How to Get Stronger...Quicker!

Many people have been to a #PlanetFitness before. I get it, it's cheap and easy to hop on a treadmill. Hey, they even give away free pizza as a perk. It's hard to compete with that!

But if you've been going to your Planet Fitness for a while, can you truly say you can see dramatic results in your strength? Even if you're doing more than just the treadmill the typical equipment found in a big box gym can't always help you reach your fitness goals. 

Here's a goal for you, do 5 sets of 8 of pike pushups.  Wait, you're telling me the that's too much?  Why would it be too much (rhetorical question)?  You're looking to bench press your way to a stronger self or maybe squat cars to get those tree trunk legs.  Let me tell you something, in the words of Ido Portal it's how you move bro!

Your workouts are sh*t if you eat sh*t, so take the sh*t out of your workouts.  Learn how to dance, brazilian jiu jitsu, or even parkour.  Don't push sh*t because that doesn't mean sh*t.   Excuse the sh*tty language.

Hey it's better to have a gym membership and have a basic routine than to not have any routine at all. But when people ask me how to get stronger quicker, my answer is always natural movement (preferably learning with my teach Roye Gold)!  With #naturalmovement workouts in Chicago, you're working with your own body weight and getting those tendons stronger faster to avoid pain in simple everyday movements.

You could start your new routine here at Ihatebigboxgyms.com.  Sorry they don't offer pizza, only strong results.
