The brand NEW NLF is an 11,000 sq ft (with an additional 3,000 sq ft for locker room/shower faciliti This is what we help people accomplish.

In a society of trends, gimmicks and instant gratification, we at NLF feel it's important to cut through the massive piles of BS, and really educate folks on what it means to be healthy, athletic and strong...not just for "this month", but forever. Improving your ability to execute natural, everyday activities without destroying your body, developing balanced full-body strength, and doing the appropriate methods of conditioning. This all leads to efficiency and results!

The trio was the deal today! 4 sets (which is 8 trips/200+ ft) of backward sled drags and 4 sets each of 20 for the glute/hip extensions & leg press combo. Go for a good burn. Feel the musculature working. This was a 30min session that will benefit anyone who does this. Phenomenal! Less stuff, more high quality volume. This is done in some capacity 4 days per week. At least 3 fast & furious bike rides are done in conjunction as are some other outdoor activities too. The message remains the same here and is what I’ve been sharing for decades - no matter you do, in life, always get in 3-5 lifting/resisting training sessions per week. 30min done right will do the trick. I mean we can say we’re going to this thing, that, whatever, but, muscular/more muscle development on your body (more muscle, less body fat, better body shape), is done via LIFTING. Don’t fu*k yourself up, simply train with good form…strengthen, and develop your body. The metabolic effects and increased insulin sensitivity can’t be beaten as well!

30min of bliss! Well, after yer typical, daily 60min of organizing the gym as main warm up!🤯

1) 60min gym org
*
2) Sq machine 5x10-15
*
3) Leg press 5x15-20
*
4) Bike erg 16min - level 2 spin.
You will be in sweaty mess after doing these 3 exercises here in 30-35min🐗

Just fantastic. Extremely basic but yet very effective, for my purposes. It may work & do the same for “you”, also. Form & technique rules the day per usual💯

As always, the great equalizer, the 30min workout! 4 per week (w/lots of extra outdoor activity) is the ticket, for me. They be for you, as well👊🏽

1) seated hamstring leg curls,
6 sets of 6-15 reps
*
2) 4 sets of (down & back is ONE set) of backward sled drags (major PUMP)
*
3) dips (keep shoulders down, drive thru torso) 4x10
*
4) bar hang - 1 set for a few min (awesome)
*
5) concept 2 bike erg - 10min @89/90rpms on level 3 (amazing)

Moving quickly with very minimal rest - I do not go to complete failure/total exhaustion. Just constant moving with the ability to recover. Focus in, connect your mind to your body and muster up the best technique possible🐗💯

Working out is one thing, but understanding or being taught by someone who can give you the skill building cuing, of position, is another. Especially if there’s a lot of breakdown during training or exercise. Less exercises and doing more volume (sets), on a few “exercises” per body part, with really excellent form… is usually the answer when it comes to better development of the body. And for performance. Strong mechanical position and good body awareness does indeed go along way💯

If you’re from the ol’ school, you’ll understand it’s mandatory practice to flex your traps & flare your lats while carrying a 1 gal water jug around the gym with you!!😳😆

Shoulder rehab/active recovery - you’ll see the hands moving against light tension, but, you’ll notice the position in the shoulders & ribcage staying locked. They’re locked in. The movement is coming from the lats & ribcage. Strengthening the complex with tension & isolation. Teaching the muscular system to do the work and taking all impact off of the shoulder😱💯

Strengthening your grip & forearms, is NEVER a bad thing. In fact, when you look at longevity factors & markers, such as; leg strength, balance, less body fat etc…well, grip strength is also one of the longevity indicators mentioned. Like the ability to hang from a bar for 120sec. Imagine being 80 & being able to hang from a bar for 60 sec…you’re going to be doing pretty fukn good in life! A better grip is just better, period. As is good posture & strong-ass legs. Popping the EZ gripz on dumbells for curls, on cable attachments, barbells etc. Pick one thing to add the EZ gripz to. And do them for a few months (then switch them to something else) all the while doing your farmers walks & bar hangs.🐗💯

The gym is littered with these plastic endocrine disrupters every week. Read the new & latest studies on specific blood work markers looking specifically at plastics/plastic byproduct in humans. It’s freaky. They say on average, that people consume roughly the size of a credit cards worth of plastic on a monthly basis. That’s a lot of plastic byproduct in the system, which the body simply can’t clear out. Plastics stay around forever. Some of this ya can’t really get around, but eliminating consumption of this low quality, chemical infused water, in these flimsy one time use bottles…is a start. Your tap water is much much better actually. Or with a basic filter. And eliminating these will also lessen the massive environmental strain, too. Big box will hate it tho to see the thousands or millions of consumers never buying it again.

A Classic NLF quick hitter, 30min workout! Hacks & hams. Pre-fatigue with 3x15 on seated hams (so they’re already PUMPED) then, superset hacks & seated hams. 5x12-15ea. Lock the position in and keep the connection/quality of ex*****on high. Zero breakdowns and a few reps shy of failure on each set. Very short rest being as the objective is an awesome, low joint impact thigh pump🤷🏻‍♂️ Head over to the Concept 2 bike erg after & ride at a smooth pace (’s) for 10min on level 3. Done. Very basic, but extremely effective. 2-3 movements is the standard for most of my own training sessions. This allows one to set their focus in on just a few things, that are highly result producing, and to simply hammer away. This is how it goes, basic/effective workouts, one session after the other…..forever👊🏽💯
