Train Smarter, Anywhere with ARENA
We are excited to partner up with ARENA the go anywhere fitness equipment. The ARENA brings advanced electric mobility technology to resistance training, instantly adding up to 200lbs to the complete mobile platform. Five turnkey attachments give you endless movements and grips in all planes of motion. At home, at work, or even on vacation, you can pull, push, squat, and hinge all in one complete system. Advanced features and tension management allows the platform to recruit more muscle fibers making it more efficient than traditional weight training.
I will be incorporating this in my training program as well as my online athletes’ programs and use the code PATSGYM on your purchase.

WHAT I EAT IN A DAY FOR DIFFERENT WORKOUTS AND GOALS
Nutrition, just like training, needs to be done with a purpose. Each day depending on my workouts I plan what kind of food I am going to eat. I typically eat similar foods everyday but mix and match based on effort and type of workouts or goals. I block off my workouts into categories: power endurance, strength endurance, strength, power, endurance, and recovery. Each of these have a purpose that leads to your end goal whether it is fat loss, sport specific, mass gain, weight loss, or power to weight ratio.
It is amazing how nutrition can have a huge effect on your workouts and in this article, I laid out a workout from each energy system and a food recipe I’d recommend eating after the workout.
