Unleashing the Power of Progressive Overload: A Comprehensive Workout Plan
This is my progressive overload workout plan. As you can see from the pictures above, this routine is designed to target all the major muscle groups and body parts. Additionally, you have the option to include a biceps workout on day 6, allowing you to train both your biceps and triceps twice a week.

Breaking Barriers: The 2nd Phase Beginner Workout to Overcome Plateaus
Hi again! If you’re here, I assume you’re experiencing a plateau while doing the first phase beginner workout that I shared earlier. It’s normal because when we repeatedly perform the same exercises, targeting the same muscles without changing the weights or adding variety to our workout, there will still be changes, but they will be slower compared to before. That’s what happened to me. No matter how much I lifted, I felt like my muscle growth had stopped or slowed down. Sometimes, I even felt unmotivated to work out because it became monotonous. However, I am determined to change my life for the sake of my health, and I will…

Personal Diet Techniques and My Daily Eating Routine
First of all, I would like to provide a disclaimer that I am not a dietitian or a health professional providing advice on healthy diet meals. I simply want to share my personal diet techniques for my daily meals. These meals have helped me lower my body fat percentage and build more muscle while going to the gym. To give you some context, I have been diagnosed as obese and have a family history of diabetes and hypertension. If I don’t change my lifestyle soon, I may develop these illnesses and require medication. That’s why I decided to change my lifestyle, and the first thing I did was modify my…

DRT
Dona Remedios Trinidad or DRT. This is our second long journey this year. Our destination is the well-known Secret Falls, which is not so secret anymore due to the number of people visiting. We spent a week preparing for this ride, and once again, we will be accompanied by the seasoned rider, Kuya Otep. However, since he just returned to cycling, we will take it easy on our way to Bulacan DRT. We came from different places: Tayuman, Pasay, Fairview, and Edsa, so we decided to meet up at Philcoa Jollibee. We started the journey exactly at 6:00 in the morning, even though the agreed time was 5:00. That’s how…
