about Modern Musclehead Ep11: Intra-set Stretching and Next Level Physique Training
While some people struggle to make it to the gym consistently, I find myself in a place where it’s challenging to stay away from the gym for any length of time aside from our typical one or two rest days each week. My workout partner feels the same way. I can’t keep him out of the gym. Often times he’ll head back later in the day to do some light accessary work while training with his teenage son.
I love the gym. It’s my serenity. I love the atmosphere. I love the challenge. I love the process. I love the journey. I absolutely love physique training and the lifestyle that goes with it. In the words of Jerry McGuire, it “Completes Me” 🙂
But the question is, are we doing more harm than good? Do we really need to schedule a recovery week even though we feel incredible? We don’t feel run down in the slightest. We don’t have nagging injuries, aches or pains. We’re making good progress and we’re having a blast!
Some muscle building coaches would have us believe that about Why Is It So Tough To Take A Week Off From The Gym and Is It Necessary To Build Aesthetic Muscle?
We recently invested in a Blendtec blender and instantly became hooked on green smoothies. It’s a convenient and delicious way for me to increase my consumption of veggies and fruits. These smoothies are jam packed with micronutrients, which are just as important for us bros and physique athletes to consume as our macronutrients.
I have a green smoothie first thing in the morning to jumpstart my day. I definitely notice a boost in energy and dare I say, clarity at the expense of sounding a bit hippie 😉
Often times I’ll have a green smoothie post workout as well. In the past, my main concern was simply blending up some protein and fast digesting carbs in my post-workout shake. I never dreamed of adding spinach or kale to a post-workout shake. Now my body is being rewarded with quality macronutrients and micronutrients to fuel muscle repair and growth after sculpting my body during an intense physique training session.
Here are some of the green smoothie recipes I’ve been consuming;
Kale
Spinach
Lemon
Pineapple
Mango
Strawberry
Kiwi
Vanilla Protein Powder

This aesthetic muscle motivation video features my workout partner Rick who is 52 years old and in the best shape of his life with ripped abs and a shredded physique. His focused dedication toward the physique artist lifestyle inspires the hell out of me.
It’s been incredibly rewarding to have shared in Rick’s journey and witness the continuous progress he’s achieved during the past 3 1/2 years we’ve been training together.
He’s followed every workout from the Aesthetic Muscle Plan along with me. His body has responded to this style of training better than anything else he’s ever done during his 30+ years of working out.
It’s all got to do with about Over 50 Aesthetic Muscle Motivation
