Playlist of The Day (5/10/12)

Good Morning/Afternoon (for all you readers at lunch), GymGeeks!

Today, my shoulders & traps feel PHENOMENAL…but they won’t in the morning!  Soreness will surely come (new highs in barbell shrugs & lat raises).  Remember to use your supplements after your workout to do damage control in that department.  I recommend L-Glutamine, as it’s been shown to not only repair muscle, but to also reduce inflammation.  Pop two pills before and another two after your workout.  Your body will thank you for it.

I went a little old-school garage rock & indie rock with the new additions to the playlist.  You have to shuffle things up, just like your workouts.  If you hear the same stuff over and over, you’re going to pick up cues when to get into the zone and when you can rest.  Your brain is a big-ass muscle and like all other muscles, it needs confusion for overall growth!

What are you guys listening to today?  Share tunes with me and you’ll get credit in the next posting!





Playlist of The Day (5/9/12)

Good Morning, GymGeeks!

Today, I did a little bit of elliptical training (of course as a form of HIIT).  I know I’ve touched on the subject of HIIT in bits and pieces in previous posts, but I will be writing up a full post later today to explain and prescribe a few starter routines!

Rap DOMINATED my headphones today, as you’ll notice.  I didn’t really get into the genre until I was much older.  Before age 20, if it wasn’t metal, it was CRAP.  Now, if it’s got a good beat, it finds its way onto whatever player I’m using.  I try to find the rock remixes on Spotify (since those are the ones I actually use), but sometimes the Travis Barker remixes aren’t there (ex: Flo Rida today).  An hour of this once a day (twice a week) keeps the doctor away!

Enjoy!
