At times of adversity, one gotta smile and focus on not being consumed by the gravitational pull of such calamity. #pickupthepieces #therecovery #NYC

Ok, I'm back on the scene after a severe motor accident. I always hear about how fragile life is, but came to realized how fragile we are. It doesn't matter how much you lift or how strong you think you are, because we're never in control. Murphy's law: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. #therecovery #pickupthepieces #NYC

Hater and non-lifter are always the first to think that someone's on some sport enhancing drug. They simply can't imagine someone pouring their heart out to achieving the quintessential physique, but are the first to have something negative to say in order to make themselves feel somewhat important. I had someone leave me a comment saying that my muscles will turn into fat when I when get older. Really? That had to be the most ignorant thing for someone who don't understand the basic level of kinesiology to say. Please don't open your mouth unless you have a scientific feeding on such matter. HATERS are alway giving advices, Instead of fixing their bitter-selves. Cheers to the haters and nonbelievers - you motivate us to train even harder. 👍🙏

Pan-seared salmon over creamy mozzarella rice 🍴 Directions: Heat a large non-stick pan over high with olive oil. Liberally season salmon with salt and pepper. Place skin side down in pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Do not move fillets. Allow to cook about 7 minutes or until well browned and cooked about three quarters of the way through. Turn fillets and cook about 3 minutes more, or until still just barely pink in the center. Serve immediately, with the skin side up. #mobilekitchen #foodie #foodporn #food #fitfam #love #instadaily #instagood #imstameal #nyc #homecookedmeals #foods #idontplay #tasty #delicious #foodgasm #foodpic #ilovethis #desserts #delish #tastytreats #cookingwithpassion #tagsforlikes #passion #dinnerplates #kitchenbully #mypassion #gym #fitness

EVOLVE: You can't build a better you with an old mentality.

Abs: I don't really do them since I engage those muscles when I do exercises such as squat and bench press, however, I do train them occasionally. I usually do various exercises ( to failure) in order to isolate them. I ultimately believe that in order to get your ab muscles to show, you must eat properly and include some form of cardio exercise in your training program. Exercise without maintaining a balanced meal plan to enhance muscle development, is like having a car without an engine; you get absolutely nowhere.

Pleasant Fall weather drive to the distant farmers market. Time to re-up on inventory.

Post workout meal in under 12min. Building muscles isn't just about lifting weights and such, but to also know how to feel yourself. And, I'm not talking about takeouts, either. You truly gotta take control of what's going into your body (health).

I had the privilege of meeting the great Neil deGrasse Tyson, a world renowned astrophysicist , and science communicator. He is currently the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden #Planetarium at the Rose Center for Earth and #Space and a research associate in the department of #astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History. This guy makes astronomy fun and captivating. Great meeting you, sir! @neildegrassetyson #nyc #nova #cosmos #picoftheday #instadaily #instagood #love #me #science #astrology #space #mars #neildegrassetyson #sun

Leg day, anyone? Leg day is by far the easiest session to skip in the gym. Leg training is tough -- no doubt about it -- and it can be tempting to forget your leg workouts in favor of easier training sessions or missing the gym altogether. Many guys and girls prefer to focus on the showier muscles -- arms, abs, shoulders and chest -- but leg training has many benefits that go beyond aesthetics. Example: Doing exercises such as squat, dead lift and power clean will translate to running faster on the sports field and jumping higher on the basketball court. Even endurance athletes can benefit from stronger legs. You'll also build strong knee, hip and ankle joints leg training, reducing your risk of injury. Think you need cardio workouts to burn fat? Think again. Training your legs, particularly with multi-joint compound exercises, burns a higher number of calories than easier upper-body moves such as biceps curls or lateral raises. This leads to increased fat loss, which is also partly caused by the release of hormones you get when training legs. Your leg muscles are so large that this hormonal response can even help you build upper-body muscle mass, reports the "Men's Fitness" website in 2013. #work legday #love #instagood #me #tbt #follow #cute #photooftheday #followme #tagsforlikes #happy #beautify #like #girl #selfie #picoftheday #summer #fun #smile #friends #instadaily #like4lile #food #eatclean #diet #squat #legs #training

One of the greatest aspects of training is remembering to make it fun, both for you and your community. I mean, why even get involved if you're not going to enjoy it. #fitfun #instagood @alfa_diesel @borncarioca

The Hamstrings: It consist of three main muscles -- biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus -- extending from your sit-bones to your knees. These muscles are responsible for bending your knees. If they’re strong, you can jump high, run fast and accelerate with explosive power. With well-developed hamstrings, you can maintain good posture and prevent leg injuries. Strong hamstrings work to stabilize your hips and keep your spine properly aligned. Think of your skeleton system as a connected chain. If one link moves out of alignment, problems ripple throughout the chain. If your hamstrings are weak and tight, they’ll tug on your hips, tipping them forward, and compromise functional movement. A swayback posture can result in which your lower back arches and shoulders round. Your hamstrings also keep your knee and surrounding connective tissue in alignment.
