Calling All Outdoors Adventurers

October 20, 2016

The time has never been more appropriate. Bad things are happening all around the world and the infrastructure is very fragile. For preppers, realists, adventurers and any outdoors lover, we have a solution. Please support our new South African business The Survivalist.

It is a fully comprehensive and interactive online store selling survival tools, all in one bug out bags, survival packs, long term food rat packs, camping meals, emergency packs, first aid kits and more for surviving emergency situations and extreme adventures.

We have teamed up with some of the leading suppliers in these fields to offer as wide a range as possible.

We have a range of lightweight, dehydrated gourmet meals. No cooking required – just add water and eat.

Typically us South Africans are a pretty apathetic bunch and either think it won’t happen to us, or we are tough and can handle it. When the shirt hits the fan, we will be caught short unless we all have plans, systems and essentials in place.

Apart from the preppers and those afraid of what the future may hold, any extreme sportsperson, adventurer or adrenalin junkie will find something useful in our webstore.

Please take a look at either http://www.thesurvivalist.co.za or http://thesurvivalist.co.za

 

Train Smart With Power Factor

April 4, 2012
First I must apologise for not posting for a while. Although I promised to get back in the saddle and post more regularly, I just haven't been able to do so.

I was explaining to a student in the gym a few days ago, about the importance of keeping records and upping the training sessions. In contacting him, I borrowed a relevant article from one of the pioneers of modern training sessions and I'd like to share that with you.

Now about training With precision. First you need to understand what we...

Some Tips to Help Build Biceps

October 10, 2011
Most guys want hard abs and large guns. These are the 2 muscles that are most popular. I’m often approached by people wanting to build up their biceps quickly.

The first trap to avoid is to know there are a lot of time-wasting, low intensity exercises that trainers recommend to build biceps. We have tested all of the common ones and know which ones deliver the highest intensity of overload. Avoid the others.



The number one and two highest-intensity exercises to build biceps are undoubtedly th...

Fitness Training Can Be A Hectic Lifestyle

August 23, 2011
Hectic! Hectic! My life has been hectic lately. Sorry I haven't posted for a while, but I have been taking strain!

I was managing a gym full time, either 5am to 3pm one week, or 9am to 7pm the next week. On top of this, I was leading a martial arts class in my afternoons off, running a boot-camp in the evenings and then still running my own Personal Training advisory business whenever I could fit it in. I was running this routine 362 days of the year and had no opportunity to take leave. The f...

Static Contraction Or Power Factor - Which Is Best

June 21, 2011
For the last ten years I've been talking to people exclusively about Static Contraction training. I'd forgotten that one of the most common questions I used to hear was: "Which one is better, Static Contraction or Power Factor?"

The answer to this question depends on what you mean by "best". I sometimes ask the questioner, "Which is better, a Corvette or a pickup truck?" If you want to get somewhere quickly, then the Corvette is better, but if you want to get a load of timber over a bad road, ...

How To Lift Double In Your One-Rep Max

The founder of Static Contraction Training, Pete Frisco gives the following advice on the subject. .

Strength training suffers from a lack of creativity and innovation. Its stale! That’s why people toil away in gyms doing saturation workouts of multiple sets and reps of dozens of exercises that are ...

January 17, 2011
This information is aimed at helping you to reduce your fat intake.  The average individual eats too much fat, a factor that's linked to a variety of health problems, including cancer.

Diets that are high in fat are associated with breast and colon cancer, with some studies linking high fat to prostate cancer as well.

A majority of people can bring their fat intakes down to a healthy range, by making a few adjustments in the way they shop, cook, and prepare the foods they eat.

How to Set a Personal Record in Any Exercise

November 23, 2010
Personal progress provides its own motivation. Few things in the gym provide more positive feedback and personal motivation than setting a personal record on a favorite exercise.

That's why you see so many guys with T-shirts proudly proclaiming things like "Bench Press 300 lbs" usually accompanied by a caricature of a huge guy hoisting a seriously bent barbell. While most of us prefer to be more introverted about our achievements, we all feel the glow of satisfaction in being able to improve ...

Tips for Effective Back Muscles Training

November 10, 2010
Tips for Effective Back Training

Don't you think it strange that the professional bodybuilders, weightlifters and trainers always seem to ignore the back? When did you hear of them doing back training?

We hear of core muscles, legs, arms, chest, abs etc, but nobody pays much attention to the back! I find this strange and very under-rated.

For one thing, the lower back muscles are the antagonistic muscles to the abdominal muscles and keep that area of the torso in proper balance. The internet an...

How To Improve Your Workouts

October 3, 2010
How does one improve their workout? This is a very common, basic question. Well, do you believe that your workouts represent the pinnacle of mankind’s achievement on the subject of strength training? Do you believe that your training can never be improved?

I'm asking this in all sincerity, because for many years I’ve noticed that I battle against something I call Cogniostasis. Don’t bother searching for that word in the dictionary - I made it up.

You might be familiar with the word homeos...

New Study Claims To Disprove Static Contraction Training

September 8, 2010
If you have followed my blog lately, you'll know how I love Static Contraction and how impressed I am with the principles and the new philosophy of weight training. I use it and I teach it. Thank you Pete Sisco! However, there are always skeptics and people who just cannot accept that maybe, just maybe, their beliefs are wrong.

Every few months some or other "medical study" reveals some aspect of strength training, that they believe disproves the fundamental principles behind static contractio...

Static Contraction Exercises And Some Ways To Cheat

August 22, 2010
If you have only just heard about Static Contraction Training (SCT) you might want to try a few of the exercises at your gym, just to satisfy yourself that there really is a difference. I'm really impressed!

The basics of SCT are to:
a) limit the range of motion to only your strongest and safest range
b) for just 5 seconds lift the heaviest weight you can within that range

The exercises themselves are common ones that you likely already do using your full, weakest range of motion. They can all ...

Excess Abdominal Fat Is More Deadly Than You Realize

July 26, 2010
Listen up, this is important. I saw an article recently, by Mike Geary, the founder of TruthAboutAbs.  I thought this was an important topic to share with you, because the reality is that most people simply don't realize how dangerous their excess abdominal fat really is to their health.

The hidden dangers of your excess abdominal fat is far more serious than just being a vanity issue!

Did you know that the vast majority of people in this day and age have excess abdominal fat? The first thing t...

Mountain biking has become a very popular sport over the last few years.

Rational Abs Training

July 8, 2010
Abs training is as simple and comprehensible as biceps training yet, for some reason, more misleading garbage has been written on training this bodypart than any other.

You must have seen dozens of fitness articles that allegedly tell guys how to develop their abs. I'm sure you've seen the images of a guy holding a broom handle, or a light barbell over his shoulders and twisting his torso from left to right as a means to lose his love handles. It's a total waste of time! Or even worse, a guy h...

I often write about training techniques, fitness programs, bodybuilding and weightlifting, but I'm just as interested in helping overweight people.

These are folks who are naturally suspicious and skeptical, but I think any of them can accomplish good results with these simople tips.

Weightlifting Injury Statistics

June 21, 2010
I really enjoy Pete Sisco's Static Contraction philosophy and I keep reading his reports and articles because they make so much sense. I have introduced a few of his ideas into my training techniques, with very good results. While looking through his information, I was shocked to find these injury statistics and wanted to share them with you. It clearly shows that free weights are more dangerous!

A recent study, using data from the U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission, shows that more people...

What Is Static Contraction Training?

June 14, 2010
This article will provide you with what I think is fascinating information of how to get more out of your fitness strength training, with less total effort.

It does not involve “something for nothing” claims about how you can lift cute, pink dumbbells and transform your body. People and magazines who tell you that you can, are lying to you, plain and simple.

Static Contraction, developed by Pete Sisco, is about lifting a heavy weight for a very brief time (5 seconds), to stimulate your mus...

About Nutritional Bodybuilding Supplements

February 14, 2010
In body building, a lot of hard work is required, since a great physique is not achieved in just one, or two days. For this reason, people should eat often, to replace whatever energy is lost during strenuous workouts, but some people are not aware of the proper eating routines. That is why, no matter how much they want to achieve a perfect body, they just do not seem to get good results. 

Take for instance, that you skip breakfast altogether and then eat a heavy supper. This is not a good id...
