Do I put this here or on the other side? Is it backwards or do I have it right this time? Once its on there what do you do with it? I thought this stuff was basic and simple.
INTRODUCTION
Theres a time and place for everything. For every action there is a moment. Some folks, the planners, need to know the time and place before events occur and find it helpful to outline them in advance. Gives one a goal a sense of direction and control. Others, the note keepers fascinated by the transpiring of events, record them as they happen. This act gives time and place substance and concretenessthe events are truly taking place. There are those who prepare future events by considering the time and place of past events, and in this case, the sets, reps and weight. We call them strategists. Todays action is directly related to the action of yesterday and the days before. I know some people who find the experience of being more complete if they are writing about it, pen and paper and mind synchronized with the moment. Students of life. Finally, the historians find pleasure in nostalgia, deja vu, reviewing the past and learning from its success and mistakes. Recalling and remembering bring joy to the present and fortification to the days ahead. The training record is an important tool in the eager hands of the beginning lifter and in the calloused and chalk-covered grip of the pro. A comprehensive list of the exercises, sets, reps and weights are invaluable to the guy or gal starting out on the invigorating trail of fitness and hard work. A clear pattern of exercises written in the black and white of your own hand allows you to concentrate on muscle resistance and exercise form, the sounds and smell of your surroundings and the purpose of your endeavors. Everything is under control; you can record the statistical particulars, feelings, concerns and inspirations in your personal log to deepen them in your mind and to ponder and review at a later datetomorrow, next year. Order in your training is a key to weight training advancement and the order gained in your training and record keeping is an advantage in your life. Strength and performance development is evident in your notes and your notes assist in making the progress. Comparisons of sets to sets, reps to reps, weight to weight and workout to workout all add to your constant strain to press on.
Professional athletes very often record and calculate their workouts precisely with definite long-term plans laid out. Remarks are scribbled in short hand, the tone and direction of the days work defined in a language meaningful only to them. Training diaries are precious and guarded by life. Just as the records kept free your mind to focus on your exercise, so does record keeping draw you into your training. It becomes comfortable, compartmental and whole and significantly personal, a stirring current in your pressure forward. You will find your commitment becomes more robust as you take the moments to open the pages and fill in the blanks. The moments are yours, you notice, and soon brief conversational observations line the pages, administering advice and hope and audience. Youre learning and growing, day by day, page by page.
NUTRITION RULES
Good nutrition, like good training, is simple learn the basics and practice them consistently. A little knowledge and a lot of discipline is the secret. Apply yourself diligently; look ahead, dont look back and dont look for shortcuts. There simply arent any. Health and fitness has climbed to the top of our popularity list and has become big business. As youve noticed, theres a gym on every corner and a glut of diet and bodybuilding formulas to pack on muscle and burn off fat. Competition is fierce, the promises are bizarre and were all confused, suspicious and eventually numb. We have on our hands a zillion ways to diet, feed ourselves and live our lives for fitness. Lets summarize the fundamental nutritional facts, manipulate them and determine an eating plan that is sensible, agreeable and appropriate for you. Well do it together. Not a high-wire act under which there is no net, but an on-going, rewarding and healthy lunge forward. First, lets clear the air and put a few things in order.
brown rice, hamburger patty and red potato, cottage cheese and fruit, chicken and salad, etc. Youll notice that sandwiches are not in my top-five list. Discover TupperWare and packet-size meal replacement powders. RULE # 4 Newsflash: To gain weight, eat more. Assuming youre hitting the weights, be prepared for solid bulk weight; lean muscle mass exclusively is a daydream. To lose weight, eat less, still as often. Dont starve the muscle. RULE # 5 I have always instinctively leaned toward a higher intake of protein over carbohydrate to build a lean body. Emphasize protein. Vegetarians, take particular care in order to get plenty of protein in your diet. RULE # 6 Between-meal snacking for the trainee looking to gain weight is okay if the snack is truly nutritious no junk. Dont let snacks be a substitute for a complete meal or become a weak habit. You who are seeking weight loss, consider snacking counterproductive. Good snacks are fruits or vegetables, jerky, protein energy bars, yogurt, cottage cheese and light protein drinks. RULE # 7 Simple carbohydrates (sugar, honey, soft drinks, candy and cakes) provide us with a quick pick-up but let us down just as quickly. Excessive sugar plays havoc with our insulin metabolism and leads to fatigue, poor performance and fat storage. Not good. RULE # 8 Fuel up before your workout. Eat a small, easily digested meal about an hour before you train (also a good time to stock your creatine stores). With protein and complex carbohydrates in your system, youll train harder, longer and with more enthusiasm. You wont experience low blood sugar jitters or dizziness; youll get a great pump and probably hit that last rep. RULE # 9 Similarly, you need to eat a hearty protein meal with plenty of carbs within forty-five minutes of completion of your workout. This is necessary to provide the muscle-building materials to repair depleted tissue and begin the process of building new muscle. Big Tip whey protein drinks work great here, as well as for pre-workout fuel. Again, restore creatine levels. RULE #10 The most important ingredient in your body is plain water. The quality of your tissues, their performance and their resistance to failure is absolutely dependent on the quality and quantity of the water you drink. Flood yourself throughout the day, especially during the workout. RULE #11 Sleep, rest and relaxation are of prime importance. Its during periods of sound sleep that our bodies recuperate and build muscle tissue.
RULE #12 Regard the twelve rules listed and the underlying premise of the chapter (to build muscle and lose fat) as a regular life-long, life-rewarding priority, one that hones discipline and is honed by that same discipline. I dare to say that only a fool regards them as less. Delight in the journey, day by day, for good. Logical, easy to understand and time-tested, these basic precepts and their observation are not a disciplinary nightmare and do not lead to depression and withdrawal. Pause for a moment: Think clearly. You have not taken on a project like cleaning out the garage or improving your golf swing. You have undertaken the life-long process of fitness, building and maintaining vital muscle, losing burdensome fat. Does this overwhelm and dishearten you? I understand. What disheartens me is the dismal alternative. The task is easy, a daily practice without beating yourself, expecting perfection or scrutinizing the subject. Discounting laziness, lack of ambition, irresponsibility and other similar disabilities, only one enemy stands in your way: doubt, the devils deception, also knows as negativity, misperception and poor attitude. Persistent, positive performance, confrontation and contempt the enemy cannot withstand. He will fall and fall hard. Fight the good fight.

I offer you this diet as a sample or template from which you might arrange your own well balanced muscle-building, fat-burning plan. Doesnt take much creativity to give the available choices gourmet appeal without adding undesirable calories. Cover meat with sauteed muschrooms and onions, flood with spicy tomato sauce or salsa, add fancy stirfried vegetables and finish with frozen yogurt and strawberries. Its imperative to alter the serving sizes to accommodate your caloric needs; you are welcome to add or replace equal value foods according to your taste. Its up to you. There are no grand secrets here, there or anywhere. Its interesting to note that this same outline could have been written thirty years ago, or in 1980 or 1990. Not much has changed. Me? Im just older and leaner and bear a few more dings. Of course, for all of this I thank God.
