I've been spending a lot of time updating and getting pages put together so it will look a lot better and be giving out some great information about fitness and effective work outs for people. I've always tried to look at fitness designs to find new ideas how to integrate work outs or to try something new and I'm hoping the content will give you guys something worth while.
I'm also leaning away from a lot of main stream training techniques. I know you'll read fitness magazines and see other web pages that'll say differently but I'm digging into my research so I'm hoping to give something a little more unique and that will be helpful for everyone out there.

Weight Gain
It sounds a little funny writing that especially for all the advertisements these days about losing weight. I naturally have a skinny body type and it takes a lot for me to gain weight. I've even used weight mass suppliments with little success and the most I've ever weighed is about 165.
I'm hoping to gain 10-15 lbs in the next 3 to 4 months, but constantly pounding down food doesn't seem to really be doing a whole lot. And like said, suppliments do little or nothing to help me achieve this goal. I've continuously looked around for products or helpful advice but simply put when I lift heavier I might gain a very small amount but my body tones out pretty nicely.
So as for now I've been looking for a system that will help me put on mass, or that will help me get really cut as to make up for the lack of overall body mass.
If you have any suggestions let me know!

Run 2 Miles in 12 Minutes
I use to do a lot of longer distance running. Last summer I did a couple of 20 mile runs but I found that despite the long distances it really didn't help me fun much faster. That and it's hard to find time to go run for two or three hours in a day.
So I mixed up my goals and decided that I wanted instead to be able to do shorter distances at a much faster pace. The fastest I've run 2 miles in the past 5 or 6 years is just over 13 minutes, and I've decided that I want to get that to a 6:00 mile pace.
To achieve that I've done a couple things, I've switched up my work out routines so I mix in Olympic Style lifting to my work outs and almost everything is super setted or tri setted with little or no breaks in between sets. This has increased my cardio ability greatly and I'm also surprised to see what it has done to my overall strength.
At the end of my work outs I'm running pretty much a sprint that every day gets a little longer. I get on a treadmill and set the pace for a 6:00 mile and run every day, slowly increasing the distance I go every day. My last run was for a distance of .55 Miles and I'm hoping to run my next two mile pace in 13:00.

100 Push-Ups
I've decided to set a goal for myself that I'd work on push ups until I can 100. It's been a goal for a while now but I found myself cutting off usually around 80 or so and I really could never figure out why I could never breach that.
So I looked through a bunch of fitness magazines and web sites trying to figure out the best way to do this and most will tell you to do several sets and go to the gym and do bench press and all of that but simply put, those didn't work for me.
So instead what I decided to was to start out at a relatively low number for me (25) and Mon-Sat do push ups. Every day I add a few more to that single max set and I've found the results to be pretty good. I've gone from 25 to 65 every day, and I can do almost 90 push ups now in about 2 minutes without having to getting out of the push up position which I'm happy about.
If you've got a way to increase the number of push ups you can do. Let me know!
