Training with real intensity, day in and day out, takes dedication, sacrifice and mental stamina. It’s about pushing through those last few reps, even when your mind is telling you to stop, because in the end you know it will be worth it. It isn’t easy, but that’s why so few people actually achieve a ripped and lean muscular physique. This month, FitnessRx for Men is filled with scientifically based, hardcore and explosive training techniques to get you ripped and lean while building muscle. This is a whole new level of extreme training that isn’t for the faint of heart— it’s for those who are willing to put in the effort that it takes to see real results.
When it comes to achieving fitness goals, our cover model Greg Plitt is the go-to guy for advice. One of the world’s most popular fitness models, Greg has appeared on TV in Bravo’s “Work Out” and on more than 100 fitness magazines in the last few years. In “Explosive Total Body, Fat-Burning Workout” by Joe Pietaro, Greg takes us through a truly hardcore workout like you’ve never seen before. The intense workout boosts power, strength and endurance, and combines what a conventional bodybuilder, powerlifter or marathon runner might be doing. With chains, tires and more, this extreme program is perfect if you’ve hit a plateau and need a change of pace in your routine. “It will shock your body and get you outside in the fresh air and sunshine for a change so that when you get back to your gym, you’ll also get the benefits of muscle confusion,” said Greg. So, are you up for the challenge?
