I want to preface this article by saying that it’s going to be a little different than my previous articles. I’ve decided to try incorporating a short audio clip where I speak about a topic. Today’s topic is “being a better YOU”. I invite you to read the article, listen to the clip, and provide me some feedback about this style of content on my blog. Tell me what you think! The good, bad, and ugly! Let’s get to it…
The holidays have come and gone and it’s time to get in the right headspace for 2017. New Year’s is a time to reflect on the past year and gear up for the future. And while 2016, may have been short-lived, I know I still have many more goals that I want to accomplish that have been sitting in the “in progress” or “incomplete” bucket for a couple years now.
The holidays are quickly approaching, and this week’s training schedule has been very sporadic. While I missed two training sessions (Wednesday and Thursday), I am hitting deadlifts today! The fitness lifestyle has to be dynamic, and you have to be both accountable, committed, and flexible. If you’re in it for the long-haul, this is an important consideration to have, so that you aren’t frustrated with yourself when life tends to get in the way.
This week has flown by, and I promise you, I haven’t forgotten about the “life on 5/3/1” series. This is going to be a bit of a longer article recapping my week, some travel, workouts, and food (because, who could forget talking about what they eat during a training program?).
Consider this the written version of Jake Owen’s, Real Life.
Do you ever have one of those days where you’re like “what just happened?!” or “where’s the undo button, ctrl-z!!!!?!”. Well, today was pretty much that for me. And while my nutrition and my lifting hasn’t been on point for any sort of regulated training program, I am still going to continue this series and make up for this [awful] first week of events.
Article 2 of the “life on 5/3/1” series is brought to you by legs day. You don’t know squat, if you don’t squat! This article takes a step into my day, my workout, and my nutrition. Click to read more.
I’ve always wanted to write a series of articles on my experience with training. This is the intro article for my “life on 5/3/1” series. Over the next 8 weeks, I will be doing 5/3/1 with the focus on body recomposition and strength gains.
Consider this like your typical fitness youtuber’s vlog without the video edits. I’m going to go into my routine, my day-to-day training progress, and some tips to help you along the way. Let’s get to it.
