Week 2-811/2/2020 As you can see I haven't been posting week by week on this because I thought that we were allowed to post all the weeks at the end but instead I am going to give you guys one big update. In week 1 I gave you guys my plan to eat lots of proteins and fruits and vegetables. I also told you guys that I would be working out a lot. So far in this journey I have stuck to my plan and I have been eating great and working out 5 times a week. The foods that I have been eating are chicken, bananas, carrots, broccoli, apples, peanut butter, rice, steak and fish. These foods have been boosting my energy so much which I did not expect at all. Not only have they been boosting my energy every day but they have been increasing my muscle mass and actually helped me lose some fat. I have stuck to my workout plan and I have been working out at a local gym, gym 365. This gym has all the equipment I need to gain muscle. I have been squatting two times a week. Squatting not only builds your legs, they strengthen your core greatly. I have been doing lots of compound lifts such as dead lifts, bench presses, and squats. These compound lift exercises build muscle all over in your body although the bench press targets your chest, dead lifts target back and legs, and squats target your legs. You may be wondering why I am talking about all these muscle building techniques when I am just trying to hit a golf ball farther. I have researched all the possible ways to hit it farther and muscle building seems to be the most efficient and most beneficial so that is why. So far in this journey, I have gained 4 pounds of solid muscle. I have gained 5 yards with my driver. These numbers might sound low but they make a big difference. 5 yards in golf is awesome to gain because not only can I hit my driver farther but I can also hit my shorter clubs like my irons way longer. Being able to hit it farther helps so much because you don't have to swing as hard to get the ball to the hole. The reason not having to swing hard is beneficial is because swinging hard causes you to hit it crooked so i can hit it just as far swinging softly while hitting it straight as I could hit it swinging hard and hitting it crooked. This distance gain has been beneficial already. I am not only hitting it way farther but I am also playing way better overall. I played in a tournament recently and I came in 40th out of 120 and that is way better then I have ever done in a golf tournament. It is clear that my hard work so far has helped me a lot in staying in shape, staying healthy, playing good golf and most importantly hitting the ball farther. The key is to not slow down though so I am not done working hard. As a matter of fact I am just getting started.
