MEN:

In this episode of Boot Camp FX television you're going to see some great exercises to build your arms, shoulders, chest, back and abs.

Exercise Description and Sample Workout Below:

The first exercise sequence you'll see is the front lever pull up super set.

Extend your legs and hips straight up and out as high as possible and pull yourself up toward the bar.

Repeat until you reach momentary muscle failure. Immediately begin pull ups with a knee lift after the front lever pulls. Go to momentary muscle failure.

The next exercise in this super set is the static "L" pull up. Pull yourself up as high as possible while keeping your body in the "L" shape.

The final exercise in the front lever super set is the static pull up with knee lift. Stay as high as possible in the up position and pull your knees up and toward your chest. Repeat to momentary muscle failure.

This will be an advanced circuit for many people. Do your best and strive to improve in some way, everyday.

The next exercise is the static pike.

Lift yourself off the ground or floor by pressing your shoulders toward the ground and keeping your head and chest high. Hold to momentary muscle failure.

The final exercise is the Hindu push up (and 1/2).

Begin by elevating your legs and performing a Hindu push up with your hips high and "swoop" your chest down toward the ground.

In this video you'll see 3 weird pull up exercises to develop muscular strength, coordination, core strength, and stamina.

Many people mistakenly believe that you need to go to the gym to get in great shape. However, the ability to move and control your own body weight should be a prerequisite before integrating machines, dumbbells, barbells or other devices into your fitness program.

The first of the three pull ups exercises you'll see in this video is the typewriter.

This exercise is very challenging for most people. Pull yourself up toward one hand and maneuver over toward the other side of the bar while keeping your head as high as possible. Descend and repeat.

Some people choose to do this with straight legs. Others prefer to bend the knees or even slightly extend out. Beginners can do this from a low bar with feet on the ground.

The next pull up variation is the combat pull up. Raise your legs up to the bar and either rest the soles of your feet on the bar support (hard) or hook your feet over the bar. Pull your torso up as high as possible then repeat until you reach momentary muscle failure.

The next pull up variation is the jumping pull up with lateral leg raise. Curtis Ludlow performing a jumping pull up with a lateral leg raise for Boot Camp FX TelevisionThis should be easiest of the three exercises because, when done properly, you can take advantage of the momentum built from your jump and initiate your leg raise simultaneously.

Bonus exercise: Sprints! Always a top conditioning exercise.

Sample Workout:

Exercise #1 - Typewriter pull ups: Perform as many reps as possible then immediately begin combat pulls (exercise #2).

Exercise #2 - Combat Pull: Perform as many reps as possible

Exercise #3 - Sprint 100 meters.

Exercise #4 - Jumping pull ups with Lateral Leg Raise: Perform as many reps as possible (up to 10).

Repeat this circuit 10 times and record your time to completion.

You may remember that a few months ago I flew out to Connecticut to help out my buddy Ryan Lee with a seminar he put on.



7 years ago Ryan was a high school gym teacher in the toughest part of the Bronx - working hard for his money.

Well, he learned how to turn his love of fitness into a multi-million dollar online business and now he focuses entirely on teaching other passionate people how to build their businesses.

Anyway, this was his first big live event and he had some really big name speakers there.

One of the most interesting and dynamic speakers was a guy named Jerry Clark.

Jerry found a way to make money that enabled him to RETIRE at the tender age of 23.

Well, Ryan pulled Jerry up on stage and asked him to talk for a minute about the components of success.

His talk was so good, I wanted YOU to hear it too :) so I asked Jerry to condense his talk on the 3 primary components of success.

THE VIDEO ON THIS PAGE IS THAT TALK.

Anyway, when Jerry gave the talk ON STAGE he also showed everyone how they can make $2,000 in 2 minutes.

You can watch THAT video HERE==> http://ContinuitySummit.Net

 

Just as I was, You too will be blown away by Jerry's presentation.

Denny's Meals, With Several Days' Worth of Salt, Promote Heart Disease, Stroke, Risk of Early Death

WASHINGTON--Most Denny's meals are dangerously high in sodium, putting the restaurant chain's customers at greater risk of high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke, according to a class action lawsuit filed today by a New Jersey man with the support of the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

The lawsuit was filed in Superior Court of New Jersey in Middlesex County, and seeks to compel Denny's to disclose on menus the amount of sodium in each of its meals and to place a notice on its menus warning about high sodium levels. CSPI is working with the New Jersey firms of Galex Wolf, LLC and Williams Cuker Berezofsky.

Most Americans should consume no more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But at Denny's, the great majority of its meals contain more, and in some cases, several times more. Some meals at Denny's provide more than 4,000 or 5,000 mg of sodium--more than most adults should consume in three days. Diets high in sodium are a major cause of high blood pressure, which in turn is a major cause of heart disease and stroke, the first- and third-leading causes of death in the United States.

A Spicy Buffalo Chicken Melt with regular fries would have 4,120 mg of sodium; with seasoned fries instead (shown) it has 4,880 mg. Start off this meal with clam chowder and it would have 6,700 mg of sodium.

"Denny's is slowly sickening its customers," said CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson. "For those Americans who should be most careful about limiting their sodium, such as people middle-aged and older, African-Americans, or people with existing high blood pressure, it's dangerous to eat at Denny's. Denny's customers deserve to be warned about the considerable health risk posed by many of these meals."

The plaintiff, Nick DeBenedetto, is a 48-year-old resident of Tinton Falls, NJ, who has eaten for many years at Denny's restaurants in East Brunswick and Brick, NJ. DeBenedetto takes a prescription medication to control his high blood pressure and at home does not cook with salt or use the salt shaker. Some of his favorite Denny's items, such as Moons Over My Hammy or the Super Bird turkey sandwich, contain far more than 1,500 mg of sodium--even without soup, salad, fried onion rings, or other side dishes.

"I was astonished--I mean, literally floored--to find that these simple sandwiches have more salt than someone in my condition should have in a whole day," DeBenedetto said. "It's as if Denny's is stacking the deck against people like me. I never would have selected those items had I known."

Moons Over My Hammy, a ham, egg, and cheese sandwich, has 2,580 mg of sodium by itself--more than even a healthy young person should consume in a day. It's served with hash browns (adding 650 mg of sodium) or grits (an additional 840 mg).

The Super Bird sandwich, served with regular French fries, has 2,610 mg of sodium--more than twice what someone with high blood pressure should consume in a day.

Denny's Meat Lover's Scramble, which has two eggs with chopped bacon, diced ham, crumbled sausage, Cheddar cheese, plus two bacon strips, two sausage links, hash browns, and two pancakes has 5,690 mg sodium, or 379% of the advised daily limit.

A full meal at Denny's consisting of a bowl of clam chowder, a Spicy Buffalo Chicken Melt, and a side of seasoned fries contains an alarmingly high 6,700 mg of sodium. It's a big meal, to be sure, with about 1,700 calories. But that's more sodium than what 70 percent of Americans should consume in four and a half days.

Even many of the smaller meals advertised for children and seniors have inappropriately high sodium levels.

Many health experts consider high dietary sodium levels to be one of the nation's top health threats. Dr. Stephen Havas, adjunct professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, says that reducing the sodium content of packaged and restaurant foods by half would save at least 150,000 lives per year.

For some people, particularly Denny's elderly patrons, getting several days' worth of sodium in a single meal might be enough to trigger congestive heart failure.

"As a physician, I have grave concerns about the sodium levels at Denny's, and grave concerns about an elderly person or someone with hypertension eating even one such meal," Havas said. "The body can have a hard time getting rid of that much salt, potentially leading to fluid retention and accumulation in the lungs. Consuming that much sodium can have severe consequences."

Denny's describes itself as the largest full-service family restaurant in the United States, with more than 1,500 restaurants and annual sales of $2.4 billion.

"By concealing an important material fact about its products--namely, that that these foods have disease-promoting levels of sodium--Denny's is failing its responsibility to its customers and is in violation of the laws of New Jersey and several other states," said CSPI litigation director Steve Gardner.

Denny's and CSPI had been in private negotiations over sodium, but those talks ended earlier this year. Shortly thereafter, the chain made small sodium reductions in a handful of items, like cheese sauce, shrimp skewers and kids' meals, but the chain did not make the kind of broad sodium reductions or menu disclosures urged by CSPI.

CSPI's litigation department has, since its founding in 2004, sued a number of leading national food companies and has secured agreements improving food labeling, marketing, or product formulation with Anheuser Busch, Frito-Lay, Kellogg, KFC, Kraft, Sara Lee and other companies. CSPI's litigation activities helped spur the removal of artificial trans fat from restaurant food and helped return millions of dollars to consumers from makers of the dietary supplement Airborne.

The lawsuit filed today against Denny's is CSPI's first sodium-related lawsuit against a food company. Separately, CSPI has petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to regulate salt as a food additive and to restrict sodium levels in various categories of food.
