When you are training in the gym with a gym partner, your performance can greatly improve. Humans generally tend to work well when they have company; this is usually true since man is a social being.

Most successful people plan their work days to a tee. They check their “to do” lists frequently, and they are well aware of how every minute will be spent. They plan their meetings, work loads, and other tasks, and they complete them all in a timely fashion. Whether their career be mowing lawns or conducting heart surgery, they plan a detailed list of tasks, then they complete them.

Most bodybuilders get enough protein in their diet. We might have to jump from a moving train, parachute from a climbing plane, or eat it from the whey container plain, but we’re getting our required daily grams of protein. We find a way.
Once the protein is down the hatch, many bodybuilders tend to become far less concerned with ensuring they eat the correct macro- and micronutrients each day. If protein is the first-tier goal, it’s likely that items such as water, carbohydrates and fats, a multi-vitamin, and whatever supplement we’re experimenting with that week, falls under the auspices of the second-tier list. With each meal, we get our protein religiously, and then we fumble through the second-tier objectives, hoping to cover most of those bases.
But what about the third-tier nutrients? After covering water, all three macronutrients, and vitamins, ...Posted in: Nutrition | | Comments (0)
