Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[WesCrook]

I'm just going put this out here.....


I was a sick a couple weeks back, so I couldnt gym for two weeks...

Went from 220lbs to 211lb.

One major take away I took from being sick is, you can only eat foods, that you're supposed to when you're sick, otherwise you're at risk of throwing up or not progressing....

To this had me thinking my diet is pretty lean, but now it got even leaner, because why should I keep consuming sh*t thats not good for you.

When you know better you do better.....

Also now I'm down to 208 looking ripped. Mainly because I clean up my diet even more.


I say all this to say....

If you're overweight its because you eating too much, and too much of the wrong thing...


The quickest way to drop weight will always be to......

STOP eating.

Obviously that isn't sustainable, but eating healthy + exercise is.

If it's not a metcon/cardio and lifting session split, it's prolly not doing anything except generating extra fatigue.

I once went in did legs then came back a little later and worked upper/finished my original workout. Had a chick asking me why I did that

And you coulda just done a full-body workout and prolly gotten the same net effect.

Between having time with my daughter, traveling on the job, handling my own business (setting up late summer releases designs and website, photoshoots, and prepping for fall collection), and maintaining the house… yes.

I make no excuses I do working out at home but getting in the gym and getting the necessary weight lifting in yes. I do my best trying to get at least 3-4 days in.

Like I posted about feeling guilty not working out I hated myself for not going for a week but my body literally needed the rest.

This past week I been up until 2 am nearly every day waking up at 5 bruh.

Finally got 10 hours of sleep last night but that’s because I’m off from the job today.

for not making excuses and still getting into the gym. Doing better than 99% of the population just off that alone. I'd take @Son Goku advice and just do a fullbody split so I'd at least know I stimulated every muscle in a workout. Or you can do a 4 day upper lower split. Quality workouts >>>> Quantity shytty workouts.

Then make sure your nutrition and rest are at the best that your current situation allows for. shyt sounds cliché af but at the end of the day, all this shyt is commitment and patience.

We also take rest days

 

[WesCrook]

I workout on Sundays a lot. I was considering going today and again tomorrow. Then I thought "I should sit today since I'm going tomorrow anyway"


.....then Apollo's voice entered my head:

I just wrapped up a session.

Preach. Yet sadly women are being convinced this ain’t true ‘Heavy lifting loses more weight’. Bullshyt it does. ‘No, I gotta eat more protein bc I’m working out’ bytch you are overweight you are not bulking
