One thing I forgot to mention in the video is to use all the liquid from the beans and banana peppers when you put ingredients into the crockpot . You want to have the juice in there for flavor and to prevent from having a dry chili.
You can check out the Barbell Shrugged chili recipe for a more paleo-friendly variation.
In order to get Jacked, in order to get Strong, you must take action. It’s not for everybody. Not everybody can hack it. It takes a certain mentality and a certain mental toughness. You either want it or you don’t. For those of you that do, I have a simple tip for you…”Go Get It.” It’s that simple. Get your butt in the gym, take care of yourself in the kitchen and get a proper amount of sleep at night and you can dwindle the fat away and become a lean muscle-building machine.
I can sit here and give away all the many health benefits you will receive just by reducing your overall fat level and packing on some hard-earned muscle but that would be rather boring. I would rather stab myself in the eye. So for yours and mine benefit I am going to give you 10 reasons on why you should become Jacked and Strong.
I love energy. Not only in the gym but in life. Nothing fires me up more than hard training and listening to people who motivate me. Not just with what they say but in how they live their lives. They back up their talk with action. These are the people in life who I want to surround myself with. Not the naysayers and people who talk a big game but don’t back it up.
I recently read “Jailhouse Strong” by Josh Bryant and Adam Benshea and if you enjoy reading books on training, this one will not disappoint. The idea behind the book is to discuss the strength training methods incorporated by jail-house inmates including free-weight and body-weight methods. So, if you are unsure on how to start, here are 3 fun ways to incorporate body weight training into your workouts. The below methods can be used on just about any body weight movement you choose including burpees, pushups, squats, lunges, chinups, pullups, dips, tricep extensions, leg raises, situps, etc.
Back in the day I can remember walking into the gym, begin taking a look at all the equipment and I would sometimes get this overwhelming feeling of, “Okay, where do I start?” I had no plan in place and a sense of programming was not in my toolbox. Heck, my rep schemes came from the latest fitness magazine for no other reason than that it looked like it might work. It was just a big mess. That’s why I’ve come up with five ways to help you get the most out of your training to help prevent yourself from going through the same mistakes I did.
Last week I brought to you five of Jacked & Strong’s top ten squat programs to best build strength and muscle. Whether you are looking to increase your one rep max or overall muscle endurance taking on a squat program will help get you there faster. To finish up our top 10 list, I am listing some of the best intermediate programs out there. Beginners stay away. Come back to this page once you’ve depleted your newbie gains and you’re ready for a great challenge.
So, you want gains, huh? How bad do you want’em? Do you have it in you to get the gains you want? Listen, any nobody can walk into a gym, workout for a few weeks and start to see magic happen. Muscles start growing, waist gets smaller, and then suddenly the gains stop. The body adapts and it’s time for Mr. Nobody to overcome. But, what does Mr. Nobody do? He gets pissed off, says he can’t lose weight, blames his genetics, and either stops training all together or starts looking for the next magical program that will give him all he desires.
