Long overdo Nick Update #1

ALRIGHT.

So some(all) may have been wondering: where in the name of almighty hell is Nick?

Well I am now here, laying my blessing upon ye with mine magical and mighty words. Basically, I injured a part of my foot while playing with my dog. While running past the metal legs of my desk here, I smashed my little toe into one of the very hard, very metal legs. I either broke a part of my foot, or fractured it. I don't know, I didn't go to a doctor. I just decided to wait till it healed up.

Now you may not think that's a big deal, but 90% of my exercises require my feet to be in vigorous use, and 99% of them require me to be standing. So yeah it pretty much put a hamper on the whole thing.

Now I am back in business, and with an added twist that will make my exercises much more beneficial.

My old routine consisted of me simply doing each of my exercises once per day. So for instance, my hindu squats, my plan was to do 30 of them for a week, then increase it to 40 for a week, then 50 for a week. And if I felt like I needed more time, I could do 40 for two weeks or something.

This is something I've done before, and it didn't work out too well. It was basically like my legs weren't improving in strength enough, or fast enough, to consistently increase my reps. Not knowing a better way though, I decided to try it again and see if I could modify it along the way if some inspiration struck me.

However, I came upon a wonderful tidbit of an exercise tip. And that tip was to do your exercises TWICE per day. To do a set of reps that you can handle, twice a day. The idea of this is to double the amount of reps you can handle, instead of doing it all at once. It tricks your body into improving and strengthening faster and more effectively. So for instance, I would do 30 squats in the morning, then 30 in the afternoon, for a total of 60 squats. Much better than 30! So by the end of the week, my legs will have a much better workout, increasing the speed and quality of their growth. So when I start doing 40 at once, I'll be doing a total of 80, and then 50, for a total of 100. By the time I can do 100 squats in a row I'll really be doing 200! It's pretty awesome. Oh and if you think that's a lot, this one guy named Karl Gotch, who was known as "The God of Wrestling" in Japan, did 9000 squats in a row. It took him four hours.

Anyways, I'll be using this for other exercises as well. My pushups, my bridging, and so on and so forth.

So yes, I'm back in business! Expect more posts from me more often from now on.
