    Maryland man allegedly forced shotgun on suicidal teen son, told him ‘just do it’

    Anthony Jerome Lewis, 46, was taken into custody last week after the incident. It’s unclear when the encounter happened, but Lewis’ son told investigators on Wednesday he was abused on many occasions between January and June of this year.

    EX-BOSTON COLLEGE STUDENT ACCUSED OF URGING BOYFRIEND TO KILL HIMSELF CLAIMS SHE DID OPPOSITE, RELEASES TEXTS

    On one occasion, the high school student told Lewis and his mother he had felt suicidal, which is when his father apparently forced a shotgun between the teenager’s legs and forced his hands toward the trigger, the Capital Gazette reported, citing court records.

    Anthony Jerome Lewis, 46, was arrested after he allegedly handed his son a shotgun and told him to "just do it" after he confessed to having suicidal thoughts.

    Lewis, of Odenton in Anne Arundel County, allegedly told his son to “do it” and “end it now” before the boy left and went to his room and locked the door.

    The teenager told authorities there were a number of other abusive incidents at the hands of his father. He said during a six-month period earlier this year, Lewis hit him at least three times with a belt or extension cord — with more than 20 lashes comprising each incident, according to WMAR-TV.

    On another occasion, Lewis’ son claimed he was choked so hard he saw “weird colors.” He said he was once removed from school for “homeschooling,” but ultimately ended up doing chores around the house.

    The boy said he was fed properly, but was only allowed to use the bathroom when he asked for permission. He told authorities he was “forced to stay in his room with no television, phone or internet access when not doing the chores.”

    At a hearing on Thursday, Lewis was ordered held without bond and to have no contact with his child. The judge reportedly called him a public safety risk, but Lewis argued he was not a threat to his son, nor was he a flight risk.

    He was charged with first- and second-degree assault, coercion, participation and providing the means of assisted suicide, reckless endangerment, firearm use and child abuse.

  • 4 Weeks of Girevoy Sport Training: Do You Have What It Takes?

    4 Weeks of Girevoy Sport Training: Do You Have What It Takes?

    Kettlebell sport, also known as girevoy sport (GS), is a highly challenging power-endurance feat of a cyclical nature. Lifters’ success involves technique, flexibility, strength and power, proper breathing patterns, aerobic capacity, stability, and mental focus.

     

    As opposed to Olympic lifting or powerlifting, GS requires an athlete to lift a sub-maximal load, completing as many repetitions as possible in ten minutes.

     

     

    That's me competing in GS.

     

    History of Girevoy Sport

    The Russians can take credit for developing this unique form of competition, yet weights with handles have been used as early as 8th century BC, when the Greeks began creating their own versions of gymnasiums and were the first to develop organized approaches to weight training and sports, including the use of halteres.

     

    Halteres, from the Greek allomai, means "leap” or “spring.” These metal or stone weights with holes were used for lifting as well as for assisting athletes in the long jump. By holding one in each hand, halteres, weighing between 12 and 35kg, allowed an athlete greater jumping distance.

     

    Greek halteres weighed between 12 and 35kg.

     

    The 3 Traditional Lifts of Girevoy Sport

    Lifters choose the weight and lift they wish to perform at competition, usually months in advance. They then train to show quality reps and fulfill ten minutes in their chosen lift.

     

    Biathlon: Jerk and Snatch

    Ten minutes of jerk is followed by ten minutes of snatch, with a minimum thirty-minute rest between the two lifts. For jerk, men use two bells, while women typically use one, changing sides once. These two ten-minute events are very challenging to perform and prepare for, therefore biathlon is not ideal for beginners.

     

    To do the jerk, the lifter swing cleans the kettlebells to the tack position with the elbows resting on the iliac crests. From the rack, the lifter quickly dips the legs from the knees as in a hinge. There is no change in the position of the arms or bells during this first dip.

     

    "Ten minutes of jerk is followed by ten minutes of snatch, with a minimum thirty-minute rest between the two lifts."

    The next movement, the drive, accelerates the bells off the body with a fast straightening of the legs. The lifter then quickly bends his/her knees so they are under the arm and bell(s) by the time they straighten. The lifter then straightens the legs with the arm still straight and bell(s) fixated. Once this is done, the lifter can let the bell(s) drop back to the rack position.

     

    For the snatch portion of the biathlon, both men and women use one bell, changing sides once. The lifter begins the snatch from the floor with a backward swing, then accelerates it forward and up. Just before the bell reaches the overhead position of fixation, the lifter slips his or her hand into the handle. The bell is then fixated overhead with knees and arm straight. On the downswing, the bell is rotated slightly to reduce its momentum and caught before it passes between the legs.

     

     

    Long Cycle

    This format offers a slower pace than the jerk or snatch due to the double movement of the cycle – one swing clean to rack position, followed by one jerk. The bell is then brought down through the rack to the next swing clean. Men use two bells, while women typically use one, changing sides once.

     

    An example of long cycle from a competition in 2010.

     

    Weights Used in GS Competition

    At certain meets, the weights lifted are determined by the host organization. For example, to win the pro division at international meets, men lift 32kg/72lb and women 24kg/53lb.

     

    Meets in the United States have become very enticing as women can compete with bells as light as 8kg/17.5lb and men with 16kg/35lb. This enables novice lifters to build on their technique and endurance while enjoying the experience of competing and achieving ranks.

     

    Colors Representing GS Weights:

     

    • Pink – 8kg
    • Blue – 12kg
    • Yellow – 16kg
    • Purple – 20kg
    • Green – 24kg
    • Red – 32kg

     

    Can Anyone Compete?

    There are no age restrictions in GS. I’ve seen ages five through 75 on the platform – and it’s a beautiful and inspiring sight! Some meets do require qualification via video submission prior to competition, while others do not.

     

    "There are no age restrictions in GS. I’ve seen ages five through 75 on the platform – and it’s a beautiful and inspiring sight!"

    Regardless of the competition, it is highly advisable that you use a good coach throughout your training and competition process. A coach is necessary to guide you in the many aspects of the sport – breathing patterns, pacing, execution of lifts, hand positions, hand care, specific assistance drills to overcome weaknesses, recovery, mental preparation and much more.

     

    Competing in GS doesn’t mean you have to give up everything else, either. If you enjoy activities like lifting, running, cycling, rowing, or swimming, you can utilize them to further develop the aerobic capacity necessary for GS.

     

     

    Earning Medals and Ranks

    In GS, lifters have the opportunity to win gold, silver, or bronze medals in their weight class, age class, and the overall by putting up the most reps in any of these categories, and using the same weight as other lifters in the same category.

     

    Ranks are awarded when a lifter fulfills a certain number of reps dictated by their weight class. Rank abbreviations are:

     

    • HMS – Honored Master of Sport
    • MSIC – Master of Sport International Class
    • MS – Master of Sport
    • CMS – Candidate for Master of Sport
    • Rank 1, 2, 3

     

    Honored Master of Sport is awarded through the Russian Sport Consulate to only a handful of athletes who have accumulated 150 points through the following prestigious meets:

     

    • Cup of Russia
    • European Cup
    • European Championship
    • World Cups

     

    For example, winning first place in Cup of Russia earns the lifter ten points, but winning first place in European Championship earns 35 points.

     

    Those outside of Russia desiring to earn the title of World Champion should look to compete at either the IGSF or IUKL World Championships. Each organization has its own ranking tables detailing different weight and age categories.

     

    A Sport to Grow Young With

    The incidence of injury in GS is very low when compared to other sports. GS involves standing in one place while moving the weights overhead through the use of the legs, spine, abs, and shoulders. The process of training results in increased lean muscle, fat loss, reduced risk of osteoporosis, aerobic conditioning and endurance, and a balanced muscular system. GS training utilizes three dimensions of the joints, flexibility, muscular symmetry, and joint stability. Since GS is a power endurance sport, it creates bodies that are, in most cases, lean and strong.

     

     

    What Training Entails

    Within a training week, lifters will perform:

     

    • Their competition lifts in various timed sets, with varied weights
    • Assisted drills to improve flexibility, timing, grip strength, and tempo and breathing patterns
    • Full-body resistance training
    • Flexibility training
    • Cardiovascular exercise in the form of running, swimming, biking, rowing, skating, etc. at various intensities

     

    Training sessions are performed an average of four days per week, with each session lasting approximately ninety minutes to two hours in order to build stability, endurance, conditioning and mental focus.

     

    "The process of training results in increased lean muscle, fat loss, reduced risk of osteoporosis, aerobic conditioning and endurance, and a balanced muscular system."

    It is imperative for lifters to have a clock available at all training sessions in order to perform the required reps for each training day. After a couple years of training, lifters will be able to perform the competition pace they’ve trained for without reliance on a clock, but the majority of competitions will still have visible clocks and rep counters for competitors to view while on the platform.

     

    Are You Ready?

    So, are you ready to get started on your GS training adventure? I’ve created a four-week program for you to get a taste of the sport.

     

    When you begin training for GS competition, you and your coach will determine which lift(s) you’ll perform. Typically, lifters begin with long cycle since it is a slower pace than jerk or snatch and because snatch is heavily reliant on grip endurance, which takes time to acquire.

     

    The following program is a sample of one week’s training for each lift in order to practice prior to setting up your personalized competition program. For best results, you’ll need a variety of competition bells available. Cardio and conditioning should follow at least three of the four training days.

  • Are You Lifting the Proper Quantity of Weight?

    Are You Lifting the Proper Quantity of Weight?

    The quantity of weight you need to be lifting is dependent upon the outcome you need—measurement, power, or endurance. Nonetheless, an excellent normal benchmark is 90 % of your 1-rep max. At that proportion, the members in a Brazilian examine achieved as much as 98 % activation of their focused muscle tissues. Except you are a aggressive lifter, there isn’t any motive to go any heavier, says Bret Contreras, C.S.C.S., the creator of Body weight Energy Coaching Anatomy.

    In fact, you will not be capable of deal with that a lot weight for each train—it could be too fatiguing. As an alternative, shoot for a wide range of masses and repetition ranges in every exercise. Contreras recommends selecting one or two key (compound, multijoint) workouts, and performing them utilizing a pyramid system (seen under): On your first set, do 8 repetitions utilizing a weight you may elevate not more than 10 instances (about 75 % of your max). On your second set, do 5 reps at 85 %; then do 3 reps at 90 % to your third. On your fourth and fifth units, do 10 and 12 reps, respectively, utilizing weights that exhaust your muscle tissues. Following these pyramid units, do workouts in every of those 4 fundamental motion patterns—squat, deadlift, push (chest or shoulder press), and pull (row, chinup, or pulldown). This time you will use the extra conventional lifting technique of two or 3 units of 8 to 10 reps.

    When you persist with this plan, you will take pleasure in all the advantages of the heaviest lifts with out the beating your joints would take if hoisting main iron had been all you probably did. You need to be very glad together with your outcomes—and, better of all, injury-free.

    The three Issues This Man Did to Lose Physique Fats in Simply 10 Days

    After a snack-heavy interval throughout quarantine, health YouTuber Will Tennyson not too long ago set himself the problem of leaning down as a lot as potential in simply 10 days, and tracked his progress.

    Whereas he often eats 3,000 energy per day, for this mini-cut problem he reduces that consumption to 2,300-2,400. “You need not rely macros,” he says, “simply hit 1 gram of protein per pound of your body weight, get your fiber in, and simply let your carbs and your fats simply fall the place they fall.”

    Having beforehand been intermittent fasting, Tennyson switched to what he calls macro fasting, the place he solely eats protein throughout the day, after which will get his different macros within the night (which he claims makes going out to eat much less of a problem).

    “A beauty of protein macro fasting is that it retains your starvation down all through the day,” he says. “It’s possible you’ll discover that when you will have a carb-heavy meal or simply carbs on the whole, instantly after you eat you are hungry once more, and that is as a result of you will have these large blood sugar spikes. So by sticking to simply protein all through the day, you are conserving the blood sugar spikes minimal, and your starvation is fairly stabilized.”

    Along with altering his food regimen, the second change Tennyson makes is to will increase his each day step rely. On a median day he tries to hit 10,000 steps, however throughout the 10-day problem he ups that focus on to fifteen,000-20,000. “I personally discover strolling to be very efficient and really underrated for fats loss,” he says. “It would not enhance your urge for food, it is easy to recuperate from, and it truly burns a ton of energy.”

    Thirdly, when aiming to lose fats, Tennyson additionally recommends that individuals take note of their non train exercise thermogenesis (NEAT), the vitality we expend throughout our day-to-day habits that do not contain consuming, sleeping and exercising, and discover methods to include bodily exercise into different components of their day, resembling parking additional away from a vacation spot and strolling. “Simply by altering up a number of issues, you’ll be able to burn quite a lot of further energy,” he says. “Over the weeks and months, it makes an enormous distinction.”

  • The Secret of Change

    The Secret of Change

    Working in magazines taught me many issues. I discovered easy methods to edit, develop a narrative thought, and share data in a means that helps individuals take motion. I additionally discovered quite a bit about human psychology primarily based on how we reply to sure phrases and phrases. Specifically, it was all the time fascinating to see how individuals reacted to completely different cowl traces and headlines.

    One of the crucial frequent (and standard) cowl traces for well being magazines is, “Get Again in Form.” It’s standard as a result of it really works. When these phrases seem on the entrance of {a magazine}, extra copies are bought.

    It could appear these phrases translate properly as a result of, in some unspecified time in the future, we’re all simply making an attempt to recapture what we as soon as had, thought we had, or all the time desperately wished.

    Getting again in form comes right down to many steps. However oftentimes when find yourself stressing many pointless particulars, making a easy resolution complicated [for example, check out my new blog on “The Myth of Workout Nutrition”] and dropping the struggle earlier than the battle even begins.

    I favor a less complicated mannequin as a result of it really works. And earlier than you begin stressing the main points you first must determine: Am I a loser or a gainer?

    This has nothing to do with fats loss or the power to pack on power and muscle. And this additionally isn’t a difficulty of gender, hormones, or caloric consumption. That is about change mentality.

    I’m not speaking about some new-age spirituality. It is a primary mindset method that’s invaluable to emphasizing what actually issues. Your success with any program will depend on whether or not you’re specializing in what you’re gaining out of your efforts to enhance your well being or when you concentrate on what you’re dropping.

    Are you worrying about the way you’ll be capable to eat pasta fewer nights per week or specializing in how getting again in form will enhance your total well being, educate you to manage extra components of your life, and finally let you eat extra pasta constantly for the remainder of your life?

    Are you complaining about train, or rejoicing that the work you do now will assist you dwelling longer, probably play a job in making you more cash, bettering the way in which you feel and look, and enabling you to struggle off illness?

    That is change mentality. That is the distinction maker. That is how you actually get again in form. You concentrate on the nice and silence the short-term difficulties or struggles which can be a part of the method.

    When you solely emphasize what you’ll lose, you’ll proceed to have a lesser life in each means doable. Commit to vary and turn into a gainer. Remind your self each single day if mandatory. And the method will turn into simpler. The reward will turn into larger. And your plan will end in success.

    It’s simply step one. Nevertheless it’s an important one you’ll take in your strategy to getting again in form.

    Periodization: How to determine the fitting exercise for you

    The holy grail of unimaginable outcomes meets on the intersection of customized suggestions, confirmed methods, and consistency. With out these variables, you’re unlikely to dramatically rework your physique.

    However, there’s one different variable that’s required, which is most frequently misunderstood or incorrectly utilized: adaptation.

    Shredding fats and constructing muscle is a byproduct of adaptation—however an excessive amount of adaptation means you received’t change. It’s about working that skinny line between difficult your physique and burning them out. Between getting stronger and plateauing.

    One of the best trainers discover that line by utilizing periodization: systematically programming exercise routines over the long run by means of quite a lot of day by day, weekly, month-to-month, and yearly cycles.

    “If we run the identical program on you year-in and year-out, you received’t progress. You’ll truly worsen,” explains Minnesota-based train physiologist Mike T. Nelson, Ph.D., C.S.C.S.

    “As an alternative, wanting over the mesocycle [a larger chunk of time, which typically runs for about a month, made up of smaller microcycles], it’s best to see your purchasers progressing whereas decreasing their fee of perceived exertion. It’s a must to assist them disturb the physique from homeostasis, however enable it to get better by means of applicable manipulation of the Common Adaptation Syndrome [GAS].”

    GAS is informational gasoline for trainers: Damaged down into the alarm, resistance, and exhaustion phases, it describes your physique’s response to emphasize. For optimum outcomes, exercises should shock your physique (the alarm stage) and permit it to adapt to develop into stronger (resistance) with out overtraining (exhaustion).

    Let’s dive into the 2 fundamental periodization fashions—linear and undulating—and tips on how to put them collectively with the intention to establish the kind of plan that may greatest enable you to crush your objectives.

    Linear Periodization: Easy to Comply with, Tried and True

    linear periodization chart
    Picture Supply: Stronger By Science

    The unique type of periodization, linear progressions began as a technique to get high-level athletes prepared for competitors, explains Nick Tumminello, C.P.T., proprietor of Efficiency College in Fort Lauderdale.

    “Trainers requested, ‘What does their efficiency have to appear to be for competitors?’ After which they labored backward. In its purest kind, that’s what periodization comes from.”

    When programming linear plans, trainers manipulate depth or load whereas protecting units and reps comparatively fixed. As an example, a coach might instruct a shopper to carry out three units of 10 bench press reps as soon as per week for a month or two, going up in weight when ready.

    A coach can also have a shopper carry out those self same bench press reps three days per week, lifting with a heavy load on the primary day, medium on the second, and light-weight on the third, Tumminello says.

    Nonetheless, as linear plans originated as a solution to put together athletes for competitors, they usually progress all year long from muscular endurance- and hypertrophy-based schemes to prioritize max power and energy. Depth will increase and quantity decreases each few weeks or months.

    Undulating Periodization: Preserving the Physique Guessing

    Picture Supply: Stronger By Science

    Spin-offs of linear periodization fashions, undulating schemes are primarily based on the idea that linear fashions don’t embody sufficient variations, or undulations, in workload to spur optimum diversifications, Tumminello says.

    So reasonably than solely various masses, additionally they change up units and reps all through the microcycle, normally every day.

    As an example, it’s possible you’ll carry out a power exercise on in the future, a hypertrophy (muscle-building) exercise on the second, and a muscular endurance-based exercise on the third.

    “Every part that goes into every day is related to one adaptation,” Nelson says. “By the course of the week, you promote a variety of diversifications.”

    The Greatest Periodization Mannequin for You

    No single periodization plan is greatest for everybody. Fairly, the fitting mannequin for each p comes all the way down to:

    1. your persona
    2. specificity of your objectives

    Should you’re attempting to get more healthy, lose some extra weight, or acquire purposeful power, the last word objective is adherence.

    In any case, in response to a 2015 Journal of Power & Conditioning Analysis meta-analysis of 17 prior research, each linear and undulating strategies end in comparable will increase in upper- and lower-body muscle power.

    So, which one will you need to follow?

    Should you’re considerably new to coaching (lower than 2 years of constant exercises), it’s normally useful to see progress to assist hold you on monitor and motivated. If this is applicable to you, then a linear plan is perhaps greatest.

    Linear coaching fashions can be the simplest to comply with should you aren’t assembly with a coach or have an accountability system.

    Alternatively, should you get bored simply together with your exercises, undulating fashions can really feel extra attention-grabbing.

    When you’ve got greater than 2 years of constant weight coaching or aggressive objectives, you’re extra prone to profit from undulating plans that combine excessive, medium, and low masses and rep schemes.

    For instance, whereas a 2016 research from CUNY Lehman Faculty discovered that undulating may probably result in superior upper-body will increase in power and muscle development, and an Worldwide Journal of Sports activities Medication research discovered that undulating plans loved higher developments in muscular endurance.

    “Perceive what parameters you are attempting to enhance and concentrate on these,” Nelson says.

    To do this, it’s typically useful to consider each linear and undulating plans as choices at completely different occasions. As an example, Tumminello typically has extra superior purchasers comply with a linear mannequin in a number of “benchmark strikes” like a squat, deadlift, bench press, or rows, and, then, carry out help workout routines (assume isolates strikes like biceps curls) with an undulating scheme.

    Each 4 to 6 weeks, this system, together with benchmark strikes, adjustments. FYI, within the Journal of Power & Conditioning Analysis meta-analysis, research authors emphasised that irrespective of the periodization plan, various the exercise each two to 6 weeks is good for optimum effectiveness.

    That mentioned, issues don’t need to be difficult, and it’s necessary to not over-plan your exercises. Should you’re coaching persistently, working arduous, and enhancing how a lot weight you carry, reps you carry out, units accomplished, or develop into extra environment friendly together with your relaxation durations (or all the above) — that’s when you recognize you’re heading in the right direction and can see outcomes.
