Blog 4: Interview Preparation

1. I plan to Interview a close friend who is a body builder himself and is becoming a personal trainer as well. Reason why I chose him was because he has lots of knowledge on like the science part of body building and how everything works. I know for-sure he will have lots of info. on this topic.

Blog 3: Topic Choice and Semester 1 ESLR Goals

1.  List your topic here: Body Building
2.  What do you plan to do this year to show growth in each of the ESLRs?  Be specific and use an example.  Examples can come from senior project, model assembly, core, and/or participation in senior class ASB or other organizations on campus (clubs etc.).

• I Poly Citizen: I will do my best to be responsible and helpful to others when needed. An example, if a junior or sophomore asks for advice I will do my best to help. I will also respect my peers by understanding them and listening to them if something is wrong.

• Effective Learner: when doing my senior project I will be responsible enough to start and finish this with the best research possible. I will do my part and learn everything possible about my project topic. So that when I present I will become an expert in bodybuilding.

• Effective User of Technology: I will most definitely use the internet to my advantage but also learn from it. Also use the technology for good reasons and not just to waste my time. Especially for senior project I will have to research a lot.

• Effective Communicator: Lastly I will do my best in being available for others in times of need. Communicated with others shouldn't be a problem and I will probably need advice from others when doing senior project. Then that advice that I get will be used for helping others as well when needed.

3. What I Want To Know

• What are great ways to gaining muscle on forearms ?

Interpretive :

4. The most important thing I gained from working out with my cousin (Personal Trainer) is that getting good rest after a workout and eating the right foods after a workout increases your chances of gaining muscle faster because he told me that muscles grow when your resting not during your workout. So eating the rite foods such as chicken breast and lots of other foods with protein are what make muscles heal and grow.
     5. Most of my family are into bodybuilding, which means they are all strong and buff. I wanted to make a change in my lifestyle after seeing all of them doing something with theirs. So I started by getting a free 7 day pass at 24 hour fitness and I loved it. So now I have a 2 year pass and go everyday to the gym. Since Im still learning about the different muscles that are being used when working out and the different dieting plans I felt like this can be a great project for me. I would be able to research about the muscles and how to really grow the rite way with research. Its a win-win for me I get my workouts in and Im also doing my project on something I do everyday.
