The Muscle Building Fat Burning Video Blog #15

||
 Today starts a new era at the Muscle Building Fat Burning Machine. As many of my loyal readers know, I had some major technical difficulties with my internet provider back in late February. As a result I fell behind on getting my blogs published. While I eventually hope to catch those up, I am not counting on that happening at this point. Thus, moving forward, I will be back to daily blogging, but with a new twist. From now on, every blog will start with a video. That video will somehow tie into the commentary for the day. The rest of the features of the blog will remain the same, but my progress photo will now be at the bottom of the blog instead of the top of the blog. There will be some other changes coming, even the possibility of the URL of this blog changing, but those changes are not final yet and will not be made until, at the earliest, late-April or early-May. Now on with today’s commentary. Since the title of today’s post is about change happening, I thought I would address the topic of change. Change is something that the majority of people shy away from. I honestly feel that while people enter a physique transformation with every intention to be successful, their inate disgust for change sabatoges them at some point. They get complacent naturally and thus, fail to really transform. This is a cycle that must be broken for success to occur. Change is about small steps. It isn’t about taking one giant leap ahead and staying there. Change should happen in small, digestible increments. Anything greater than that is sure to result in failure. Taking things in manageable increments will help to insure that you are successful in the long term. As mentioned in my video a few days ago, it is quite alright to change your eating 5 days a week and then eat what you want 2 days a week. Will your results be as quick? No, they will not be as quick. However, I do believe that you will develop a consistency that you might fail to develop if you aim for 7 days of good eating right away. I know this is probably a heretical statement for me to make and I’m sure other fitness experts would disagree to some extent, but I believe in the statement I just made. I feel that when you make that small change to eating right 5 days a week you will stick to it. You will eventually begin to see results rolling in. At that point you will start to be compliant even on the 2 days you have set as “free days” because you won’t want to put your progress in jeapordy. The 5 days a week is a catalyst to get you to that next level. It will insure the consistency that you need to get going. It is the same with working out. If you simply just start working out 3 days a week, you will begin to see results and that will lead you to working out 6 days a week eventually. It goes back to creating a consistent set of behaviors that lead you to the ultimate objective. In summary, don’t bite off more than you can chew. If you were forced to eat a frog you couldn’t just shove the entire frog down your mouth without risking choking. Instead, you’d eat the frog in bite sized pieces and you’d keep at it until the entire frog was gone. Handle your body transformation the same way. Take on those bite sized pieces until you get to where you want to be. |

  Mike’s Workout Log: 
Matty’s Workout Log: Honestly, the Saturday workout, while doing it, didn’t feel like a great workout. Afterwards I realized that I’ve been on a 3 week cut with very low carbs and my energy is hitting rock bottom. Thus, the weight I am pushing isn’t as good as it usually is, but I did get every single rep on every single exercise. I have one more week on the very low carb system and then I get to recharge for 2 weeks before hitting this 4 week cycle again. Matty had a good workout. He doesn’t like the high repetition day as much, but he did great today. We are really working on his form and his mind to muscle connection. I am trying to teach him how to be one with the weights. He is getting it on some exercises and not on others. It will come as he works on his skills. |
