Vince Delmonte from http://www.VinceDelMonteFitness.com teaches you how to do a proper stretching warm up before you weight train. These stretch exercises and stretching exercises will wake up your nervous system properly.

This is a workout that Vince Delmonte did with Lee Hayward while they were on vacation in Las Vegas. They did a fast and intense Metabolic Conditioning bodyweight circuit workout routine. This is an awesome way to get a killer muscle building and conditioning workout with a simple 20 minute circuit. They did a full body circuit of pull ups, dips, box jumps / step ups, and leg raises.

You wake up in the morning and look in the mirror. Pleased with your appearance? If you more resemble the appearance of a long distance marathon runner than a world class sprinter, don’t worry, you aren’t alone. You just need to start following these weight lifting rules.

There are quite a few guys who simply have trouble packing on the lean muscle mass. Whether their hormonal environment isn’t quite as favourable or genetics was just out to get them at birth, one thing is for sure and that’s that they need to follow a slightly different set of weight lifting methods than those who seem to grow muscle overnight.

Luckily for you, you’re taking the time to do your research about weight lifting so you won’t be destined to a life where it seems like a strong wind might knock you over.

First, one of the key factors that skinny guys need to remember is that they must avoid volume work at all costs.

Rule #1:

Get in the gym and get out! That should be your motto from this day forward. Repeat it. Breathe it. Live it. Weight lifting is a calorie expensive activity and you need all the calories you can get at this point. If you are burning it up in the gym every single day, how do you expect to grow? You won’t.

You grow when you are resting and generally, the skinnier you are, the more rest you are going to need.

Now, that doesn’t mean you should park it on the couch for a few days in between your workouts. It simply means that each weight lifting should not consist of set after set after set. Followed by a rest break to talk to that hot receptionist and then back to another twenty sets.

No, you’re workouts need to consist of ten-twelve or fewer sets where you are pushing yourself to the MAX. There is no room for sissy, light-weight work in your weight lifting program.

Which brings us to Rule #2:

My buddy Vince Delmonte went to Las Vegas  a few weeks back, and this is what he brought back for us. Check it out.

And here is your second video as promised by my fitness coach Vince Delmonte.

Yesterday I sent you the “Get Bigger Biceps” Las Vegas workout and today you can watch my buddy Lee Hayward crank out a simple but effective tricep workout. 

I thought you would enjoy the picture here of Lee Hayward and I enjoying some beverages at a night club.  As you’ll see from the picture, I believe in AUTHENTICITY and TRANSPARENCY

Some fitness guys would hide these pictures from you but I just want to remind you that I’m human too and love to have a good time and cut loose.

You don’t have to be obsessed or have a perfect lifestyle to build muscle.  It’s all about balance and moderation.

As you’ll see in the video, the small hotel gym we were training at had a limited amount of equipment (i.e. an adjustable bench, dumbbell rack, and some resistance machines). So this entire tricep workout is done using just dumbbell exercises only.  They didn’t have barbells.

We used the Positions Of Flexion style of training which starts with a mid-range compound exercise (rolling db extensions), then goes into a fully stretched exercise (overhead db extensions), and finishes up with a peak contraction exercise (db tricep kick backs).

I had Lee demonstrate this entire workout because I buggered up something in my elbow which is almost fully recovered now.

That’s it.  Pretty simple on paper.  Tough in action.

I have got a few more really good workout and nutrition videos that were shot in Vegas.  Stay tuned.

Hey guys, today I wanna share with you a post from my fitness coach Vince Delmote, a few weeks ago he went off to Vegas to catch up with some fitness friends of his. Here is his post, he has also included a workout video for you all.

<<<<<<< VINCE DELMONTE >>>>>>>>>>

A few weeks ago while I was traveling to Las Vegas to hang out with fitness friends Craig Ballantyne, Mike Geary, Lee Hayward, Joel Marion and John Barban. 

Every time I travel I look for opportunity to film videos for you in new locations, even if the gym charges $35 for a day pass like this one did.

Hey, I spent almost $35 on two alcoholic beverages so I couldn’t justify not paying the same amount on something that was actually good for my body and help you get bigger biceps.

Check out the “Get Bigger Biceps” work out Lee Hayward and I filmed for you with limited equipment emphasizing different positions of flexion.

This was our  “Las Vegas Pre-Club” Bigger Bicep Arm Workout using three different positions of flexion.

We start with Standing Bicep Curls, then Incline Bench Bicep Curls, and finish up with Concentration Curls.

Watch the video to learn the significance of each different position – they were not randomly selected.

Each exercise is done for 4 sets 12-10-8-6 reps. With about 30-60 seconds rest between sets. Pyramid up in weight with each set by increasing the dumbbells by 5 pounds and dropping the reps with each set.

That’s it.  Pretty simple on paper.  Tough in action.

Single click the video so you can post your comments on it below:

Look out for the Bigger Triceps video coming tomorrow.

Your about to learn some of the inside secrets from Your Six Pack Quest by Vince Delmonte in this next video i have for you, enjoy.

The past two years I’ve really worked hard at building big shoulders and maintain an X frame by really working my deltoid muscles (anatomical name for shoulders) to make them round, dense and thick.

My favorite delt exercise for building big shoulders is Seated Dumbbell Presses and got up to 4 sets of 6 last summer with 90 lbs.

Anybody who has done Vince’s No-Nonsense Muscle Building program knows he likes stacking exercises as an advanced technique to build big shoulders.  One of the circuits is demonstrated below by Joey Vaillancourt who is one of the Biggest Gainer Competitors.

Check out Joey’s shoulder routine in this video… it’s a pretty brutal shoulder routine.

One of my favorite ways to train shoulder is with an old school shoulder blaster that you can watch in the next video below.  It’s pretty fun and very effective especially if you don’t have a lot of time to train.

You may have heard of this “little known” trick for maximum muscular development but you may not have applied it properly or you may have not heard of it at all…

It’s called a “tempo.”

A tempo is the rate that you move the weights.  You might move your weights “slow and controlled” or you might move them “fast and aggressively.”  Both speeds of lifting have different results on your muscle fibers and rate of development.

To be honest, if you have been training longer than 4 years and really in tune with your body and how your muscles “need” to feel to make gains then you might NOT need this lesson for today.  If not, keep reading…

Body weight training can be used for strength training, building muscle or getting six-pack abs.  I am going to show you a body weight training program that involves minimal equipment and consistent progress to build a first-rate body.

If you think body weight training is under rated when it comes to building muscle then I suggest you give it a second chance after watching this body weight training program.

FYI, performing 50 reps on the chin ups and pull ups is extremely advanced.  I have done 50 pull ups and 50 chin ups in 4 mini-sets (about 30-60 sec rest) and that is STILL very challenging.  The name of the game, when it comes time to building new head turning muscle is PROGRESS.

Focusing on increasing reps or doing the same number of reps in less time is an easy way to monitor progress for a body weight training routine.

If you need something new and are getting bored then try out this 5 exercise body weight training program, when you hit the gym tonight or tomorrow, which will test your muscular endurance, conditioning and mental toughness.
