Beast beach

Abandoned? NEVER!!!

Sorry fitness freaks, I have been a little ore occupied of late organizing, cross promoting and generally being busy, so I haven't posted for a while. 

What have I been up too?

I now have a new pupil, female this time, and a different kettle of fish compared to my previous pupil. She's already quite slim, she eats relatively good but hasn't exercised for 6 or so years.

Yep we're back to the beginning here. But a challenge that I will keep you all posted on non the less. 

Beast Beach! This had been great so far, two sessions in already and I have puked from one if the exercises!! Woohoo this has been an ultimate goal somewhere along the line, to spew from an exercise. 

I did a supplement review a week ago, HYPHY mud. Wow ah, talk about a caffeine high! This was interesting, but will most probably not cross my path again. 

My own journey continues and I have changed my path back to heavy lifting, and with more leg, to grow them big and strong. It's too easy to work the upper body and neglect the legs, I have a bit of catch up to do. 

So I'll leave you with a tip to use this week. 

If you are time poor for a session at the gym, consider suicide sets (drop sets with little rest). Run the rack or move the pin, start heavy and try for 3-4 reps and then rest 5-10 seconds and drop the weight and go again, slowly gaining in reps. I guarantee that by the end if you have done them right, the smallest weight will feel as heavy as what you started on. 

Supplement review!

Ok so... My brother hooked me up to a YouTube clip from a beast named Kali. 

It was the instruction, no wait, tu-tor-rial!, for a concoction called... HYPHY MUD!

Ultimately it is a backyard preworkout mix, simple ingredients, instant coffee and coke. (The soda not the powder)

So of course I wanted to try this out. 

But, it is not something that I will continue with. I'm keen to see if it actually works and how well it works (as well as noting any side effects. )

So either look at the clip (which is hilarious wHAOP!) or follow these instructions. 

1.one can of coke (not zero or caffeine free)

2.mix 4-6 heaped teaspoons or table spoons of instant coffee. 

3.stir, let sit for a couple. Then drink, and sip through workout. 

Protein!

First up, sorry for being away from a good post for so long. 

Ok, so a few weeks have passed now where I have found myself having to take 2 rest days, AND I struggled to get out of bed in the mornings, preferring an evening session instead. 

What was the missing factor?

What was making me so tired?

It turned out that after a bit of experimenting and testing, it turns out to be as simple as protein. 

I've been without my protein supplements for a little while now, just cost of other things taking priority. So my body has taken more time to recover from workouts than usual. 

I have kept my protein intake as high as possible by other means, steak dinners and stacks of tuna in lunches etc. But the protein supplementation that I had been used to that got me through a 6 day training week and waking with vigor each morning was no longer there. 

So the answer and solution?

Simples, get some protein powder. But when I can afford it. In the mean time, I need to increase my protein per meal again, to keep up in the mean time. 

Tuna chunks in a can are fairly cheap per serve and offer aminos and good protein. So watch out woollies, I'm coming for your tuna supplies!

Weekend Pump UP!!! Music and thoughts.

As I sit, listening to Kanye West's album, and rest my tweaked back (yes, I tweaked it again 2 days ago) I get energised for Sunday.

Resting sucks but there is no point in visiting the gym to not be able to give 100%!

So I'm spending my time searching for new gym music. This one is a definite to go on the playlist.

Tomorrow is a new day, and what has transpired in the week before means nothing. The future is where changes are made!

So if you have been slack. Not given 100% in the past... don't stress. Leave that to the past. Make Future YOU responsible for fixing it! then make sure the YOU of the present keeps those commitments.
