So, let's get in good shape.

Well, I am not that fit, nor do I have any Abs but I have been blessed by Lord Thor and his hammer has touched my soul and hence I have decided to dive into getting in decent shape.

Now the problem is, I stuck between two approaches. Both are great and the gains are worth noting.

For example using the body weight exercises you go from this:

To this in 7 months:

And the routine this dude followed is simple,

Eat well, avoid junk food and use this routine.

10 Diamond Pushups (3 sets)

10 Decline Pushups (3 sets)

Now there is another approach which I am trying but I just discovered the body weight results and I just started so I am going to venture into the hybrid zone.

I know it's extensive, I just started with 5 reps per 3 sets with leg workout. Which took a while but since I am learning and experimenting, I made sure to go slow.

Now, I want to add the complete routine from body weight and then compliment it with Dumb bells and then bar bells. It's quite easy and will take 1 month before I get into a routine. If I keep my projected routine in place and eat well, I can bulk up and gain good muscles in a short amount of time.

That kid has a lot of advantage but I am hoping to beat this time and get some decent gains in 5-6 months!


Anyone into working out, post!
