In This Episode: Brandon and Joe's talk share some behind-the-scenes info about the creation of the new Fire Within Strength training course called: Tempered Steel. They've piloted the first 4 weeks of the program and so have some of Brandon's other clients. Brandon and Joe talk about the progress they have made since starting the course. And an isometric strength exercise. Typically there's no movement, but the muscle is contracted. Something most people can identify is; if they've ever done a wall squat, where you just have to hold in the quad start shaking like jello after a while. That's an example of an isometric portion of an exercise. There are all kinds of training techniques and tons of ways to challenge the body and in our strength training program, today we focus on three: Isometric Eccentric Concentric The primary benefit of concentric is that it is helpful for building muscle. Increases the strength, power, and efficiency of the existing muscle fiber. So you work muscle fiber you already have. When you start a more rigorous program than what you've usually done the first six weeks, you're typically going to put on four to six pounds of muscle. And if you're losing less fat than muscle gains the scale is going to tell you that you're actually getting worse. But that's not the case. Eccentric training is a way of training, not just to failure, but through failure. By using a different method. Changing up like the main focus every week can make your workouts more interesting We discuss the benefits of L-glutamine. Quotes from This Episode: Without taking measurements, understanding your percentage of body fat, and taking a before picture, many people give up on a workout plan after 4 weeks because the scale didn't change much. The scale is not the best measurement of your progress.Links To Things I Talk About: 5 tips for Buiding Muscles Refuel Weekly Email ----------------Episode Sponsor: This episode of Fire Within is brought to you by Podcast Cary, connect with your audience and grow your brand with Cary's professional Podcast Studio.

MTG Pro Tutor - Insights, Tips & Advice from Magic: The Gathering Pros
Sam Pardee is a Grand Prix superstar. So far he’s grabbed 7 Grand Prix top 8s, with wins in Detroit (team) and Portland (Modern). Sam lives in Berkeley California. Click to Tweet: I got a ton of value from Sam Pardee when he shared his story on MTG Pro Tutor today! Click here: http://bit.ly/mtgprotutor-ep40 First Set Ice Age Favorite Set Invasion Rise of the Eldrazi Favorite Card Gideon JuraGavony Township Early Challenge Side boards - Sam would just copy a side board and not think why the cards are there or pick 15 cards that weren't really good. Rigorously going through each match up and thinking which cards you need in the match up with others really help. Level Up Moment Right after Worlds 2012 Sam played Tempered Steel, which was out of his comfort zone, twice a day on MTGO. He learned the deck inside out, including how to side board, and feels this period really boosted his skills. Proudest Magic Moment Pro Tour Born of the Gods. Sam's team, Face to Face Games, did really well and he loved being part of that moment. Best Format Modern - You get such an edge knowing your deck inside out. (Currently playing Splinter Twin.) How to Choose a Standard Deck Consider what was visible from the most recent tournaments and play decks that come from a different angle. For example if Dromoka's Command is really popular, don't play a card that gets blown out by it (like an enchantment based deck). Biggest Mistake Players Make Not advancing your own game because you ascribe too much to your opponent's plays. Card Evaluation Tips Sam takes a hard look at new lands, especially when a rotation is going to happen, because the mana base will have a huge impact on the direction of the format. When evaluating cards for eternal formats, the casting cost is very important because the barrier to entry is very high. Sealed & Draft Tips Sealed: Sam looks at his bombs, answers to bombs, and cards that are resilient to removal. Draft: Through practice (repetition) you get a better feel for reading the draft and managing your curve. Find the time to draft regularly and you'll see improvement. Sam drafts 10-20 times to get a feel for the format and then uses that information to do well. Team Building Putting together a group of people you like and have similar goals is the basis of a team. A minimum of 8 players is kind of the standard so you can hold a draft but 10-12 is better in case a member has to step out for something. When you have your core group and come up short for the Pro Tour then bring people on through a trial period. If things work out, keep them, if not then you can part way cordially. How to Effectively Play Test Find a group of people who have similar goals to you and that you like hanging out with and play a lot. Improvement Suggestions Use proxies to play test and then invest in the deck you really like before your event.
