The Next Angry Trainer Ustream Chat: Weights, Weights & More Weights!
It’s that time of the week again and this is a chat I’m really excited about!
By now you probably all know that my fitness beginnings all started with me picking up a dumbbell at age 13. And from there I’ve put my body through its paces with more weight training programs than I can truthfully recall. Along the way I’ve definitely learned a thing or two. The truth is I spend so much time nowadays talking about functional fitness and health, that it’ll be great to share what I know when it comes to straight weight training.
So this week’s Ustream chat will be all about nothing but weights and adding muscle. For instance, should you ever train for a 1–rep max lift? How about high reps versus low reps – which is better to grow muscle tissue and is one way better for strength? Does a stronger muscle necessarily have to grow bigger? How many times per week should you directly train a muscle? What should you eat to grow new muscle? And how much protein do you REALLY need to pack on the beef?
Seriously I could probably talk for hours about all of the different theories and my experiences. So as usual I’ll be taking your questions and answering them LIVE during the chat! So get a pen and paper ready and those questions loaded up. Here’s your chance to pick my Angry Brain!
Once again the conversation starts tomorrow, Tuesday 6th March at 9PM EST on my Ustream channel . Tell your friends, tell your family, heck, shout it out in the gym! The more participants we have, the more we’ll all learn.
See you then!
Alfonso

Ask Alfonso: How Fast Can I Gain Muscle After Forty?
about 1 month ago - 4 comments
Hi Alfonso, I was a cardio addict until about 6 months ago when I started HIIT, Tabata, and other high intensity workouts using mostly my bodyweight or sandbags. The reason for the addition of the workouts with weights was to gain some muscle definition, strength and not be a “fat skinny person”. My question…
Ask Alfonso: Am I Training On The Treadmill Too Much?

Hey Alfonso, I’m trying to build more muscle and get in better shape using free weights, but I also enjoy running. I’ve heard that too much cardio will impair your ability to build muscle. Is this true? I lift weights for 20-30 minutes and then run at 8mph for another 30 minutes. I try to…

Last night I held another Ustream chat this time focusing on the topic of Six Pack Abs. Sounds intriguing right? I mean who doesn’t want washboard abs. But the truth is that there’s so much misinformation out there that many people are clueless when it comes to abs training. So I figured this was a…

There’s no doubt we’re a nation obsessed with abs and waistlines, but I’d certainly concede that having a well-toned midsection can definitely make a person LOOK more fit and healthy. Of course TRUE fitness is more than skin deep and is about how we feel and perform more than how we actually look. Plus genetics,…

VIDEO: Angry Trainer Chat – Cardio Questions

Everyone knows that cardiovascular exercise is a key requirement for optimal health. But so many people are confused when it comes to the Cardio Question? Should you run, row, box, swim? Is slow to moderate better for fat burning or is high intensity interval training where it’s at? And how do you juggle cardio with…

Okay everyone – time to announce the topic for this week’s Ustream Chat. You may remember that my last chat topic was Diet Dilemmas and I hope it helped some of you out there view the word “diet” in a new way – especially as we all know how abused the term has become! If…

Well pretty disappointed that you didn’t really go into olympic and powerlifting.
Do those for about 4 months and things like curls and tricep extensions will seem like Mickey Mouse training.
Curls are anyway for bodybuilders who want to define the muscles they already have. People who wanted to have big strong arms should focus on strength. If you are strong, you’ll probably look strong.
