Revamped Website Much Quicker, New Product Launch, Matt in Competition

Hi all,

REVAMPED SITE

Thank you for all of your visits to the revamped www.GymProfessor.com site. Unfortunately, it caused the site to slow up too much, therefore, we've swapped the server over this weekend, so it's now working much quicker (& should be better again come Monday). With over 100 hundred workouts, 300 exercises, and 100's of articles, be sure to check it out :)

NEW PRODUCT

Ah, so this is what a Patent looks like (see below)... 

An evolution in weight training is on it's way!

Does it ever strike you that there are no really "interesting" new fitness products on the market these days? We've noticed too and it's exactly why we've been busy inventing in the Gym Professor lab (gym!). An “evolution in weight training” is on its way. Being a newsletter subscriber, you'll be one of the first to find out about it :)

Workout Tips – AbSolution and Biceps Bomber

Hi all,

Today, I’ve been spending time working my way through adding text to some of the exercise demonstrations. I like to try different workout techniques and exercise combinations all of the time & frequently put some of my more popular combinations into practice, therefore, I’ve been adding some of these Advanced Training Methods into my exercise demonstration comments. Here are just a couple of examples...

1. AbSolution. Rather than perform hundreds of Sit-Ups at home to reach failure, give my home abs workout a try instead...Tri-Set of Lying Hip Flexion, Sit-Ups, V-Sit-Ups. Aim for 20 repetitions of each. 
2. Biceps Bomber. Here's a great superset for you... Bent-Over EZ Bar Curls and EZ Bar Curls. Don't use too much weight & do not swing the weight up - that's cheating!

With over 300 exercise demonstrations to work through, I’ve managed to comment on Abs & Obliques and Biceps exercises thus far (I’m doing them alphabetically). Be sure to check them out & give them a go. Remember, many more of these advanced training methods are featured within our bestselling book Gym Workouts: Maps to Success and also on our free-to-download GP Shuffle workout app.

With the mention of GP Shuffle, remember also that some of our athletes have been posting their GP Shuffle workouts, including weights lifted, on Facebook. Some of them are on our own Facebook wall. We’ll add some of these to the Gym Professor Free Gym Workout Database soon. Here are a couple of examples...

Be sure to visit the Gym Professor website (www.gymprofessor.com) regularly, as we have new workouts and tips being added almost daily.

All the best,

GP

Workouts and more...

Hi guys & gals,

Sorry that I’ve been a little less frequent with my mails, we’ve been very busy working behind the scenes and on future project ideas ;) .

First up, those of you that follow our social sites (Facebook and Twitter) will note that our online Exercise Demonstration catalog is nearing completion. So, if you’re unsure how to perform an exercise, or just want some ideas to spice up your gym workouts, be sure to visit our exercise database here:

Exercise Demonstrations

We’ll update you again when the database is complete.

Facebook and Twitter fans may’ve also seen friends socialize their GP Shuffle workouts. Posting workouts from the GP Shuffle app works adequately at present, but we hope to improve on how it integrates with Facebook and Twitter apps on a future update. We’ll be sharing some of our own GP Shuffle workouts on our Facebook fan page too. To keep up-to-date, please visit: 

GymProfessor.com Fan Page

Other insightful information will include dietary habits and supplements used by some of those featured. 

Even if you’re not a member of Facebook, you can still view the majority of information that we’ll be posting at the link provided, as it’s a public page :). We will also include some of the highlights within our newsletters.

Another project I’m quite excited about, later this year, we hope to bring you a new insightful gym workout book, including new workouts, exercise demonstrations, training articles etc. I won’t give away too much detail thus far, however, we hope on releasing an eBook version of the book for FREE and also a paperback, with royalties of the paperback being donated to a worthwhile cause.

There’s more projects in the pipeline too, but we can only do one thing at a time :) .

Remember, all of these projects are possible thanks to your support. Please help us to continue to grow by sharing our resources with your friends and family.

All the best,

GP

P.S. On a side-note, I have set-up a blog on behalf of my Dad. A keen historian (specialist subject WWI), my Dad will be posting some of his thoughts and some of the articles he has had published. I find his first post very poignant. Please visit his blog, or sign-up to his newsletter, here: http://armisticeday.blogspot.com

Cardio Combination Workouts

Hi all,

I love weight training (& I mean love it!), so regular visits to the gym for weight training workouts is by no mean a chore for me, however, with bad weather setting in, my bike's been hung up and my off-road trainers are put away, which has meant more cardio time in the gym :(.

Generally, if there's something good on TV (like a documentary on Route 66 yesterday), then I can tune out and happily finish a workout before I know it. Other days though, it's a real chore. On such days, I'm drawn to mix things up a bit (not too dissimilar to what I'd do with a weights workout) in order to alleviate the monotony and share stress around the body. One such method is cardio combination workouts. In essence, having shorter cardio workouts on various machines. I'm sure many of you reading this have done similar before. Below are some recent examples that I've either performed myself or with clients. You can make these harder or easier as you see fit simply by using the manual controls on your selected piece of cardio gym equipment.

Remember, your only limitation with workout thinking is yourself, but, with both cardio workouts and weight training workouts, be mindful of your ability amongst other factors. The following article will help in this respect: Cardio Workout Considerations and Options

So, here are some sample cardio workouts for you...

Cardio Combination Gym Workouts:
Workout 1: Treadmill - Cross Trainer - Bike
Workout 2: Cross Trainer - Treadmill
Workout 3: Rower - Bike - Cross Trainer

Enjoy your training!

Gym Workouts and Gym Routines

I (Gym P) have added categories below for various gym workouts and gym routines that may be of interest. These are sample gym routines and gym workouts only. Your weight training should follow a gradual progression (as your planned season allows), with sensible transitions from one gym routine to another. I will cover more on periodization of weight training and training transitions amongst other articles on this website and will (in time) release an eBook detailing sensible process maps (gym workouts & gym routines) to follow with your training. However, in the meantime, DO NOT RUN BEFORE YOU CAN WALK! I say this because many newbies will adopt gym workout routines that are far beyond them and will therefore make little gains and increase their risk of injury.
