Faster Stronger Wiser: Body Weight Blast 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781511923835)

My name is Glenn Payne Jr. I am the creator of Faster Stronger Wiser. I began my fitness journey early in my life. As a child I took gymnastics, dance classes, karate and boxing. When I grew older I dedicated all of my fitness life to basketball. Basketball led me to a semiprofessional playing career in Dallas, Texas for the United Basketball League and a brief stint with the American Basketball Association. In my first pro season I dislocated my knee and I was sidelined for the next year. I didn't have any medical insurance, and my team could only cover a small amount of my medical expenses. I was forced to learn how to rehab myself to comeback to basketball, or be physically fit ever again. As I healed I studied kinesiology, physical therapy, and alternative methods of healing. I began to study other sports, so that I could absorb the strengths from these sports and apply them to my recovery. I developed a love for boxing and mixed martial arts over the time that I was injured. The training involved in these sports seemed to be designed just for my life. I began to study physical fitness practices every day. I would make it a point to learn how all muscles worked, and how to strengthen them. My studies taught me how to strengthen myself in ways I have never known. I made a full recovery and my athletic ability was better than before my injury. My teammates saw my transformation, and they began to ask me to train them for the season. This eventually led me into a career as a certified personal trainer. I received my first personal training certification in 2011 from the National Exercise and Strength Training Association, and this solidified my new career path as a fitness specialist. I eventually left semiprofessional basketball and returned back to California to focus more on my fitness career. I developed boot camps, and became a boxing instructor. Over the course of my fitness career I pinpointed the reason for my physical success. It was a daily dedication to training. I literally work out every day. I believe strongly that daily exercise (no matter how intense) provides the best results, and you can never reach a physical limit. Plateaus are a myth to me because there is always a way to overcome a plateau. This belief is why I named my fitness style Faster Stronger Wiser.
