Hello all! Hope your weekend was great!
For my weekend I decided to rest and recover. I bought an Icy Hot therapy pain relief stick and cold and hot medicated patches to help out with my muscle strain in my back.
Monday, I was still feeling the pain when twisting, bending or standing for a long period of time (at work) but still decided to hit the gym. Instead of doing the intense routine I found in the magazine I decided to do a basic circuit training routine at about 50-70% of my max with higher repetitions (20-25) and only resting a few seconds in order to have energy to get through the sets.
Workout routine included: (A good stretching series before starting) One-leg Leg Press, One-leg Calf presses, Deep Squats, Standing behind the head shoulder press, front bar raises, Dumbbell flies, Dumbbell Press, Hammer Curls, Dumbbell Curls, Cable Rows, Bent over dumbbell lateral raise, Rope pull-downs, Tricep extensions, Ab work with the medicine ball.
I have noticed that many are new to the world of competition and may not know how to prep their skin properly for competition color.
ew this year, there will of course be a breaking in period where all of the judging and criteria really get lined out, but one thing that is for certain… This IS NOT Bodybuilding and no matter what Body Type wins at what show; Presence and Personality will ALWAYS play a huge role in determining placings and this is where the Men would be wise to take some Tips from the Ladies…
So I began the day thinking I was going to do a leg workout but had to switch it up when I felt my hamstring was still tender from my last leg workout. Sometimes it’s just better to listen to your body and allow a muscle group to recover rather than risking injury and setting you back in your fitness goals. As with every workout, I charged up my iPod and loaded it with some new tunes to get me in the zone while I warm up.
One of the best aspects of the new Men’s Physique Division and the overall trend lately in Fitness is that you are actually rewarded for living and maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle! It is a HUGE accomplishment to Train your butt off (literally) for a Show or Competition, but to actually begin to LIVE the Fitness Lifestyle… Now that is where the real rewards are…
