How I Workout at my Home Gym

My workouts:

Just make the best of what you got

Every home gym is different and that is cool. Just be flexible and make the best of what you got.

Have fun

Warmup with yoga-style things (like pigeon pose, etc). No need to make it boring. Keep it short, effective, and make it feel good for you.

Do it all

Do any workouts which give you a good pump. Deadlift, squats, military press, etc. No need for a bench or fancy equipment.

Fuck proper form

This ain’t school or a competition. You’re not getting graded here. Just workout for yourself, get the gains, get the good pump, and strive to build your muscle!

Get a good apartment with a good gym

Hopefully with barbells and some dumbbells. The more weights and the heavier weights, the better.

One rep max attempts

Try to lift the maximum weight given a certain weight, just once.

Warm up and work your way up to it.

My philosophy

Keep it simple, have fun, and always strive to do a ‘kaizen’ approach; 1% more!

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:

  1. It is far cheaper to get buff than to buy a Lambo.
  2. 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).
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
