8 Week Goals

So it's the fourth day in a row I haven't lifted and I feel absolutely terrible. Thursday, I got nose surgery (nose broken in four places, including deviated septum). Since then I have spent my days lying around, watching Netflix movies, and sleeping like a baby. Though I enjoyed the downtime for the first day and a half or so, since then I have just been miserable.

Doctor said I am out until Friday and I am counting the days. My point being from all of this, be thankful for your health. If you're able to get out and hit the gym or be active, go do it! There are plenty of people who are born with disabilities and as much as they would love to, they are not physically able to go out and maintain a healthy lifestyle. God gave you your bodies and your health for a reason, don't take them for granted.

Anyways.... These off days I have set my goals for the next two months:

• Be able to bench 275 pounds
• Drink only water throughout the day every single day to maintain a healthy lifestyle (no soda)
• Squat 300 pounds
• Work on abs EVERY single day I am in the gym

These are all reasonable goals for myself that I plan on reaching.

Even though I am itching to get back in the gym and am not able to lift yet, I will still post a killer chest workout for all you people who hit chest every Monday

Incline Bench- 5 sets 6 reps, last set burnout

Flat Bench Dumbells- 5 sets 6 reps, last set burnout

Machine Presses- 5 sets 6 reps, last set burnout

Finish up with 100 push ups 

Abs Superset- Frozen Crosses 45 seconds X  Russian Twists 50 reps (3 sets)

Keys to this workout

• keep rest in between 45 seconds - 1 minute
• push yourself to go as heavy as possible, but still get every single rep
• on burnout sets go for at least 20-30 reps

 So go out there and set goals for yourselves. Before I let you all go, I just want to reiterate on my second goal. Only water. Drinking only water benefits us in ways we don't even realize. A few ways it helps you...

1. boosts metabolism
2. burns more calories naturally
3. energizes muscles... also helps muscles repair faster and more efficiently after a killer lift
4. good for organs

You would not believe the amount of sugar that is in soft drinks these days. Cutting out soda of your diet can substantially help you achieve your fitness goals. Anyways, just keep all this in mind.
