Wally's BIO

When exercising, treat every repetition as if it's the only one you'll do, ensuring it's effective enough to make a difference. Quality over quantity is key—it's not about how many repetitions you complete, but how effective each one is. Maximize your workout time by following proven, sports-science-backed methods, especially if you're not a competitive athlete.

I have mastered the techniques of negative and isometric training, foundational for building strength and used worldwide by professional athletes and martial arts masters like Bruce Lee. This approach, also employed by physical therapists albeit differently, is a nearly lost art. Through it, we've successfully enabled many who struggled with basic exercises like push-ups or pull-ups to perform hundreds in a short workout session.

My training is deeply influenced by a lifetime of dedication to fitness, starting with childhood exercises inspired by my father, a 3x AAU Gold Medalist and 2x U.S. Amputee Golf Champion, and 13x southern states. 

I've also learned from advanced training systems like the Nautilus Circuit Training system instructed by Gary S., who worked with Dr. Arthur Jones in Deland, Florida.

Fitness pioneers such as Charles Atlas, who introduced "Dynamic Tension" (isometrics) in the 1950s, Jack LaLanne, known as "the godfather of fitness" by Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Bruce Lee's routines have all shaped my methods, skills, passion and drive!

One key piece of advice for effective workouts is mental and physical preparation. You don't need to spend hours in the gym—what's crucial is: consistency, intensity, proper form, and diet. Before performing a set, I mentally visualize and physically position each muscle group. This preparation ensures I'm fully engaging and contracting my muscles to maximize the impact of every repetition.

My definition:

Proper body mechanics should be adhered to, TO A POINT.

As an example: Everyone cannot squat down so their thighs are parallel to or just past parallel to the floor; plus humans have various body structure and ability.

So, PROPER FORM is NOT the ‘BOOK’ form. Perfect for YOU is WHAT WILL NOT HURT YOU & WHAT YOU ARE PHYSICALLY ABLE TO DO. 

So long as body alignment during the movement WILL NOT HURT THE BODY, and it engages the proper muscles; THEN WE ARE PROPER / PERFECT.
