Welcome to hustletofit.com! Here, I share my daily routines, diet, and experiences with all of you. My name is Rahul, and I’m 35 years old. In my last post, I shared how my weight reached 110kg and how I embarked on the path to fitness.
Today, I reached the gym at 8:30 in the morning, and as always, I started with stretching. Stretching is incredibly important if you want to avoid injuries, so make sure to do a warm-up before starting your workout.
After warming up, since it’s Tuesday, I normally train my biceps. However, today I needed to train dual muscles, so I focused on biceps and back. Whenever you train dual muscles, you should first target the larger muscle group and then the smaller one. I didn’t know this initially—it was my friend, who works out with me, that told me later. So, as I was unaware, I trained my biceps first and then back. Let me share the downside of this approach: doing exercises for smaller muscles can make you so fatigued that when it comes to larger muscles, you may not be able to train them with the same efficiency. And that’s exactly what happened to me today. While I managed to do sets of biceps exercises with dumbbells weighing 12.5kg to 15kg, I struggled with lifting 50kg during back exercises, which I usually handle with ease.
Despite that, today’s workout was great overall, and I felt really good afterward. For breakfast, I had two fenugreek rotis with mint chutney and yogurt. Then, for lunch at the office, I had vegetable millet upma with 250 grams of yogurt. Since paneer curry was served in the canteen today, I took a small portion of that as well. For dinner, I ate soy curry, two rotis, and mint chutney.
Tomorrow morning at the gym, I’ll be working on chest, triceps, and shoulders. Now it’s time for me to sleep, so I can get a good night’s rest and allow my body to recover properly. I’ll meet you all tomorrow with a new experience. Good night!
