Stay hungry, stay motivated, stay focused and have a whole lot of fun!

Wow, you squeezed a lot into that workout! That's like a whole chest, back, shoulder and arm blast! Just sent you a detailed email which I think you'll like.

 

Let's talk about how long you've been at it in the gym and see if we can switch some of those machine and cable exercises to barbells and dumbbells if you're comfortable doing so. I still use a combination of everything, but I try to make the majority of lifts, especially for large muscle groups, completed on barbells and dumbbells.

 

With my current program, I'm only using barbells and dumbbells, no machines at all, so naturally I'm quite enthusiastic about that kind of training, but let's talk about what you're comfortable with, what you have access too, etc. Machines and cables can be great too, but let's squeeze in some more compound, free-weight lifts. I like the brief cardio and push-ups. That's how I like to roll too. A lot of people don't take the time to warm up their heart, lungs, joints and muscles and end up getting hurt as a result. I've done that many times myself and have learned the hard way. Nice to see you warming up before getting into the workout.

 

All the best tomorrow!

 

Go get it!

Nice!

 

I would also look into Bill Phillip's Body-For-LIFE program. That is what got me into bodybuilding more than 10 years ago and the program worked brilliantly.

 

I still suggest it to people all the time. It's all about training upper body one day, cardio the next, lower body the following day, cardio the next, back to upper, then rest. Then in the next week it's twice lower body and once upper body. The workouts are specific and timed as well to be 52 or 46 minutes, if I recall correctly.

 

They also advocate, as do I, eating 6 meals a day with protein, fats and carbs at each meal, if possible (though I eat fruit alone, all the time).

 

That cardio after weights is awesome at burning fat too, so I am glad you picked that up from the email. If you look into Body-For-LIFE you'll see that in their cardio sessions which are only 20 min I believe, you change your level of intensity each minute.

 

You give it a level 5 effort for the first two min to warm up, then a 6 for a minute, then 7, then 8, 9 and 10, all out for a minute, then back down to 5 for 2 min to recover, and repeat.

 

I'm going to incorporate that soon, when I do cardio sessions. I don't do much cardio now because I'm looking to bulk up and add all the fat and muscle I want, but cardio in general, keeps my heart and lungs healthy and fit so that's good.

 

All the best with your next workout! Glad you'll be spending a lot of time on barbells and dumbbells! Be sure to spend a good amount of time warming up and stretching. I stretch for a significant portion of my workout these days.

 

Enjoy!

Nice!

 

I like the idea of "getting some form of exercise in" when you're otherwise very busy. I do the same. There are often unique opportunities to fit something in, even if it is just means running from point A to B, or doing calf raises while standing in line, or push-ups in between social gatherings or meals, and so on.

 

Welcome back to the gym. Nice to see some free weights in there too.

 

Enjoy that Vega! Oranges and Vega are often how I start my day, including today.

 

Have a great one!

Nice work. How was your weekend?

 

How do your lifts compare to teh previous weeks? You going up in weight or adjusting rep range?

 

Using anything specific fore pre-workout like fruit, lemon water, supplements or anything like that?

 

Hope all is awesome. Keep up the great, consistent work. That is how results are created, through consistency and adaptation.

 

Enjoy your week! Check the mail tomorrow.
