What’s up guys, got some goodies for your personal training education today. The first post I believe everyone should read. Being a personal trainer in NYC, attempting to compete in Olympic weightlifting again- despite my many injuries, being a weightlifting coach, building a start up, and so much more, I get caught up with all the little BS crap…also doesn’t help that our weather here in New York City has been sucking ass! MOVING ON 🙂 The post by [Read more…]
Forget about sit ups and crunches to get “Six Pack Abs”, planks are an extremely effective way to fire up your trunk. I can admit as a NYC personal trainer and Olympic weightlifter doing regular planks can become monotonous. Holding a plank for longer than a minute just kills me, it’s not that it’s physically [Read more…]
Being a NYC personal trainer and Olympic weightlifter, I often get questions about how I’m able to do an overhead squat or overhead press without pain.

If you’ve ever been injured and had to deal with the daily nagging pains this is a post for you. Hell, even if you’ve never been injured before you still can learn from this post to hopefully minimize your risk of injury. But inevitable a majority of the fitness population will go through some type of injury (minor or major). The type of severity is the combination of luck, smart training, and genetics.

Want glutes? Don’t do this :p Seriously hit the gym & train hard.
Squats are now the big fitness fad, it’s become so absurd that uneducated personal trainers and fitness enthusiast think that squats cure everything….apparently now a days to get strong you have to squat, to get a butt you have to squat, to be anything you NEED to squat. It’s become such a fitness fad that everyone is trying to squat, even if they aren’t [Read more…]
Keeping your knee healthy is extremely important for everyone, not just sport athletes and weightlifters. We need our knee for everyday use, especially for us New Yorkers! People in New York City average around 2+ miles of walking a day. And in-home personal trainers probably average about 5 miles :p. So if you have knee issues, it’s not easy to just “fuggedaboutit” :p
