Full body workouts the best option for the average working person

 In today's article, we are going to talk about full-body workouts in relation to building muscle. Before you start any workout program the first thing you should ask your self is in what ways can I make my workouts effective and also to ensure that you are consistent with it because without consistency overtime you will not get the results that you want , furthermore there is a high likelihood that you will stop after some time. 

My day usually starts at 5:30am in the morning rush to prepare and set out to go to work to avoid early morning rush hour traffic then once you get to work you work till 5pm then you struggle back home in heavy traffic. With a schedule like that Monday to Friday it would be difficult to start a split workout program where you are training different body parts in different pays with such a life because with a split body routine your body will be in a constant phase of recovery and you feel tired all the time. Another problem you might face with split body workout is that you may hit a body part probably just once a week.

However, with a full body workout you're hitting every body part, as well as a good HIT cardio for your body. Again your entire body is working in unison so there is a small chance of muscle imbalance, then also once you recover your whole body will recover and you will be ready to hit the weights again. Finally, with the full-body workout, you can hit the body parts multiple times in a week but at a moderate weight.

Here is a video from the first man to build 21-inch arms drug-free explaining full body workout Leroy Colbert

What months are considered part of the spring season in the US

 

When do seasons start ? First of all lets define what a season is. According to Merriam webmaster dictionary a  season is a time characterized for by a particular  circumstance or feature.

Again Astrologist and meteorologist define  seasons differently. Put simply to astrologist  a seasons starts is based on the position of the earth in relation to the sun. Whiles Meteorologist the start of a season is based on  temperature and the 12 months in the calendar of the year.

Seasons  start on the first of the month and normally start on the first of the month and last for three months. So spring starts in march and ends in June.  In spring day and night are approximately 12 hours long.

Another thing to remember is that in the northern Hemisphere the march equinox begins when the crosses the equator line and this marks the start of spring in march which ends in June because the United states is in the northern hemisphere. Therefore the months that are considered part of the spring season in the US is March to June.

Mind Muscle Connection

Today lets look at something that is key to training when you in the gym lifting weights and that is mind muscle connection. Basically mind muscle connection is putting your attention on the muscle you are working on and making sure that you feel the burn and tension on the muscle your building.
With this in mind we all have different body types and structures therefore not all exercises will enable you feel the tension within the muscles your trying to grow. For instance when doing calve raises i feel the burn and muscle tension done when i try to do a deep squat which tends to put pressure on my joints than rather working the actual leg muscles, now do note that this my experience for someone else squats work perfect for the person and that is okay.
Another key to this is focusing on form and using a weight you can handle. Now there is no point in picking up a heavy weight and swinging it about to look impressive for people around you because at the end of the day your cheating yourself and are not building any muscle at all, what you are doing instead with the heavy weight is tiring your joints.Remember your body does not know if it is lifting 20kg dumbbell or 50kg dumbbell all it know is that your lifting something and that something is causing it to feel tension if the tension or stress is too much for it breaks down and rebuilds itself to be stronger to handle that sort of load the next time.

MUSCLE RECOVERY


When we go to the gym and lift those heavy weights we are actually tearing and breaking our muscles down. The growth of muscles happens when your are resting and recovering.
Now when you rest you must give your body the necessary raw materials to engage in the repair and rebuild process. So after your workout you should be getting in your protein and carbs.
Protein is core to building muscle and without protein you would have total muscle collapse.
You also need to get in your amino acids such as glutamine, gluatamine is great as it helps the body to recover but did you know that 60% of your muscle is made up of glutamine and glutamine also helps your immune systems white blood cells. Another aspect of recovery is getting quality sleep and trying to reduce your stress levels as much as possible. Oh and on last thing do not train your muscles to the point where you feel the soreness and pain for days other wise you body will use all its resources to repair and restore the muscle but you it will not build additional muscle mass.

Muscles Journey the begining

Todays post is about my experience with weight training and building muscle . The expectations and the reality.  When i started lifting weight the guys i trained with were big and buff and i was wanted to look  like them.  I keep training but realized i started gaining a bit of muscle but i did not look like them. It started to make me frustrated like damn what happening  i want to be big. Yes with consistent training and hardwork i did get big over time maybe not like them but according to my bodies makeup. So the take home lessons are :


1.) Train with a purpose greater than trying to impress someone with your muscles else you will quit too early


2.) Accept and love your body as it is this will make you realize and accept that  everybody's results will be different  even if two people do the exact same exercise. For instance imagine someone the wrestler the big show who want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime. It really impossible. This difference is the beauty of life there is infinite variety so do not worry about such trival things

3.) Never give up because once you quite you have geniunly failed
