Amino acids have become a popular supplement in the sport/fitness world over the past 10+ years but how many of you really understand what they are aside from knowing that they aid in recovery?

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins that can be used in hundreds of different functions throughout the body. How most people are using them in peri workout formulas is to increase the body's ability to synthesize the additional 11 non essential amino acids to create a complete chain of 20 amino acids which equates to a complete chain or strand of protein that can then go be used to grow hair, repair muscle, it can be used for food as is or be converted to another nutrient, or for any other growth/maintenance of the body's tissues. It can also be broken down so the body can take components of this protein and used hundreds of other ways but we don't have time and character space for that here.

Know what you're taking. The bulk of amino acid products out there only contain the 3 main brached chain amino acids Leucine. Iso-Leucine and Valine. The word "branched" just means their molecular structure has branches on it but they are part of the ESSENTIAL amino acid group.

Why do companies cut these out from the rest of the essential group?

Some studies have shown increases in these amino acids increase the potential for muscle growth, but I've also seen the opposite where too much of any combination of these may also inhibit muscle growth.

There's sooooo much more that goes Into what factors can help push someone into building more muscle that it's my opinion that you can't just bank on one factor alone such as ingesting amino acids. Plus all the artificial sweeteners and gut biome disruptors and well, wouldn't you just rather eat more food?

Essential amino acids can be found in all beef, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, soy, quinoa. And buckwheat and are also known as complete protein foods.

Testimonial time!

The picture on the left is the one I took this morning the picture on the right is from 10 years ago when I was about three weeks out from my first and only figure competition.

Body weight is the same. This came up in my timeline and I wanted to share it because to get down to what you see in that picture I did 90 minutes of cardio every day. I eat to Lapierre and green beans for 14 weeks and I was 100% miserable.

I was hungry all the time I hated the experience and it was incredibly hard & I still came in last in my class.

Fast forward 10 years I’m far more muscular with a lot less cardio and a lot more food and feel like the last year to have been the best I’ve looked in my entire life, all of that is thanks to Jennie Roberts / Valkyrie Athletics.

Thank you Zee Perez!

These Teriyaki Salmon Bowls come together quickly for a healthy and delicious weeknight meal. Bake the salmon and broccoli together, then serve in a bowl with rice, veggies and creamy avocado.

1/3 cup teriyaki sauce (use recipe below or San-J Teriyaki)

2 (4-ounce) salmon fillets

3 cups chopped broccoli florets

1/2 Tablespoon avocado or melted coconut oil

1 cup cooked white or brown rice

1 cup shredded red cabbage

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 bunch green onions, chopped

1/2 avocado, quartered and sliced

1 lime, quartered

In a shallow baking dish, pour 1/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce over salmon fillets and use a spoon to make sure each piece is coated. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but up to four hours. Meanwhile toss chopped broccoli with oil and a bit of sea salt.

Preheat oven to 425ºF and lightly grease a baking sheet.

Place marinated salmon fillets (skin side down) on one half of the prepared baking sheet and add broccoli to the other half.

Bake until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily and broccoli is roasted, about 15-20 minutes. Cook or reheat rice while the salmon and broccoli are baking.

Grab two bowls, add rice and top each with a fillet of salmon, cabbage, carrots, green onions, avocado, a squeeze of lime and a drizzle of remaining teriyaki sauce. Top each salmon filet with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if using. Serve immediately.

Challenge your core stability with the Kettlebell Pull-Through!

One of the core’s main jobs is to stabilize the hips and spine from any unwanted movement while the limbs are in motion.

These could also be called the “anti-positions.”

Examples would be:
1. Dead Bug -> Anti-Extension - working on not arching (extending) our lower back while the arms and/or legs move

2. Suitcase Carry -> Anti-Lateral Flexion - working on not letting the torso be pulled down by holding a weight on one side

In this case, the kettlebell pull-through is mainly an anti-rotation exercise as you work hard to not let the hips and torso rotate as you pull the weight from one side to the next.

In fact, it is also an anti-extension exercise as you work on keeping a strong, straight body line, not allowing your lower back and hips to sink into extension.

You can use this exercise as both a warm-up to prime the core stabilizers for your training, or as a stand-alone exercise to really blast the core.

I prefer to train exercises like this for time, rather than reps, because as fatigue sets in, you will be tempted to speed up your reps.

Start with 2-4 sets x 30-60 seconds and let me know how you feel!

Are you ready to take your training to a level you never thought possible?

Do you want to keep your shoulders strong and healthy for years to come?
Utilize push/pull supersets regularly in your training!
Shoulder injuries are some of the most common injuries I see.

And it makes sense, the shoulder is a highly complex joint with a ton of freedom to move, but relatively little in the way of stability.
Add on to that poor daily posture and unbalanced training, and you can see why we have a recipe for injury.
For many people that I train, we can combat this by improving 2 things:
1. Better control of the shoulder blades by using full retraction/protraction in exercises like push-ups and inverted rows.
2. Balance out the training by giving them MUCH more upper back and rear delt work.
A great superset that hits these 2 areas is the Suspension Push-up and Suspension Inverted Row.
These 2 exercises provide a high bang for your training buck:
1. Better shoulder blade control
2. Total body stability
3. Easier on the joints
4. Provide balance between push/pull
5. High reps are great for conditioning work
Utilize this superset on your next upper body day and let us know what you think!

Thank you Luke!! 💪

You've gotta try this foodgasmic dish we whipped up tonight!

We used 1 organic spaghetti squash delivered straight from plus 1 package of grassfed ground bison and half a jar of vodka sauce.

Bake the spaghetti squash on 460 NOT from a preheated oven. Put it in after you've cut it in half and scooped out the seeds, and then start the oven. You can dress it up beforehand however you like. In this case, we brushed the inside with avocado oil, sprinkled with salt and cut fresh sprigs of rosemary right from our yard and stuffed them inside. Depending on how large your squash is could take anywhere from 30-50 minutes.

Cook the bison and mix in the sauce then set aside.

Then when the squash comes out, place in a fancy dish and stuff the top with your bison mixture and VOILA!

Congrats to our athlete, Holly Lewis Brian, on finishing the Louisiana Half Marathon 10k under her goal time! We helped her to optimize body her composition while leaning out & maximizing performance!

...

I cried when I crossed the finish line, out of sheer joy & amazement that I actually did it!!

It was not ideal weather for my first Half, it was 33° & the wind was blowing at 12mph. It was FREEZING. And about mile 9 the mental game became my biggest struggle, but I pushed through & finished it 13:44 under my Goal time! (This is also my longest run to date, training only took me up to 11 miles)

Congrats Holly!

Want one movement to simultaneously challenge your shoulders, core, and hips?

Look no further than the bear crawl!

But don’t worry, these aren’t the same bear crawls that your high school coach made you do as punishment, these are fun! 😉

Instead of just a mindless conditioning tool, the bear crawl is a foundational movement pattern that trains the entire body as one system.

The focus should be on smooth mechanics and stability in the shoulders, core, and hips while you move in various directions.

Don’t be fooled, even though this movement is slow and controlled, it will quickly drive your heart and breath rate up, making it an excellent tool for warm-ups and conditioning.

The Set-up:
1. Assume a quadruped position, on all fours with your knees bent, hands under the shoulders, and knees under your hips.
2. You want to make sure your core is engaged and not letting your lower back sag downward.
3. Moving your right hand and left foot simultaneously, you will take a step and slowly alternate to create a smooth, steady crawling pattern.

After you have the forward motion down, feel free to experiment with the backwards and lateral bear crawl variations.

Start with 3 sets of about 20 yards or 30-60 seconds and let me know us you think! Thanks 🏋️

Elevate your back training with the Renegade Row!
The Renegade Row is hands down one of the most effective exercises for training the lats & upper back, as well as being a true test of core and shoulder stability.
Unfortunately, many people lose out of these benefits by using excessive and unwanted body motion, especially at the hips.

Combat this by starting with a wider than normal stance to make it easier to stabilize.
As your core stability improves, work on taking a more narrow stance and increasing the weight of the dumbbell.
But always remember, QUALITY over QUANTITY!
Begin with 3 sets x 4-6 slow reps on each arm 💪🏼
Make sure you are performing the exercise correctly so you can reap all the benefits that this exercise has to offer!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
