Before we get into today’s Mad Monday workout I want to share with you something important. Several years ago I used to teach Tai Chi. It was a time of deep struggle and search to understand why I was here.
I would often feel anxiety because I was not progressing fast enough on the path of “enlightenment.” I would read about the gurus that had achieved a state of oneness with the world and get frustrated because I was not there yet.
Well, Tai Chi was one of the few practices that helped me c…
It was an early morning and I was practicing Tai Chi in my back yard. The earth was quiet and all I could hear was the sound of the morning birds and my gentle foot steps.
My breathing was soft.
My mind was clear.
My body was relaxed.
Then, without me even realizing it, my internal energy began to sink.
It is a technique called “rooting energy” and is one of the most incredible feelings in the world. It feels like the lower half of your body is buried DEEP within the ground. Energy like a tsunami flo…
You know that I like to push the envelope with my workouts and today is no different. In fact it is one of the most challenging workouts yet. However, I will not be joining you today in the sweat and tears.
Instead, I have a special guest making her cameo appearance on AShotofAdrenaline TV, it is none other than Mrs. Adrenaline herself… my wife Allison!
Today, I put her and you through the 7 Minute V Up Challenge.
So I would you to give her a hearty Adrenaline-style welcome!
Welcome! The purpose of A Shot of Adrenaline is twofold. The first is physical. I am extremely passionate about body weight exercises and helping others transform their bodies with body weight routines. Here at SOA, I write articles and publish videos with the goal of helping you do that.
If you have a specific or personal question I am happy to help. I read and answer every email I receive. Feel free to contact me here: todd@ashotofadrenaline.net.
The second purpose is to share my personal story. By the time I was 13 I had developed an insatiable desire to understand why we are here. After over a decade of spending endless hours in zen meditation and traversing the plains of Atheism, Buddhism, Baha'i, New Age and Shamanism, I was brought to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." - John 14:6
This site is a public proclamation of my faith in Him that saves. If this offends you, I welcome you to read my story and learn about the experience that brought me to Jesus.
Bodyweight Overload is a 6 week program that I created that helps people build muscle while using only body weight exercises. It incorporates principles of Angular Training and Bodyweight Distribution to overload the muscle and stimulate growth. The above picture shows my results after 2 months on the program.
You CAN build muscle without weights, you just need to know how to do it.
John Adams gained 1 inch to his arms and 2 inches to his chest in only 6 weeks.
Joe Gibson lost 13 lbs and gained an inch of muscle To his chest in just 6 weeks.
