Answers To My EQ

Training 
This just shows how training should be taken seriously by going to your last rep and reaching failure. 
Here is Jorge and he has a bag filled with 45 lbs of weight on his back. He is doing push-ups. (10-12 reps and 3 sets) This is a killer advanced workout for the tricep and chest ( Pectoralis Major) muscles. 
Supplementation
Here are supplements I use and recommend for people to use. These products give me the progress I want. Pre-workout and post workout supplements. 
Nutrition
Chicken Breast are my main source of protein. Its easy to cook and it gives me what I want. Its in the top foods for body builders. I usually prepare the chicken one day before Im going to consume it. I try to eat 6-7 times a day with 30 grams of protein in each meal. This will give me the results I want. 

Research and Working EQ

  1. What is your working EQ?
What factors are most important to consider when becoming a fit body builder ?
     2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format. 
Taking training, nutrition, and supplementation seriously will get you on that path of becoming a fit body builder. 
    
    3.   What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?
 In my opinion, the best source for me was "Bodybuilding Revealed" by Will Brink which was a book. This book had mainly three main topics for the book. Training, which consisted of using good form and what errors not to make when training. Nutrition, which shows me what is good to eat and what are the best body building foods. And lastly Supplementation, which dealt with what supplements are good to use and how they work.  

    4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?
I am currently mentoring with my Cousin who is a personal trainer and body builder. He goes to the gym everyday which just shows how dedicated he is. Reason he relates to my working EQ is because he shows my the key values in becoming a fit body builder. Training hard is something that is controlled mentally. Nutrition wise he shows me what he prepares for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He eats 6 times a day. Supplement wise he shows me what he uses and usually tells me which ones are good or bad. My mentor shows me everything I need to know in order to become a body builder.

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
I plan to keep doing my mentorship hours with my mentor. Im going to be working out with my mentor a lot more and I will learn a lot more. Hopefully I can get a new mentor soon so I can see how differently personal trainers workout as well.

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
I will not only show it physically but I will also show by having pictures and videos with my mentor. Maybe sometimes at the gym and sometimes when were eating after the gym. A visual representation is always good  evidence wise.  

3.  Explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
 Its not only just about going to the gym and working out but its about learning how to become a fit body builder. I will learn as much as I can so that later I will become an expert in body building. Then I will probably be able to become a personal trainer after I feel like I have met my goal.
