Day 12

So its the start of an other day with some new goals! Im looking to get some sort of sponsorship and have been looking into what it will take to make that happen. The funny part is building the body will be the easy part for, me but getting 2,000 followers on instagram and building a bigger Youtube audience  will be what takes me time.

So far it looks like 5% Nutrition  is the way I want to go, but its going to take some time. So lets go over some other things.

Diet

Right now I really am not on one due to the fact I'm trying to put mass back on. Now this doesn't mean I get to eat everything I want. I still restrict my sugars and do my best to not fill up on carbs. I don't want to look like a gorilla with a muscle gut. I focus on eating my protein which is about 25 grams every two hours when I can, or 200 grams a day. When I work this gets hard to do so, so I go after some basic stuff. Ill get a whole milk bottle for like $0.99 and treat it like a protein shake. Keep in mind even though whole milk contains fat it has a good ratio of fat, carbs, and protein perfect for building muscle as long as you don't over do it.  Bottom line Im an average joe making things work until I can get myself in a position (gym, work, etc) that allows me to focus on it more.

If your like me you have spent hours feeling frustrated and demotivated because you feel like you can't eat or train to reach the goals you want, but ill tell you this. I have seen people with nothing more then their body weight and playgrounds develop bodies that I wouldn't mind having myself, and they did it because they new if they just kept on working at it even when some days just felt like a waste of time that it would happen. Put in the time and you will get results. 

The Workout Program

Here is the part a lot of people get hung up on. Right now what I have to work with as a gym pisses me off because I love to strength train but all I have is a run down apartment gym that has machines that max out at 200 lbs. So here is what Im going to do. first Im going to get myself a garage rented at my apartment and rebuild my in home gym and bring back my old Youtube series that focused on in home training along with DIY gym equipment. Until then here is my craptastic workout breakdown.

MON-cardio

TUES-weight training

WEN-cardio

THURS-weight training

FRI-cardio

SAT-weight training

SUN-weight training

Now when you lack machines or equipment for workout variation here is what you can do to help challenge the body to keep it growing.

(1) Increase the weights. Doing so will challenge the muscle helping them grow as you stronger. Strength training tends to make a muscle denser before it will make it bigger, but over time the muscle will get bigger as it become more solid.  

(2) Increase the sets. If the classic 3 sets of 10 becomes easy make it 4 then 5, and so on. This will increase the volume of weight you move in your workout with will increase the volume of the size of your muscles when done right over time. Search the term hypertrophy training if you want to get into the science of how this works. 

(3) Shorter rest cycles. allow your body to rest less forces it to push harder which can aid in the burning of calories, or train the muscle to increase glycogen storage 

( Fuel stored in the muscles ).

(4)Movement Rest. When you rest between sets keep moving, jog in place. This keeps the heart from slowing down to much which can help you stay primed for the next set, but it is also an other great way to burn off more calories during your weight training. 

All right everyone That it for today, I have ranted enough and will continue to update you as I work towards my goals. I will also try not to fold my blog with my instagram post so please do me a favor and follow me on isntagram.
