Unlike conventional barbell squats… this particular squat allows you to take the support provided via the back/arms/shoulders out of the equation. Holding a medicine ball simply adds more work for your core stabilizers. Keeping a controlled smooth movement with proper form will keep the dumbbell from swinging… again more work for your stabilizers to prevent the weights from swinging.</p>http://fitnessbyjah.tumblr.com/post/50179695114http://fitnessbyjah.tumblr.com/post/50179695114Sat, 11 May 2013 12:33:52 -0500fitness by jahJahmatikabdominalsquatsfitness tipsWeight Training<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/febc30b6db1b9d2d76f2c973c145d444/tumblr_mmjqdoyoHc1ruct4ro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Hard work, proper form, focused contractions and positivity… I like to rep out on the cables after my sets of free weights. </p>http://fitnessbyjah.tumblr.com/post/50029337748http://fitnessbyjah.tumblr.com/post/50029337748Thu, 09 May 2013 14:34:36 -0500fitness by jahJahmatikbodybuildingfitness training<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/veDosyIrTSg?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Jamaine “Jahmatik” Hudson, fitness trainer and NPC athlete, displays his curl strength by curling 165 lb. at a body-weight of 200 lb.

I remember going to an herbal pharmacy in Chicago’s Chinatown for the first time back when I was once a vegan like it was yesterday. Herbs allow me to train and focus on my goals without lacking fortitude. I pass on the knowledge my herbalist gives me to my clients. I have studied how to formulate compounds which helps athletes and suggest certain herbs to my clients to help them reach their goals.
