Dr. Al Sears is a valued partner of Vintage Health and Fitness

Image
This guy is awesome when it comes to nutrition and fitness! His fitness program is the perfect, Spartan, bare-bones type of fitness program I like: Applicable to ALL fitness levels, from "I can barely walk" to REALLY fit!! Same principles, just different levels of the same program!! His fitness ideals and practices are those you see espoused here on Vintage Health- AND, he has some additional "wrinkles" that are invaluable. Are Your Lungs Dying? If you do nothing about it the cells in your lungs are dying off faster than you replace them. By the time you’re fifty, 40% of your lung capacity will be gone! This will rob you of your energy and strength. And it makes you an easy target for chronic disease…  I’m Dr. Al Sears and I’ve seen thousands of my own patients boost their lungpower and reverse disease. The technique I give them is so revolutionary; the US Patent Office recently trademarked it! In just minutes a day you’ll get back the lungpower of a 20-year-old. An...

Psychological benefits of the Juice Drink Strategy

Image
The psychological benefits of The Juice Drink Strategy or the barbarian diet are another facet that bears further thought: If you are receiving perfect, total nutrition... Don't you think your mental state will benefit, ALONG WITH your physical appearance and strength?? Well, of course! It just makes sense- just as, in the above photo, I am doing a "wheeled pushup", which most 57 year old (or 27 year olds!) could not do one of which! And so, my physical self is in far better condition that average....(I routinely do 10 +). In like manner, I'm sure my mental state is much more tranquil, than someone who eats the typical American/Western "junk food" diet. (Bread, pasta, twinkies, cheeto's, etc.) The brain and psyche are intimately connected with the body... which is intimately connected with the diet! And exercise, but that is another post... Which comes first: "the diet or the exercise?" They are so inter-related! We need both!

The Juice Drink Strategy- the final solution!

But now, you need to make it a habit- only by regular, daily usage can you gain the incredible, life-changing results you desire! It takes 28 days to ingrain a lifelong habit. Resolve to start now! Set up all al your equipment, tonight. Make sure your Vitamix is clean , and ready to go.

Ideally , you will also have: Ground flax meal, whey or egg-white protein powder, a banana and an orange all ready to peel! In the morning, if all of this is ready, it is so easy to get into the routine of : ADDING all of the ingredients by the fridge, then progressing over to the counter and adding in the flax meal and protein, and then peeling the orange and banana an...

The Vitamix meal replacement plan for total health! The Barbarian Diet mainstay!

How can you EASILY get all the recommended (and MORE!) servings of fruits and vegetables you need each day, all the easily assimilated protein and vitamins as well, and lose weight and lay the foundation you need for optimum health? And save money, too? Simple. Just make one meal per day with a Vitamix high powered blender, liquifying fruits, vegetables, and either eggs, yogurt, and/or cottage cheese along with a little orange juice and milk. That's it! Each morning, I put about a cup or so of orange juice, a couple of ice cubes (the Vitamix runs so fast that the juice will heat if you don't put in a little ice), about a quarter cup of milk (I like the way it "froths" the drink), and about a "handful" of yogurt, mixed frozen fruits, mixed frozen vegetables, and one peeled orange and one banana! That is it- and if I drink it for breakfast, I am not hungry at all until lunch time... and I mean not at all- no cravings, no desire for empty carbohydrates of th...

Static contraction training a scam

Image
Maxick I experimented for over a year, using static contraction training exclusively. This is training with the heaviest weights you can manage, over only the strongest range of your motion (the last inch or two of , say, a bench press.) I would load the bar in my power rack, and squat it, press it, curl it, whatever, once per week! That was it- you need to let your "muscles rebuild"! says Pete Sisco, the expounder of the static contraction training principle... I did indeed get so I could push, and support statically some very massive poundages. I think I gained the most, though, from pressing the bar into the pins of the rack, isometrically, for some seconds before letting up. I also gained muscle mass, and fat. Most of the mass you'll gain using this method will be in your thighs, butt, chest and, unfortunately, your belly. If you've ever seen Pete Sisco, you can envision what this training will do for you... think old Russian olympic lifter... Before that, I ...

SOLVING SHOULDER PROBLEMS... with ISOMETRICS!

Image
Forward shoulder raise, low position Side shoulder raise, middle position Front shoulder raise, high position A couple of months ago, I was standing up on a ladder while working on my house. Suddenly, the ladder began to fall and, in desperation, I maneuvered my body in such as way so as to prevent myself from severe injury. Well, I survived, but my shoulder took the brunt of the accident (partial dislocation) and I thought I might have even torn my rotator cuff. For a good month, I experimented with the proper solution to bring it back to 100%; and this is what I discovered: Isometrics were the best prescription. I hope the above photos are adequate illustration. I got the exercises from two books by John E. Peterson, Pushing Yourself to Power and Isometric Power Revolution , both by Bronze Bow Publishing. Both are treasure troves of useful exercises, with dozens of exercises that you can perform with self-resistance, and no equipment whatsoever! The exercises are VERY effective!...
