Are you a fat hater

For years people have been constantly saying how bad fats are for your diet. Which in excess is true, but then again everything in excess is bad for you. Dietary fats play a key role in maintaining good health throughout your entire body. So embrace the fats.

Dietary fats such as the omega family are key ingredients in preventing many diseases. Omega -3s play a role in preventing heart diseases and strokes along with joint pain, rheumatoid issues, and lesson the effects of ADHD. There have also been studies showing omega 3 can boost your immune system but that's still inconclusive.

Omega - 6 is a key factor in skin and blood health. Omega 6 allows your blood to thicken so it will clot when you have a cut. However most people have too much omega - 6 and not enough omega - 3 in their diet. The easiest way to get your intake of omega - 3's is one handful of walnuts a day. Fish oil supplements are a good way to get the fatty acids you need in your diet but strive to get as much as possible from the food you ingest, it'll absorb better and more efficiently. 

Squats : The Prince of Compound Movements

Squats are one of the best workouts you do for your body. I call them the Prince of compound movements only because I believe dead lifts are the only exercise better. but just like dead lifts , squats are an excellent movement that teaches your body to work as one unit.

Squats are going to break you down normal things in life will not be pleasant for a few days after you perform squats. Your morning shit will not be relaxing by any means. walking up and especially down stairs will seem near impossible. The thought of running will make you cringe. But in the end it's all worth it because the benefits of squats by far out weigh the negatives.  

Squats are the best natural way to boost your testosterone levels. Because they use such a large muscle as the main for e of the lift your body naturally increases test levels to help heal. Now this is a great thing because testosterone is the hormone in the male body responsible for creating muscle mass. So not only does it help heal the legs after squats but it will help increase the muscle mass after all of your lifts. 

Plus what looks more bad ass then a heavy squat. 

DeadLifts: The King of compound movements

Dead lifts are a probably the best compound movement you can do and yet for some reason many people do not do them. I am not sure if it's fear of hurting themselves or because it requires so much effort to do and they are too lazy to have the tough as fuck dedication needed to do them weekly or they just don't know how.

Dead lifts are a very scary thing when you do not know how to do them but they are worth the time to learn and master. Dead lifts will increase your strength in all areas of the gym because of the amount of muscles needed to do heavy dead lifts. HOWEVER proper form is 100% necessary due to the fact it can be dangerous without it. I highly recommend learning proper form with light weight and watch some instructional videos there are countless videos that show proper form.

Dedication is what you will need to master this taxing workout. not just the type of dedication it takes to go into the gym and curl for 30 minutes to get big biceps but the tough as fuck dedication needed to work every muscle in your body over and over and over again , your hand will hurt , your forearms will pulse , you lower back muscles will throb , your ass will feel tight and your hamstrings will be sore but it's worth it. This one movement will teach your body to work as one cohesive unit. Something curls won't give you.

I honestly believe that anyone who goes to the gym to gain strength or size and doesn't Dead lift is making their time almost useless. I am not saying that you can't get strength without them but the process is faster and more efficient. Plus having a heavy deadlift looks badass.

Gym Pet Peeves

There is not a lot of things that happen in the gym that bother me. i usually ignore everyone else around me and do my own thing. But there are a few things that happen that irritate me and some that down right piss me off. this is going to be a list of stuff that bothers me many of you might feel the same.

#5 Not Wiping Sweat off of Gym equipment

             There is nothing more disgusting than seeing a huge sweat mark on a bench or any other piece of equipment. To be completely honest i could careless if i can't see the sweat or you didn't break a sweat but you have to know when you are working up a large amount of sweat. No body wants to sit in someone Else's sweat. It takes less than 1 minute to wipe it up.................you can even use it as a rest between you're next lift. So please just wipe the fucking thing off people have enough of their own sweat on them last thing they need is to add you're sweat to the mix.

#4 Guys Who act Tough 

           I hate when guys go into the gym wearing fancy jeans, and watches and pretend to be a strong man. They load up the bar with a large amount of weight and do a quarter of a rep to show off how much they can lift. Another is when they load up the bar with a large amount of weight on the bench press...........then get their spotter to do half the effort, then say 1 more rep. It makes all men in the gym look like idiots just because you want to prove your strength. the honest truth you're not fooling one person with that shit.

#3 Social/Cell Phone use at the Gym

       Now I am all for using your phone as music player because let's face it how can you not workout with out music it just not possible. But talking on your phone during a set or while sitting on equipment or while on a cardio machine is just bother some especially the ones who talk excessively loud. It's a large distraction to everyone around. Also pictures using the mirrors in the gym which are meant for people to keep their form in check is really annoying. Now if you take progress photos that is amazing whatever keeps you motivated but the bathrooms have mirrors and i am sure you're house does as well. As for the4 social aspect the most annoying thing is when a group of guys or girls come in together and spend more time talking then lifting or exercising. Why fucking bother going at all , and same goes for the women i see who go just cause their boyfriends go, it is one thing to go and workout with your boyfriend and actually exercise, but when you lift a weight once in awhile and just wait for him to finish. Why are you there , I am sure he doesn't like it because you have taken his sanctuary and made it reality by just "hanging out"

#2 People who assume Roid use

       I am not just talking about roid use it could be silicone implants. It annoys me when I hear people say "Oh he must be on steroids" or when women say " she has implants". Who fucking cares. Steroids are not some magical pill that make you huge. Yes they make your bulk and cutting more efficient but you still have to spend the time under the iron and watch your diet. I could care less whether someone does or does not take steroids good for them I won't. Same goes for breast implants women assume another woman looks good its only because they have implants. They probably watch their diet and spend time at the gym to stay healthy but they wanted larger breasts and worked for them so who cares.

#1 Dumbbells not being re-racked

             I am not one to really care ab out the plates not being put back where they should because it's not the fact that I have to move them that bothers me. I am at the gym to lift heavy shit anyways so it's not a huge deal but other people get really pissed off so I always put my plates away. Dumbbells not being re-racked is a huge pet peeve of mine. The only reason i care about dumbbells being left all over the place is because i know have to search to find the set i need or search to find a matching set which takes time out of my workout. Plates are easy they're all different sizes so it's easy to find the one you need but dumbbells are so close together in size it's a pain and my gym uses old metal dumbbells so most of the numbers are faded and hard to read. 

            

Push Pull Leg workout Schedule

I have recently switched my routine to a three day at the gym schedule. I now go for a push day consisting of deadlifts, pull ups, rows , curls, shrugs and lots and lots of reps. Pull day will consist of bench press, shoulder press, flyes, tricep extension with lots of reps, then of course there will be a leg day with squats and lunches and lots of reps. I did not include every exercise in my routine but i spend roughly 2-3 hours each time in the gym. Let me tell you something tho getting started at 3 hours in the gym fucking sucks but the feeling when you leave is incredible. I can not wait to see what this routine holds in the future for my strength gains.

I

I will also be supplementing my three days of gym time with at home workouts consisting of core, yoga, abdominals, and some body weight cardio to keep body fat lower. Later on I will be writing another blog about these supplementary routines. If you have the drive and the time and have been doing a routine for quite awhile i HIGHLY recommend switching to a push/pull/leg routine.

Push up VS Pull ups

Let's get one thing straight off the top this is not a debate on which workout is better for you or which one will make you stronger. I have heard countless times the pushups are the king of body weight exercises and everyone talks about how many push ups they can do. Yes they have their benefits and i believe everyone  should incorporate them into their routine somewhere and most people do. But be honest how many of you incorporate pull ups into a routine. There is a lot of big bodybuilders who do not do pullups and a lot can't do a strict pull up. This is why i believe pull ups are the king of body weight exercises. I personally do not count how many push ups i can do because it doesn't matter i go until i can not go anymore.

However pull ups on the other hand I count. the reason is because they are fucking hard. I started out doing 0 pull ups 4 months ago and have worked my way up to doing 5 strict pull ups per set and i have a goal of doing 20 pullups per set. I do not count  "kipping" pull ups as real pull ups they are not focusing properly on you're pulling muscles. That being said i am all for using them once i run out of gas to get a few more reps in even if it does use less pulling muscles.
