The Dark Side of Workouts; Uncensored Podcast

March 19, 2014 by

In today’s uncensored podcast John and Brad will speak to us about Exercise-Induced Rhabdomyolysis.

John and Brad speak to us about Exercise-Induced Rhabdomyolysis

John and Brad speak to us about Exercise-Induced Rhabdomyolysis

 General adaptation response is a normal part of working out, but if exercise is taken to the extreme you can go into Rhabdomyolysis. Normal exercise is just enough to have general adaptation response. It’s important to realize that muscle building and fat loss happens in short consistency over time. It can’t be done too fast.

There is some glorification regarding extreme exercise exertion and exhaustion and even Rhabdomyolysis, but this is a serious condition that can be fatal.

Rhabdomyolysis, with aliases such as “Rhabdo” & “Uncle Rhabdo” is a rampant problem, at least in the CrossFit community.

CrossFitters, largely unaware of the rhabdo risk, will continue to charge ahead, pressured and happily coerced into exercising to depletion and exhaustion.

 

“Rhabdomyolysis is the breakdown

  of muscle fibers resulting in the release of

muscle fiber contents (myoglobin)

into the bloodstream.”

Since I’ve been a part of the AGR community and lived the Adonis lifestyle for the past four years, I realize you don’t have to exercise to an extreme to lose fat and attain “Golden Measurements.”  With much less effort, you can transform from “Average Joe  to Cover Model Pro.”   Our former Adonis Transformation Contest winners have proven that time and time again. 

While the allure of extreme workouts done together in a team environment may seem appealing, do no allow your goals to become hi-jacked! 

The AGR philosophy is “Targeted Muscle Building and Fat Burning for the Perfect Physique.”  There is no need get extreme.

In fact too much strenuous exercise can decrease your leptin levels, hindering your ability to lose fat, increase your hunger, and make you feel fatigued and lethargic.

Our workout and nutrition programs are designed to  provide a sustainable active lifestyle that can be followed for the long term.  Of course you will have days you don’t feel like working out, we all have those days, but remember our goal is to STIMULATE not ANNIHLATE you with exercise.

Allen Elliott | Adonis Golden Ratio Ambassador

If You Want to Change Your Shape, You Need to Change Your Life: Uncensored Podcast

February 5, 2014 by

 Here’s the next episode of the UNCENSORED Podcasts Season 3.

 If You Want to Change Your Shape, You Need to Change Your Life

iStock_000031249604Small

Any time is a good time to start your fitness goals, but the New Year is a common time to start. The most important thing is that you are making a LONG TERM lifestyle change. If you are going to make this step, it’s going to take a shift in the way you live your life.

 

Welcome to February 2014!  The crowded gyms filled with New Year’s Resolutioner’s are beginning to dwindle down in occupancy.  Hopefully, with the help of the Adonis Community you will remain motivated and steadfast in the pursuit of your goals.   Any time is a good time to start your fitness goals, but the new year is a common time to start.

Some people show up in January hoping it will all be done in February, but it just does not work that way does it?  The problem with this mentality is that it is not life changing.  Real change requires you to change your habits for life.  You can’t just fix everything in one month and go back to the way you were living your life that got you overweight and out of shape in the first place.

The most important thing is that you are making a LONG TERM lifestyle change.

If you are going to make this step, it’s going to take a shift in the way you live your life.

The first 21 days are the toughest, it’s the habits you develop here that eventually become the way you live your life.  These habits over time are performed with less effort as it becomes familiar and more natural to you.

Why is exercise is important?  Not only is it healthy for you, it provides structure – like a steering wheel – it creates a mindset for changing your body.  It adds purpose to your day, giving you something to strive for. Proper exercises accompanied with good food choices adds incentive to see results quickly.

The habits of good diet and exercise build upon each other, creating a snowball effect and your progress accelerates as your quality of life increases.

DIET (two diets):  Diet from food and diet from fitness media (limit your reading of fitness media).

Be patient because it won’t happen as fast as you want it to, but patience is what will finally bring you the results.

Today John and Brad talk about the Adonis philosophy of weight loss and how to change your shape for life.

News about Upcoming Events in the Adonis Community for 2014

January 13, 2014 by
News about Upcoming Events in the Adonis Community for 2014

PLAN AHEAD: 2014 marches on and it’s time to get ready for some exciting upcoming event in the Adonis Community

Count Down To AT13

The First Contest of the Year Starts on January 20, 2014

The next contest will be the Adonis Transformation Contest AT-13.  This starts on January 20, 2014 and will end on April 14, 2014

Contests are a great motivator for some people.  You can also “shadow” a contest which is not actually submitting an entry but following along during the same 12 weeks.

Many people use the online community for support during the contest, or during their “shadow contest”.

There are also many challenges created by community members; these are informal mini contests where Adonis community members pool together prizes and have fun cheering each other on.

Competition Amongst Contest Entries Has Been Fierce!

As more men enter the contests, the bar is getting set very high so think about entering a contest during a time of the year when you might be close to reaching your Adonis goals.  The contest judges will evaluate final entries based on the following factors:

1- Weight Loss (LBS)

2-  Adonis Golden Ratio (AGR)  Transformation Change

3-  Final AGR Score

4- Muscularity

5- Aesthetics/Photogenic Quality

The judges need to see these changes in the pictures so it’s important that both before and after pictures are in focus and taken at appropriate angles and with good lighting (selfies don’t do this well).  Take the time to to use a camera with a timer or have someone with a steady hand take the pictures.

We typically run three contests a year.  After AT-13 is complete there will be two additional contests this year:

AT-14 Starts May 12, 2014 and ends August 4, 2014

AT-15 Starts September 1, 2014 and ends November 24, 2014

Look forward to AT-12 interview podcasts in the weeks to come

In the upcoming weeks we can look forward to the Adonis Transformation Contest AT-12 interview podcasts being posted every Monday.  This is where we will hear the first hand stories from the winners and what helped them with their success.  We will hear about their struggles, lessons learned, obstacles overcome, and their words of wisdom.  For most of us these stories are very motivating. We can learn something new from each story.

Not only will you hear the motivating stories; John also includes tidbits of coaching and advice that pertain to the stories.  Usually we find this information reassuring or can use it to change our own strategy for success.

Look forward to a new workout of the month

You can look forward to seeing a new workout released each month.  We’ve got some really fun and interesting series coming out based on your continued requests and feedback.  It’s going to be an exciting year.

New Year,  Same Drive.  What keeps you motivated to achieve your goals?

This will be different for each person.  You may already know what keeps you motivated or you may need to experiment to find out.  Some people like our contests and others may like our fun community challenges.  Some may have a wedding or important life event to look forward to.  If you’re still searching for motivation to pursue your goals, here are some additional questions you may want to ask yourself:

Who do you know that can support you in making this transition to live a healthy and fit lifestyle?

 What prompted you to want to make these changes?

When would you like to start this process and when do you expect to see results?

Where else have you looked for advice or found helpful information?

How do you think the transformation process will affect your current schedule and responsibilities?

One thing to keep in mind regarding support and  motivation is this year we have an Adonis meet up in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA planned.  As iron sharpens iron, there have been several long-lasting relationships developed within the Adonis Community.  This meet-up will be a great opportunity to enjoy in the camaraderie and fellowship of like-minded people.

Thanks for your Vote!

You may recall earlier last year that I was  nominated into the Top 20  as “Semi-Finalist” in the 2014 BodySpace Spokesmodel Search, hosted by Bodybuilding.com

I’m happy to announce that thanks to your support by way of votes, I was selected as a Top 10 Finalist.  I will go on to compete in the Finalist Competition at the LA Fitness Expo January 21-26.  This was a dream turned into reality thanks to the continued support from my brothers in iron.  I’ll definitely have some updates to share upon my return and am thrilled to be an ambassador for the “Adonis Lifestyle” on a national platform such as this.

Top 10 Finalist Have Been Chosen! Thanks for helping make this dream a reality.

“Top 10 Finalist Have Been Chosen! Thanks for helping make this dream a reality.” – Allen Elliott aka “Captain Healthy”

 

Wrapping up

Last but not least, we’ve got a surprise down the road for those of who have asked for some EXTRA accountability… more on that very soon.

Stay tuned, The year is young and we’re just getting started!

 

your brother in Iron,

Allen Elliott | Adonis Golden Ratio Ambassador

What About Gut Bacteria and Weight Loss?

January 7, 2014 by

Here’s the next episode of the UNCENSORED Podcasts Season 3.

What about gut bacteria and weight loss?

Keith is one of our many veteran "Every Day Adonis" men who maintain the Adonis lifestyle. Much of his success comes from eating healthy. He pays attention to the reactions in his body and how specific foods make him feel. Stay tuned for his transformation interview coming soon!

Keith is one of our many veteran “Every Day Adonis” men who maintains the Adonis Lifestyle. Much of his success comes from eating healthy. He pays attention to the reactions in his body and how specific foods make him feel. Stay tuned for his transformation interview coming soon!

John and Brad have been researching this subject and found:

  • The classic nutrition model:  Feed the machine, done.
  • The new model:  Feed the machine that feeds or feed the micro machines that feed you -you being the macro machine.

Most of us know that probiotics are good for you and make you feel better. Antibiotics can kill good bacteria and probiotics help build the good bacteria back up.

Within your intestines there 10 times as many bacteria cells as your body cells.  This is a very big part of your body, so it makes sense that this is important.

In order to appreciate the importance of the bacteria it is crucial to know they are a fundamental part of your body.  They influence hormones, how you feel, and are very much a part of who you are.

Recent research pointed out that obese vs lean people have very different bacteria population within their bodies.

The bacterium changes your ability to metabolize certain foods.

Right now John and Brad are spending some time to find out if there is a better way to use this information to help you lose weight more successfully.  They have found that there seems to be a link to this and those who have been the most successful at using the Adonis Golden Ratio System.

What about you?  Do you think about what you eat and how it makes you feel and your ability to perform for all that you do every day?
