Avoid “The Liz Lemon Workout” At The Gym
The best comedic parody comes by taking a situation that everyone can relate to and then taking it to an extreme. Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) is a major character on the NBC hit comedy 30 rock. Her character is a comedic farce of actual working single women. One of the many issues she faces is managing her weight. During an episode she is asked about her workout routine. In the conversation she mentions that she owns a treadmill. Her co-worker doesn’t believe her. In response Liz comments that she uses the treadmill every day, and it cuts to a flashback of Liz Lemon on her treadmill spooning an ice cream sundae into her mouth while on the slowest setting.
While “The Liz Lemon Workout” is a farce, it is based on an element everyone can relate too. How many times have we taken off workouts? We might not be taking it to the extreme of Liz Lemon spooning ice cream into our mouth while slowly walking, but we do cut off minutes or slow down our workouts. It is a very simple thing not to be working out when at the gym.
In many ways it is more damaging to weight loss goals to not push yourself at the gym, than to being unfaithful to a nutritional diet. It takes dedication to motivate yourself to go to the gym day after day. If a person isn’t seeing results at the gym it is hard to justify the time spent at the gym. On those days when it is difficult to make it to the gym, visible results are the best way to add motivation to push through the distractions and make it through another workout.

What are some good protein sources for muscle building?
I am a small 145 lb guy and I wanting to get bigger, around 185. I get that building muscle takes time so regardless of how bad I want it, I have to wait. I have been lifting for about a month and I think I have gained around 5 lbs of muscle. My workouts are very short but I lift extremely hard with very low reps (like 1 or 2 times). I have been taking some whey protein shakes that I got from Wal-mart. I take in about 120 grams of protein from that alone. And I try to eat alot to but it just isnt working out for me as well as I planned. I want to be able to have around 400 or 500 grams of protein a day. So does anyone recommend any high protein shakes or supplements or something to help me hit this 500 gram mark everyday? Or maybe even something else I havent thought of?
Does anyone know of any upper body workout plans that will build muscle to make me a better fighter?
I need a workout plan that i can do that requires no equipment.
I need to build muscle for boxing.
