Its all done

Well my project came to a end just the other for I just did my presentation and it went really well.

Somethings I learnt was that it is a lot harder to gain muscle weight when you are skinny and tall. That is when you are skinny and tall you have more body to fill and your muscles are stretched over a longer limb. Second I learnt that its not good to work the same muscles every day because then you can really hurt them because you are over using them. Thirdly its not healthy to work out every day and not give your muscles a rest and let them heal. Also for a fourth thing I learned that lots and lots of guys my age are told every day by media that they are only good looking when they look like a actor. When really that's totally not realistic.

My mentor was my dad because when he was younger he played football and so he knows a lot about working out, eating right and also what work outs work which muscles. Another tool I used to learn was a YouTube channel called six pack shortcuts. I didn't really use it for workouts but more as a source to learn how I can build more muscle in my eating and other things.

Now that its all done my favorite part was hanging with my dad and how much he encouraged me to push out each last rep for each workout. Also my second favorite part was seeing the results of the hard work I was putting in, although I only started to see results toward the end.  

For the skinny guys

One thing I learnt was that it is a lot harder for a tall skinny guy to gain muscle weight because there is a bigger muscle to fill the body. So for all the guys that are like me and find it hard these are a few tips to try and get you going in the right direction.

1. eat your favourite foods: This is because you need more calories to put on more weight. This also makes your appetite bigger so you can eat more and put some more weight. This is also because normally people tell them selves don't eat lots of burgers and hot dogs, but I'm telling you do that eat all that stuff. But you still have to work out.

2. Eat dessert after meals: This bumps up your calorie intake.

3. set and alarm for every 2 hours: This is so every 2 hours you should have a little snack so that you are building a bigger metabolism.

Pulled Muscle

Just a little while ago I was experiencing pain behind my leg and I thought I might have pulled something so I did some research and tried to figure it out on my own. At first I thought the pain was coming from my lateral hamstring tendons were located. These lateral hamstrings connect to the biceps femoris to the fibula. Later when I went to a physiotherapist I found out that......i......was......totally........wrong! It ended up being lower down in my calf. I pulled a muscle in my my calf, it was the muscle that made me able to do explosive movements, so it took me right out of volleyball and basketball for 3 weeks.

Now that I am doing better I have now injured my back because of over using it. What happened was i was going to volleyball, which uses a lot of upper back muscles, then i would go home and do wide fly to work my shoulders out and back and because of this constant over use a super sore back came as a result. In hind sight its always good to take rest days.
