Things
are more simple than what we think. They truly are, we just like to makes
things difficult for ourselves. For some unexplainable reason, it makes us feel
better. We like to believe that we have achieved more by making our lives
difficult than by sticking to the old basic rules which actually work best most
of the time.
The
best example is through the diet and training.
Most
youngsters that come up to me, shit I said youngsters, maybe I am getting old
and wiser Anyway some of these
kids come up to me all stressed out about their diet and training telling me
some crazy-ass combos. Sometimes I can’t help but laugh because I was like that
once so in a way I understand them. But what I tend to do is sit and explain to
them that everything needs a balance; training, diet and life in general
otherwise everything falls apart.
In
terms of your diet, you should always add protein carbs and fat in your meals
and adjust them throughout the day. Morning should have more carbs, that goes
for the post-workout meal and towards the end of the day, limit your carbs
intake and add more veggies and same more good fats. It’s pretty simple really.
And make sure you always listen to your body. If you are hungry, just eat,
don’t wait that extra hour because its written down but don’t go crazy,
remember keep that balance!
As
for the training, I am a firm believer in strong compound movements for the
ladies and of course for the guys. But don’t go crazy, keep in form, push
yourself to your limits but don’t injure yourself at the same time. To be
honest, I like to go a bit crazy every couple of weeks and ‘think’ out of the
box and do same intense reps and sets just to shock the body, but even then I keep
a balance. I do it for a week then switch back to the type of training I was
doing before.
As
for my supplements, it’s also pretty straight forward. When I hear the
youngsters tell me what they take, I hear some crazy shit, sometimes they need
a good 15mins to tell me what is in their cabinet and I need to go home and
research most of the new stuff they have because I have never heard of it. What
we shouldn’t lose sight of is the fact that we never stop learning; no matter
how much of an expert you are in your field, there is always room to learn and
take in more knowledge. You’ll actually be surprised to know that sometimes you
can learn so much even from a person who hasn’t been in the game for so long!
So sometimes just a back seat, listen and learn!
At
the end of the day, Rome wasn’t built in a day. The same applies to reaching
your goals; you have to be patient and more importantly focused. That six-pack
unfortunately won’t form over night. That’s why the trick to reaching your
goals is believing in yourself and never give up no matter what anyone says. Be
consistent, train like a dog in the gym but at the same time remember to have a
positive and humble outlook on life and I guarantee you the rewards will come
your way. The sky is the limit so aim as high as you can and want!
