New Workout Regimen
October 3rd, 2005After more than eight years of doing essentially the same weight-lifting routine in the gym, and after seeing minimal (meaning “no”) changes in strength, weight, or muscle size, I’m finally changing my entire workout routine. By doing completely new exercises for every body part, I’m “shocking my system”, as they say. I’m no longer doing any exercise I was doing before, and I’m splitting up the days I work various muscle groups, too.
I also plan to shake up this routine again in about 3 months so that my body is in a constant state of change (that doesn’t make much sense if you really think about it).
One other significant change I’m making is my eating habits. It’s time I cut back a little bit on all the carbs I eat, and push to eat more proteins. Goodbye bread and pasta, hello egg whites and steamed chicken…just kidding, that’s nasty. But I will attempt to get more chicken, nuts, and milk into my system, and less pasta and rice. Damn, I might even try protein shakes.
This post actually shouldn’t be of much interest to anyone reading this, other than myself, which is why I’m writing it — it’s really just an easy way for me to keep track of when and how I make changes to my workout routine.
