March 2, 2010 · Leave a Comment
In a previous Q & A post I briefly discussed what Hany Rambod’s FST-7 training is about. In this post I want to go over how to implement FST-7 and when doing so might be beneficial. The Basics of FST-7 For starters, FST-7 should be used with weaker, smaller body parts that you want to bring up in size. So let’s say, for example, that your back needs to be wider… Select an exercise that targets the muscle you wish to bring up. In our example, this would be the lats Reverse-grip Lat Pulldown Finish (latissimus dorsi). Choose an isolation exercise or at least one that focuses... [Read the full story]

New Research Shows Surprising Dangers of Sitting!
January 22, 2010 · Leave a Comment
I just finished reading a VERY interesting article from the British Journal of Sports Medicine that discusses how detrimental sitting is to our health. Of course we already know that failing to exercise is not good for us — that’s a no-brainer. But this article (technically a press release) specifically talks about the (shocking) difference in how our body responds to sitting as opposed to simply standing and/or moving around a bit. Recent research is consistently showing that even the most minor of movements can do wonders for preventing the physiological decline that we suffer when... [Read the full story]

Quit Being So Damned Optimistic!
October 14, 2009 · 1 Comment
Contrary to the title of this post, I’m all about being optimistic. In fact, I could even be described as very optimistic myself. Quit being so happy... loser. So you can imagine my surprise when I read a recent study that shows that optimism may actually be a hindrance to your weight loss efforts! My initial thought was “these researchers have lost their minds… and they MUST be pessimists!” (Come to think of it, was I being pessimistic by thinking that? Hmmm…) I figured you would find this interesting like I did, so I made an episode of the Dr Clay Show about... [Read the full story]
