Hey everyone, so up until about 2 months ago I was doing the standard workout routine (aka 1-2 bodyparts a day, 5 days a week). Then my buddy and I started doing an insane workout program called the Tabada routine for the past month. This week, we are doing a week of nothin but supersets, doing Chest/Tri’s monday and thursday, back/bi’s tuesday and friday and legs/shoulders on wed. I have never been more sore since playing college football. This workout literally kicked my ass and was a great change of pace from all "normal routines." I suggest everyone try this at some point for a different feel.

Athletes all know about sacrificing things in order to achieve goals. Whether it be strict dieting, not staying out late, working out regularly, etc., anything you want to accomplish is going to take a lot of work. The funny thing is that most people don’t truly understand sacrifices and what they entail when looking at fitness/bodybuilding/whatever you want to call it. Recently I have noticed my group of friends is changing. Through college I hung out with athletes and kids that drank and partied alot, usually 3-4 times a week. And I was a part of that, working out 3 days a week and drinking just as much. And I wondered for so long why I couldn’t change the way I looked. Since I dedicated myself to achieving the goals I have set in terms of my body, people from the outside (i.e. friends from college) look at it as wrong the fact that I quit drinking heavily, or eat healthy, or work out nearly everyday. This puts a barrier between the average person and the athlete, moreso a barrier between myself and my “friends.” Now, my friends are at the gym. Everyday, I see the same people just as dedicated if not more so than I am constantly trying to improve themselves. So why do people care so much what others think? Why did I for so long care what others thought? I don’t know if its because of what was considered “normal” in college and afterwards or if it was because the athletes are in the minority. All I do know is that regardless of what everyone else thinks, you got to do what you love and honestly, F*ck everyone who says otherwise!
