Here is a video that has been posted on the site before but I am checking out a new format for videos. This will be available in the podcast section of the itunes music store as well.

Pull-Up Tips

I usually don’t blog on the weekends but I wanted you guys to have this. I asked Keith Scott about what I could do to do more pull ups and how he would tweak this program.

This is what he said:

Like anything, the more you do something, the better you will be at doing it.

Doing good pull ups are much more than just doing pull ups. Most people don’t have the core strength to stay still for the reps (body moves too much in the air) so just by controlling that aspect, reps will increase by a lot. I also like to work a lot of different grips with the pull ups to work forearm strength (which is another problem for people as the reps increase), and they will work the muscle groups better

Here is what I do for this very thing:

-Core work: Hanging knee ups – 4 X 12 (knees all the way up) slow reps, under control

Progression – Hanging V ups – 3-4 times a week

-Mixed Grip Pull ups – one hand pronated, one supinated – 2 X 5 – twice a week

-Wide grip Pull ups – 2 X Max – twice a week

-Narrow Grip Chins – 2 X max – twice a week

-Neutral Grip pull ups – 2 X max – twice a week

Mix these into the progressions they give if you want. Maybe do them at the beginning and at the end of the week.

I hope this helps you with your journey to win the pull up contest.

No Gym, No Problem – New Featured Area

No Gym, No Problem is another new area to the Naked Nutrition Network. This area will be headed up by a great trainer (and friend) – Tom Gifford. The focus of the No Gym, No Problem section is to give you options for fat loss, fitness, and metabolic training that are not limited to just being in a gym. These workouts will involve your bodyweight, kettlebells, bands, and all kinds of great stuff. I wanted to add this area to the site because I love this type of training. It is a great break from the normal “head to the gym to workout” mentality and it is just plain fun. Look for Tom’s first article in the upcoming week.

#1 On My Christmas List

A couple weeks ago in an email exchange with Tom Venuto, Tom mentioned to me that he was writing a book – not another ebook, a mainstream book. I was pretty psyched.

There are so many diet books out there (I recently saw “the poop diet” – seriously) that are crap. It is really good to see someone with the knowledge and credibility of Tom getting his message out there to the masses (not that his message already isn’t out there as his site BurntheFat.com gets ~80,000 visitors each month).

Tom’s new book The Body Fat Solution comes out Jan 8th. It is number 1 on my Christmas list. I’m sure I’ll be talking about his book more in the future. Put it on you list. When it comes to fat loss Tom is definitely one of those guys that you want to listen to.

Do yourself a favor, If you don’t have Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle pick it up ASAP – here.

Here is the press release regarding The Body Fat Solution

Re: pre-release announcement

For Immediate Release. October 23rd, 2008

New Hardcover Book By Tom Venuto Reveals the 5 Principles for
Burning Fat, Building Lean Muscles, Ending Emotional Eating and
Maintaining Your Perfect Weight.

http://www.BodyFatSolution.com

By now, we all know that we gain fat when we take in more calories
than we burn. But we’re not always rational creatures when it comes
to food and exercise. Recognizing the emotional and psychological
factors that sabotage success, Tom Venuto’s new Book, The Body Fat Solution
(Avery/Penguin Group) hones in on the real causes of body-fat and
provides a sound plan to take back control of our bodies and end
emotional eating for good.

In The Body Fat Solution, Venuto outlines the five principles that
will retrain your mind and body for automatic success. Determined
to help you keep the fat off for good, Tom shows you how to:

- End emotional eating and stop diet self sabotage
- change your vision through manageable goals for
indomitable confidence
- eat healthy, delicious food almost unconsciously and
shed the pounds effortlessly
- reshape your body through lean muscle training for a strong
core and toned frame
- invite a supportive social network of friends, family, and
mentors to help you achieve your dream for life

Venuto reminds us that calories do count! But The Body Fat Solution
is neither super low carb nor super low fat, and he steers clear of
demonizing entire food groups. Instead, Venuto helps you personalize
an eating plan that takes into account your unique metabolism and
calorie needs. He then presents illustrated workout programs to
maximize the success of the diet plan that are fast and efficient.

Most important, he helps you plan and organize your life so that
you can fully implement your new goals and monitor your progress,
and finally maintain your perfect weight for life.

Tapping into his years of training expertise and personal experience,
Venuto helps readers change their relationship with food, empowers
them to take charge of their lives, and delivers a program that
promises dramatic and permanent results.
