People are always asking me…..what workouts do you do? Well, that is always a hard question for me to answer because my workouts are always evolving and changing depending on where I am at in either my contest prep or my offseason training. One thing I can say, is that no matter what workout I am doing it is always “tempo” oriented, with three to five second eccentric movements designed to keep as much stress on the muscle as possible at all times. By doing so there is never any time during a lift where the muscle is relaxed.

The eccentric movement is basically the part of the lift where you are not contracting the muscle. For example, on a bench movement it is not the “push” portion of the lift, because that part of the lift is always done as explosive as possible. It is the “down” portion of the lift, so when bringing the bar to your chest, meaning. That takes me three to five seconds on every rep. I even do this on squats, so it takes me five seconds to get to the bottom, as by doing so the muscle fibers are fully engaged.

I started this type of training roughly three years ago. After about 15 years of training old school and in the last three years I have won my Pro Card, won a Pro show and placed fifth twice at the NGA Natural Universe. What I’m saying is this type of training works.

The following is the entire week training of what I am doing right now and will I will continue to do this for a four or fice week period before I changed it up. This should serve to give you an idea of the type training that I do. On a side note – I am never in the gym for more than 52 minutes!

This workout that I am about to share can be completed in that amount of time or less. Everything I do is based on continuous movement as well, so most of my workouts flow from one exercise to another. Usually this is performed by going through two body parts at a time and three or four different exercises, which equals one set.

Remember to use the eccentric movement with tempo, so three to five seconds on down count every time. Hopefully this will give you an idea of what my training is like week in and week out. Even at 43 years old, I am getting stronger and bigger everyday.
