Lose Weight

I am not the type of person who sits around complaining when things don`t go my way but sometimes the truth needs to be told. I`ve never been known as “spoiled,” or have gotten everything my way. In fact, I am just the opposite. I guess I am what you call “cast away.” You see, Ive had my share of rough times and always overcame them on my own. But it is just the simple fact that no one cared which hurt most.

Growing up I did get some things, more than most kids had gotten, but I didn`t get as much as “the other one.” Does it feel good to be yelled at for wearing the same clothes with holes in them, the only clothes you would get for me? But what about “the other one” that gets to wear Old Navy, Abercrombie, American Eagle, and look as if she`s getting ready for a fashion show. And people wonder why I`m crazy.

Now let`s not even get into the whole vehicle problem. How do you think it feels when you get your car sold because is dad is juiced up on Oxy`s, not knowing what he is thinking. Or when you get the only other method of transportation taken from you for being nice and giving someone a ride home when he shouldn`t even have been around me in the first place. It`s not the fact that I`m a complainer, but when “the other one” is getting a fancy car, while I`m walking everywhere that I go. How would it make you feel?

Now I could buy anything I need and always could have but when no one gets you anything and “the other one” gets a laptop computer, an I-Pod, any cd, and any pair of shoes that she wants. How would you feel? Would you feel good when “the other one” is living in luxury waiting for her next pair of shoes while I`m living in an abandoned apartment across the street. Or how would you feel living with a gay dude and getting screamed at every five minutes from someone that is supposed to be your friend. Would it make you happy?

The point is that some things in life are unfair and you may feel that there is no way out. But I am here to tell you that you can make it! Don`t get upset over the little things because someone, somewhere has it worse than you do. Fight the battle head on because you know that you are going to win. It might not happen right away but eventually the results will start paying off. Until next time, later!

Every January millions of people make a New Years Resolution only to find a few weeks into the New Year, they are unable to stick to it. Are you a statistic this year or have you made a difference to your life.

Every year at this time of the year you see people who have started their New Year’s Resolutions. People have gone on a diet, started an exercise regime, given up smoking or decided that they will change their life in some way.

They have the motivation to start & have high expectations that this year it will work for them. They get up early & start walking the dog 5 days a week or start the latest diet craze. The first week is so easy. Your motivation is high & you feel great because you have started to follow through on your planned resolution.

Week 2 comes along & you think, I’ve been good for a week, one bad day won’t hurt me & the truth is one bad day won’t hurt you. It is the day after your bad day that will determine whether you will succeed with your New Year’s Resolution. If you overcome your bad day you make it to the next week.

By now you are at week 3, if you have made it this far you are doing great. You would already be feeling the effects of your new regime & will be feeling proud of yourself that you have stuck to your program.

But now you have to keep going. You start to realise that you really need to make a lifestyle change to keep your New Year’s Resolution. Are you prepared to make that change. If you are you will never look back. They say it takes 30 to 60 days to change a habit so stick to your program whatever it may be if you truly want to make this years Resolution Work.

If you have started a New Year’s resolution & are finding it hard to stick to or have already given up, think about giving it another go, you never know if you try hard enough, you may not have to make the same resolution next year & you will feel much better for it.

By next year you can make another resolution & this time you know you can stick with it. You can laugh to yourself when you see all the new people out walking their dogs & going on diets, that was me last year, but I made a difference to my life & I stuck to my plan. I have achieved what I set out to achieve & you should be so proud of yourself for that.

The chest is one of the most overtrained bodyparts and for obvious reasons. People will try pumping out more reps on the bench press than that of the previous day. These people are not educated on how to properly bodybuild, let alone on how to build a decent sized chest. This article is for those uneducated people who would like to learn the basics of the chest and incorporate that learnt knowledge into their own workout program.

The two primary muscles that make up the chest are the pectorolis major and rotator cuff. The pectorolis major allows for flexion, adduction, and medial rotation, while the rotator cuff allows for medial rotation, supraspinatus, and abduction. The muscles that contribute to the thickness of the chest are the latissimus dorsi muscles of the back. When this muscle is contracted, the measurement of the chest can be significantly increased. Thick pectorals will add greatly to the height of your chest, while strong pecs become useful when feats of strenght are needed.

The variation of exercises performed will vary on the individual and what type of equipment available. Most bodybuilders start their chest workout with some sort of incline exercise, but be careful that you do not overdevelop your upper chest. Also be careful when working the lower and middle chest fibers, overdevelopment of these can give a person a droopy look to his/her chest. There are no rules stating how many exercises and how much weight that should be used. When it comes to building mass, everyone responds differently so don`t be afraid of trying something new.

Making progress over the long term means switching intensity from one workout to the next. You should also vary the exercises performed and the type of sets that you decide to use, no workout should ever be the same. Doing the same workout every week, for months at a time can become dull and heighten your risk of reaching a plateau. To avoid a plateau, simply add more machine and dumbells to your training routine. Some people say that machines don`t build size, these people are wrong! If you train hard and heavy on a machine and work the muscle right, it will grow just the same as if you used free weights. Muscles respond to resistance, but how well a person responds to certain equipment varies on the individual.

Don`t get me wrong, the chest is one of the funnest muscle groups to train, but very few people know how to train it correctly. Your chest routine should emphasize each section of your chest so that you don`t look unproportioned. Finding the right workout that suits your needs takes years of trial and error to get correct, so don`t expect to get everything right on the first try. Have fun with it is the most important advice I can give you. If you`re not having fun you won`t want to workout, and that state of mind is spelling recipe for disaster. Until next time, later!
