My workout today was really good, I started the same workout I did last week. It is even better second time around because now I know what exercises to do and I can get momentum.

What I listened to in the gym really is 80% of what motivates me, today I listened to some Paramore and the new DJ Khaled album.

I was feeling good in the gym and I am looking better in the mirror.....

Here is my workout:

Chest, Shoulders, Abs

Flat bench dumbbell chest press 3 sets x 12-15 repetitions

Incline dumbbell chest press 3 sets x 12-15 repetitions
Dumbbell side lateral raises 3 sets x 10-12 repetitions
Decline crunches or regular flat bench crunches 3 sets x 20-30 repetitions
5 Mins of moderate cardio

It was a good workout today, I feel good and happy.

Good Morning Friends!

I am excited for the weather this week it will be in the 60s starting tommorow.

So I will start by saying I hate 'Springing' foward the clocks, man yesterday flew by anyone agree?

I woke up this morning at 5am which is 4am :) thanks for my Boo waking me up.

When I got up this morning.  I did something a little different I took my L-Glutamine first thing instead of right when I go to bed.

Benefits of L-Glutamine

• One of the most important benefits of L-Glutamine, particularly for those who want to build muscle, is its ability to slow the rate of muscle breakdown.
• This results in increased strength and endurance during intense exercise, meaning that you can lift heavier weights, longer, and train more often. This anti-catabolic effect is one of the most important glutamine benefits.
• By preserving muscle tissue, glutamine also enhances your ability to burn fat.  
• However, when losing weight, we often lose muscle as well. The ability to slow this muscle loss is another of the glutamine benefits. 
• Another fat burning benefit of l-glutamine is that it may act to suppress appetite.
• Intense training puts stress not only on your muscles, but also on your immune system as well. Glutamine helps your body to recover more efficiently after a workout.

I love this supplement and I think it really does help my body, whats great is it is a natural Amino Acid.

Workout
Today was a 'get back on track from the weekend' workout..Taking the Glutamine in the AM gave me a little more engergy and I started my workout with a good run about 10 mins (almost did a mile)

I only did a few exercise for chest and I did 4 reps of  315lbs, which is 3 - 45lbs on each side.

I felt good today, after my workout I did get really tired but I think it was the lack of sleep.

My Goal tonight is to go to bed early :)

Thanks for reading....Is anyone out there?

Thursday's Workout 3/11

Hello Again!

Well today was the last day of my new workout. I have to say it was a good workout overall, it focuses on the entire body.

I think the point of the routine was to burn calories and maintain muscle and thats what it does. Today I really worked legs and they are already getting sore.

I also went back to my original pre-workout supplement and I was pumped before the gym...Muslce Tech NO Vapor gives me the feeling Stacker 2 did 10 years ago. If you take it you really have to workout otherwise you will be messed up.

Here was the workout:

Day three: Triceps, Legs, abs
5 mins warmup on the treadmill
(Circuit # 1)
Triceps cable pushdowns 3 sets x 12-15 repetitions
Leg extensions 3 sets x 15-20 repetitions
Seated or standing calve raises 3 sets x 20-30 repetitions
5 Mins on the bike
(Circuit#2)
Bench dips or dumbbell kickbacks 3 sets x 15-20 repetitions
Dumbbell alternating step lunges 3 sets X 10 repetitions
Dumbbell stiff legged dead lifts 3 sets x 12-15 repetitions
5 mins of Jump rope and a steady pace
(Circuit # 3)
Leg press (Light) 3 sets x 15-20 repetitions
Dumbbell single leg calve raises 3 sets x 15 repetitions
Abdominals (your choice) 3 sets x 20-30 repetitions
Finished with 5 mins on the treadmill

The funny thing is the workout had 2 Calve exercises and if you seen my calves you know I do not need anymore muscle in them hahahah but I did them anyway and I caught a few people looking at my calves hahahah my calves are definetly jacked.

It was a good 3 days (at the gym) and my body is feeling it.

I have another workout I will try next week, but I will definelty use this one again (maybe with different exercises)

Wednesday 3/10 Summary

Good Morning / Good Afternoon Friends!

Today in the gym was day 2 of my new circuit routine, I felt like I could be doing more but I did sweat alot.

So far so good with the workout, I am doing exercises I have not done before i.e Sumo Squat (look it up)

Also today I started taking a new Pre Workout supplement called TRAC by MHP. TRAC is a creatine supplement but it does not have the sugar that will make you retain water.

After taking it I did not have the same energy as I did with MuscleTech NO Vapor and I felt bloated. I usually like the MHP products. I will try it one more time.

Here was my routine today

Day Two: Back, Biceps, Legs
5  Minute warmup on the Treadmill

(Circuit # 1)
Dumbbell rows 3 sets x 12-15 repetitions
Dumbbell pullovers 3 sets x 12-15 repetitions
Sumo squats 3 sets x 15-20 repetitions
5 Minutes on the bike
(Circuit #2)
Cable lat. Pull downs 3 sets x 12-15 repetitions
Low cable rows 3 sets x 12-15 repetitions
Cable curls 3 sets x 10-12 repetitions
5 Minutes on the treadmill
(Circuit #3)
Dumbbell hammer curls 3 sets x 10-12 repetitions
Bent over dumbbell rows 3 sets x 12-15 repetitions
Hyperextensions 3 sets x 15 repetitions
5 Minutes on the bike

Like I said, I felt like I could be doing more but I am following the routine.

Tommorow is Day three: Triceps, Legs, abs
I am excited to do legs :)

Thanks again!

Tuesday 3/9

Yo the greatest rapper died on March 9th, Son!

HAHAHA This blog is not about Hip Hop legends but about my journey to become this:

 Looks like me right? : )

Today I started another new Circuit this one I found when I was researching online, here is Day 1

I am trying to find the right routine for me.

Chest, Shoulders, Abs

(Circuit #1)
Flat bench dumbbell chest press 3 sets x 12-15 repetitions
Dumbbell military press 3 sets x 10-12 repetitions
Reverse crunches 3 sets x 20-30 repetitions
5 Mins of moderate cardio
(Circuit #2)
Incline dumbbell chest press 3 sets x 12-15 repetitions
Dumbbell side lateral raises 3 sets x 10-12 repetitions
Decline crunches or regular flat bench crunches 3 sets x 20-30 repetitions
5 Mins of moderate cardio
(Circuit #3)
Pec. deck or dumbbell flies 3 sets x 15 repetitions
Dumbbell front shoulder raises 3 sets x 12 repetitions
Dumbbell shrugs or oblique crunches 3 sets x 20 repetitions
10-15 Mins of moderate cardio
 
After the workout my muscles were not that tired but I think the point is the burn calories and maintain not big more muscle.

The routine is only 3 days so I will try it this week with 2 days of cardio.

I have a long way to go..Damn. Maybe I should set a deadline on when I want to achieve my goal. Like Julie and Julia hahaha

Thanks for the support!

Monday 3/8

Good Morning Friends!


Man what a morning at the gym.

As soon as I woke up I felt "off"...I didn't do laundry so I did have my favorite gym cloths (ones that Don’t make me look as fat) hahaha.

I put on some shorts that I haven't wore in awhile good news they fit now, but there is no elastic just the string, so during my workout they keep sliding down and showing my butt crack. My stupid sweater was tight at the hips which made me uncomfortable. I was also unhappy with how I looked in the mirror.

The weird part my mood in a instance went from depressed to FURIOUS in the gym...I was so angry I wanted to punch machines, spit in peoples faces and I was using weight way too heavy and almost hurt my back.

Even as I type this I get angry hahaha...Man I hate mornings like that just feeling frustrated and uncomfortable.

My workout was all over the place…I did exercises for Chest then Back and 1 shoulder exercise, there was not routine. I did cardio 5 mins at a time and even that was a mess.

These days suck……Did I say that already?

Anyway at least I went to the gym, I hope tomorrow I am coordinated better and I feel more confident.

P.S. I am throwing those shorts out, unless someone wants my 50s ijs hahaha.

Thanks for reading.
