DO WHAT YOU KNOW: HGH FOLLOW UP

Hey guys – a massive apology for the delay. I have been under the weather for a while now and ignoring it finally caught up with me and I’ve come down with some not-so-fun bronchitis. But, just because I’m not feeling well doesn’t mean you guys aren’t out there hitting the ground and obliterating your fitness and workout goals. So, with that in mind, I wanted to throw up quick post before the new week began to follow up on Sam’s post from last week about HGH, why it’s so important and what we can do to generate more of it.

I think that post may have surprised a lot of you – especially our female readers. Call me crazy, but I just don’t think many women associate Human Growth Hormone as something they want/need more of. I’m willing to be that when you ladies (and yes, us guys as well) think of HGH we picture this:

And not this:

But the truth is, no matter what sex you are or what your goals are HGH plays a crucial role in helping all of us get and stay lean. I think a good thing to take away from that last post is the realization that sometimes the things we least expect, or the things we are focusing on the least amount, are the things that can be the most important for our goals.

So – what I wanted to throw out to our readers today was a challenge to try some new things to boost your HGH. Yes, this includes you ladies. Check out the videos below and make it a goal to incorporate some of these things into your training schedule next week. Or, make up your own. Grab a jump rope and see what you can do. Throw in some pushups as a super set. Grab two jugs of milk and do step ups onto a chair for 1 min straight and then do standing squat jumps. There really are no limits here. You just need to get out there, be creative and push yourself. Shoot for body failure – it’ll tell you when you’re done.

If you’ve never done full body failure type workouts, maybe start with a day or two and see how you react. No matter what though, the goal here is to throw a curveball at your body. Do something new. Try a workout that you’ve always been terrified to try. Be comfortable with the challenge of body failure because as much as it may hurt during the workout, the results will be well worth it. So get out there and do it and let us know what you did. Take a video, we’ll throw it up. The goal is just to challenge yourself like you haven’t before.

Keep up the good work and keep doing what you know,

Nico
