The gym's closed..

We’ve all had it happen to us before, getting pumped to go shred some hammer curls at the gym and then suddenly the stairway to heaven reads closed. This is where swole sharks shine, no matter what a swole shark will get its pump if it’s the last thing it does. Many people feel limited to the confines of a gym to seek exercise, in other words the people who drive to the gym to run on the treadmill. With a little creativity and understanding on how the body works the walls of the gym soon fall and the world becomes our gym. I myself usually have approximately 3 outdoor workouts a week. There is a wide range of exercises and locations the world has to offer. My favorite place to go is the park next to my house. It offered a jungle gym where I would perform a wide range of calisthenics and body weights exercises. All it takes is some motivation and initiative to get your pump on.

I ran into another experience this past summer while away on military training. While I was on basics there were no workout materials for us to use, so I along with my temporary swole mate devised a strategy to get a pump on. We used sand bags as dumbbells, dead lifted fallen trees, did endless amounts of pull-ups along with pushups. We had the drive and initiative and we gained from it. At the end of basics I was able to do a push up, tap my chest, clap behind my back then clap in front of me again before catching myself on the ground to do 20 more. This is living proof that if you work at something results will follow. There is a man who is famous for getting swole without a gym and shares a quite remarkable story.

Can't have one without the other

Good day, and salutations Today's topic will revolve around dieting, bulking, and the common misconseptios and "brosience" revolving around these subjects. I believe that in order to achieve remarkable progress in swolness, aesthetics, strength and power there are 3 main pillars that come into play in this chronological order (most important to least important): Workout flex, diet and maintenance, and genetics. This being said just going to the gym and working out will not get you anywhere, that is only half the battle. You must put the same effort in nutrition that you do in the gym, only then will you reach your true potential to make gains. That being said I am not saying begin dieting, however what one should be doing is becoming informed and know what you are putting into your body. You see the body is somewhat like an engine, you get what you put in. If you put low quality fuel into your engine you will get low quality results and in the body's case food is the fuel. Now, I usually go by a rule to at least consume 1.5grams of protein for every pound of body weight (excluding protein shakes). The reason for that is that protein is necessary for the development and growth of muscle. It is key to note that one must change their fuel depending on what their goals are. If you are trying to bulk (build muscle and fat) then greater quantities of fat, calories and carbs will be needed. The benefit of bulking is that though you are putting on fat it is easier to put on muscle at the same time as fat. All in all, it is not important to diet but to know what you are putting in your body. I strongly recommend taking the time to research nutrition for athletes or even taking a class, after all knowledge is power. I’m not sure if many of you had heard of “brosience” before? If not let me tell you : it is when someone usually a “bro” makes certain claims without any logic or facts. Example: a bro walks up to you while you’re benching and says “you should put your feet in the air when you bench because it increases testosterone flow to your chest”. That statement was completely wrong and illogical. If you didn’t notice I didn’t touch on one of the pillars in the previous and that would be ginetics. Good genetics is something you either have or don’t, fortunately I have been blessed with very good muscle developing genetics making life easier. I did not touch on it because it is a invariable factor, something we cannot change. One cannot improve their genetics but their exercise and nutrition is something you have control over so focus on that.
