As lot of you know, the Fitness Industry is one of the most misleading and easy to misunderstand field.
Everybody is looking for the right answer, for the magic pill, more and more gurus are going online claiming that their method/philosophy is the "best". Some of them with their bachelors, masters and PhDs.. and some of them with their broscience..but and the end they're misleading more and more
The thing is that each person is unique and different, but there're certain unavoidable principles that will help you to progress in your journey.
I've been lifting weights for 7 years and I learning in the trial error-method. What I achieved in 7 years I'm sure I could have achieved it in 3 so...what was missing? Lot of misleading information and not having the ability to listen myself and my body.
I learned mostly autodidact, I had some good coaches along the way but at the end I realised that they had their own "method" and they stopped to learn. I even got certified in personal training and some nutrition certifications to understand all this better. Needless to say that I read lot of books concerning this field and spent hours and hours surfing the internet looking and comparing fitness info.
Which was my goal? To have a muscular, aesthetic and functional body that I feel comfortable with.
Also, in case I want to travel the world and live in different places...I want to make it sustainable.
Who would I have listened to If I had to start again my fitness journey from the beginning? Cutting all the misleading information either online and offline.
Elliott Hulse: I learned that you have to listen your body, he definitely helped me a lot
Kinobody: the harsh truth to gain muscle for naturals..basic exercises, progressive overload and keep track of all you can measure, both training and nutrition
Ido Portal: Probably most of you don't know about him...Why he had such a big impact on my life? I remember when I first started training I was betting big,yes...getting stronger..yes...How was I feeling? tight and not functional.
I discovered the importance of being aware of your own movement patterns , how to detect and correct hidden problems and limited body movements.
Here's some example about how to get started and check how's your mobility going
How is going your fitness journey? Who's helping you most along the way?
I'm close to achieve the body I've always wanted..just have to improve more functional patterns. But what I have learned what can be useful for most of people who want to achieve a ripped, muscular and functional body that can be sustainable are:
-Train yourself in patience: We live in a world that encourage us to find instant gratification and making you believe that everything will come fast and easy.
-Stick to the basics both in the training and nutrition principles: There're more and more information going out outside, we live overstimulated. So the best option is to stick to the basic exercises and nutrition principles.
-Enjoy the process and don't skip it: What does it involve? Learn the proper technique of the exercises and the mind-muscle connection.
If not, you won't be recruiting your muscles 100 % and the risk of injury will increase.
-Track your progress weekly: how much you eat(you must start with your own estimation of the macros that you need), how much weight and reps can you do, your bodyweight and corporal measures.
So each and every week you will be AWARE about that have to be improved to keep progressing.
Being aware of your caloric intake will help you to regulate yourself...so you will have better control and understanding of your body.
-Have a clear goal of which kind of body you want to achieve and why. Don't let your ego interfere on yourself. Do you want to have a aesthetic, muscular and functional body so that It can be sustainable while you travel the world? So don't take the "bodybuilding road", stick to a routine with the basic exercises and start implementing bodyweight exercises so that you'll be able to train anywhere you go.
I'm sure I can be writing more...just enjoy the journey and never stop learning and improving..It's all about the journey![[Image: smile.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/smile.gif)
