Supplement Of The Month – APS MESOMORPH

 

MESOMORPH_rocketpopThis week i headed over to One Stop Nutrition, out here in Awhatukee, Arizona. I was checking out all the pre workout’s, and I decided to go with APS’s “Mesomorph” Ultimate Pre-workout Complex. This supplement was brought to my attention by a class mate i had military training with. Anyhow, the flavor is, “rocket-pop” which tastes just like a popsicle.

I go to take a scoop, and it probably took about 15-20 minutes to kick it. As soon as it kicked in , everything immediately became clear, and I was really urged to start my workout. In my workout, I’m noticing i had a phenominal pump compared to usual. I definetely stayed concentrated on my time between sets, and finishing each set.

So if i was to grade this supplement on a scale of 1-10, I’m going to have to go with a 9. It was one of those preworkouts, that really gets your shit going, and keeps you focused until the finish.

Eyes on the prize.

Its been awhile since i’ve made a post. Since i’ve gotten out of the army, I’ve ran into numerous obstacles its not even funny. The important thing is i keep pushing until I’m satisfied. Im definitely on track. Just recently got in touch with a good coach for this year. I am so pumped about it. I took a break for about a month when i left to Tennessee, but i am back into the groove of things. It was good to give my body a break. Big things ahead for me. Just have to be patient.

Concentrating on your goals.

Concentrating on your goals is a lot like having a relationship with a woman. If you love her, devote to her, never cheat on her, and stay loyal to her it will be a beautiful thing. If you aren’t persistent, and you’re not focused, you will lose sight on what you want, ultimately setting you back from completing your goal. So stay loyal, and focused on your goals, and you can do anything you put your mind to.

Drink Water!

Water makes up 60 percent of a persons body weight. Water intake comes through food digestion, and of course beverage consumption. On a daily average, you should be taking in between two, and three liters to balance out water loss. If you’re needing rapid rehydration for excessive dehydration you can drink 1.5 liters of fluid per hour until your body is replenished. 

Top 10 ways to kick start your gym life

Now that the holidays are done, and over with. Its time to evaluate where we are physically, and figure out how much we would like to improve. Here’s 10 tips to improve your gym life this year.

 
1.) Determine your goal. “What do you want your body to look like? What are you training for, a marathon, powerlifting, crossfit, bodybuilding competition, or even just to look good?”
2.) Design a workout plan to cater toward your goal.  If you don’t know where to start, apply yourself, go online to fitness websites such as bodybuilding.com, or hire a personal trainer.
3.) Find a workout partner that has similar goals as you.
4.) Make a playlist of music that will motivate you/pump you up.
5.) Go online and find the proper supplements to cater toward your goals if you think it’s necessary.
6.) Eat clean, and train dirty. Discipline, and great habit will pay off toward your goals. 
7.) Stay consistent. Success will not happen overnight ladies, and gents. It will take sweat, hard work, and consistency. So, be patient, and stay strong!
8.) Don’t be scared. Everyone needs to start somewhere, and everyone won’t lift the same amount of heavy weights, or run 10 miles straight.
9.) Grab some gym gear. “When you look great, and feel great, you will be great.” 
10.) Shower yourself in motivation everyday. YOU are in the gym for YOUR own reasons. When you have the feeling of motivation, do something with it. Think of the gym as your own stress free sanctuary. When you step in, you leave all stress, and negative thoughts at the front door, and when you walk out you feel excellent. 
 
These are a few tips to help jump start your gym life. Follow them, and I’m 100% sure it will help. If you have any questions, email me.

I have a total of 125 days left in this army, and I am very excited to get the hell out, and accomplish my goals. I was kind of hoping that we didnt have to work tomorrow, but EVERYONE is going in, “ONE TEAM, ONE FIGHT.” Its all good though. I cant complain its not too bad. Image  This picture was taken in Summer of 2012 in BAF, Afghanistan.
