Gym Takes

It's my second week at the gym and I have already seen some progress by virtue of taking the loads of work up. It has not been all too easy and simple. The idea is to get to the struggle of lifting certain amount of weight and seeing if it can get to a nice range of reps maintaining technique and getting close to failure.

That last part is one of the hardest things to achieve. You need to be able to lift the weight, but it cannot be so easy that you can do a lot of reps. That is why I do 4 sets with one of them being the maximum number of reps possible. It is also the with the lowest load of weights. That helps me get an idea of how much I should get on the machine for the rest of the sets. It works fine for now.

Unbeknownst to my is the fact that my biceps are some of my weakest muscles. No wonder why. I did not have any effective way to work them at home. So the rest of the workouts look like something nice until I have to work them. Bicep curls are the bane of my existence at the gym. I do well on triceps. All my push-ups help me a lot, or that's what I like to believe. But this weak biceps get me failing on low weights. It is a shame, but it is also a thing that keeps me on edge to improve.

We shall see how we end this first month and how do we continue. We might need some assistance. Fortunately, there are trainers at the gym that can help with that. The thing is picking up one of them according to the schedule. However, that is a problem for future me. For now, I will keep going on my workouts as I got them from one of the trainers who was kind enough to teach me some stuff about all the machines and routines as I got there on week 1.
