masterpiece mondays: parallettes
it's coming close, i've almost gained a full year at my gym as a trainer. one year, already? during the past few months my ideologies towards improving the human body and mind has evolved, refined and revolved numerous times.
two of the revelations that i've come to understand are:
1. the exercises you hate most or the training protocols you despise practicing, are probably the ones you need to do more often
- you're only as strong as your weakest link so if you hate doing something, whether that something be leg exercises, cardiovascular training or developing the posterior muscles of your body (the back, rhomboids, posterior deltoids and triceps) - the muscle that you can't appreciate in the mirror, then you should be doing more to improve these areas. do what you hate is my motto. that way you'll develop a love for them.



2. lo-technology = high intensity
i don't give a damn about the latest fitness trends out there. the most primitive equipment (jump ropes, climbing ropes, chinning bars), or lack thereof, is usually the most effective. how often do you see line ups at the chin up bar rather than the bench press? tomorrow, i'm building myself a set of parallettes, not because i miss gymnastics class from university but because they're cheap and to the point. you want true strength that actually has function in the real world, try pulling your own weight, your own bodyweight.
