the MOTIVATION PIT

Tip of the week:drink a gallon or more of water a day. It may sound like alot but trust me it will help keep your muscles full. Keeping your body hydrated helps everything from digestion to protein synthesis. Steady water intake keeps the nutrients flowing into your muscles. If you are on a high protein diet, using creatine, or using fat burners drink your water.

Love and hate are the two most powerful emotions known to man. they are complete opposites but they are one and the same. can you have so much love for something that it can be mistaken for hate? i say yes. i love this sport but i also hate it. its not just a hobby or an activity to me its away of life. i love pushing myself past my limitations but i hate spending most of my paycheck on food that i end up puking up during a brutal battle.  i love changing my body with each and every session but i hate the battle scars that i have on my legs, back, arms and chest. i love the discipline that i have gotten but i hate the stress i get if i  miss a workout or meal i love eating but i hate stressin about how much protein, carbs and fats are in my meals. i love the iron but i know that it is cold and heartless and loves to inflict pain. i love the compliments i get from people but i hate that some doubt my word…
This is what I believe, this is what I follow, this is who I am

Tip of the week # 2

If your bored of doing dumbbell shrugs and barbell shrugs for traps then next time you do traps do trap rows. To perform this simply hook a straight bar, rope, or ez curl bar to a pulley station that is about at eye level if your gym doesnt have an adjustable  pulley station just perform it seated at the seated cable row machine and if you dont have that either perform on the lat pulldown machine. To perform this exercise is simple its like doing a seated row except instead of pulling to your abs or your chest you pull to either your chin or your mouth and make sure to squeeze the traps real hard on the contraction it will give you a great pump and also bring out more upper back and rear delt detail. I truely believe this exercise has helped make my traps what they are.

Today is the start of RLXMUSCLE’S tip of the week. Every week I will give out some tips on either nutrition or working out. One of todays tip is on your next leg day do lunges either with a barbell or with  dumbbells. If your gym has enough space to do walking lunges do them that way. This is a great exercise for complete leg development. Great for the quads, hams and glutes.
