Have you heard of those DETOX Teas? Has anyone tried to sell you one of those? Ask them if it could replace your liver because its job is to actually detox your body!
Your liver has a lot of responsibility such as helping detox your body of harmful chemicals that your body makes. Take care of it by limiting alcohol consumption, eating sufficient fruits, veggies, and protein, getting regular exercise, limiting acetaminophen, and even drinking coffee!
If it can replace the liver that's awesome, but I don't think they will lie to you.

Break it down than build it back up stronger than ever! Enough said?
If your struggling to build muscle have you tried adjusting your diet? Eating out a lot will not give you enough protein. I recommend a range of protein from 1.7g/kg and up!
How much protein do you eat?
Everyone starts at the beginning. Here we have a youth athlete learning how to front squat 👍

Core is great to work on separately from your main workout. You don't necessarily need to though, Core is stressed during our main exercises such as doing squats and dead lifts especially when you hold a dumbbell in one hand.
This is a lift that I do with my baseball players that may convert to better explosive change of direction when sprinting.
Don’t have a leg curl machine? NO Problem! Just grab a band and a partner. Really focus on the eccentric by pulling down on the band. The concentric contraction will most likely not be the toughest.

A lot of individuals have diet questions especially when they want to start getting in shape. They ask me what should I eat...
-
You can get extremely lost with that general question.
-
The first thing I focus on is protein! I base the whole diet around protein. You can never have too much protein. The RDI recommends .8g/kg which is so low for anyone who wants to build muscle. -
I recommended around 1.4 g/kg to 2.2 g/kg
-
Why?
1. We want to encourage Anabolism which is the building of proteins from what we broke down during our workout.
2. We want a high nitrogen balance.
-
If we don’t eat enough protein we will not build those muscles back up from what we broke down.

Over head athletes this exercise is for you! The Bosu is a great tool for creating stable surfaces unstable! So I am using it for a chest exercise specifically pushups to create that unstable surface.
1. This unstable surface creates work for the shoulder to be stable while doing the exercise.
2. Muscles used in stabilizing the the shoulder are the infra/Supraspinatus, Subscapularis, and the Teres Major which is the rotator Cuff.
3. The core is also engaged because it needs to be kept from rotating from the elevated surface and the instability.
4. I tried increasing resistance on the lateral side of my arm by putting a band around my two arms. This did not seem to make a difference in difficulty.

We’re building fundamental base strength by starting with higher reps and increasing the volume as we go. 👌👍
