Evolve ~Squeaky Soul's Workout Journal

This morning:

25 pseudo push ups,
65 squats,
15 chin ups,
60 sit ups,
and 25 decline push ups.

The exercises above were broken up into three different cycles. 30 second rest inbetween exercises, 70 second rest inbetween cycles, so I got tired out. After not doing exercises in such a long time I felt like throwing up!

I'd say, gain muscle more muscle!

I have gained a wee bit in these 5 or so months, but now I have a better idea of what I am doing, so I can do it better now.

I'm going to do full body exercises every 2-3 days, while focusing on my under developed muscle groups in those days between. Such as: Forearm, calves, and abs.

I feel the same way with my body!

My thoughts on nutrition?

I think people looking to develop muscle should consume protein, carbs, and fats all from healthy sources. Proteins, not only from meat, but from plant based as well, carbs from fruits and vegetables, not just breads and pastas, and also healthy sources of fats like nuts, avacados, etc. I also think keeping the body alkaline is good too. Meat and dairy acidify the body, which draws protien and calcium out of the muscles and bones. The reason body builders can eat a lot of meat and still gain muscle is because their testosterone levels are so high, a more acidic body doesn't even matter.

So, I like to drink a lot of lemon water, and keep my alkalizing food to acidifying food ratio 2:1. Just to be more alkaline than acidic.

There's a lot more to talk about, but I gotta go now.

Finally gave up calisthenics and started lifting weights!

 

Awesome! What's your build?

 

Awesome. I'd say I'm lean athletic. 6'3" 170 pounds. Pretty skinny
