Heavy Duty Training Day 1 of Gaining Muscle mass Bodybuilding Transformation Legs and shoulders

Never skip leg day is what everyone says but hardly people follow. It's leg workout and development that separates men from boys. You gotta squat, lunge and do extensions to build those quads but definitely not do endless amount sets and reps but train with lot of intensity.



Do high reps with 2 to 3 sets including warm up. I do leg press, squats and leg extension in one of the leg day and next week I switch it with hamstring exercise instead of leg extension.

Do give it a try and let me know.

Yes, you have to do crunches train abdominal muscles from different angles. But what gets a you 6 pack is your diet and thus it results in lower body fat. As long as you have lower bodyfat you will have visible abs. 



What's the ideal body fat you may ask? We I would says 12-14% is ideal for men and if are below that than you will have more visible abs. Untill unless you are dedicated an

d focused on your diet and exercise it's difficult to achieve the goal. There are various dieting methods on cam achieve this, be it low carb diet or keto or having the macros balanced. One should not avoid carbs totally as they are very important in terms of performance and overall health.

Cardio and Martial arts

The amount of cardio needed to do Martial arts or any form of contact sports is tremendous. Cardio is not only essential for getting ripped but also to stay fit and healthy. Its very important to keep yourself in good condition like a finely tuned machine. Trust me benefits of a great cardio will take you a long way. You can pick and do any form of cardio right from walking in the beautiful nature to running on the beach. You can play sports like soccer and swimming. Bicycle riding you have array of options.
I love Muay thai bag workout, punching and kicking working on techniques is a great cardio. Make sure you do cardio at least 2 times a week cardio workout.

Golden era bodybuilding workout

Arnold Schwarzenegger to Frank Zane every legend loved training and those were the golden days of bodybuilding. I absolutely love to train hard and heavy duty style. Training should be intense and rewarding. I believe it's how hard you train and not how long you train. Its been a while since I posted videos or wrote articles. I just have been very busy with life, like we all sometimes do. But then again you get back to doing what you really love to do. For me its training and writing sharing experience and learning.

Mike Mentzer style of Training - EP 7

Welcome to the episode 7 of Mike mentzer style of training. Mike mentzer is an huge inspiration in terms of not only a great bodybuilder but a great mind who went against the grains and came up with his own system of training. I feel his method of training is very good for general public and bodybuilders and athletes. yes, there may be few points which i disagree, but overall he was correct. likewise I like Arthur Jones too. Arthur jones was the one who came with this style of training. He said training should be brief and intense and not long like marathon. There has always been debate whether this form of training can yield great results, well the answer is yes. but again there needs to be little bit of twicking.In terms of bodybuilding many have trained this way, like mike mentzer, Casey victor, Dorian Yates and many more. For past week it's been raining heavily and can't even go out without getting drenched. so i started working out from home whenever I can't make it to gym. Home workout using Mike Mentzer. ARNOLD PRESS 3 SETS OF 20 REPS LAST SET BEING TO FAILURE BICEPS CURLS 4 SETS OF 3 REPS LAST SET BEING TO FAILURE TRICEPS DUMBBELL KICK BACKS 4 SETS OF 3 REPS LAST SET BEING TO FAILURE When the moments are slow you feel Tremendous amount of pump. The key to growth is control over Weights.

The transformation is going good and one thing i would like to point out is whe. I start to lift weights i tend to put on muscle quick. Ofcourse, you do gain fat with that as well. There is no way you can just gain muscle and not fat. This episode on my YouTube channel i share and talk about best training methods, what's worked for me interms of training, rep range and sets.

He made it popular. Train Less and make gain more muscle and cutting down the frequency of workouts.

Body Transformation Leg and Conditioning workout

Build muscle, cut fat and stay jacked. Well, that's what I intended to do. Most of the times we ignore the conditioning of our cardio and body and just focus on one form of training or exercise routine or diet plan.We need variety and fluidity in our approach, sure, use what's worked well for you but always be up for change.
If you follow me be it on YouTube, where I have ton of fitness and bodybuilding videos or Instagram where i share my diet and travel and food and body transformation pictures. You will know I like to train smart and time efficient. This week I did leg day and cardio, jumping rope for good 45 minutes. I did functional fitness and dumbell thrusters. mixing traditional bodybuilding workouts with functional fitness is great and can yield great results. Diet has been pretty clean and cut down on sugar and junk food. My transformation is going good so far and will keep you friends updated.

Fitness and Farm Gym

Two things always brings a smile on my face Fitness and Farm. Both of these are very viral for humans. We need good food, organic food grown and served and physical activity to keep us fit and healthy. 

Farm and gym provides you that, I  love the idea of a farm gym. If you happen to set up a gym at home it's home gym. But having a gym at farm is different experience. How is it different you may ask, the biggest difference is farm gym is always a open gym and it's great to train in an open gym compared to a commercial gym.

Now coming to training routine, i like training intense and progressively over loading muscle. Be it a rep or a set a increase in these factors to increases the chances of gains.

I trained deadlifts for back and dumbbell curls for biceps. I trained shoulders using dumbbell shoulder presses. I did 2 sets of 10 Reps on each exercise.

This is my first workout and vlog on a day in Life. Please subscribe to my youtube channel.
