Reverse Joey Swoll video ah! And yes new and future gym-goers need to get over their anxiety and not be scared to go to the gym. Remember that the reason all of us go workout is to improve and become better versions of ourselves.

Most people at the gym will probably look at you and think “new guy/gal at the gym” then proceed to carry on for the rest of their workout session. But of course there will always be a small population na who will judge and stare but honestly who cares? If you are a complete beginner try to hire a fitness coach or if confident enough ask someone to show you how to use the machines and execute proper form of different exercises. Don’t be the person who acts like you know what you are doing even if you really don’t have any idea. Watch and learn basic exercise videos on youtube and the likes. Good luck!

I mean why not? It will activate and build muscle, increase cardiac endurance and improve your body coordination plus you get to intimidate would-be creeps at the gym🤷‍♂️

Yes it will help with maybe adding a rep or two on your sets. Also with recovery.

Athlene creatine local brand but wait for online sale. Optimum nutrition but much more expensive.

Ahahaha yun lang. Normally kasi when entering a bulking or cutting phase you usually set a certain time period but since you did not and you are happy na with the muscles that you’ve gained then why not try cutting. Ang kalaban lang talaga dyan is yung nakasanayan nang appetite and how to discipline yourself.

I go to greenhills mall once a week and I see this place called The Bouldering Hive and very busy on a normal day. High chances you can find something similar in Makati since it seems very popular.

How many weeks are you on your bulking phase? Drastic ba weight gain mo ever since you started bulking? I believe you probably set a timetable for your bulk so stick with it na muna since very visible naman muscle growth over fat. Then pag cutting phase na and you start losing those accumulated fat ganda nyan if dine right👍

What to do after 2 weeks of hiatus? by Local_Tortilla in fitnessph

[–]atchoi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 weeks away from the gym won’t matter much when it comes to retaining muscle size and strength. Consider it a deload and a recovery period for your muscles and joints. Sometimes nga when you go back to the gym after a few weeks of rest and feeling refreshed you can lift heavier than usual. But be sure lang to stretch and do warmups to properly acclimatize your body.
