Don't forget LEGS!

Training legs is very important and actually vital for upper body growth! Just because you can't show off your legs as much in public as your arms and chest they are still an important body part to train! One reason is because it will give your upper body rest, but keep your body at work! #2 Training legs will keep your body well balanced. You wont look unportioned. People think they can just go to the gym and do bicep curls and get big. NOT THE CASE! IF TRAINING WAS THAT EASY EVERYONE WOULD DO IT! Do your sets of squats, do your rows and split squats! Be sure to hit the hamstrings and glutes! It's never to late to train legs. Sure your body will be sore the next day, but you wont regret it! It's like math you can't solve an equation without first knowing the formula to solve it. Well legs are your formula it's time to start training them.

lift and let the mind go silent

One of the best stress relieves in life is exercise. It's something that is accessible to everyone. You don't need a gym pass you can walk,run do push ups sit ups in your home or outside for FREE! NO CHARGE! people love free stuff right? SO WHY AREN'T PEOPLE DOING IT!? The reason why is because it's just to damn hard. People want to pop a pill and take a drink to get "results" those don't bring results it's a fantasy myth. You have to get the fabricated idea's that have been fed to you and tormenting your mind out of your head. Everyday you are being exposed to new drugs that "work", but do you believe they work? Do you think they are real? Have you ever read the label of these "magic pills?" Once you buy into their products your sold and usually there's no turning back and it becomes a huge money pit and your still not satisfied because your not eating right and filling your body with "drugs" from companies whom are not regulated by the FDA. There is however healthy none chemically compounded supplements such as amino acids and vitamins which come from natural sources. This far out ways the chemicals that people flood into there body unknowing of what the chemicals they are consuming even do or what the side effects are. READ labels before you eat and take supplements and do your research. Just because it's in a bottle doesn't mean it's good for you. Just because it's in a bottle doesn't mean it's going to do "magic".

Start with a Positive Mind

People often seek motivation which there's nothing wrong with it, but remember your wasting time looking at nice pictures with nice quotes. you could be doing your workout now! Everything you need is in your head just go and do it. What's stopping you? YOURSELF! It's your choice to get off the computer and hit the gym, It's your choice to sit on your laptop and eat bad food. You can't blame it on anyone else but yourself. Your health is all on you and no one else! This is why I like fitness you determine what you want to workout, Everyone else that doesn't have their ideal body is just cheating themselves or over doing things. People think they can go to the gym everyday and work the same muscles. You can't! Your not superman you need sleep and you need rest! You need nutrients to keep the body going and healthy otherwise your body will start to dwindle and fatigue. If you don't like working out alone find a friend or if you don't have any just make up a evil twin that constantly tells you that you can't do it. What better way to be motivated than to have someone say your not capable to do it. This is probably the biggest driving force for me. I love telling myself I can't do something then prove myself wrong. It's reverse psychology! Some people quit when they hear negative comments and those are the people that fail in this world! People constantly criticize, judge and hate. That's life feed off that negative energy instead of feeling sorry for yourself. Lots of people feel sorry for themselves and that's why they will never be better than average. That's why they will never be anything more than ordinary. Those are the ones that make excuses, those are the ones that try to tear others down that achieve what they want to be. Now go and get what your worth!

Cardio for a beast

Cardio is a key part to my workouts lately, I typically run a fast paced 2.5 mile run at about 90-80 percent of a sprint. This helps build endurance and will really help lean out the body. I rather do miles over sprints because sprints are harder on the joints and cause more issues with ligaments and muscles. I typically do a 2-4 mile bike ride as well during the day depending on how I feel. I do the bike ride as fast as I can ride, I don't do it to relax or cruise it's fast paced and only takes about 15 minutes to do, so time shouldn't be an issue when biking. The harder you ride the harder you work your leg muscles, it really helps loosen up your legs. I do my cardio before My workouts because it helps you battle fatigue. Doing this will really help with your endurance.

5 tips to gain muscle mass fast

1. The first step is increase your protein intake! Protein is the building block for larger muscles.

2. Increase the weight your using during your workouts, You will want to do less reps and more weight.

3. Do your max weight several reps by doing negatives. You will need a spotter to help you. The idea is going down very slow and having the spotter help you push it up. This will maximize growth and size by forcing the muscle fibers to breakdown and later expand.

4. Drink plenty of water! Water helps with building muscle tissue.

5. Change up your workouts and don't be afraid to go to failure.
