Newman and Wright

James Newman and Nick Wright

One day out from James’ Muscle Beach Championship competition.

(Where he took First Place Middleweight!)

Nick Wright’s first trip to Muscle Beach Venice was sponsored by Big Back Grips for Labor Day Championships. And we sponsored James Newman’s appearance on stage. So it made sense to get them together for a “1-Day Out workout at our home gym, Metroflex Long Beach, just south of Los Angeles.

James could not have had better guidance on his last pre-show workout than Nick. Scroll down to their approach to working lats, chest, bi’s, tri’s and abs. You’ll notice James uses Big Back Grips for everything. (And not because we sponsor him. We sponsor him because he uses Big Back Grips for everything.) Pay special attention to how he uses them for abs, and especially on cables. James doesn’t care for handles on cables, just the bar cable and ball and a BBG in his hand.

So check out the workout on the day before James took First Place Middleweight at Muscle Beach Venice!
