How are you training your body?

You ever go to the gym and see the same people doing the same exercises on the same days? If you are one of these people, I apologize in advance. Just kidding, I'm not sorry.

Your body is not a one dimensional object so why are you training it like that? Some are probably discouraged because they are not seeing the results as fast or as great as they had hoped for. The body adapts to the same things very quickly. Doing the same bicep workouts with the same weight & reps every Monday at 730pm at Gold's Gym is the quickest way to start getting discouraged from not seeing results. Do you know what the definition of insanity is? SHOOT! I forgot, Monday's are chest days...

So switch your workouts up and shock your body on a continuous basis. When your body has figured out your routine, you're wasting your time and the limited space in the gym.Get creative.

You want to get huge? Intake MASSIVE amounts of calories. How can you get huge if you're not eating? That's right you can't. You want to get strong? Lift the heaviest amount of weight possible in every workout. When I say heaviest, I mean weight that you can still control with proper/perfect form. A good workout partner who will push you is imperative. Not only for motivation but for a spot. You may need them to help out on your last 1-2 reps of your sets. Not a lot, but just a little bit.

I could have easily done regular push-ups here but that would have been boring. Instead, I chose decline push-ups with my feet propped up on another machine while balancing my body on one of those half yoga ball things flipped over...with 25 lbs pounds on my back. It's a killer. Be creative.
