Back to Basics. Okay, now before I get everybody confused, I would like to dumb-down some of the most common terminologies gym rats use. It’s not to say that it’s hard to understand nor that they have a very low comprehension. Rather, provide information to people specially the ones new to bodybuilding.
Some others think that bodybuilding is a sport that’s pure brute and no brains involve. Some think that you just lift weights and then get big. They want results, and they want it fast. And all too often, these people are the ones that quit after a couple of weeks. One reason, they do not know what they are doing.

What is that? Often times inside the gym, people wonder and ask what’s the pen and pad for. My initial response was that I have a new training program. And I didn’t want to miss a single exercise, set, nor rep. That was my favorite excuse.
I used to be ashamed of bringing a pen and pad inside the gym. I caught myself alot of times secretly jotting down the rep and weight after every set I do. I wasn’t comfortable with the feeling at all. Despite it, I still persisited to keep a journal.
Why do you do that? Personally, I have more than a couple of reasons why I bring a journal with me.

Bad weather. It’s been raining really hard and natural disasters have been rocking the third world recently. Heavy down pour of rain is one of my main concerns. Thanks to typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) the streets got flooded. Roaches and rats creeping and crawling out of the sewers. Things that you thought you only could see in toilets, float and get carried by the water current. And if that isn’t enough, you can catch a virus.
That’s what had happened to me. Until now, I still am coughing and snotty. It’s been going on for almost two weeks now. I took some medication and some vitamins to recover quickly. I later found out that I had an infection. So yes, another drug for Marco.
