Well, I actually have many addictions (more on that another time), but one of my addictions is quality training gear.

I love using quality training gear.  There is nothing like it.

When it comes to quality gear I highly suggest Rogue Fitness.

I know a lot of people think that this is Crossfit gear, yes they sponsor Crossfit but I DO NOT CROSSFIT (more on that if anyone is interested).  But the quality of Rogue Gear is just straight up sick.  Don’t think that because you don’t crossfit this gear isn’t for you.  No matter your “style” of training Rogue makes killer gear.

Ever see a kid on Christmas day?  That’s me when an order of Rogue Fitness Equipment shows up at Heavyweights Training Center.

I am actually unsubcribing from all e-mail lists that I don’t read or follow (you should join mine because I will always give you great info), but when I get an e-mail from Rogue I always open it.

I don’t care for Big TV’s, I don’t care of new sound steroes for my jeep.  I don’t care for brand name clothing.  But one thing I LOVE investing in is quality training gear for my gym and my clients.

Just today I ordered two of the new R 6 Power racks.  These racks are QUALITY

As well as you can see from the tour of my gym below I love my Rogue Gear

The ULTIMATE Garage Gym

Some of my favorites are

If you have a home gym or you are looking to build one I strongly recommend Rogue Fitness, their quality and service is TOP NOTCH.

Super Hero Workout Review

I don’t know about you but I am a HUGE fan of Super Hero’s.  Growing up I was a bit of a Spiderman Freak but as I aged I went more towards Batman.

Me & my friend Gill dressed up for Halloween about 10 years ago

One thing I always loved about Super Hero’s was their physiques.  I was a huge fan of freakish muscle and strength, I wasn’t big into Super Powers because well that was kinda not fair to the normal Super Hero’s that had to work their butts off and be damn smart, hence my obsession with Batman (Yes that’s me dressed up as Batman, I generally do this weekly lol).

I am sure you can relate to my Batman obsession with your own Super Hero of choice.  If so please leave a comment below on your favorite super hero.

Moving forward.

John Romanello (aka Roman www.RomanFitnessSystems.com), has just come out with a new AMAZING workout program and I was stoked to get a advanced copy.  I guess buying Roman a bottle of Tequila in Vegas had some benefits after all.

Enter The Super Hero Workout Program.

Let me say that after reviewing this product in full that I am totally stocked about this!  It’s a killer program covering everything you need to build a “Super Hero Physique”.

The Super Hero Workout is split into 4 phases.

• Phase 1 is power based, with some muscle building (Thor for inspiration).
• Phase 2 is more agility, conditioning and the like (think Spiderman workout and Batman).
• Phase 3 is pure mass (inspired by the Hulk workout–don’t worry ladies, he has something for you as well).
• Phase 4 is more of a combination, so little bit of everything. More for “all around” heros like Super Man.

He may even include some TRX workouts that he may call “Web-Slinger Suspension Training”.

These programs are not your typical Muscle Magazine crap programs, these are well mapped out programs with very specific intentions.

For you ladies don’t worry Roman has included a program designed specifically for females to attain the Super Hero female look. I loved the BLADE Series thank you Jessica Biel, (Jessica Biel took her body & role to another level).

Roman created a FULL Super Hero Workout Program for women, complete with training manual and workout log sheets.

Back to The Super Hero Workout, what is great about this program as well is that it comes complete with The Super Hero Workout Log Sheets, you can print these off and take them to the gym and follow the exact workouts specified by Roman.

Roman did a great job on The Super Hero Workout Programs, here is a sample below.

This program covers everything no matter your goal.

Want the mass & strength like The Hulk?  The Super Hero Workout Covers It

Want the musculature & athleticism of Batman?  The Super Hero Workout Covers It.

Want a Body Like Superman or Superwoman?  The Super Hero Workout Covers It.

Want to be built like THOR?  The Super Hero Workout Covers it.

Honestly I don’t get really excited over many programs these days, I have seen so many things in my last 15 years but I really love what Roman has done here, he has put the fun back into program design and really come up with something cool & awesome and let’s not forget the programs and info are SOLID.

Highly recommend you check it out, I can guarantee that you will LOVE The Super Hero Workout.

To get more info on The Super Hero Workout or to grab a copy head over to Roman’s site at www.GetSuperHeroWorkout.com.

I hope you enjoy the Super Hero Workout.

I wish I had Six Pack Bags Meal System years ago.  This product is fantastic and I can’t give it a high enough rating.  It’s a solid product, buy one and you are set!

Hope this review of Six Pack Bags helped you!

If you didn’t already know I am a HUGE South Park fan.  Like huge, I can watch South Park all day long.  I don’t want much TV but there are a few shows I love to watch, South Park, Breaking Bad and for some reason Celebrity Rehab. If that isn’t the weirdest combination I don’t know what is.

One episode of South Park Cartman (My favorite South Park Character) kept saying “Man that’s hella cool” or thats “hella stupid”.  So anytime I love something or thing its BAD ASS i still say “Man that’s Hella Cool”.  Thanks to Cartman I now sound like I am in the 5th grade (Sweet!).

Anyways here are 10 “Hella Cool” Holiday Gifts I thought you would enjoy!

Fat Gripz – These are simply brilliant.  If you have never used them you just don’t know how hella cool these are!  For improving grip strength, imrpoving forearm and bicep growth, making basic exercises far more challenging, and much much more, Fat Gripz are a MUST OWN.

For like 40$ grab a pair throw them in your gym bag and way to go.  This product kicks ass.

My favorite exercises with Fat Gripz are Chin Ups, Deadlifts, Reverse Curls, and standing bar press.

Grab a set, you won’t be dissapointed! www.GetFatGripz.com

6 Pack Bag – I wish I had come up with this idea because it is so simple yet so brilliant! Imagine a hella cool bag for putting all your Food, Supplements & Shakes.  That is pretty much awesomeness right there.  So simple, yet so awesome.

The quality of this bag is sick, you really need to see it to appreciate just how cool it is.  I am a tupper ware fiend from my years of bodybuilding and this is one of the coolest things I could have bought.  If you are serious about your nutrition (and you SHOULD BE), I suggest you get one.  It’s something you will love once you have.

Check it out at www.Get6PackBags.com

Vibram Five Fingers – Most people won’t wear these because they “Look Funny” or maybe people are concerned that someone will laugh at them or draw attention.  People want to fit it blend in.  Personally I couldn’t give a sh*t what anyone thinks.  If it makes my training better and keeps me healthy I will wear or use anything no matter what anyone thinks.  Hence my “Aqua Shoes” as some people refer to them

Bottom line these are hella cool for many reasons!  Imagine bench pressing wearing mittens?  Or how about doin chin ups in gloves?  Well there ya go!  Vibrams active muscles that have gotten forgotten about and make you feel far more “into” training.  It’s hard to explain until you try them.  I love em and I don’t care who is laughing, because my workouts are better.  So as Cartman would say “Screw You Guys!”

Do some reading at  www.VibramFiveFingers.com

Jack3d – Yes Jack3d made my list!  Not since Ephedrine have I had such awesome, intense, focused energetic workouts!  I love this product.  Yes after like 6 bottles I have gotten used to it and I am sure there are far better products out there, but Jack3d has a place in my heart for being a “Hella Cool Supplement”.

It’s cost effective, easy on the stomach, and a NO B. S. product.  I loved it, and highly recommend it works, for good reason, it’s AWESOME >.

For more info check out www.GetJack3d.com

Rob King’s Sport Supplement Guide – Shameless plug!  I don’t care.  My Sports Supplement Guide is HELLA COOL.  It’s full of useful information on many of the top supplements on the market.  I would know because I am a supplement junkie and use most of them .

If you want to learn more about Sports Supplements to help you Build Muscle, Lose Fat, and Improve Performance I suggest you get a copy.  Oh and BONUS it’s FREE!!

For more info check out www.SportsSupplementGuide.com

The Magic Bullet – I go through a LOT of shakes.  I pretty much live of shakes, I love em, and I hate to cook.  So it’s match made in heaven.  However big huge blenders drive me mental.  They are a pain and every shake I make doesn’t have to be a monster (except after leg day).

Along comes the Magic Bullet!  This is not just an over priced blender (well ok maybe it is, but it is HELLA COOL trust me!).  I just bought the holiday version deal. I can’t wait to get it!

Grab a set, you won’t be dissapointed! www.BuyTheBullet.com

Shaker Pro 40 - Pretty much the coolest shaker ever made.  I go through shaker cups like crazy (yes i know I am going to hell for the enviorment, I will save you a space).  This shaker is pretty much the coolest shaker there is period.

Keep your protein powder dry & seperate from your juice/milk etc.  Blend/mix as needed and also bad ass quality to boot!

Add this with your 6 Pack Meal Bag system and you are SET! These are awesome!

Get this shaker you will love it! www.GetShakerPro40.com

Anabolic Cooking- As stated above, I hate cooking, I really really do.  Like just walking in the kitchen stresses me out big time.  Luckily I have a wonderful girlfriend who tries to keep me quite by feeding me.

She likes to eat healthy as well and we both enjoy our quality food.  So I consider Anabolic Cooking a Must Have.  Get a copy, print it off and bound and staples, throw it in the Kitchen and you have over 100 amazing tasty healty meals!

Remember I hate to cook, so if you wan’t to drop some food by Heavyweights some time I would be happy and you would be Hella Cool for sure!

Grab a copy & start cooking! www.GetAnabolicCooking.com

Trigger Point Therapy Soft Tissue Work SUCKS!  It is evil, it down right KILLS, but it is such a good wonderful pain.  Soft tissue work if you don’t know it is amazing for preventing injuries, recovering from injuries, helping with strength, aiding in tissue health and qualty and much much more.

But it hurts like a MOFO!  So if you aren’t doing any soft tissue work you SHOULD BE.  So stop being a puss and get some Soft Tissue stuff, it’s amazing and if you don’t need it now you will down the road (Trust me).

So there you have it.  9 Hella Cool Gift Ideas that I recomend to make you bigger, stronger, faster and COOLER .

Feel free to reply and share any products you would recommend for me to try.  I would love to hear form you so post em up!

I am a hurting unit this morning after a killer circuit training workout last night and also a crazy back workout.  More on that next week (I have some cool training videos which I am very proud of), but in the meantime check out the name of the workout I had for my 6 Week Ripped In 42 Transformation class last night, this is just awesome.

Even though I have been training for almost 20 years now (Sh*t I am getting OLD), one thing still remains, I can’t get enough of good information related to getting stronger, bigger and faster.  I read about 50 different blogs and usually 1-2 good books a week.  I am literally addicted, which is great because in turn I can pass on to you anything I feel is really worth your time.

There is a new program coming out that I am VERY excited about.  It’s called AMD 2.o (Advanced Muscular Development 2.0). and this product isn’t your typical boring 3 sets of 12 reps BS that we see in every single freakin magazine these days .

Smitty and his crew KNOW THEIR SH*T.  This is the real deal and I strongly recommend you check out this video they are offering to get an idea as to what TRUE strength training is all about.  These guys know their stuff.

I work with a lot of clients with my gym Bushido and also via online coaching and the guys at AMD are doing things right.  Check out this video it’s worth watching

Every product Eric has put out I own and use. One of my favorites was his REAL book called Maximum Strength which I bought a while ago and highly recommend.

I used his programming in this book and got really strong.  I still use programming parameters from it today with my clients.  That’s why I was excited to get a copy of his KILLER program called “Show & Go”

Facts about the Show and Go package:

1. It’s totally all electronic – you will be able to IMMEDIATELY download the product.
2. The manual is 70 pages.
3. He has 3 day/week and 4 day/week programs, consisting of 4 phases each.  These Training Templates are based on the exact ones Eric uses at Cressey Performance.
4. ONE OF THE BEST PARTS is the on-line video database with over 175 exercises (password protected, so you can only access it if you own the product).  This feature is awesome for those who are visual learners.
5. The package includes 5 supplemental metabolic conditioning programs (waaaaaay better than standing on the elliptical for hours)
6. You’ll have the option for exercise modifications if you don’t have the equipment required in the main program.

And that’s not all…check out these wicked bonuses:

1. Tony Gentilcore has put together 5 Finishers that are guaranteed to accelerate your progress, melt bodyfat and challenge you like never before.
2. Innovative Soft Tissue Strategies for Health and Performance ebook by Licensed Massage Therapist Christopher Howard.
3. The Top Five Glute Exercises ebook by The Glute Guy Bret Contreras
4. Show and Go training templates.
5. Quick video reference guide – a list of all the exercises in an easy to read pdf.

Here’s a screen shot of the quick video reference guide:

As Eric puts it in his book – this book is geared for people who really give a shit.  And it’s true.  Eric cuts the crap and gets right to it – the 70 page manual gets right into what you need for the workouts, how to test your initial strength levels, how to read and perform the program (rest intervals, tempo of the exercise, how to select a weight etc).  There’s even a section on when to go barefoot.

There is a awesome section called FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions.  Following that is a great static stretching section.

One of my favorite sections (a section that I teach my clients/athletes all the time) is the 5 Traits of Successful Athletes.  I’ll tell you one of the traits is CONSISTENCY.  It’s true…I don’t make progress and my athletes/clients don’t make progress until they are consistent.

Overall I found the programs really easy to follow and straight forward.

This program is geared for any one wanting to LOOK, FEEL and MOVE better (age and GENDER does NOT matter).

So, don’t miss out on this great opportunity to get strong with Show and Go. It is QUALITY product and I highly recommend it.

Thanks for reading and here is to better healthier training!

Rob

I used 1 scoop last night around 930 and couldn’t sleep a bit last night!

I had a great workout mind you, but never slept much.  So be careful taking this late at night if you train at that time.

1 MR from BPI is REALLY REALLY Strong. I can’t stress enough just how surprisingly strong this product really is.

I have used a ton of preworkouts and this one is one of, if not the strongest I have used.  So if you are sensitive to stimulants be very careful with this product ok.

1 MR is very strong, You have been warned, now lets move on to the review.

Taste : 1MR doesn’t taste bad at all, mind you it’s not great.  Easily drinkable.————————————————————————————

This week I chose to review my current favorite protein powder – Myofusion from Gaspari Nutrition.

I can’t say enough about this protein!  It is just plain awesome!  I have used many proteins since I opened Heavyweights and I have to say that this is one of, if not THE BEST tasting & mixing proteins I have ever used!

Review

• Amazing Taste!!  The Chocoalte is just like Nestle Quick!  AMAZING
• Easily mixes.  Little to no clumps at all
• Great protein Source ( Whey Concentrate, Whey Isolate,Milk & Egg Protein)
• 25 g Protein, 5g Carbohydrates, 3g Fat, 2g Sugar
• Aspartame Free!!

I get asked ALL the time “Whats the best protein?”.  Well there is no “Best” protein.  My advice is to have a good FOOD PROTEIN BASE, then add 2-3 scoops of any good quality, good brand whey protein!  I don’t recommend over priced isolates.

Use a good whey protein and If you can some BCAA (Xtend or Chain’d Out) and you will get all the protein you need!

For this week (March 12-19) we are offering Myofusion On SALE For $59.99!!!

I am a huge fan of this product!  Great for mood, energy, focus.  I can’t say if its great for strength as my current program I am doing more circuits and speed work more than anything heavy so anyone with feedback on this please feel free to contribute.

This is one of the strongrest pre workouts I have used and I have used a LOT!  Trust me it is awesome!

I found it really easy on the stomach, tasted pretty good, and made my workouts intense.  Hardly anyone has heard of it compared to the bigger pre workouts like NO Shotgun & NO Xplode, but I really like it and it gets a top review from me!
