Focus on being fit not abs.

A strong core is essential to our bodies, but I've found in my experience, I'm just not cut out for six pack abs. I have a lean strong stomach from doing deadlifts, front and back squats and hanging leg raises in the Alpha Body Blueprint, but maybe six pack abs aren't everything. Hell, this is a quote from Justin Devonshire from his 21 Day Emergency Muscle Blueprint Program: "Strong midsection: a 6-pack is not always required, but as long as your midsection is hard, robust and strong-looking."
I have a strong mid-section, I eat healthy balanced meals. Granted I like pizza and ice cream; those are my guilty pleasures. But with the kind of job I work at in a factory now, I burn off all the carbs I intake plus working out six days a week (one being an active light weight recovery workout), I've decided I'm just fine.
I've gained muscle in the past five weeks from going through the first phase of ABB two times in a row again. I weigh 167 but it's in muscle. I don't have a gut, and I'm lean and strong. I'll never be an epic action hero, that's life despite what I like to fantasize. The key to getting stronger is sticking with a program that works and getting good at it.
I've thought about doing SixPackShortcuts or tried other programs. They don't click for me like the Alpha Body Blueprint does, and the twenty-seven dollars I paid for it has been worth it. So now I'm just focused on being fit, strong and lean, not movie star caliber, but decent. Also I've started sprinting  a few days a week because heck, it's summer time, and I love the outdoors. So I'm off for now. Remember find a workout plan that clicks for you and stick with it, and high frequency training is what I love. I look forward to working out now that it's become such an integral part of my life. Adios.

Just another blog

I really can't come up with a title for this blog other than it just being another blog. Forgive me if I ramble in this one folks, you see I've been busy. I currently have a new job with full time hours, right now I'm working through a temp agency at a local office furniture factory and I enjoy it immensely. Here's a few things that's been on my mind.
Sometimes life as we all know doesn't turn out how we plan; me I wanted to be a famous author at one point and for years I kept looking for a shortcut to that. There are no shortcuts to greatness; as with anything, and this is what working out has taught me especially this year, it takes time, patience and with all caps EFFORT! When I first started writing and originally wrote a book called UnLocked Secrets The Beginning, I was an american fundamentalist churchian or christian whichever you want to use. That's a whole other story for another time.
But the point is, I had actually put effort into writing that book and I accomplished something. My whole problem has been wanting a shortcut and things just to miraculously happen; I became an over-thinker because of what some critic or more "established" writer would say. I don't mind criticism as long as it's constructive. Within my head, I'd constructed a whole universe that I wanted to put down on paper, but somehow along the way with emotional, mental, and financial issues, I lost that drive.
You can't let anything stand in the way of your dreams. That's why I had such fun writing The Cyberbird; I had published it on Amazon.com but was discouraged cause of literally no sales. Instead of taking the risks to promote it, I became distracted by social media, and became over thinking with the story, instead of it just being what I'd wanted it to be. A crazy ass written version to tokusatsu, specifically The Kamen Rider and Garo series, and the animes Bio-booster Armor Guyver and Karas The Prophecy and Revelation.
I worried about were the characters deep enough, should I have more heroes? But I've come to the conclusion the story is perfect even with its flaws. It's my story that I chose to wrote. Sure eventually I'll have Aaron Anders and Xelbrius fighting extraterrestial descendants of angels as far out as it sounds, but it's supposed to be far out. And the other heroes like The Radical and ShadowLight, it's meant be crazy sci-fi maybe sometimes random action
A psychotic yet calculating general who is one of the planet's best fighters is out done by a rookie who takes to fighting styles naturally? That's crazy, and you know what it's meant to be fun. My characters Aaron and Xelbrius are heroes but flawed, and smartasses. They don't get along all the time, and that's the story I'll show. Fighting a giant Turduckensaurus at Macy's thanksgiving day parade? That's gonna be helluva funny to write. I'd written it but deleted it cause I wanted to be more "serious".
But come on, tokusatsu is known for  it's crazy cheesiness. Yes, there can be serious good moments in the story, but not everything has to be grim dark, and I think in writing this I've gotten my spark back. So tonight I'm republishing The Cyberbird as Ra'a the Cyberbird, and moving forward with Rise of the Heroes in tribute to Iron Savior's 2014 album Rise of the Hero. So adieu and the season finale of Grimm awaits me in six minutes.
