The attitudes, discipline, unity and spirit of GTMO took me
by surprise. I asked a guy the other day how he copes with
being away from his family and friends and he said,” I am
here for my family and friends as well as yours to
ensure they stay safe.” Good response, it made me stop and
think for a quick minute about how things are in the world
and how lucky we are.
There are a lot of people here on the base and it’s like a
small town USA, Mayberry if you would. There’s a grocery
store here that I can get just about anything I wanted .
There are two mini marts, a Subway, Taco Bell, KFC and don’t
forget about the world famous MCy D’s.
Everything here is a five minute drive from where you want
to go and that’s in spite of the fact that the speed limit
is only 25 mph here. There are three gyms here on base and
fitness is a HUGE part of the community here.
There are beautiful places to snorkel and scuba dive, you
can get your captain’s license and rent a boat for the day.
I’ve eaten some of the biggest fish and crab I’ve ever seen.
Mango, banana, and coconut trees
are all around here for you to just grab when you want.
Oh, and don’t let me forget the huge iguanas that run around
here like they own the place. Iguanas here are like
squirrels back home. Well that’s it in a nutshell if I say
anything else I may end up in the brig…Can’t have that!
Now back to business as
usual. Dream Bodies is still open for those of you who need
to work on improving your current state of fitness and I
will ALWAYS be available for you through e mail.&
nbsp. A lady by the name of Susan is taking clients at Dream
Bodies and will be happy to help you reach fitness goals. I
will still be writing for The Truth and promoting my annual
bodybuilding contest The Toledo Glass Scepter in the
spring.
I got an e mail from a
gentleman named Larry who wanted to know how to increase his
arm size. Well, Larry I will start by telling you that your
triceps make up about two-thirds of your arm mass. I suggest
starting with all the mass building exercises such as:
straight bar curls, hammer curls and alternating curls for
your biceps. Take a shoulder width grip for your straight
bar curls and make sure to squeeze the bicep at the top.
Don’t worry about the weight as much as the form.
If you can’t get eight-12
good reps out of the weight you’re using then drop the
weight. Do four work set of all the bicep exercises I just
named for a total of 12 combined sets.
Now for your triceps. I
suggest the same amount of work sets but with the following
exercises. Triceps push downs, kickbacks and some type of
overhead extension. These exercises along with the
bicep exercises should add
some size to your arms. Remember that it will not happen
overnight and to be patient and consistent. I wish you all
the best in happiness and health.
