Garbage Volume

What is Garbage Volume? Understanding garbage volume There has been much debate about what garbage volume is. Often beginner lifters easily obtain “newbie” gains, without much volume or effort. This is often followed by a “more is better” thought process. People who have only been training for a year or less will hit a wall in progress, whether in body composition change or strength, and will increase volume and see success. Then some preliminary research will show them to increase muscle the classic 20-25 sets per muscle group, or to increase strength by more sets required. Then more progress is seen. Which reinforces the “more is better” ....

Why You Should Hire a Coach

Why should you hire a coach? Role of a coach What is the main function of a coach/trainer? Is it creating accountability? Source of motivation? Workout organizer? Being a your babysitter? These are all pieces of a coach. A coach should extract accountability and motivation out of a client. A coach should be able to organize a workout, for the individual and the facility they have access to. While “babysitting” might not be the best terminology, there is a component of keeping a client on pace for the workout and checking in on key aspects that will make a program a success. But what separates a coach from a great coach? There are multiple components. I have ....

What is Functional Nutrition & Why is it Helpful?

What is Functional Nutrition & Why is it Helpful? What is Functional Nutrition? Functional nutrition takes the viewpoint that the human body operates as one unit. The “parts” don’t work individually, rather the parts influence each other and as a whole. The parts would be the different organs and communication systems. The communication systems being the nervous, immune, and hormone systems. The organ systems being the liver, kidney, GI, brain, etc. All the parts are receiving and sending out information. Functional nutrition is the understanding that through food, lifestyle, and supplemental support, the function of the whole can be improved and/or ....

Benefits of Using Tempo in Training

Benefits of Using Tempo in Training Defining Tempo Even though tempo is discussed in some literature, it is not widely discussed in certification or academic learning. In the various certifications I have earned, NFPT, NASM, NCSF, USAWLI, etc. NASM is the only one that has even a brief discussion on tempo. With that it discusses 3 digit tempo, illuminating the 4th which would be the hold at the top. During my Master of Science learning, tempo was not part of the curriculum. I did inject it into some of my papers, however. For anyone looking to upgrade their training, tempo could be the key piece. Tempo is the duration of a single repetition. In every lift there is an ....

I started working with Justin to resolve an elbow issue I had for months with no sign of healing. Within just a few sessions Justin proved to be knowledgeable in all aspects of fitness, making my elbow issue completely disappear and assessing several aspects of how I move/train that have lead to many injuries I have had over the years. I have more confidence in the exercises I do now because Justin has shown me how to do them both properly in a way that ensures both strength and longevity. I held off ever working with a trainer because of a lack of confidence in what I have seen some do, but I'm glad I started to work with Justin and I look forward to what he can help me improve!

Justin was a pivotal piece in my son's baseball recruiting journey senior year. In a short window we saw great increases in strength, speed, & explosiveness. Justin, is an intense trainer and pushes to get everything he can out of an athlete. His focus on proper mechanics in exercises really helps with preventing injury and was the reason we hired Justin to train. The foundation that our son's journey has veen built on is solid as a rock and for that we will be forever grateful. If you want knowledge backed by results, Justin is your guy.
