Rings — one of the most under-rated workouts:
Full body (without the legs)
If you wanna get insanely ripped and swole, and get really strong and muscular abs, rings are for you.
Hitting more muscular groups
Ideas
- Ring dips [you can jump up on a piece of wood]
- Hold your legs up to exercise your abdominal muscles
- Experiment with different grips (false grip, wrist grip)
More fun!
Imagine yourself like a child. Play on the rings and just experiment!
Flip around, and aim for progression
Keep progressing; this is the goal.
Why are gymnasts so swole?
Gymnasts are insanely swole. Study their workouts, and let us copy them!
And of course; let us not forget to also workout our legs! Thunder thighs is also the goal.
My Muscle Philosophy:
Treat your body as sculpture.
This is not my body
The first thing:
I don’t see my body as belonging to me. I look at my body like it belongs to someone else.
When I look at the Lamborghini of someone else, I admire it. When I see the muscles and physiques of anyone else, I admire it. Then I had the epiphany:
Why not transform my own body into a Lambo, and admire my own body instead?
The logic
The great logic:
- It is far cheaper to get buff than to buy a Lambo.
- The human body is the apex beauty. This means your personal goal in life should be to beautify your own personal body to the maximum (without plastic surgery, steroids, etc).
- Ultimate democratic approach: Genetics doesn’t matter. Sex doesn’t matter. Racial ethnicity doesn’t matter. Anyone can both add muscle mass and subtract fat.
- It doesn’t cost much to get ripped. Just intermittent fast [no breakfast, no lunch], one big ass meal a day, and mostly a ‘ketogenic’ diet.
- Your body is always with you. Why not beautify your body to inspire yourself?
The joy of sculpting your own body
To sculpt your own body is insanely fun. Why? You can see the change over time!
Once again, the goal is simple:
Never stop adding muscle mass, and never stop reducing body fat, or keeping it low (around 10%).
Muscle and your body is highly practical.
The more muscle you have, the more energy you got. The more power you got to make art-work, and live with gratitude, joy, and hyper-vigor.
Strengthen on, and flex on!
