It is utter insanity to neglect your neuromuscular system.

Your muscles are your suit of armor.

The more you promote your muscles, the more you promote your brain, vitality, and there is a direct correlation of muscle mass to longevity. Want to live a longer and more fulfilling life? Add muscle, increase your lifespan and your capacity for joy and ability to survive catastrophe. You can literally have a direct effect on your happiness probability via consistent resistance exercise.

Now the rest of this article is for my female followers manly, but these recommendations on life and supplementation can be utilized by men too.

But there seems to be this odd disconnect, almost contempt for women and muscles.

I guarantee that you won’t add muscle so quickly that you unavoidably become an ogre or appear, “Manly” ladies. The only people that are going to find you intimidating are weak individuals that are intimidated by someone that can’t over power easily–WHY CARE WHAT THESE TYPES THINK?

Yes, everyone should be lifting weights and regularly promoting lean tissue via resistance exercise. The three areas of underrepresented lifters are as follows: Women, Men age 30+, and youth lifters under 18.

The rest of this article is a simple outline for ladies supplementation.

In particular, ladies supplementation:

Ladies of all ages should be on CREATINE!

The most thoroughly tested and validated supplement in recent years is creatine. It is absolutely proven to work and it is completely safe (when NSF certified). There still remains some misconceptions and at apprehensions, especially for females in terms of creatine use. Why? Who benefits from weak women? Who benefits from unhealthy women? What society would keep the importance of building lean tissue as a taboo and go as far to convince women that if they lift weights they’ll lose their femininity? Where would the benefits be?

PROTEIN: I strongly recommend 2 protein formulas. AminoFormula, and Pre/post protein powder. Some clients get just the AminoFormula, as it satisfies 20g of Protein per scoop. For additional carbs and complete proteins, others choose the pre/post protein formula. Since protein ingestion and nutrient timing can be difficult and costly, many utilize both forms of protein and even add the “Whey Smooth” for concentrated protein support.

Micronutrients: So often overlooked and underrated–your micronutrients and minerals! To optimize your body, we need key micronutrients and minerals–especially when you introduce additional stresses upon the body via work, exercise, and environment. For these micronutrients and minerals, and essential Omegas, I recommend supplementation support. This is done effectively with the “Active Multivitamin” and “SuperOmega”, or, with the allN1, which as the name suggests, does it all, in addition to pre-and-probiotics, and two servings of vegetables.

RECAP:

Top supplement recommendations for my lady clients…

-Creatine (Regular or xxxl).

-Caffeine (workout extreme) or, NO7Rage-dotFIT, or black coffee/green tea

-Aminos bcaa and eaa –Amino Formula (Pre and post lifts and for additional protein)

-Multivitamin and Omega of ALLn1 (Insurance against micronutrient deficiencies and in the case of the ALLn1: gut health and 2 servings of veggies).

Per usual, I only recommend NSF certified supplements from the best in the industry–dotFIT.

20% off all products with the BEEfit link and free shipping on recurring orders and orders $80 and above. 

–you will use the Creatine, and ALLn1 or multivitamin every 30 days. The rest of the products use will vary depending on your needs. 

-Invest in the best so you can get the most from your rest, your training, and your consistency!

Just a sister enjoying her sled…until her little brother challenges her…

How to improve your wellness…

Clear your path: 

concentrate on the big stones, not the pebbles. 

Most people want:

To not be obese.

To have good energy.

To move well/do the things they enjoy without pain.

To live a long and healthy life.

Most people focus on the wrong things in the pursuit of health…

Prioritize what you want to realize your vision…

You almost certainly need:

-Strength and hypertrophy training

-A sensible diet, rich in protein, (fats, carbs, fiber, antioxidants, micronutrients–matter too, but the biggest thing here is getting enough protein. In other words, all other things are after protein and water.) If you haven’t hydrated or eaten enough protein or rested–everything else will be suboptimal. 

-A minimum of 6 hours of sleep per night-men, more than 7-women. (More is better, surprise).

-Daily steps–1,000 + steps daily (30 minutes of conscious walking daily accomplishes this for most). 

-So you need resistance exercise, daily movement (cardio–low impact preferred-IE WALK!), protein, and water. 

THOSE ARE THE BIG STONES TO FOCUS ON.

Don’t bother picking up pebbles before clearing the stones. 

So when we say, “Let’s get stoned,”

Know that we mean to prioritize the big stones and not the pebbles.

Once you consistently clear the big stones daily, 

Then start clearing the pebbles from the path. 

Priority principles–NEVER FORGET, NEVER NEGLECT 1-5.

1.Sleep

2.Nutrition

3.Resistance Exercise

4.Daily steps

5.Nutrient Support (Daily Micronutrients, Creatine, Omega-3)

6.Recovery modalities/mobility/fascia release

7.Reading and Journaling/writing 

8.Alternative recovery modalities (Sauna, Cold plunge, red light therapy)

–#8 –these are very small pebbles. For the love of yourself, stop giving so much time and attention to small reward pebbles like #8 items. Especially the cold plunging–this has been proven to blunt muscle recovery when done post exercise. If you never did the things in #8, you could still achieve optimal health. 

If you focus on 1-6, you will progress to optimal health. 

Stimulate your muscles, support them with nutrition, celebrate them with movement. Your body is a perpetual motion machine! Without resistance, your body degrades. ON WITH THE RESISTANCE!

How to make the most positive changes in the least amount of time?

Follow a program with an experienced, holistic, all natural coach that focuses on muscle addition, movement, and sustainable fat loss. (Description of BEEfit coaching from coach Ryan).

What is a program?

6-12 week segments of training focused on key movements that should stimulate the body and produce muscle promotion in needed areas, increase strength, and with the support of our recovery, progress our physiology in the direction of individual goals–Fat loss, muscle gain etc.  

How do I get coaching from BEEfit and coach Ryan?

Contact us and we do an intake/consultation call to evaluate compatibility. 

How do we meet and train?

Training is done via our App and can be supported with in person training. 

What are the in person training options?

We can schedule one on one appointments or you can meet with the personal training groups and work off your individualized training app with coaching and community support.

How long do I need to workout?

1-Remember, this is a lifelong habit and reward.

2-your individual needs/abilities will determine your workout times/duration. (but 30-90 minutes 2-6  x’s per week is the average).

3-Your training should align with your goals and needs–priority principle–focus on the movements that yield the most returns!

What movements should my programs cover?

Train these 6 components at minimum 1 x Week with progressive overload principles:

1.squat

2.Hip Hinge (deadlift, good morning, 45 degree back extension)

3.Lunge

4.Pull-horizontal and vertical

5.Push

6.Core* (abdominals and surrounding areas) *greatly benefits from daily work.

Summary: 

What happens when you lift consistently (resistance exercise)?

💪Burn more calories 

🦴Stronger bones 

💤Better sleep 

🔥Lower mortality rate/ longer play span. 

🤷‍♂️Less anxiety 

🎓Sharper cognition 

🏋️‍♀️Peak performance potential 

👛Bodily Change = morphological (it is only logical to promote lean tissue! A.k.a. muscles: you will burn more calories, move better, perform better, live longer).

🐝 AVOID THE FADS: Priority principles! Focus on what brings the most returns for your time and best progresses. There are lots of shiny pebbles distracting you on your path, BEEfit and coach Ryan are here to make sure you don’t waste your time on or get distracted by pebbles!

Goals of the course:

Build and shape functional muscles for health longevity! Develop confidence, competence, and self determination via resistance training, establish a healthy relationship with nutrition, build up a trust in the progress process in the creation of our individual, “Relentless” mindsets! (Your nutritional goals are up to you! We can “shred”, “maintain”, or “gain” and your trainer will explain and guide you in this process. 

Training split:

1-Legs *2 shoulder motions, 2 arm motions

2-Back and chest 

3-Shoulders and arms

4-Legs

5-Back and chest*2 shoulder motions, 2 arm motions 

**Mobility and abdominal/core training at the start of every session + bonus Ab and mobility session. 

The entire 12 week program will be supported by an in depth training app…App has in house made, to the point instructional videos for every movement (not a mass produced carbon copy like other gyms do). The app has numerous features to aid in the process including: Training log, extensive movement library–including additional mobility modalities and substitution movements, 2 way communication with coach, meal tracking, progress tracking, and so much more!

One leg day will focus more on posterior muscles (Hamstrings and Glutes), the other more on anterior (Quads). Similar approach on the Back and Chest day splits–a tad more focus on each day towards the posterior or the anterior. Modifications will be made for individual needs based on development, capabilities, and other variables to determine the best motions for each individual. There are many good exercises that stimulate hypertrophy/strength responses, but some line up better, feel better, activate more, etc for different people. We have a lot of choices and will work with you to make the best determinations and accompany these decisions with thorough explanations. 

We are not doing this just to do it. Every workout, each exercise, each rep, matters. We don’t just go through the motions, the motions go through us and we come out of each session, a changed person, a charged person…invigorated, enlivened, awakened–RELENTLESS!  

Nutrition

You will get an initial meal guide from your coach based on your current physical states and aligned with the goals you discuss with your coach on your initial call. A follow up chat to review the guide will take place and discussions on utilizing food for proper recovery and to continue to develop good relationships with food will be ongoing with group chats, forums and more likely to emerge. Our primary goal is to help establish a positive relationship with eating. 

Community:

You are not doing this alone. Besides your dedicated coach, you have your fellow women in the course and other BEEfit community members that you are likely to meet in your journey. We are not just in person. We are united on the app, our group facebook page, through social media, and times outside of our group training course. This is not a race to a destination. This is a lifelong journey and relationship with your body and resistance training is just one of the most valuable tools we have for proactive health–physiological, psychological, biological–resistance training is simply hyper logical!

Fully equipped, completely clean, free of ogres and creeps. A resistance exercise paradise ready to help you realize your potential and experience the miracle of hypertrophy! Activating and stimulating your muscles with intention is a fabulous realization and valuable tool in your personal development and preservation.

More Course description 👇

http://ryanbeefit.com/womens-lifting-group

Many of us claim to be moving down the road to self improvement and just as many anchored in their ways. The latter seem not simply opposed to alternative courses of action, but downright indignant to alterations of perspective and resolute to continue down the path of their “identity”. 

Why do we refuse to accept new thoughts or approaches, even when deeply rooted in logic and evidenced by real life outcomes?

The brain doesn’t like changing its mind.

Our ideas are tethered to, “Our Identity”.

We often rely on mental shortcuts that speed up our ability to make judgments, but this can sometimes lead to bias. There are many types of biases—including the confirmation bias, the hindsight bias, and the anchoring bias, just to name a few—that can influence our beliefs and actions daily.

Cognitive bias: a systematic thought process caused by the tendency of the human brain to simplify information processing through a filter of personal experience and preferences. The filtering process is a coping mechanism that enables the brain to prioritize and process large amounts of information quickly. Thus, making decisions based on beliefs or previous experiences.

Our brains employ some 180 biases and three most common/prevalent are

confirmation bias, the hindsight bias, and the anchoring bias. 

-Confirmation bias: the tendency of people to favor information that confirms or strengthens their beliefs or values and is difficult to dislodge once affirmed. 

-Hindsight bias: the common tendency for people to perceive past events as having been more predictable than they were. 

-Anchoring bias: where we hold onto the first thing we learn about something. 

Now keep in mind (pun intended) that you operate on these and 177 other biases, or in other words, “reasoning filter shortcuts” to formulate your opinion on a matter. Freeing yourself from your biases and leveling up will likely require an abandonment of the old identity.

Unless you are ready to change your identity, you will be tethered to your past biases, habits, and ways of thinking. 

The cool part about your identity and biases? 

You can change them.

How?

Identity your biases.

Take a moment to realize the things that are holding you back.

Where do you want to be?

Who do you want to be?

Adopt a new identity. 

Adopt the identity of the person you want to be.

BEE consistent with CHANGE and embrace the unknown possibilities that present themselves as you make your habits congruent with the identity of who you want to be.

IE: You want to be healthier and more active, that is to say, “FIT”.

Title dictates behavior.

Re-Label yourself as a fit person. 

What does a FIT person do?

-Lift weights 3-6 days per week, consistently.

-Eat 20-50 grams of protein at every meal to get to about 1 gram of protein daily per pound of bodyweight. 

-Consume 32 ounces of water upon waking.

-walk 30 minutes per day (good to break into 3-4 walks). 

-practice gratitude. 

-embrace optimism.

-journal your thoughts (5 minutes + per day)

-Read (no limit)

-minimize time on social media (or none, because honestly, what good does it bring you? Besides this post, haha).

-Belong to the nicest gym you can afford (your environment means a lot & training around other driven individuals is as contagious as being surrounded by undriven people= surround yourself with winners).

Are you ready to identify your biases, assess, and commit to a new identity? 

BEEfit is here to help you build up the habits that dictate the future you want for yourself. 

Let’s connect and set up the program for you to, “BEE your best Version.”

Let’s approach life, one good rep at a time!

If you are ready for change, you are ready to BEEfit.

DM or Email to set up your free consultation. 

1-consume more protein more consistently— roughly 1 g of protein per pound of body weight (if you are highly overweight, this number could be lower— it is likely not lower than 150 g for most. 

2-consume half an ounce to 1 ounce of water for every pound of body weight. About a gallon for most people. 

3-walk 30 minutes per day— preferably spread out throughout the day. 

4-Daly ab routines completed in less than six minutes with just a bodyweight. 

If you need help getting to your protein goals per day, a high-quality protein powder could be very helpful. I only recommend NSF certified supplements see my Dotfit link/recent article on top three supplements and a few other highly beneficial ones:

http://ryanbeefit.com/super-simple-supplement-guide

Eliminating calorie laden liquids, and providing your body with the hydration. It needs to thrive is highly beneficial not just for weight control, but also for good energy and a healthy body in general.

NEAT is an acronym for non-exercise activity thermogenesis… walking is one of the best ways to increase this category of calorie burning that accounts for up to 15% of your daily calories. (EAT exercise activity thermogenesis has a maximum of 5% of your daily calories). Walking can have a greater impact on your daily calories burned, then going to the gym for an hour. 

By working your abs every day, you create a raise serotonin level in your body, a stronger core (which will correlate to a healthier back, greater ability to habituate and do other exercise activities, and help reduce one of the largest zones of adipose tissue). See the link below for some bodyweight, abdominal motions of high importance.

So there are four things you can do without even going into a gym that will be highly beneficial for your health. These four steps will help you lose on one of that and control your weight better than going to the gym alone.

Here is a link to our 60 day fat loss plan with no gym attendance. Would we like to see you in the gym? Yes. But can you make considerable progress and improvements to your health without the gym? Absolutely. In fact, the most impactful habits upon your health are done outside the gym and here is an approachable way to implement some great health habits:

Investing in high quality supplements to fill in nutritional gaps, to help control caloric intake, to aid in nutrient timing, and to improve recovery, is a key part of optimizing your health. 

**Firstly, supplements need to be 3rd party tested (NSF is the one that matters).

1-Protein: WheySmooth and AminoFormula, Best Plant and Aminos if Vegan/don’t like whey. (Can also do Pre/post Protein powder for added carbs and taste).

2-MULTIVITAMIN AND OMEGA-ACTIVE MULTIVITAMIN AND SUPEROMEGA, or, the ALLn1 Superblend.

3-CREATINE: Either Extreme Creatine XXXL or Creatine Monohydrate

So, three supplements that I recommend for EVERYONE. (AND THESE ARE SIMPLY TO GET YOU THE NUTRIENTS YOU NEED/DON’T GET FROM FOOD ALONE).

Protein.

Multivitamin + Omegas.

Creatine.

Here is my 20% off link for 3rd party (NSF) certified supplementation: dotFIT the only brand I recommend.

Link: https://bit.ly/2Y7ZJQb

That’s it. 

Does everyone need to be on nutrient support, creatine, and protein support? Yes. Should everyone be stocking their cupboards with these supplements? Yes. 

Oh, I do add D3 to the mix for those living in gloomier regions, IE the PNW. 

There are some other helpful supplements…but if you aren’t hitting your daily protein needs, covering your micro nutrient needs, eating veggies, drinking water, and getting good to at the least adequate sleep–the “Other Supplements” aren’t going to aid much. Well, the caffeine can help overcome dreariness, but it doesn’t replace the recovery benefits of sleep. Are there other helpful supplements, sure, but not essential as I would consider the aforementioned…here are the OTHER HIGHLY HELPFUL SUPPLEMENTS–THESE ARE MORE for THE 3-6 DAYS PER WEEK OF ACTIVITY/GYM GOER TYPE THINGS THAT ARE NOT HYPE AND ACTUALLY HELPFUL.

Caffeine–at less than 375mg for most individuals should enhance strength, endurance, blood flow and focus. All good things. The basis of most “pre-workout” formulas is caffeine and the idea behind them are to increase blood flow and thus, “The Pump” per say. Does blood flow and energy matter in a workout? Well yes–and besides the energy and additional blood flow (think oxygen to the working muscle), this can be the difference in a few quality reps/getting into the gym in the first place/helping maintain consistency.  

What forms? 

Black Coffee/Green Tea can work, but the caffeine amounts are difficult to account for accurately. 

So?

WORKOUT EXTREME capsules, and

NO7RAGE pre-workout specific powder.

(Some do just the WORKOUT EXTREME). 

I really find a sweet spot with the WORKOUT EXTREME and the NO7RAGE. I keep the highly affordable multi month supply of WORKOUT EXTREME ($20) handy at all times and then every couple of months I get a tub of the NO7RAGE (lemon) and since I am taking the 2 capsules of the WORKOUT EXTREME, I only take one scoop of the NO7RAGE so as to not overdose on caffeine. It is a good mix as I feel the WORKOUT EXTREME stays in the system a little longer and it is a lot more affordable than the NO7RAGE. 

IN SHORT: Caffeine is a proven strength enhancer. If you want to benefit from it, make sure not do take too much and have the adverse effects of vasoconstriction or take uncertified and mysterious pre-workouts with chemicals and compounds in them that can likely hinder performance, recovery, nutrient absorption, and even lead to failed drug tests or worse–adverse health risks from the uncertified pre workout. 

OTHER BENEFICIAL SUPPLEMENTS TO CONSIDER:

-JointSkinCollagen is truly a blessing for those with joint issues and I am told by my female clients that it indeed bolsters skin health and nail and hair growth. This product can definitely be helpful for non-lifters and lifters alike. If you have had surgery(s), broken bones, ligament/tendon issues, joint problems…this is a product you should try for 90 days and verify that it brings relief. If you’re like me, this is an essential for keeping me moving. 

-Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics. (ALLn1 has probiotics and omega, so its already in that blend!).

-Glutamine **Muscle Defender

-Bars for snacks–I will pack these on hikes alongside the AminoFormula and be good to go. Just add water. Haha. 

That about covers it. I don’t recommend much else. There are some helpful

SHORT EXPLANATIONS ON EACH “ESSENTIAL” 

Firstly, supplements need to be 3rd party tested (NSF is the one that matters).

THEY ARE TO FILL IN NUTRITIONAL GAPS

There there are a few tiers here. 

TIER one is food replacement, literally. 

Protein is inarguably the most important macronutrient. 

Why supplement protein? A number of reasons. For starters: You are likely not getting the amount needed to support your lean tissue–ie, your metabolism and for reasons of affordability and digestibility you could choose from a high quality Whey protein or plant based protein and or full amino acid profile AminoFormula (AminoFormula is = to 20g of Protein per scoop).

Next on tier one “Everyone Needs”

Our western diets are deficient in key micronutrients, a full spectrum multivitamin and Omega supplement is highly recommended. HERE you have two choices, The ACTIVE MULTIVITAMIN AND SUPEROMEGA, or, the ALLn1 Superblend.

Energy equals work out extreme 

Muscle equals creatine 

Recovery equals protein and carbohydrates in a little bit of fats 

Most important macro equals protein 

Micro nutrients? Multivitamin or all in one

Creatine: Probably the most thoroughly tested supplement there is. Creatine Monohydrate is completely safe and the 5-10 grams of daily supplementation that most benefit from is best gotten in supplement form (As opposed to eating 5-7 pounds of red meat). Creatine Phosphate depletion in your muscles is a real thing, and supplementing creatine is not just good for your skeletal muscle, it is also great for your brain health and gut health. Last time I checked, those are some really important factors in your health. If something is scientifically proven to improve your muscle recovery and strength, helps brain functioning, and improves gut health–WE SHOULD BE UTILIZING IT. 

In summation: 

Mass market supplements are likely underformulated and contaminated. DO NOT TAKE THEM. 

What do you take then?

NSF certified for sport supplements (the highest standard for 3rd party testing).

dotFIT practitioner grade supplements meet and exceed these standards.

The average person is going to greatly benefit from 3 key supplements: 

Protein.

Multivitamin + Omegas.

Creatine.

There are other helpful supplements, depending on the individual situation and needs. But the hierarchy of importance should not be overlooked. Supplements are not a deal breaker for your fitness and health. But using the right ones to fill in nutritional gaps can be a “DEAL MAKER” for sustainability, recovery, and progress for many individuals. In other words, investing in high quality supplements to fill in nutritional gaps, to help control caloric intake, to aid in nutrient timing, and to optimize recovery, is a key part of optimizing your health.

Let’s separate what I consider and define as bodybuilding from the PED abusing STEROID era of Bodybuilding perpetuated in the mainstream Bodybuilding world of the IFBB and its amateur organization of the NPC–that bloated mass monster image you probably have for bodybuilding. I grew up watching the unattainable standards of Professional bodybuilding and the steroid era of professional baseball (Unattainable without PEDs). I also grew up flipping through the Muscle Development/FLEX magazines seeing the Dorian Yates, Ronnie Coleman, and other PED monsters with their workout splits and bogus supplements. Nowadays kids see the social media influencers and IFBB pro bodybuilders and they are all peddling their systems and NON-CERTIFIED supplements–so it has really only evolved more. To be a competitive professional bodybuilder in the NPC/IFBB, it is expected and understood that PED use will be regimented. What kind of example is this? Isn’t the point of lifting weights to be healthy? How is building a body using shortcuts, cheatcodes, detrimental chemicals, and other harmful processes in order to create, “A Look” beneficial? 

What are the benefits and results of this PED process? If you only want big muscles, and don’t want long term health and the myriad of health benefits that come from resistance training, and aren’t concerned about the health problems stemming from PED abuse–maybe the shortcut PED route is for you. NOT ME. Less than 10 years ago I entered into full time training and as I had never taken PEDs, I was interested in learning about certified all natural bodybuilding as a means to expand my knowledge of training principles, nutrition, and the culture of self improvement. All Natural Bodybuilding focuses on improving yourself to be your best version= “Building a body you love.” It is you versus old you on your way to new you. Like a homeowner who remodels their home until they are happy with it and then they maintain it…except in the case of bodybuilding–this is your one home for your soul on earth, you can’t just pick up and move out of your shell like a hermit crab. All natural bodybuilding is about progressing to your maximum potential that can and could be achieved without PEDs. There is so much more to this journey than the outward results, aka, aesthetics. The mental, spiritual, and physical changes you encounter in your journey are exponential growth factors. The more you learn and grow, the more you realize how much more you have to learn and how much more you can grow. Bodybuilding will demand an understanding of the principles and practices that maximize performance, fat loss, muscle gain, recovery, sustainability, and how to best stimulate and perpetuate these factors.  

As I got more and more interested and invested in progressing my body to its strongest and most muscular potential, I became faced with the choice to further invest in the principles of all natural bodybuilding and strength enhancement, or dive down into the rabbit hole of PEDs and the world of enhanced bodybuilding. Well, thankfully I made up my mind nearly a decade ago to be a lifelong  natural bodybuilder for the sake of my own health and to provide in myself a living example and guide to maximizing muscle and strength production without PEDs. This means that I have taken no shortcuts and the principles I rely upon can be relayed to my clients with confidence. 

Why bodybuilding though? Why not crossfit/circuit training/functional strength training? Well let’s clear up something. Stimulating the muscles for growth response is bodybuilding and anybody using the gym to get stronger, “Sculpt”, lose fat, enhance muscle performance, etc–that is all bodybuilding–you just got sold on another name. If you are using the resistance tools in a gym to shape your body, you are bodybuilding. Bodybuilding is the art of the physique and the principles to rely upon in shaping it. Bodybuilding is a sport of delayed gratification and the application of discipline and determination for a vision of improvement. All natural bodybuilding adds sustainability and anti-aging benefits missing from the PED abuser world, not to mention all the health benefits from sustainable muscle mass versus the physiques of enhanced pro bodybuilders. In other words, you aren’t going to get scary huge without the use of PEDs and by lifting with an all natural bodybuilder protocol, you are maximizing your bodily potential for muscle promotion and maintenance. Muscle is the best anti-aging tool we have. Promoting and maintaining lean tissue should be the primary goal for nearly all gym goers. Lean tissue = metabolism and ability to utilize insulin = move better, look better, utilize your food better.

Bodybuilding is the basis of everything you do at the gym to improve your body…. Every principle you rely upon, was perfected by bodybuilders first and foremost… all the equipment, all of the tools, all the dietary guidelines that you adhere to in order to affect your body, morphologically are bodybuilding principles… So when we say that BEEfit is a bodybuilding and performance gym, we mean that we fully utilize bodybuilding principles for weight loss, muscle gain, movement recovery(rehab), sports performance, and for its supreme, anti-aging benefits! Any training gym that doesn’t embrace those principles, and preach them is wasting your time. (Yes powerlifting can be is a bodybuilding principle and there are plenty of times to focus on lower rep ranges/powerlifting— and a good bodybuilding program has a considerable amount of classic “Olympic lifts”). 

Try as much as you want to try, and look like a bodybuilder, without maximizing the nutritional elements, training characteristics, having the genetic potential, set out on a disciplined and consistent program for many years, and to be realistic, an average of a decade training in order to look like a bodybuilder— in other words, you are very likely not going to look like a bodybuilder without a serious and determined effort over a number of years. Even if you try to train and look like a bodybuilder, you will at best likely end up with the realization of the image in your mind that you have for what you think you want to accomplish. 

Adding muscle is the best anti-aging agent we have — the best way to add muscle is to utilize Bodybuilding principles. There are numerous different training splits and approaches to choose from. Prioritizing your weak points in your training is just one of the great methods of bodybuilding that every individual should focus on. Muscle stimulation and building a globally balanced physique are the basis of bodybuilding–discipline, delayed gratification, getting stronger, moving better, looking better, living longer, and having the ability to do all the things you enjoy with ease are the byproducts of bodybuilding. Please stop deluding yourself and DO NOT BE scared of adding muscle— I guarantee you it’s not that easy and it burns a crazy amount of calories in the process— and the byproducts, are you move better, are stronger, you’re more confident— and the benefits of hypertrophy that we have listed below are just some major ones.

As a certified all natural bodybuilder, I am your fitness fact checker. I have positioned myself in the forefront of this battle for muscle addition and retention. I will “BEE” here for you with the right information, tools, dedication, and programs for you when you are ready to “BEE Your Best Version.”
