A change in training
Hello! I finally decided to start this lil ditty
Here goes..!
Ok, so when I started working out again, I had a goal of losing body fat and gaining muscle. Well, it turns out that I did lose a LITTLE bit of body fat, but overall, I really just gained a lot of muscle, which in turn made me bigger. I knew that I was doing the right thing by gaining muscle, but I wasn’t doing enough to lose the fat that lies over the muscle. So, not only was I no longer fitting into my clothing
, I wasn’t really able to see the definition of all the muscle I gained, particularly in my legs.
Once I couldn’t fit into my jeans because my quads had gotten so big, I decided to do a little more research. Through this I found out about explosive lifting. I learned that by lifting more explosively and with less rest I could burn more calories and use up most of my carbs. Then, after the workout, I can do cardio and since the lifting used my carbs, the cardio would now begin burning the fat. This made me ecstatic and I’m am now stopping my 9 week program and starting a new one that includes explosive lifting and plenty of cardio to finally begin reshaping my body the way I want to.
Heres the new program, can’t wait to start seeing results and sharing them all with you!:
