Been active in sports since i was little, soccer was my passion as a goal-keeper until around 18'th year i got mayor lower back problems ( Prolaps's often ) i deciced to start the gym to fight my back problem in hope that it would work.. And yeaaaa it worked so well that i fell totally for the gym and the passion grew. But then school work life hit in and i stayed away for many years and also the backpain came back from time to time but not as bad as before.
Now latest 5 years i've been working out consistantly and i am starting to feel comfortable with my ways in the gym, by that i mean knowlegde come after trying and failing and reading site by site by site for info, trying and discarding info.
Now i give help to others in the gym, friends, and others who ask cos i think in this game, the faster u get the right "path" the faster optimal results.
Each individual is different in genetics and even how they respond to a certain exercise. "What works for me doesent have to work for u" But with help finding exercises that in the same way work for ur muscles as my exercise works for me, that i have found usefull knowledge for me many times when i've helped others that platou or dont get the "right form and feeling"
Working out is about finding ur way, but with guidance of people with experience. We are never graduated in learning about ourself!
Consistancy and motivation takes u a loong way and dont forget the most important!! NUTRITION It's 70/80% of ur result :sport:

Okey:)
Yes i am using the ground rules of Intermittent Fasting and biorythm diet principles i found that This accually works well even on strenght gains as well as on fat burning regime.
Recearch have found it individual how a person respond to these kinds of diets, some need to have a little low carb breakfast in the morning instead of waiting those full 1hours. I use the principles.. if my body screams for energy in the morning i will give it a low carb 120calories breakfast if not i hang on the 16hours. I Believe in balance:) And Saturdays i have a cheatmeal after workouts burger,pizza ect. The mind needs feeding to
Controlling the food intake etc. Definitely allowing ourselves to eat what we love despite of dieting to keep us sane!
Word up!!
Totally agree with u Jettie, It's so much easier to stay consistant to ur nutrition when doing this and still get the result/goals that are set I am very satisfied so far:)
I't much more kinder to the economy and time in kitchen is less and we can still have a "decent" normal eating life out with friends hehe
I work nightshifts and dayshifts so i do my first of 7 nightshift on this 8-16 that will be interesting to see how i do.. cos i need to change the eating rythm.. still 8/16 but now i eat at night instead. Hope my hormones and body will accept.
thanks sir! hope you will help our little community grows with people that has some lots of experience on this game!
I am glad to be here and give of my experience and to read others experiences with programs diets and other stuff, we are never outlearned in this subject
Starting my nightshift week (7 nights ) so i take a split today bcos i dont wanna mess to much with the body, cos on night the bodys hormones and rest is out of balance. Sometimes LESS IS MORE
