World-Class Fitness in 100 Words




*
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.*Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.*Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense.*Regularly learn and play new sports.—

Update.

Yesterday was an amazing day.
We got into Charlotte Nc late (Thurs) and stayed in a phenomenal hotel.

Slept in on Friday. Explored Charlotte a bit an then headed to MDUSA. We spent the afternoon watching the guys train and chatting with Don McCauley.

We visited the MDUSA store and picked up some goodies
Everyone was super cool. Look forward to visiting again soon.
The next hour was spent with Jon, Jess and Don, chatting about everything weightlifting. We were beyond lucky to be there at this time. The info that was shared was priceless (and inside secrets :-) ).

Following training. Headed to Jon & Jess's to clean up. Great conversation, constantly learning. We hit a great steak house nearby and were there most of the night. The night was a phenomenal way to finish off our trip. Great company, weightlifting talk and great food. Jess & Jon are so passionate about their careers, you simply can't help but be instantly motivated and want more of yourself.
