I must not be at the magical number of days to form a habit. I didn't think once about my blog commitment today. I was in bed, I was about to drift off and wake up to the horror of having to follow through and give $1,000 to my anti-charity, aka. Hillary Clinton.
Nevertheless, my Jiminy Cricket came through and reminded me in the final hour. Wheeew! Thanks 'lil buddy!
I had a great question from my high school bud, "I want to get back into working out ...do you have a program you could share with me that would help me explode?" To which I gave him the pop rocks and coke recipe. I was amused.
The truth is, aside from dianabol smoothies, and sticking needles in your butt, I don't know of any way to blow up. But I am a hard gainer. I eat a shload of food, train six days/week and swallow all of the supplements I think might help. And I think I may have gained 2 lbs of muscle the past year. The scale actually says I haven't gained any. But I refuse to believe I didn't bring about some change. So I'm going with a realistic and optimistic 2 lbs. But I did change my body, new detail in my back, thickness in my legs. And my calves exist for the first time.
We bring about changes in our bodies so slow, it's like a drop at a time. We can eat donuts every day, and in a week we don't look much different. A month, a little bit. Three months is noticeable and a year, we aren't wearing the same clothes.
Getting in shape is the same. One week, you don't see it. A month, absolutely! Three months we can change our body fat dramatically. One year is enough time to transform twice over. But it seems so slow when you are doing it. But looking at a before picture after 12 week transformation, progress can be awesome!
Building muscle takes consistently taxing the muscle, tearing it down, and feeding it an excess of calories, with an emphasis on protein. But most of all, it takes TIME! To build a truly impressive physique I believe it takes five years.
I'll continue to share, and put some training info on the blog. But I doubt anyone is going to explode with my methods. If I knew the secret, I would sell it to you. I'd even give you a discount because you are my friend! But that would make me a drug dealer.
But this advice is free. It happens slow. Be patient, be consistent and hit it hard every day.
