The Contemporary Man Magazine june 2018

The Contemporary Man THE MISSION: is Hoping to become one of the world's most popular men's lifestyle magazine. includes monthly features on subjects such as fashion, fitness, dating, money and entertainment. Tips from style on choosing a new suit to workout advice on modernizing tired fitness routines complement editorial features on relationships, finance and entertainment. It is my life’s mission to transform the lives of MEN through my programs and books as well through my information online. I want to see you succeed. Words such as honor, loyalty, trust, integrity, and courage are words that have powerful meanings, but they are only words unless you live by them. As I talk with other men, I can see that there is a massive need for learning how to be a better father. But I’ve also seen a need for reliable and honorable men outside of the home. Guys, we’re losing the meaning of manhood. We’ve gone away from being reliable, rugged, independent, and tough to a collection of wimpy, dependent, whiners. Something has got to be done! “Some say there is no such thing as an Alpha made Man’s man. That nothing can be accomplished in life without the help of others. That a man cannot reach his goals without assistance. And while that may be true, these people are not the source or the cause of his success. A man becomes an Alpha made the moment he decides to shape his world, rather than be formed by it. It is a spark… A decision… An internal will that can never be given by another and that can never be purchased or borrowed. At that moment, he becomes the sole architect and artist of his life - an Alpha made Man’s man, where the rest of the world serves as the hammer and chisel he wields in order to shape it to his desire. The Contemporary Man was created for men who want to achieve greatness. Who wants to leave their mark on the world, and create a legacy of honor, integrity, and achievement in every aspect of their lives.” -Travis S. Miller Editor-in-Chief/Founder of the Contemporary Man.

Pyramid Training<br />

Pyramids have been around for as long as, well, the pyramids. <strong>The</strong>re are different<br />

versions of pyramid sets.<br />

Ascending Pyramids: Increase the weight with each set while you decrease the amount<br />

of reps.<br />

Set 1: 12-15 reps<br />

Set 2: 10-12 reps<br />

Set 3: 8-10 reps<br />

Set 4: 4-6 reps<br />

By starting light and adding weight with each set, you’re well warmed-up before you get<br />

to the heavier weights. So it’s a safe way to train. Increasing the load with each set,<br />

called “ramping,” also wakes up your nervous system so it can assist with the heavier<br />

loads. This is a great system for getting stronger.<br />

Descending Pyramids: Decrease the weight with each set as you increase the<br />

amount of reps.<br />

A drawback with ascending pyramids is you only do one “all out” set. But for maximum<br />

hypertrophy, working until failure is a powerful tool. As such, you may want to keep your<br />

muscles near failure for longer to elicit the greatest growth response. Enter the<br />

descending pyramid.
