TIP OF THE DAY: Pyramid workouts. I love pyramid workouts – building up then gradually returning back down. I’ve created “pyramid” type workouts with reps or sets, but today experimented with weight. For instance, with lat pull downs move through the sets using weight such as 5lbs, 10lbs, 15lbs, 10lbs, 5lbs with a short break in between each set (obviously those numbers are ridiculously low, but just used to demonstrate the point). It’s a great way to advance with weight as well as ensure deep muscle stimulation. Because these 5 sets are very intense, I stuck to 4 basic lifts.

Lat pull downs – I have a love hate relationship with this movement; some days I feel it better than others; the trick for me is to start with a lighter weight to feel the movement then work my way up gradually, such as through the pyramid style!

Daily Dose of Motivation: What a wonderful reminder. There is a fine line between confidence and cockiness, but in a world that loves to see people fail, always remember to keep you chin up. It’s okay and completely normal to go through difficult times and to feel down, but remember to keep your head held high – there is always something to smile about!
