Progress July-September

20:25 Fitness 2021 0 Comments

During the winter vacation in June/July I decided to do research on how to get the best results in the shortest period of time. I came across alot of opinions and expert suggestions on the net. It was during this period that I found www.simplyshredded.com, a site which interviews top and up and coming individuals in the fitness industry. I was very inspired to train harder so that sooner rather than later I will also have a physique that resembles that of the ancient Spartans and zulu warriors. One such individual was Joseph rakich who also went from being tiny to a lean ripped guy with some of the most cut abs I have ever seen. He some how manages to gain lean mass and maintain a low body fat while doing so.


 I also wanted to gain muscle without gaining too much body fat, but before I could maintain I had to bulk up first before even thinking about maintaining because all I had was a frame and I still needed to build my structure. I had always loved eating and never gained weight, but this time I was going to eat more than usual so that my caloric intake was high to allow for me to gain weight.

At the end of july when vac ended I decided to workout 4 days a week. Mondays I would do biceps and triceps, tuesday chest, wednesday shoulders, friday back and legs (only trained legs 1 time every 2 weeks). I used thursdays and weekends for rest. This schedule worked nicely, I felt I got the most from my workout if I concerntrated on specific body parts each day. I spent between and hour and an hour and a half at most in the gym. I lost 2 kg during vac because I was not using weights but quickly gained 3 kg in august. Progress was slow after july, the gains were not as big but the hardness and tightness of the muscle was noticable.
