I got my gym schedule back up to normal again. I went to the gym three times this week and I started doing dips and pull-ups. I also decided to just tweak some of the exercises I have been doing which seems to be more effective. I had to fix my form in some of my exercises and now I feel as if I'm making some decent progress! I started using an assisted dip machine because I couldn't fully do a proper dip beforehand but I feel like I'm becoming stronger now and I am very close to doing a proper dip. Below is what a dip looks like. The dip can be used for building chest muscles which is my main reason for doing them however they are also very good for other muscles as well. The hard part is keeping proper form and having your chest out and lower body back. This is what helps activate the chest. Since I'm relatively light the lifting myself up part isn't very hard but for some reason I find that this specific form is very hard to do. I also plan to do this workout almost every time to workout because since I got to the gym about every other day I'm able to have enough recovery time between days to do this exercise again. My Progress!From what the scale says it seems that my weight is increasing as well as my muscle mass. Although I wouldn't trust these measurement too much, I still think that this has been a good week for reaching my goal. I felt as if my exercises were more effective and overall felt better about my body. Hopefully this can keep up until the end of the project!
