Age is truly a matter of what state you are in bs a numerical assessment figure. Just imagine 30 years from now what you want to be able to do, feel, travel to? That also is enough to motivate you.

Bodybuilding isn’t easy...

A lot of the time you’re sore, tired, and you’re diet is fairly strictly regulated. It’s the unfortunate truth of the sport that a lot of people don’t really talk about. In order for hypertrophy (muscle growth) to occur, you have to be pushing yourself constantly, and as a natural athlete, that typically causes soreness of some sort. The byproduct of pushing yourself that hard causes you to be tired and in order to recover from your workout you need to be properly feeding yourself. It isn’t exactly a glamorous life all the time. But, at the end of the day, for me anyways, it’s all worth it because I get to see what I am made of. I get to see how far the body truly will allow me to go.

For all my #WeekendWarriors out there, here is a little tip when doing hamstrings! . If you’re anything like me, you too have difficulties activating/feeling your hamstrings work. The question is, what can be done ? 🤔 . Well, here is the answer. I prefer a lying hamstring but any variation will do. Essentially, the goal is to slowly control the concentric and eccentric parts of the motion. Additionally, using your hand to touch your hamstring while you doing the movement will help tons! . Give this a try! ☺️ #HappyLifting (at GoodLife Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpcseUTHOhj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uio1pp8vb8qi

Lets talk about food, on this wonderful #FoodFriday . So, the picture is of a banana and a fibre bar... although the both contain carbohydrates (which is excellent for pre- and post-workout) there is a difference between the types. . Within the banana you’ll find very natural occurring sugars (also known as easy digesting carbs) whereas in the bar you’ll find more fibre and starch (slower digesting carbs) with limited quantities of sugar. Both are extremely beneficial. . Personally, I like take something more fibre-y before my workout and something more sugary post workout in order to ensure that I a) have enough energy throughout my workout and b) can easily refill my glycogen stores post workout! .

What I want to focus on is the technique being used. . What I am doing is a lateral raise with both arms at the same time (bilateral). Once I’ve deemed myself unable to continue, what I do is switch from bilateral to unilateral (one time at a time) to help extend the set and get more work in! .
