You can either choose to exercise or not to exercise. If you choose to exercise, you need to progress to the point where you’re training twice a day. If you reach that point then stop training for a while, your stamina goes down and you have to start all over from a lower level.

Once you reach a high point in your training, you must maintain it and practice periodization. This is the best way to build more muscle and keep it.

I’ve been maintaining my walking schedule. I walk for 40 minutes before breakfast, every day except Sunday. I train arms one day, and shoulders the next, then take day three off. I’ve seen a lot of progress with my biceps and shoulders.

I’ve been cutting up apples and grapes and eating them for a snack. This is better than having sweets in my opinion, I think this is a breakthrough. Getting in shape is 90% diet. The reason I started eating grapes is because I read a recent study in mice proving that grapes helped increase muscle mass.

Here’s a metaphor: if you had to grab onto something painful to grasp, and after 20 seconds, for every second you held on, the amount of cash you get doubles, starting with one dollar. If you held on for a minute, you’d have at least one million dollars.

The same can be said for getting your diet dialed in. If you figured out how to eat in a way that maximized losing body fat, you should hold onto that technique for as long as you could. Eating fruit instead of candy or other junk foods is the solution I’ve been looking for!
