Physique Frontier Episode 12: with Jay Scott and Representing the Little Big Guy

By on

Episode 12 of the Physique Frontier podcast with guest expert Jay Scott could be one of my all time favorite discussions.

Jay Scott of Full Disclosure FitnessJay and I are alike in many ways. We’re close to the same height, same weight, same stature…

…but the prick was blessed with great calves, so I can’t praise him too much 😉

Seriously though, I always enjoy talking with Jay because he’s a lightweight like me. We’ve shared many of the same emotional struggles and celebrated similar triumphs.

In an industry where it’s the HUGE BEASTS who steal the spotlight, it can be a challenge for us lightweights to discover role models who represent a realistic view of your personal muscular and physique potential. about Physique Frontier Episode 12: with Jay Scott and Representing the Little Big Guy

Welcome to another addition of the Physique Frontier podcast with guest expert Rob King, owner of Heavyweights Training Center in Mt. Pearl Newfoundland.

Rob is the epitome of what it means to truly embrace the joy of lifting IRON. He’s competed in bodybuilding, powerlifting and weightlifting.

Not only is he an amazing student of the IRON game… but he’s one hell of a coach who’s been receiving some well deserved recognition for his hard work, dedication… and most important… sharing his passion.

It’s been fascinating to see a trend where men and women are competing in both bodybuilding and powerlifting… and I really appreciated the opportunity to speak with Rob… and pick his brain about the synergy between powerlifting and bodybuilding.

He’s 51 and Shredded…

By on

I’ve been training with Rick for the past three years. His initial goal was to be in the best shape of his life on his 50th Birthday… and he DEFINITELY achieved it.

This week he turned 51… and it’s been absolutely awesome to see that he’s continued to improve his physique during the past 12 months.

He’s gained 3 pounds of muscle and even looks a bit more shredded than he was last year at this time…

During the past few months he questioned his level of rippedness. He kept telling me, “I’ve been looking in the mirror and I don’t think my back is as ripped as it was on my 50th Birthday.”

My response every time was, “Dude… you’re freak’n shredded! You’ve got veins crawling along your back and I can see the freak’n muscle fibers… trust me… you’re definitely more ripped than last year.”

That’s the tough thing with our back… about He’s 51 and Shredded…

The Genetic Influence On Achieving Your Physique Goals

By on

Striving for the ‘Perfect’ body you see in a magazine is silly when you think about it. Why would you want to look like someone else anyway?

Chasing an ‘Ideal’ appearance isn’t what being a Physique Artist is all about. We all have unique gifts and characteristics. Being a Physique Artist is about appreciating what you have… and working with it to the best of your ability…

…In an effort to sculpt your own personal masterpiece.

Aesthetic Muscle: The Science and Art of Exercise Selection

By on

For the Physique Athlete… exercise selection is the art form of applied science… strategically combining movements to sculpt aesthetic muscle with symmetry, proportion, and detail.

As with any great workout program… The Physique Athlete builds a foundation around compound exercises, such as Squats, Deadlifts, Barbell Rows, Pull-Ups, Bench Presses, and Overhead Presses.

These compound movements give you the most ‘bang for your buck’ as they target multiple muscle groups with each rep and produce the bulk of your overall results.

For this reason… some would argue that about Aesthetic Muscle: The Science and Art of Exercise Selection
