Why I stopped giving fitness tips and advice…

Some may wonder why I don’t write about fitness too much anymore, whether it will be on here or in facebook. It’s not that I’m giving up fitness & bodybuilding. I’ll never give it up. I’m still going and still committed. I stopped giving fitness tips ’cause I don’t want to be looked at as an online fitness guru. I don’t really need that kind of attention. Plus, I still have lots of learning and plenty of work to do, before people start taking my advice seriously. I would like to become a certified personal trainer someday, but I’m going to wait for a long while for that. I want to wait to get a good enough physique and wait to have many years of experience, ’cause for right now, I’m still just a beginner, and a noob at Bodybuilding. This is like what, my 5th year doing it, I think? Pretty sure it is.

I still do write about fitness sometimes though as you can tell. I work out 3 days a week, not 4 like most people. I think 4 is just over training, just my opinion. The less you do, the better results you get. I don’t stay in the gym for too long, I’ll see the same guys in the gym for hours, when all you really need is 10 to 30 minutes in the gym, that’s it. I just go in there and do a couple of quick things.

I’m also finding that free weights are more effective than the machines. I only use the machines for just a few things and doing free weight stuff mostly, either barbell or dumbbell stuff. The only things I use the machines for is the leg press, ham string curl, and those v shaped thigh machine things. Whenever I don’t want to use the ham string curl machine, I’m finding that the stiffed dumbbell deadlift is the best workout for hamstrings. Do the stiffed dumbbell deadlift, that will make your hamstrings feel weird for the next few days. Stiffed dumbbell deadlift is my favorite workout. May sound boring but it’s great. I think the barbell deadlift is overrated and pretty dangerous to do. The dumbbell deadlift is safer. I don’t squat or deadlift with barbells. I know both workouts are very popular, but I like to find workouts that not a lot of people are doing.

Back to the topic, I don’t want to be an online fitness guru, ’cause I don’t think I’ll be good at doing that. I don’t need that competition with the other guys. I want to be known as a musician and entertainment blogger. I will still write about fitness of course, but only if it’s something that’s worth it. Those fitness gurus online are just as crazy as musicians are. All fitness gurus want to think they’re smart and think they know everything, they all have their own opinion and views. Different ways of teaching things.

Maybe I’ll post new progress pics soon. I haven’t done that in a while either.
