Dare to Be Different-Ep. 106
Why You Should Dare to be Different!
Go on and dare to be different! When it comes to our dreams and goals, we can sometimes feel a bit uneasy about them because we’re afraid of what other people may think of them. Hopefully you know people in your life who are supportive of your decisions. If people are negative, you shouldn’t let that get in the way of who you want to become and what you want to do with your life.
On this week’s podcast, Rob shares with us why it’s okay to be different and why you shouldn’t hold back on what you want to do with your life. If your goal is to become a healthier person, you shouldn’t worry whether it’s “normal” or not to pick healthier options. Don’t let society and unsupportive people hold you back just because what you’re doing with your life is different than what other people do.
Rob and Devon love to answer any of your health and wellness questions! This week, Rob took sometime to answer one listener’s question on how to gain muscle fast. Check it out!
How to Gain Muscle
One of our listeners, Chris, has turned his life around by making significantly healthier choices. His decision to life a healthy lifestyle has helped him lose 50 pounds! Continuing to focus on his health and fitness, Chris asked Rob about how can he gain muscle mass.
What new exercises should he do? What should he pay attention to as far as what his body is telling him? Can he take extra protein and if so, how much of it should he have?
To gain muscless mass, Rob’s suggestion is to mix up your workout to confuse the body’s muscles and to strengthen everything. Different programs like P90X includes a 6 day program to give you a great variety of different types of cardio with bands and HIIT workouts to build strong muscles. However, a program like P90X won’t necessarily help person gain bigger muscles.
Having Difficulty Gaining Muscle?
If you’ve hit a road block with gaining muscle mass, try using heavier weights that work your arms, legs, back, and core to trigger adaptation and force your muscles to work harder than they were before. Add weights to different body core exercises like pull-ups, crunches, and lunges. You don’t need to lift a lot of weights, just try rotating it in once or twice a week with a program like P90X.
How Much Protein Should You Intake?
As far as protein intake (grams) for a moderately active person, the most the average person can really have is 50% of their body weight. So if you weight 200 pounds, you should take 100 grams. If you are taking supplements or steroids, then you can take more protein because your muscles can handle the extra amount.
