but I refused to give in and I had my training partner @egcitrin screaming at me as well to help me keep my focus!

(Thanks Erika!)

Then, with everything left in the tank (which wasn’t much 😅), I cranked out an all-out set of dumbbell flyes to complete failure!

The kind where your muscles give out before your mind does!

Full stretch, full squeeze, no mercy! 💀

This is the kind of training that separates good from great and as a natural athlete you always have to be pushing past limits and embracing the pain, as it`s the only path to that next level of growth! 💯

I was aiming for 6 reps after that 20 second hold and you`re going to have to watch the video to see how many I got!!!

Drop a 🔥 if you’re down to try this next chest day and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense

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
