Week 8- Solomon Holzhauer- My workout routine

 I didn't know what to talk or write about so I decided to share with y'all my workout routine. I lift six out of seven days a week. I do a rotation of lifting, and hit every group twice. I split it up into three groups, group one is chest, shoulders and triceps, group two is biceps and back, and group three is legs. I do chest, shoulders, and triceps on Monday's and Thursday's. Bicep and back days are on Tuesday's and Friday's. Lastly, leg day is on Wednesday's and Saturday's. I take Sunday off and make it a rest day because it is good to have some rest, and it is actually needed for muscle growth. Also, as you can see the muscles I work on a certain day are let to rest for two days so they can repair and grow bigger, since when you lift your body repairs or replaces damaged muscle fibers through a cellular process where it fuses muscle fibers together to form new muscle protein strands or myofibrils. These repaired myofibrils increase in thickness and number to create muscle hypertrophy, also known as muscle growth. A little behind the scenes science for you there. I usually work each muscle with around 3 workouts each for 4 sets of 12, or 4 sets till failure. I do not like to take pre workout unless I really need the energy. Some workouts for chest day are dumbbell bench press, dumbbell incline bench press, barbell bench press, incline barbell bench press, push ups, dumbbell flys on a flat bench, cable flys, and more.

Do you lift/workout? How many days a week do you lift/workout and what do you do?

    That is a great routine that you have! I workout 5-6 days a week. I go to Orange Theory fitness where I do 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of lifting daily.

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

Image
   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
