How did I get started with fitness?
I started about a year ago, with just wanting to find a healthier way to like my body. Joining the gym was on my mind, but I rode my bike, and began doing pilates before I joined the gym. I still am not on an official health kick for nutrition, but I am getting there.
Where does my motivation come?
A couple of places. Firstly, myself. I motivate myself to achieve higher and higher goals and always crush them. Secondly, a few people in my life. None of them really motivate me, themselves, but sometimes when I am working out or running and I am getting tired, I think of them, and it gets easier.
What is your general routine like?
I honestly don't have set days for specific moves or parts, but I do have separate days for the following:
- Abs
- Legs + Glutes
- Triceps + Biceps
- Back
- Chest
- Deltoids
I do each of these for about 40-70 minutes (depending) and then I do cardio for about 40-50 minutes.
My workouts tend to be 1:45 long.
I used to combine deltoids with back and chest, or combine back and chest, but I have isolated them to really spend the time and effort on these parts, specifically.
What are your three favourite exercises?
1. Seated Row- I love working out my rhomboid, for no apparent reason.
2. Tricep extension, with rope. - Lately I have been obsessed over my triceps. I am starting to see more definition there.
3. Back extension!!!- Sorry, love my back :) - cept instead in this picture, holding a 35lb plate against my chest for resistance!!
Diet?
I don't count calories, which I should.
I don't eat anything special, which I should. This is my next step.
But I do focus on getting a lot of fruits and protein.
I use fiber supplementation, protein powder, and I eat lots of bananas for potassium. I also use caffeine and pre-workout for supplements, as well.
Funny Gym stories?
I have a few... some are embarassing for me, others, are about others.
1. One time I was drinking a weird pre-workout concoction I made, while on the elyptical, and it spilled everywhere.
2. I have broken/partially broken 3 treadmills. I didn't do anything. They just stopped working.
3. I was doing something with the stability ball and I was near the TVs and mirror and I jumped up and hit my head off the bottom of the TV.
4. Some random new guy decided to try to deadlift some other guy's set, and dropped it, causing everything to shake on the floor.
5. There was a guy in a leather jacket grunting and wailing and deadlifting everything. Did I mention the jeans and chains?
6. A guy was doing lat pull downs with a poncho. I have no idea.
Things that piss you off at the gym?
I can probably think of some...
1. When someone asks to hop on with you and then takes forever. If you don't know what this means, it's when you are using a machine or something, and you are resting, and someone asks to hop on with you, that means they want to take a turn and do a few reps. What pisses me off is when someone hops on with me and tries to do like 3 sets. Dude. Take turns, and take a rest, your muscles need it.
2. When people tighten the nobs too much.
3. When I can't find something I need for the lat pull down machine. I also frequently can't find the bar I use for tricep extensions and bicep curls.
4. Okay. So I always use this one locker at the gym, and about a month ago, someone permanently rented it out. Now I use the one next to it like a loser.
Favourite gym outfit?
I'd post a pic, but I don't have any. My capri yoga pants, vibrams, black tank top.
What are your three favourite body parts, three least favourite, and three that you most need/want to improve?
Fave:
1. Back, specifically my rhomboids and lower back.
2. Quads.
3. Triceps
Least Favourite:
1. Stomach/abs - I need to lose that belly fat. That means diet control. Ugh.
2. Calves - I feel like my calves are really small in comparison to the rest of my legs. Also, I think my Gastrocnemius is small, and my extensors are oddly developed, compared to the average person.
3. Forearms
Need/Want to Improve:
1. Forearms - I don't work them out enough. Barely get to them on bis and tris day.
2. Deltoids - I don't mind the way they look, but I want my shoulder muscles to be more proportionate to the rest of my arm. I like working out deltoids, it's just I haven't really isolated them until 2 months ago.
3. Glutes- I hate working out my glutes. I get them in with squats, but I don't do glute exercises as a rule.
