It's been a little over a month since I've posted something, so I figured I might as well put an update out there.
I'm still 200lbs. I haven't lost any weight. I have, however, lost another pants size, and now my abs are just starting to show. I'm burning through fat pretty quickly. I'm gaining a lot of muscle and it's been a lot of fun. I'm getting some muscle built up so when I do my cut, I'll be able to burn through more fat quicker with more muscle.
For the last month I had fallen into some sort of routine. Not exactly a bad thing but I could tell I needed to shake it up. So I set aside a couple of days every other week to just go in and do a full body workout. This means pull-ups, sit ups, push ups, squats, dead lifts, cleaves, pretty much everything. I wanted to focus on a workout that engaged as many muscles at once as I could get. A push up, followed by a jump up to the bar with a pull up, leg lift, kind of like playing on a jungle gym. The point is, it was fun, and it was a workout!
What I found really fun is finding out just how many more pull ups I could do, or push ups. Using all the muscles in my body helped tie them together I think. I thought of some of the strong man competitions, and how many muscles they use all at once. Burning a lot of energy in a very short amount of time. Like a top fuel dragster. It makes me want to go home and build a course like that. After doing 20 minutes of full body workout moves, I was tired. I'd used up some energy for sure. And after that I did 30 minutes of bike. Man, talk about burning through fat.
I just had this thought of people reading these going "well duh!" But hey you can't get away from that. I don't know everything, and I always like to learn what works for me. And this really is working for me.
My advise for this blog, set yourself a play date. Do something that isn't part of your normal routine. Pull your car by a strap! Flip over a tractor tire. Lift a big chunk of concrete. Use the muscles and have fun doing it.
