New programs!

Hello all, thanks again for tuning in to Velocity Fitness............online. A few announcements first: beginning January 1, 2007, Velocity Fitness will begin selling personal training programs online. Initially there will be three basic programs, beginner, intermediate, and advanced. These programs will be comprehensive strength and conditioning workouts specifically designed for various fitness levels.

Each program is beautifully photographed and designed to provide the most up-to-date and progressive training information on the market. This is a great way to introduce yourself or your friends to Velocity Fitness. More information in the next couple of weeks!

As for training let's talk a quick program here. I am in love with deadlifts right now. Not stiff-legged deadlifts either.....I am talking real deadlifts.

Try this:

Warm-up 5-minutes

20- squats (no weight)

2 sets / 20 X-Deadlifts (45-65 lbs)

1 sets / 12X- Deadlifts (45-135 lbs)

1 set / 20X- Cleans (45-65 lbs)

2 sets / 12X-Cleans (45-135 lbs)

1 set / 20X- Shoulder Press (Olympic bar presses)

2 sets / 12X- Shoulder Press (45-135 lbs)

That's it, a good short power routine that leaves you feeling like you got a great workout. I really like to link the legs and lower back with the shoulders. I believe empahisizing the kinetic link between the legs and shoulder extension, makes for a very powerful and dynamic athlete.

Anyway, Anderson Silva fights Rich Franklin tomorrow night for the UFC middleweight belt. I really like both of these guys and it's hard to pick one over the other. However, Anderson is the best fighter on the planet right now in my opinion and he thinks he takes it again......after a war. Hope all is well!
