I put 110% in my workout, nutrition and recovery and I am satisfied at the end my workout!!

In the years of training I have seen more people fail to reach their goals because of the fact they aren’t willing to make life adjustments to better their life and live a healthly balanced life.  You don’t have to be the biggest, leanest body in the gym but when you look in the mirror ask yourself…are you happy with your results? If not, STEP IT UP.

So lets make it happen:

1. Do cardio in the morning to burn off any extra carbs you ate
2. Consume more meals a day (add acouple of BLITZ SHAKES bewteen meals and before bed)
3. Change your workout style confuse your body
4. Drink lots of water
5. Get 6hrs to 8hrs of sleep
6. BE HAPPY!!!
7. DONT GIVE UP IT DOESNT HAPPEN OVER NIGHT!!!

My training is going great this last week. I did a split of two days on two days off. My training style was heavy…no more than 8 reps and on the last set of each exercise I cut weight in half for a burn out. I didn’t count carbs this week, just ate tons of oatmeal, rice and lots of steamed greens. I was full and my energy was amazing but sleep was an issue. My body temp was up, burning off the extra carbs going from no more than 100 carbs a day to not counting put my body in shock. So one more week of shock. Now the great news…my weight is at 220!!!!  I feel like the old me so I’m going back to moving at 110mph.

I did some crazy loading starting Saturday and ended Monday (thank God).  I decided to go back to the old days when I depleted for a while (my normal intake of carbs is no more than 100 per day).

I went on a overload and ate any food Iwanted but still consumed my 3 shakes a day. My theory was to send my body into shock. Well I did. I also took those days off from the gym and ate pizza, a gallon of ice cream and way to many hamburgers and fries. By the end I felt fried and my body temp was thru the roof.  And to be honest I felt shtty and didn’t sleep well.

I made it back to the gym Tuesday and I was pumped. The veins were out but I was drenched in sweat.  It will be a very long time before I load again, so this week ZERO CARBS.

I had my mind set and goals planned and I GET SICK!! So back in the gym today for first time since new year I knew I couldn’t go back to the crazy animal I am in the gym so this next week I am going to train upper body one day and then lower body the next and take a day off and repeat the same cycle for a week. I hope with taking it slow and consuming lots of quality RTD’s my joints and my soreness with be to a minimal. No reason to push it to the limit and get hurt. I will be focusing on one exercise per body part with 3 sets and 15 reps I will use a moderate weight that can be controlled and have a full extension I want to feel the blood rushing in my veins, also to start this year of right, cardio 3 times a week after workout for 20 minutes to bring my heart rate back down after workout.

I couldn’t wait to go to the gym tonight after I loaded up all day with PROTEINBLITZ, usually on the way to the gym I would get a cup of coffee to start the machine up, but today I brought with me two Proteinblitz RTD Waters and all I can say is WOW.

I started out first with a chest workout and I felt amazing from dumbbell pressing 105’s  for  3sets of 10 reps to doing drop sets to a burnout on my last exercise of cable crossovers. My goal was to finish one Proteinblitz RTD before I started biceps and that was easy the flavors are amazing, on to biceps. I never plan any of my workouts on paper or write anything down I just go for it and again I was in the zone! It must be in the Proteinblitz RTD!!!

In the end I felt great I was on top of the world.

OK, here’s a major problem that every iron pumping maniac might face from time to time, if you are as busy as I am sometimes just getting to the gym can mean planning your day and often times canceling an appointment or making some other sacrifice that will allow you to get your session in for the day. Time isn’t always on our side; PROTEINBLITZ has really helped in saving some of that time for me. How many times have you barely made it to the gym, had to hustle through your workout, then had to haul ass home, hop in the shower, get dressed and tear off for a prior engagement? What did you forget when you got home?

If you’re like me in all the hurry you may have forgotten to dose some protein after your battle with the iron. This is a major no-no, as everyone knows protein intake is the most crucial after your workout and to not consume protein and a few complex carbs after putting your muscles through hell you are only cheating yourself and you will have cheated your muscles. The other thing is if you forget to get some protein you will be thinking about it the rest of the day and it will bend on your mind, if your like me it can quite honestly ruin your day. All that planning and shifting things around so you can make it to the gym and fit everything else in and come to find out you have pretty much done all that for really nothin accept the regret of not dosing.

PROTEINBLITZ has helped to eliminate those kinds of slip-ups; by introducing PROTEINBLITZ RTD’s to my regiment I no longer face such a tragedy. The RTD’s taste great and are extremely efficient, I always keep some cold in my refrigerator and I also have even been keeping a few extras in my vehicle. They don’t taste as good when they have been sitting in your car for the last couple of days but warm protein is better than no protein in my opinion, plus keeping a few extra in your car will allow your dosing even if you forget to take some at your house. This is now a portable protein that is a million times easier to consume because of the simple fact that everything you need is right there in one bottle ready for you to haul off or leave chillin in your fridge. The time saved not having to mix protein when I get home from the gym really is worth it. A product like proteinblitz can really help you out when u are crunched for time or in a pinch for some easily accessible protein. Thanks PROTEINBLITZ for saving me some precious time and making it easier for me to stay massive…Zach
