The original publishing date of today’s article was back on July 30, 2018, but I thought today was a good day to bring this particular piece out of the archives.

So for today’s topic of discussion I wanted to bring this article to the forefront as I know it will help you if you happen to fall into that category of being a garage gym warrior…whether you’re a fighter, or not.

So check this out…Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is a vital hormone produced in your pituitary gland. HGH plays a key role in growth (obviously), but it is also vital in determining your overall body composition, cell repair, and your metabolism.

With that being said much of the reason strong athletes are strong is because they produce an optimal range of HGH due to their training and lifestyle. Today I want to cover this along with giving you the tools to supercharge your body’s natural production of HGH.

The original publishing date of today’s article was back on March 30, 2017.

I decided to pull this one from the archives because I thought it was due. Mindset is a huge part of what I like to address because everything you (or I) will do in training and in life begins with the mind.

The mental side of life is what carries us. It’s the catalyst and the sustainability of a given behavior. Mental toughness is in short supply these days, but it’s not something that is completely extinct.
