Lee Hayward's Total Fitness Bodybuilding

Losing weight can be a lifelong struggle, and no body knows about that more than Mark King. At his heaviest he was 886 pounds, and how he knew his exact weight was because the hospital literally had to take him to the zoo and use the scales that they have there for the animals. That was a few years ago, but since then Mark has lost an astonishing 363 pounds and is still moving and grooving towards losing even more weight and reclaiming his health and fitness. In this podcast interview Mark share's his incredible weight loss journey, from the struggles he faced early in childhood that caused him to go down the road of extreme obesity. To hitting his rock bottom. And now coming out the other side as a better person, and sharing his story to help inspire others who are struggling with their weight. This podcast goes beyond the normal diet and exercise advice that you've heard before. When you're mega fat like mark, you can't just rely on counting calories, tracking macros, and getting 10,000 steps per day. That Approach Does NOT Work for Really BIG People. In this podcast we're going to reveal the truth behind achieving an extreme weight loss transformation. So if you're at rock bottom and feel like there's no hope to turn things around, then this podcast is for you. Get ready to be inspired and motivated to take control of your own weight loss journey! ============= If you would like to learn more about One-On-One Coaching and Personalized Fitness and Nutrition programs, just go to: https://www.leehayward.com/video If you have any questions, you can e-mail: lee@leehayward.com

Progressive Overload is the foundation of strength training. And when you're brand new it's easy to add an extra 5 pounds to a lift, or pump out an extra rep per set, etc. But as you become more advanced those 5 pound jumps in weight become harder and harder to make. And a lot of times guys end up getting injured when trying to increase the weight from week to week. In this video, we explore another variation of progressive overload for advanced lifters. This goes totally against what you've probably been doing, but it can help you break through plateaus, and do so while preventing injury in the process. Whether you're a powerlifter, bodybuilder, or just a hardcore fitness enthusiast who's looking to get stronger, this podcast will help you understand how to better use progressive overload and steady state strength training in your fitness journey.
