Upcoming UFC Fights

Here are some upcoming UFC main feature fights:

Tapout

Recently my sister bought for me my first Tapout t-shirt for Christmas. This was a much anticipated day for me because I had wanted one for sometime but had never purchased one. They have quit a wide selection of sizes and styles for all walks of life. Below is a link and a banner to support the Tapout brand.

Olympic Weightlifting

Over the holiday weekend I went with my brother-in-law to his gym that he attends on a daily basis. The name of the gym is The Lab Gym. They have all the amenities of a full sized big name gym but the down home good people of a smaller more personable gym. My brother-in-law is training for Olympic Weight lifting. Justin Thacker is the owner and trainer of the gym training my brother-in-law and aiding him how ever he can as well as setting up competitions whenever they are available.

Olympic Weightlifting is a whole new realm of working out, I had never experienced Olympic Weightlifting before and was quite amazed by the power and technique that goes into the training and preparation of this amazing sport.

For the first time ever I tried a squat with an Olympic Weightlifting bar. The bar itself weighs 45lbs I added another 10lbs of plate weights and from there tried to do the squat. With a little assistance from my brother-in-law and a great trainer from The Lab, I think that i have learned the basics of the squat and will from this point on incorporate this into my weekly workout regimen. Please check out The Lab Gym website for more information on Olympic Weightlifting and other services offered.

Crazy Martial Arts Video

I was doing a little searching on YouTube for some interesting videos for my blog. I came across this video of these guys going nut's on this dummy punching/kicking stand. It's crazy let me know what you think. Thanks for viewing check back soon for more videos, tips, and updates.

Cutting Workouts

Today I was searching the internet for some more good tips on fitness and weight-loss. I found a site called " Muscle and Strength" It has good information on cutting. The terminology "cutting" refers to losing weight with cardio and weight training, and a small adjustment in your diet (cut your daily caloric intake by 500) this will aid in you dropping the LB's. Check out the link provided for more information on the site.



These are some very informational and instructional links that are provided above I hope that they will help you as well as they will help me. Please leave a comment on how it worked for you.
