Exercise note from appt with Jemal

Protein intake
1.2g/kg maintain (78g)
2g/kg grow (130g)

Proper diet is 70% of the battle.

Increase calorie intake as well, 2500 to 3000.
Recommend peanut butter scoop to shakes, or other nuts or good fats like avocado, pbj as a snack. That will add calories. Not a fan of weight gainers bc not as nutritious.

Deadlifts... Single best growth exercise as it incorporates every major muscle group.
Do 5 sets with 10 reps.

You can build a great workout around deadlifts.

Another good one is pull ups.
As for the core, if done properly needs rest like other groups.
Rest important between sets. Major group workout up to 2 mins. Minor up to 1 minute. You can get super sets in between rests.

Super sets are great. Recommend.

Steam room / sauna are both great for recovery.

God's awesome, wonderful work!

Here is an excerpt from an email that a co-worker has sent to me:   “ What church do you and your wife go to? I have been thinking alot lately about going to church. I have never really attended church and don't know much about the bible. But I have a desire to know. I feel strange just waltzing into a church and being lost.”   How awesome is the work of the Lord! And that we can take part in it! Woah! Alleluja!

To work on time

I had the intention of leaving to work on time this morning, but I left late because the freezing rain last night froze my door shut, and windows required heavy scraping. I was able to get in the car after some prying, and scraped a "hole" big enough to see ahead of me through the windshield (not best practice). After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!
