Nicolas introduction

Hello, my name is Nicolas

My goal is to have an athletically strong body. By that, I mean to increase my functional strength in all my major muscle groups, in order to improve all aspects of my life. Currently, I weigh 61kg and I aim to maintain my weight, or with the increasing muscle mass, gain a little extra weight. I wish to increase the mass of my arms and develop my abdominal muscles. This will be accomplished by working on push-ups, pull-ups, planks, crunches, etc. The methods I will be using to measure my progress will be both quantitative and qualitative. For the arms, I will be counting how many push-ups I can do until failure, and by measuring the circumference of my arm. For the abs, I will take regular pictures every week to measure progress. To increase the difficulties of the workout, I plan to use various modifications of one exercise e.g. the push-up, and I will provide videos on how those modifications can be done. Along with increasing the difficulty, the modifications will focus on targeting certain muscles in that muscle group, for example, focusing on triceps instead of biceps. I feel that this workout is aimed towards skinny people like me, who aim to increase their muscle mass and strength. Eating three regular sized meals with small snacks in between will control diet. This will prevent hunger as well as maintain enough calories to allow for muscle growth. Cardio will have to be implemented in order to prevent fat gain. The obstacles that I will be facing are laziness and diet. Motivation will play a key role in maintaining my regimen. Progress can only be seen with hard work and dedication and this can only be done with motivation. A little daily reminder should be enough to stay motivated. Another obstacle I would face is my diet. Sometimes there are family outings and gatherings with friends. On these days, I cannot control what I eat, so I will try eating only the healthiest options or have a couple cheat days. I look forward to seeing the progress in the future and will keep you updated.
