In March, I was focusing on progressive overload for the lower body, but now I have a whole new workout split. It is similar in goal (hypertrophy and progressive overload), but is much more focused and more specific. I wanted to amp things up so that I would actually have a plan to stick to, and hopefully see better results and more progress! Since I am still training for my marathon, I have one long run day on the weekends, and four heavy hypertrophy days. The other day is a core strength/ calisthenics workout. This is mostly based off functional training , which I've have been learning more about! On the four days of hypertrophy training, each exercise is performed for 8-12 reps, 3-5 sets each. Let's get into the workout! Monday: Upper Body Bench Press Bent Over Row Front Press Upright Row Reverse Flies Tuesday: Lower Body Back Squat  Stiff-legged Deadlifts Bulgarian Split Squats Hamstring Curls Calf Raises Wednesday: Core/ Calisthenics  Exa...

Hello everyone, and Happy March! I have been so busy catching up on homework and reports and whatnot, but I am back! I have posted about my personal workout splits and nutrition before, so I thought a little update would be nice! At the end, I will also post a killer leg workout I did yesterday ( warning: my friend did this with me, and she is unbelievably sore now!!!!) I had previously posted that I was doing a mini bulk followed by a mini cut. Now that those four weeks have ended, I have a new plan. Since eating well is the hardest part of fitness for me, I just wanted to focus on eating good foods- just eat around my maintenance calories . This means that I eat around the same number of calories I burn everyday. I am not trying to lose or gain weight, just create a healthier relationship with food so I can fuel my body right. It's also worth mentioning that I am gradually increasing my calories every week or so by 50-100 calories; this is my own kind of reverse diet , to in...

Hello again! I have been sharing with you some of my own workouts, along with some recipes, but I want to actually take you through a full day of what I eat! I will be sharing those through out the next four weeks especially, as I am going through two different phases of caloric intake! I am going to give bulking another try ! But only for a short period of 2 weeks, so I would not count this as a full on "bulk" per se, but my calories will be slightly increased to help my efforts to put on some muscle! The reason it is so short, is because my school is having a banquet in about four weeks, and I don't want to be carrying any extra fluff! There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a little extra body fat, especially especially when trying to bulk and gain muscle, but me personally I want to look my best on this special night! I also want to see how my body responds to bulking for two weeks, then cutting for two weeks. I have read about some men doing what they call...

Happy New Year everyone!! I know it has been so so long since I last posted- but I am changing all of that!! I have been sporadically posting since 2012, but now I am making a commitment to be active on this blog:))) I am seriously thinking about expanding this to other social media, and really growing this blog/idea/brand/whatever you want to call it. I will keep you guys updated on that as things start coming together;)  I have a lot of goals for this year, and being on this blog is one of them!! I am so excited to see what happens! Anyways, about that crazy, even scary, word in the title of this post. Marathon. Some shudder, some are amazed, some are excited, and some people go into hiding when they hear this word. And yes it's true, I am training for a marathon. How cool is that?!?! Some of you know I ran a half marathon in August of 2016. I was planning to run a full marathon, and exhilarating 26.2 miles, in 2017, but I wanted to focus on building muscle after an...
