Through the fifty-three previous editions of the “USPlabs Iron Day” we have been able to provide our readers a broad array of training regimes to reflect their goals. Whether your interest lay in strength and bodybuilding pursuits, weight loss, needs of the military and law enforcement community or athletics, these training guides can serve as a tremendous blueprint towards goal achievement.

 

This effort came about due to radically improved technology that allows us to communicate with readers to which we are ability to quickly respond to their needs. With an open line of communication via Twitter, Google+ and Facebook we have been able to provide up-to-date information on efficient exercise approaches and ensure all readers

utilise USPlabs products just as I have to their utmost.

 

Tammy Bravomalo discusses her supplement stack.

 

 

This commitment to providing information has taken a tremendous leap forward with the very recent release of the USPlabs | Ultra Premium Supplements educational library which houses considerable videos on proper exercise technique and suitable for virtually every method of training. As we push forward with the USPlabs Iron Day we will be making great use of these videos and I invite you to share with your friends.

 

 

As per our original intent of the USPlabs Iron Day, each Friday we will provide a daily training program (per reader choice), with a follow up supplement protocol on Facebook. Readers would cast their vote via Twitter (through either direct message or the “@” function) or Facebook and decide the topic.

 

Our choice for this week’s comes via Twitter and is a classic routine within Bodybuilding

Shoulders and Triceps development

 

The first point that must be understood clearly is without proper preparation you will not generate your maximal force. Your favourite music, passive stretches or stroll on the treadmill is not preparation and to achieve optimal results you will properly activate the hip and trunk region. Failure to do so and you will under-perform. That is not anecdotal commentary but absolute fact.

 

The most direct route to achieving this goal, without involving costly equipment, whilst deriving other long-term benefits is a combination of my hurdle mobility program, tumbling and RED2. I believe these are daily exercises regardless of training but certainly must be performed digging into the Squat racks.

 

RED2 a series of basic lunges must be mastered, both forward and backwards.

• Forward
• Side lunge
• “Toy Soldier”

Perform each movement such that the entire RED2 section is two continuous six-minute blocks.

 

Hurdle mobility drills, #9 & #1-

 

Tumbling (over ten metres)

• Forward Roll (stay in tuck)
• Bear Crawl
• Spider Lunge

 

At this stage you are physically ready for optimal performance and now must “turn the screw” with absolute mental focus.

This is not “easy work” and requires complete commitment. Do not omit because you think bodyweight work is “easy” and perform each movement with perfect form.  Create maximal tension throughout the entire action.

 

Core / Abdominal Training

Plank
Side Plank
Horse pose
Superman
Flying Squirrel

Perform two to four sets of each with 15-30 second holds per side.

 

Step two in this plan is visit the Facebook page well in advance of starting your training day for expert advice on how to optimize your results.
