  • Ep 36: Progressive Overload, Drop Sets, HIIT. What's Better, Whats The Difference ?

    In this episode I will go over the difference between these forms of training. Why do we do them? When do we do them? Is one better than the other? Should I be doing one over the other ?

    Don't over think this. Any form of exercise is better than nothing! But, when it comes to accomplishing a specific goal you will probably need to be more organized to get there. 


    It seems complicated, but overall it isn't. I think some clarity on the topic can simply do the trick!


    I go over all of this in the new episode of The Jamin Show.

  • Ep 35: The Best Performance Enhancer

    From what I have seen, this is the best for improving performance and giving yourself a competitive advantage. Something that I wish I had done more often when I was a young athlete. Not supplements, or drugs. Something better, that you can do over and over again with little to no negative effects.  

    Additional benefits may include, alleviation of soreness, reduction in inflammation during the muscle repair process, aids in muscle repair recovery, helps with injury prevention by ensuring higher quality of movements, increases blood flow and elasticity of muscle tissue, joints, and fascia (the body’s connective tissue), which helps with mobility, overall well-being, and smoother appearance.

  • Ep 34: Working Out Through An Injury While Making Progress

    To reduce pain you must rest and modify your training technique. I don't recommend resting too long otherwise you will lower your load pain threshold and may continue to have pain when you come back to working out or everyday functions. Overall it is a situation by situation case, but resting too long is a common misconception to the healing process.
    You are trying to maintain your strength while making modifications to your routine. You aren't pushing the same way, but you are still being active! Finding ways to move pain free.
    Having confidence in your approach, with the willingness to learn is key!

  • Ep 33: 6 Steps To Improving Knee Stability

    Right away I want to mention there are more then just 6 ways to enhance knee stability, but I felt like this was a very appropriate set of guidelines for you to understand!
    Inside of each step in this episode, there will be multiple steps that are also important to knee stability. Understanding that fitness in general for all topics is a continuous revolving conversation including this one. There is not one way to do any particular thing regarding knee stability & understanding these concepts is a continuous interest in wanting to learn more.
    There are many reasons why someone would want to improve knee stability; reduce pain, better leg definition, want to be stronger, improve your lifts. If any of these goals are yours or you just want to learn more about the human body then listen to this episode!

  • Ep 32: Isometrics vs Repetition. Why Isometrics Is A Must For Your Strength Training

    Isometrics training mixed into your workout routine can be great for people who need to workout but are in pain, someone who is frail/new, someone who is trying to reach new levels/break plateaus.

    Isometric training is static exercises that do not change the joint angle and can improve your strength, mobility, stability and lower your risk of injury. There is no range of motion, but the force that is produced while in a still position.

    Isometrics trains stability, but doing so can give great benefit to your quality of movement. Adopting isometrics into your workout routine can make all the difference. Paying attention to your exercise selection is key.

    Contrary to dynamic exercises, isometric exercises create little change in the length of the muscle so having a balance to both is what will get you optimal returns on your workout program.

    In This Episode, I go over solutions to some of the most common back pains that I see. Having clarity & specifically selecting exercises with intension is critical to removing back pains permanently.
    Back pain is very common in people because they don't do the necessary things to fix your back while continuing to create im-balances that cause the back pain in the first place.

    The good news is that these problems can be fixed! Be sure to tune into the episode to learn permanent remedies to alleviating back pain.

  • Ep 30: Its Okay To Be Wrong, Learn & Adapt!

    In this episode, I discuss Being Wrong, Learning & Adapting! As a full time entrepreneur I have had to embrace this attitude of being wrong, learning from my mistakes & then adapting so that I don't make the same mistake more then once! Having an open mind to learning and adapting throughout your business & life is critical for the success you vision for yourself!
    I have had little guidance throughout my years & have had to use my own money to learn the hard way. This can be a tough road, but it eventually gets to a point where you see a return on all of the lessons you have learned and you begin to feel wise & powerful. You know that you did things the right way, and you may even have the scars to prove it.
    But success is about the journey, and everything that it took to get to the end result. In order to get to the  result you desire for your life, you must not be afraid to be wrong, learn from your mistakes & then adapt so it never happens again.

  • Ep 28: Core Exercises & Routines That Are Effective To Improving Your Overall Compound Lifts

    In This Episode, I create a list and go over exercises & routines that will effectively help improve your compound lifts. That would include the popular exercises such as squatting, deadlifting, bench pressing and then others like power cleaning, snatches & more! 

    Compound exercises are exercises that use multiple muscle groups at the same time. Thus, making sure you keep your kinetic chain stable and functional is key to lifting the most amount of weight you can safely.


    Effectively being able to push the weight around safely in theory is what keeps you safe outside of your workouts. Being able to perform these movements with weight makes your body more functional not the other way around. Avoiding these lifts because you hurt yourself is a confession you aren't doing them exactly how they should because Deadlift & Squats are really a way of life!

  • Ep 27: Knee Extension vs Hip Extension Leg Exercises. Why Does It Matters?

    In This Episode, I go over the difference between knee extension & hip extension exercises. For many years while I was lifting weights "at a high level" I wasn't using this information effectively. The reality is, this matters when designing a program for yourself or for others! The difference between hip & knee extension is relevant if you are trying to achieve peak results! It is relevant if you are trying to achieve peak strength and it is relevant if you want to achieve no pain!

    Many people associate being strong with having pain and it is an interesting take. It is interesting because there is truth to having a high pain tolerance and being less hurt. This is true because movement is medicine, so is strength. So when you get hurt and keep moving you are also healing yourself. But at the same time i know people as they get stronger they get more banged up. Sure lifting heavy can be tough on the joints but are you hurting because of that or bad form? I bet the pain you're dealing with has more to do with the lack of knowledge and poor form.

    In this episode I go over A few reasons why hip extension and knee extension is relevant in your programing!!!
