I hope all of you had an excellent Christmas and New Year’s! January is a great month for any gym, and at Metroflex Gym ofPlanowe are happy to welcome a lot of new faces into the Metroflex Plano family as well as continue to house and provide for our hard working member base as they set new year’s goals and resolutions for 2012. 2012 is without a doubt going to be a great year for this gym and the people in it!
We are starting the year out right with a charity event and seminar hosted here at Metroflex Plano. The charity is the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), and the event is at the gym THIS SATURDAY at 2pm! Metroflex Plano decided to team up with the MDA because of the connective contrast the two organizations possess. At Metroflex Plano most of our members are all trying to put on muscle, and lots of it. Muscular Dystrophy is a genetic disease that eats away at people’s lean muscle tissue, sometimes going as far as leaving them too weak to stand up, blink, or breathe. We have named our charity “Flex For Muscular Dystrophy”, to play upon the idea that Metroflex Plano members are doing their part to help people that genetically can’t enjoy the same passion we have for strength, power and muscle. So be sure to help us FLEX for Muscular Dystrophy this Saturday, January 21st at 2pm!
We will be hosting a seminar including Metroflex Plano owner and Personal Trainer Greg McCoy, National Level Bodybuilder and Personal Trainer Jeff Dwelle, Owner of IntenseMuscle.com and Online Trainer Skip Hill, and Mr. USA Steve Kuclo. This expert panel will be discussing all things training, nutrition, supplementation and more, and we promise not to leave until ALL your questions are answered. We will also have several vendors out helping us raise money for the MDA and offering their products for purchase at the event.
How can you help us raise money?! Well you can attend the event this Saturday! It costs $10 at the door and all proceeds will go to the MDA. You can also purchase on of our FLEX for Muscular Dystrophy T-shirts for $20 at the event or at MetroflexPlano.com. All proceeds from T-Shirt sales also go directly to the MDA. Lastly we will be accepting personal donations to give to the MDA. You can contact Greg McCoy or Tawna Eubanks about making a personal donation to the MDA (greg@metroflexplano.com, tawna@metroflexplano.com)
Muscular Dystrophy is a very serious genetic disease that affects many, and can severely limit a person’s life and can even lead to death if the disease affects the muscle of the heart and lungs. There is no cure for Muscular Dystrophy and money is needed for research and care. Please join us for a great day at Metroflex Plano raising money for a great cause!
Bodybuilders, like many gym goers, are constantly seeking out new ways to improve their routines, shock new muscle growth, and push themselves to the extreme day in and day out. However, in every gym in every city, guys are ignoring a huge opportunity to shock their muscles like never before. While methods like negatives and forced reps have been used for years, bodybuilders tend to focus more on simple drop sets or negatives without a partner to assist. The following will explain why it is vital to incorporate more forced reps and negatives into your routine and see an immediate increase in muscle growth!
