Today I think it’s worth examining what quality traits to look for in various coaches and trainers. After all, in today’s fitness arena we’re bombarded with readily available information and resources at the click of a button and many people put a great deal of faith in these online coaches and training resources simply because of their notoriety. So with that being said what do we look for in a quality coach? Read on my young Jedi to explore this question a bit further.

Are you interested in building truly strong lats and back strength that is legit?
Are you wanting to avoid falling victim to ILS-Imaginary Lat Syndrome?
Are you optimizing your strength training in order to build a strong set of lats with the looks to match?

My experience with the imaginary lat syndrome. So the other day I was walking down the aisle of the grocery store and witnessed a guy all of about 150 lbs. of pure skinny coming towards me with his arms flared out by his sides. His arms were wide enough that I thought he was trying to make an attempt to cover the entire aisle and shoulder bump me as he walked by.

Look, I work with plenty 150 lb. guys in MMA and they are plenty strong and show it. I’m not trying to make fun of the guy in the grocery store aisle, but I do want to talk about some things here in today’s article that can be of some help to him and perhaps you as well if you’re serious about learning how to build some serious lat strength.

After all, you probably don’t want to get caught up in the middle of an angry mob at the mall and have to punch and kick your way out to safety.

Well, today this is why I wanted to offer you a much more peaceful approach for your Christmas shopping experience.

The “Getting Ripped Without The Cardio” Myth…

JX0V9338

There have been many times when I have gone onto Facebook and posted up a comment referencing this myth full of BS that a great deal of these online and TV trainers like to pitch with their training programs regarding CARDIO. Usually the pitch goes something like this…Get A Ripped Body With My Program Without The Cardio or Never Worry About Doing Cardio Again And Still Get These Sick Results!

The word “sick” in that last sentence should be interpreted with a positive connotation in case you weren’t clear on that. Keep on reading to see where I go with this “cardio session.” 😉

I know what you are thinking. Brandon, did you just put a picture of a butterfly on your strength and conditioning blog? Yes, I did, but I have a good reason for it. This butterfly has taught me a lesson my friend and I know it’s going to do the same for you.
