Sylvester Stallone Cutting Diet - Rocky 3. During Rocky III, Sylvestor Stallone had a stringent diet -- mostly tuna fish, and about 35 cups of coffee and very small brown rice oatmeal cookies. Sylvestor Stallone said his body fat got down to 2.6% which he admitted was insane. "Don't do that," he said.

Not your usual kind of fitness example, but an example of Circle Breathing performed by  22-year old trombone phenom, Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews, fronts for one of the most energetic group of funksters to ever slip slide out of the Big Easy, playing with his band Orleans Avenue and performs the song St. James Infirmary at the Salmon Arm, BC 17th Annual Roots & Blues Festival (@SAROOTSandBLUES) / YouTube). Don't know if this would ever have any practical application in athletics, but this CIRCLE BREATHING that begins at 2:09 (elapsed time) to 3:43. That is 94 seconds of forcing air through and out of the trumpet while grabbing a few inhalations. The vitals (Blood pressure, heart rate and ECG) would be very interesting to monitor during this performance. The performance was uploaded October 1, 2009. The Salmon Arm, BC 17th Annual Roots & Blues Festival was August 14-16, 2009. In case you're wondering Troy Andrews "Trombone Shorty" plays the tr...

Keith: "For years, I chased heavy weights and looked strong on the outside… but my chest development was inconsistent, my technique sloppy, and my results plateaued. I kept thinking, “Am I doing this right?” What I didn’t realize was - I was training wrong (@keithhanenianesq / YouTube). Key Points: The routine is three exercises in one, in series with each part using 10-12 repetitions. Go light and work your way up Use a bench inclined at 25 to 30 degrees Keith Hanenian 3-in-1 Chest Exercise: Standard Press with hands cradling the dumbbell. Up side: Don't lock out. Down side:  Don't go to far down. Flys use a palm facing palm position with round arc motion. Down side: Unnamed, but will call it a Close Grip Dumbbell Press ...  facing palm position. Up side: List above your nose, almost straight, but don't lock out. Down side:  Lower the dumbbells with center handles at about the xiphoid process (the bottom of your breast bone or sternum).

Working to avoid excessive motion (off-axis) in the shoulder joint by activating the infraspinatus and teres minor muscle to keep an instant center in the joint. Efforts to develop "boulder shoulders" can damage the rotator cuff -- especially the supraspinatus muscle. The rotator cuff muscles help keep the humerus (upper arm bone) in the the proper place in the glenohumeral joint (shoulder joint).  Actions controlling the humerus include abduction (raising the arm), adduction (lowering the arm, think lat pulldown), horizontal adduction (think bench press, chest pulley flys), extension (think close-grip lat pulldown or straight arm triceps pressdown), flexion (think front raise), horizontal abduction (think posterior deltoid machine),  external rotation (see video), and internal rotation (deduce opposite of external rotation in video). There are three groups of muscles that provide healthy, pain free, and functional motion of the arms and shoulder when the force tensio...

Mike O'Hearn advising a man with a hybrid Seated Row (Pronated Grip)/Upright Row at Gold's Gym Venice, California in a video posted about 7:30 AM PST/9:30 AM CST. At first glance, the exercise looks like a Seated Row, but some might contend it is more like an Upright Row. An interesting encounter with Mike O'Hearn as he instructs an unidentified male adult on a variation of the Seated Row, or what may be better described as a variation on the Upright Row. It looks like a Close-Grip Seated Row, but the man's forearms are pronated during the grip, and the elbows are positioned high. Haven't tried this yet, but it looks like the rotator cuff is not impinged with the pronated grip, which allows the elbows to be tracked higher, which improves the isolation of the posterior deltoids (rear delts). There will be an update after this motion is attempted in practice. Initially, recommending using a close-grip attachment that has somewhat of a V-shape to minimize radial devi...

Sylvester Stallone training transformation for Rocky & Rambo movies ( Best Action Movies/YouTube ). The video shows the transformation of Sylvester Stallone from an above average athletic physique to a ripped and chiseled physique with extra muscle mass and lower body fat percentage. Stallone used a split routine with two workouts per day for six days per week. Some workouts were four hours long. Different one or two muscle groups were worked on different days to allow focus on a muscle group alternated with rest on another muscle group.  Each workout often involved minimal rest between sets, which kept his heart rate elevated to help burn fat. There was one day every week dedicated to rest, but Stallone also made the rest day an active rest day.  Diet: No mayonnaise. No cream. No butter. Mostly lean meats and fish, eggs and vegetables. Protein shakes throughout the day.  No steroids. All content, videos and links mentioned are for information only, and are not n...

A complete shoulder workout for the middle deltoid, rear deltoid, and front deltoid by professional bodybuilder Wesley Vissers. Wesley Vissers demonstrates five exercises -- two for middle deltoids, two for rear deltoids, and one for front deltoids. Vissers starts with a cable stack lift, but he raises the pulley to about the level of his hips to get the cable pull vector 90 degrees from the middle deltoid fibers at the begin point and end point of each repetition. He also recommends an ankle cuff to take stress of the wrist. Next, the middle deltoid is worked an a bench set to about 40-45 degrees. Lie on your side with upper body on the up side. Bottom leg is hip flexed and knee flexed underneath. Visser recommends that the top leg is positioned back to permit more range of motion of the side dumbbell raise at the start and end positions. Posterior deltoids are worked using the horizontal hand grips. Visser moves his and position medially to get greater range of motion for each re...
