the shoulder workout that made everyone who tried it cry,including sami alhaddad[just kidding]
first exercise
go to failure with standing front shoulder presses,when you reach failure,imedietly start doing upright rows with the same weight,if you can't get full range it's ok,go to failure on those and then with the same weight start doing shrugs to failure.repeat for3to4more sets.
second and last exercise,start doing front dummbell lateral's,when you reach failure and with the same weight immedietly start doing side dummbell lateral,when you reach failure,imedietly and with the same weight start doing bent over dummbell lateral to failure.do3 sets of those,your shoulder workout is over.

they are here,in both gyms.the new equipment are fantastic,perfect smooth movement and extra heavy duty.some of them are built speachilly for us,you will not find them else where.please do come in and give them a try.

i think bent arm dumbbell pullover is a better exercise than straight arm dumbbell pullover,but if you like to do the straight arm pullover,then,here is a way of improving on that exercise.do your set of sraight arm pullover,when you reach your last rep,immedietly and with the same weight start doing bent arm pullover,you will be able to get a few more reps,you will benefit more from doing the pullover this way.

if some one asked me,what is better,to do back pulldowns to the front,or,behind the neck pulldowns,i would say,the front pulldowns are better,but i found a way to take the back pulldown movement to the next level and this is how:select a weight that allows you to perform any where from 8 to 10 reps to failure on the behind the neck pulldown,after reaching your last rep immedietly and without changing the weight,start performing front pulldowns,you should be able to squeeze at least 4more reps before reaching failure.do this for 3 sets.
i did this on my last back exercise day,and3days later my back muscle is still sore.

try this circuit training,go from one exercise to the other without rest.
1-versa climber 5 min
2-ab crunches 25 reps
3-step 10 min
4-ab knee ups,one set to failure
5-wave,side glide,10 min
6-lower back,hyper extension,one set to failure
7-cycling,10 min
8-ab sit ups,30 reps
9-lower back,hyper extension,one set to failure
once you are done,you can curse me,ha ha.

if you remove the seat of the rope climber,you will be able to use it in a diffrent manner,from a standing position,and insted of pulling the rope down,start pulling it up,this way you will have a tremandouse trap,shoulder and arm workout,back as well.

it pleases me a lot to be of help,so if any of you have questions,or need help in matters of health,diet and exercise,please don't hesitate to e.mail me or post your questions.
hope to hear from you

yesterday tariq{one of my trainers}asked me to train him biceps,i said are you ready for biceps blasting,he said yes,i said,get ready for the killer workout.
i started him with standing preacher curls,we did 3sets,and this is how we did them,he went to complete failure on each set,once we got there,i assisted him with3 assisst reps,than he did 3 reps of full negatives were i lift the weight for him and he have to fight the weight down.the second exercise was seated incline dumbell curls,3sets,i told him,do the curls both hands together,once he reached failure,i told him don't stop,move to cheat curls,but this time not to bring the arms up together,but once you end the curl with one arm to start curling with the other,he maneged another4reps this way,by the end of this exercise,he had such a pump in his biceps that he couldn't raise his arms up.for the last exercise,i told him to perform,standing hammer curls both hands together,again three sets,once he reached failure i told him to switsh imeditly to 2hand dumbell bicep curl,the reason[the forearm might fatigue before the biceps and we want to fatigue both,the forearm and the biceps]he maneged another three reps,i told him again to move imedietly to single dummbell cheat bicep curls and again he maneged another3reps,by the end of the last set,he comfessed that this was the hardest bicep workout that he have been through,and all we did was 9 sets.

i decided today to skip my cardio workout on the treadmil,i wanted to give the rope climber a seriouse try,i was tired of hearing,how hard it is and that members were avoiding it and those who tried it avereged only 5 minutes,guess what,i did 20minutes and i could have done more,my staff were watching,their jaws droped,if i could do it,then,alot of people can,all you have to do is be focused,be stuborn,control your breathing and push yourself and give it a seriouse go.

some of you must have heard of the 21 system of doing biceps curl,for those of you who don't know what it is,you start by doing7reps of curls,but you do the bottom part only,thigh to waist,then you do 7reps top part,waist to chest,then you do7full curls.some people switch things around they may start with the full curls or with the top curls.if you were one of the lucky one's who reach failure on your21st rep then good for you,but if you aren't then this is what you should do,lets throw out the 21 system and let's adopt the new7plus7plus failure,which means,you will go,for example,lower curl for7,upper curl for7,full curl for as many reps as you can,less then 7,or more,no problem,as long as you reach failure.one of my good ideas.try it and feel the pump.
