Here are a few mistakes you are most likely to make:

 1. You don’t train your legs

That, right there, is one of the foolish things a trainee can do. The muscles of the legs (quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes) are one of the biggest and strongest muscles of your body and possess a huge potential for growth. Also, most of the power in sports and general strength activities is generated by legs for the same reason. There isn’t a single martial arts fighter or wrestler with weak legs. So stop curling so much and start squatting at least twice a week.


2. You are partial to a certain type of exercise

If you do press exercises in a disproportionately large volume as compared to pull exercises, you will definitely have posture issues and your strength will stall. This also works conversely. Do both, and bring your body up to speed proportionately.


3. You are partial to a certain plane of motion

Many people who bench press much more than overhead press generate shoulder issues later on. Also, most people work their upper back more than their lats, causing a higher probability of spinal problems. The key is to bring a workable balance in doing both.




4. You try to isolate your muscles too much

Trainees who emphasize on leg extensions and leg curls instead of just plain old heavy squatting end up becoming quad or glute dominant. Compound exercises are your best bet in bringing your muscles up to optimal strength together.


As you can see, it is vital to keep the strength levels of complementary muscles in mind in building a strong, good-looking body.


Until next time, train hard and stay strong!

What is the basics of a ketogenic diet ?

 What is a keto diet? Keto or ketosis is a process of your body using fat as fuel for energy, rather than carbohydrates. To understand everything about keto we also need to understand that the body primarily uses carbohydrates as energy or fuel. Once you shut those down, the body then starts using fats and produces ketones. Once your body is producing ketones, this means that now your body will be using fat as energy rather than carbs. Thus, a beginners guide to ketosis would state the keto diet as a high-fat, moderate protein and extremely low carb diet. What? You can burn fat by eating fat? Yes you can, but not the ghee you put on your paratha’s. Healthy fats that help you attain good cholesterol. But how is this even possible? Well the body actually prefers to use glucose i.e. glycogen for fuel. That essentially means that your body will use carbs first and fat later. Eating carbs also increases insulin which promotes fat storage. Essentially by taking a high fat, low carb appro...

In order to sustain quality workouts, you must fuel up your body with relevant foods, for energy and repair, before and after you exercise. Let’s take a look at a few foods for your pre workout We all know that protein is vital for muscle growth and carbs are crucial for energy, but certain foods are better than others for fueling up your body before you work out.
