So as most of y’all, know, I’ve got my new “4-Week Cardio Blast” for sale right now. And while it’s flying off the virtual shelves (thanks guys – I really appreciate the support! , I’m of course getting various questions, feedback, comments, and the usual.

(Not to mention the occasional “I just tried the first workout. I hate you and hope you DIE!” LOL)

Well, I got one question that I’ve kinda talked about before, but want to get into again for a minute.

Those that have seen the program know that on Day 1 of each training week, there is are two instances where I tell you do just do a “pushup variation”. I go on to tell you that I don’t care what kinda pushup you do – pick your favorite and knock yourself out. It could be regular pushups, weighted pushups, incline pushups, dive bomber pushups, wide grip pushups, diamond pushups…whatever. Just pick a couple and do them.

Inevitably, I’ve gotten a few emails from folks asking which pushup variations they should do.

Well…as “The Rock” might say…IT DOESN’T MATTER!

(LOL)

Now, some have made the point that different pushup variations will work the shoulder girdle in a different way. For instance, incline pushups are a totally different exercise than dive bombers, which are totally different than close grip pushups.

Are they all different? Sure. But I don’t really care.

Here’s the thing – we’re just trying to work the shoulder girdle here. In the instance in which these pushups were prescribed, it was just a bodyweight version of a pushing movement. No more, no less. No need to make it complicated.

And for the most part, the pushups are all just slight tweaks of a horizontal pressing movement. It’s like the difference between a normal bench press, an incline bench press, a board press, or a close-grip bench press.

If you’re training for something specifically, then the slight differences might actually matter. Say you’re a competitive bodybuilder, and you have to sculpt your physique just perfectly so as to look “right” on stage. Or say you’re a competitive powerlifter, and a certain exercise will bring up weak muscles so as to make your execution of a particular lift better. Then that’s cool, and you should worry about those slight differences the individual tweak to each exercise would make.

But for the most part, that’s not what my workouts are designed for. They’re designed for GPP – General Physical Preparedness. Or in other words – to get you into really good friggin’ shape.

So we don’t really give a damn about this little tweak or that little tweak – we just wanna get bigger, stronger, faster, have better endurance, more conditioned, etc. overall. That’s the goal.

As long as a particular exercise doesn’t hinder the overall goal or direction of the program, then you’re good to go. I mean, if pushups are used in multi-exercise complex within a circuit training workout, could it be smart to do incline pushups? Sure it would. Would it make sense to do 1-arm pushups – esp if you can only do say a couple on each side? Nope.

Just like if you wanted to do a program that targeted mainly maximal strength, you wouldn’t rely heavily on high-rep bodyweight squats to develop it.

This stuff isn’t that complicated – don’t make it more than it has to be.

So, I’m talking to my one of my good friends yesterday – he owns his own gym where he trains athletes of all ages, prepares high schoolers for combines, gets soccer moms in shape so they can wear their prom dress again…you know the drill.

Andy & I talk training, business, and any combination of the two at least 2-3x/week, and we’re always bouncing ideas off
each other. So of course, he was one of the first ones to get my new “4-Week Cardio Blast”.

Yesterday morning, he calls me to tell me his thoughts…and what he said might floor you.

He called it…”Wiggy-Lite”.

*insert beer commercial reference here* LOL

Normally, calling anything “lite” is a put-down. After all, who wants a puny, watered down, shade-of-its-former-self version of anything? I know I don’t.

But in this case, “Lite” was actually a compliment.

What he meant was it was simple. Basic. Direct to the point. Short. Effective. Efficient.

That sorta thing.

Now, you might be wondering – “Wiggy, aren’t most of your workouts like that already?” Yup – sure are. But this one is
even more so.

See, with the “4-Week Cardio Blast”, there’s no need for build-up, or ramp-ups (and ramp-downs), or waves. No complicated
exercises, or hard to remember workouts. No mind-numbing percentages, and no long-term planning needed.

In fact, the coolest compliment he gave me was, “You know the ladies that I train almost every morning? I could bring them in, print this workout out, hand it to them, and just tell them to get to work. I make sure they know what each movement is, and they do the rest on their own.”

Or in other words, you just show up, do what you’re told, put the right amount of effort in, and get the results.

No complicated anything required.

If this is the kinda workout you’d be interested in (and who wouldn’t?), then why don’t you =>CLICK HERE NOW to
get your own copy today?

And in case you were wondering, you get a bunch of really cool stuff when you order – the workouts themselves, sample programs, video demo resources, workout logs, a separate 45-minute video and mp3, plus more.

All for less than what you’d spend on dinner & a movie.

Oh – some other feedback I got that I thought was pretty neat (and totally unexpected). Bobby S. emailed me and told me that the “4-Week Cardio Blast” was virtually the ‘perfect thing’ to keep him in shape over Christmas, and was what he was gonna use to get started on his New Year’s Resolutions a couple weeks early.

Smart man, IMO.

Do the same thing for yourself, and jump on this thing now…price goes up on Friday.

Well, it sure looks like I did *something* right.

Y’all might remember that not long ago I offered the “4-Week MMA Blast” – a short, 4-week, “get in, kick ass, and get out” MMA workout program. Well, y’all friggin’ loved the program, as I’ve gotten A TON of awesome feedback from it.

One of the things that I got the most feedback on that y’all liked the most was that it *was* only 4-weeks long. Y’all could just dive right in and get to work.

Well, evidently that wasn’t enough, as I’ve been getting a ton of requests for similar programs, so it’s time to (as the saying goes) “give the people what they want”.

Only this time – we’re not talking MMA. We’re talking cardio.

But this ain’t your normal, long, slow, boring-ass, “I might as well be on a friggin’ hamster wheel” cardio. This is cardio…MY way.

Or in other words…the:

“4-Week Cardio Blast”

As you can probably guess, this is a 4-week cardio workout that never involves traditional ‘cardio’ training. Instead, you’ll do kickass circuit and complex training. You’ll do intense strength, power, and athletic exercises, using only DBs, a medicine ball, and bodyweight movements.

This program will again utilize GPP, only be 4 days per week, and the longest workout of the week shouldn’t take more than an hour. The rest are way shorter than that.

But don’t confuse short w/easy – b/c you know they’ll kick your ass.

Here’s what you’ll get:

1 – “4-Week Cardio Blast” workouts

2 – Sample program layouts (just when you should do each workout)

3 – Video resources for all exercises used

4 – Printable workout logs

5 – 45+ minute seminar video going over the “ins and outs” of everything in the program, as well as any questions I thought you’d have

6 – .mp3 of the seminar (you can listen to it anywhere you want!) and the slides to the video in a separate file.

Dang…that’s a lotta kickass info. And you can get it all for cheap…not even twenty bucks!

=>CLICK HERE TO GET IT NOW!

I will tell you this – this el cheapo price is only here until this Friday (17-Dec-10) at midnight. After that, the price goes up.

Don’t believe me? Watch and see what happens.

Supersets (stacking sets of two exercises back-to-back without rest) are something I’ve seen used in workouts for years – dating all the way back to the days (back in the early to mid-’90s) that I closely followed the bodybuilding scene. I used to see supersets used in all kinds of workouts.

I remember guys like Vince Taylor being a big fan of them, and in reading older material, I knew that the “Blonde Bomber” Dave Draper was a huge proponent of supersets, and even tri-sets (stacking three exercises back-to-back-to-back).

In many strength & conditioning and athletic training circles today, supersets are still a popular way of getting a lot done in a little bit of time, and are utilized as a way of letting a muscle group rest a little longer between sets, but not increasing the length of the workout itself.

These days, instead of supersets consisting of two exercises that target the same muscle group, they target different muscle groups, and are generally done in a 1A / 1B sort of fashion which you simply alternate exercises. So you’d do a set of Exercise 1, then rest. Do a set of Exercise 2, then rest again. Repeat until all sets of both exercises have been completed.

While this is a great method of training, I gotta say…I don’t get what the hell some trainers are thinking when they pair up some exercises. It just makes no friggin’ sense.

Give my new podcast a listen as to why, and some of the stuff you should take into consideration when pairing up exercises.
