Forearm Workout Conclusions

July 31, 2012

As you know, I love to experiment. And the idea of trying to bring up lagging body parts with specialized high frequency training was something I found extremely intriguing. But, as I tweeted on Saturday night:
“Final verdict on the 4 weeks of arms and then 4 weeks of forearms… Big time failure. Blog post Monday to explain.”

The quick and dirty is that I’ve proven to myself in 3 separate tests that specific muscle growth is completely possible, and that training a muscle group 3 to 4 times a week doesn’t cause over-training if you are prepared for it.
During the first month where I trained only my back muscles 3 to 4 times per week I increased the muscle mass of my back by over 4 pounds (As per DEXA). While this was an excellent result (in my opinion) it didn’t transfer in my pictures. Basically, 4 pounds across my […]

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
