However, a few years back I decided to take up weight training for beginners. I all of the sudden decided I wanted to be bigger. I mean come on, I ' m 6 ' 1 ' ' and I was weighing in at 160 pounds. That ' s fairly slim I would say. Nevertheless I decided to start my new routine. So in addition to my martial arts, I started pumping iron. I started with the basics, which for us guys tends to be our upper - bodies.



 I wanted to pump up my chest and arms. As apposed to joining a gym, I took the purchasing route. I figured if I ' m going to lift, I should just go ahead and buy the equipment. This is cheaper in the long run if you ask me. So with a quality weight bench, a couple of dumbbells and a weight set, I was ready to get started.


My weight training for beginners slowly became more advanced. Then I began taking in more protein. I accomplished this through the contemporary whey protein mixes that are sold everywhere now days.
