I just realised that I can blog while on the go, as well as while I'm idle and waiting. Maybe then I wouldn't be so lazy to update this page and excuse myself with gaming and drama series and youtube.
Anyway once again im off gym. Finding no motivation at all, other than the occasional sadness of losing the definition as the weeks go by.
Trying to convince myself to get back on track this week.. let's see how it goes. :(
It teaches the very basics of human muscle and skeletal anatomy and give some advice of exercises to target the various muscle groups. The series starts of with legs which is really great as it is by far the best muscle group to train in order to see growth (also often the most neglected).
Basically these videos visualise the long detailed articles that we read on fitness sites or magazines and makes it more entertaining to learn and educate ourselves in the body's muscle functions.
Ideal for both guys and girls to learn from, the first half will feature Craig and the second half of the series features Jen their female model.
If you're looking to put on size and mass, compound movements are the way to go. Exercises that use multiple joints to complete a movement. Squats, Bench Press, Deadlifts, Pullups, Bent over Rows.
Heavy weights coupled with a calorie surplus and you'll see yourself gaining size.
Other than fitness, I'm also interested in fashion.
I thought it'll be nice to share my likes and preferences when it comes to male and sometimes female fashion. If you share similar interest or you're looking to find out more about dressing up, I get a lot of my inspirations from Pinterest.
Feel free to follow me at my pinterest account. I also post other things like fitness pictures, "artsy" pics, pictures of celebrities who I think are good looking and dress well and fashion/hairstyle inspirations.
Thought it might be a good change from fitness related articles, gotta find a good mixture and balance in life eh :D
I've decided to start a new "series" on videos I have come across on YouTube or any other fitness sites that shares good information about health and fitness or motivation.
While I have spent hours browsing through all the videos online and from my subscriptions on YouTube, I thought it would be good to share and sort of act as a filter for the more important stuff available online so you wouldn't have to waste the same amount of time to look for similar information.
I also felt that videos can sometimes help explain things better than words.
It can also show you the kind of fitness content that I have adopted and deem beneficial for myself.
I will also be doing a post on the YouTube Channels that I subscribed to, in case you are interested to find out what are the available information out there that others have shared.
So to start this "series" off, here's the first video from Michael Kory's youtube channel on Macro Nutrients (diet information)
I decided to share this because I'll be starting to track my macronutrients more closely in hopes of gaining more lean mass and in the future try a cutting diet to get below 10% body fat.
I took a week off gym, let my body rest. Feeling so much better now. Just did a Full Body routine today to mark the end of the 1 week rest, I think it's becoming a pattern for me, after 8-12weeks of working out my body will start to plateau and tire out.
I guess the take away from this is to remember that rest is important. Your muscles and body don't grow during the workouts, it's only after that when you are resting that your body repairs itself and you start growing.
