Day 14: Back Day – Confidence

I walked into the gym feeling confident, which for me is huge.  After my rest day, my body had recovered well and I was feeling strong.  For a lifter looking to make some gains, confidence is huge.  It gives you that extra boost you need to push yourself through obstacles, challenges and setbacks to achieve

Day 11: Shoulders

After three good days in the gym, my body was just not ready to go for this workout.  Each weight felt like it had ten pounds added onto it.  I was fighting everything but that’s how it goes in the gym on some days.  The important thing is to get in there, spend some time,

Day 6: Legs – Getting Under the Bar

“I can’t wait to go to the gym and work legs today” – No one ever I’ve been told that legs make up around half of the body.  I’m not a doctor, or good at math, so I’m not sure if this is exactly true or not.  What I can tell you is the truth

Day 5: Shoulders

Today I hit shoulders.  It was one of those workouts where I was dead tired and just wanted to get in and get out.  When you feel like you have no energy, shoulders is a good muscle group to go to because they are smaller and can be activated with lighter weights if done properly.

Day 4: Biceps

Today was gun day.  Every now and then I like to focus a day on the guns and see what kind of pump I can get out of them.  There’s nothing quite like the euphoric of seeing a bicep vein for the first time. For this workout, instead of freestyling it like I normally would,

Day 3: Chest and Abs

Heading into this workout I knew it would going to be a grind.  I was feeling hella stiff from the work I had put in the day before.  I had gotten barely any sleep at night and walked into the gym a zombie.  On days like these you just gotta throw the headphones and rely

Day 2: Back Day

Some people refer to the back as the legs of the upper body.  Basically they mean it’s a shitty part of the body to train because it isn’t chest or arms.  But I love back day, it’s my favourite body part to work out and thus it’s pound for pound my strongest muscle group.  Working

The Importance of Vision and Goals

Today I want to touch on something that one of my greatest idols always talks about, and that is the importance of a vision and goal. “Why do you want to work out, what is your goal.  The most important thing is that you have a vision, that you have a goal.  Because without that

Day 1 FTB (For the Blog)

I’ve been hitting the gym hard for the past four weeks but honestly I’ve been feeling like shit.  I treated the past four weeks as a foundation phase.  This phase is when you get your body ramped back up for the intense workouts after some time off.  I think there’s some saying out there that

Writing a Fitness Blog: 4 things I’ve learned so far

1)Walk before you run. LEARN BLOGGING BASICS Writing a fitness blog is no different than any other personal blog really. But before you change the world with your fitness knowledge, you must first learn how you can get the knowledge that’s in your head, onto the blog effectively.  As an amateur blogger myself I won’t
