Consistency is the key to build a great body

In the month of March, I was able to manage 6 workouts. Not good enough. Despite this I managed a 0.5% reduction in my Body Fat Percentage. All this despite being just decent, not great on my diet, no protein shakes and Zero cardio.

Imagine If I had done all my 12 workouts for the month, been better with my diet, got my protein on time, done some more cardio, I could have achieved much more.

Just goes to show that Consistency matters.

Check out this post from the Muscle Hack – Mark McManus on the The Most Important Body Building Tip you will ever hear.

Its fabulously simple!

How to build muscle and lose fat with Strength Training


I have been wanting to experiment with my workout regimen for sometime now. This is something I came across recently and its called Stronglifts 5x5. This is basically a strength training program. A routine which can be easily done at home. Simple in its concept and I hope its powerful in its impact.

5 exercises, 5 sets, 5 reps. 5 being my favorite number, I was immediately drawn to this routine. You can check out the details of the entire routine and download a great ebook at Stronglifts.com

You can also follow my progress on this program at My Six Pack Journey

This is my first week and I shall keep posting details of my workouts on a weekly basis.
