WORKOUTS & MUSIC 1


One of my KEY components to working out is my music selection and so I'm curious as to what other people listen to for that heart rate and adrenaline to go up. Studies have shown that people have more energy and better workouts when they tune out the world and start jamming to their fave artists. So I picked my brother, a future physique competitor, personal trainer, Derek a.k.a. D RocK and asked him what his favorite tracks were when hes working out and going for that PR on bench press. He prefers old school high tempo tracks that make you nod your head and put you in the zone. So I give you his top ten

10. Big Daddy Kane - Set It Off
9. Snoop Dogg - Pump Pump
8. Rakim - Follow The Leader
7. Rakim - Juice
6. Rakim - Dont Sweat The Technique
5. NWA - Appetite For Destruction
4. Big Daddy Kane - Nuff Respect Due
3. Connie - Rock Me
2. Kraftwerk - Tour De France
1. Paul Hartcastle - Rainforest
And he said for corny measures put Joe Budden - Pump it Up in the Mix
Thats His top ten right there. SOme make you wanna pop and lock while you're doing your sets though. HAHA. Check em out and add them to your play list!!!!!

Muscle Up tips and Exercises

I stopped from curiosity and asked the dude what he was doing and from then on I did research, you tubed and experimented with reckless abandon... haha. I practiced non stop (even injuring myself real bad in the elbow) and tinkered with exercises that would compliment my progress in this cool move. It wasnt long after that I could do them on command but it definitely took a lot of go's! Perseverance friends. Dont Quit. So here goes. 1. Weighted Pull ups and Dips- First off the muscle up IS essentially both or a combo of, so you have to be comfortable in doing the two said exercises already. Weighted pull-ups and dips will strengthen and help you with the explosion (speed + strength) that you need to get over the bar. 2. Reverse Grip curls- I LOVE these and definitely co-sign on how much th...
