Bigger is not necessarily better. If your goal is muscle size I will be happy to work with you on achieving that. However if your goal is overall health and fitness our workouts will be decidedly different. While I respect those looking for muscular development, my choice personally is to focus on long term health which means my muscular size will never be huge!

Of course the fastest way to build muscles is with steroids. That is the one thing I will not assist a client with, both because it is illegal (for those with medical conditions it may be legal to use steroids, but still it is not legal for me to aid in their use!) and because steroids, even in controlled dosage, do great damage to the body and will negatively impact the lifespan of a healthy person.

For muscular development we will focus on weights: using iron to push the muscles into growth at a pace that will challenge but not damage your body. A variety of exercises will be used to make sure the muscle is solid and strong. We all know what it looks like to see a guy with hulking huge arms and toothpick legs unbalanced development. But there are a lot less obvious factors that are similar. Guys whose workout is repetitive are building their muscles in only one direction so while they may be happy with their size they don't realize how weak that muscle really is if stressed in other directions so they are at great risk for injury.

For overall body strength we will balance muscle work with aerobic activity. Giving a balance of developing the muscles and developing the body's endurance. Not only is this best for overall health, it is generally the easiest type of program to maintain because the variety keeps it more interesting and the time between doing the same exercises makes it feel less repetitive.

What is your desired focus? Together we can build a program to suit your goals.
