Mentorship

Literal : 

Robert Maldonado - Spartan Fitness/ 24 Hour Fitness

Interpretive:  

The most important thing I gained from this experience is really knowing how to properly train others. Having the right equipment and knowing how to use this equipment is key to gaining muscle mass. I was taught many new workouts that trained all the muscle groups. I feel like i learned more of the training factor from my mentor rather than nutrition or supplements. 

Applied: 

Training almost every day throughout the week did help with learning lots of new things to help me answer my EQ.  My mentor has helped with training in the gym to cooking food at his house learning the types of food he eats. There was a time where I kept training hard and gave it my all in the gym and kept my nutrition on point as well but still noticed no gains for about 2 weeks. I told my mentor and thats when we started to change our routines in the gym every time ever since this problem. Changing up the routine did help a lot and it made it more different every time I went to the gym. Its important to get all the energy you need in the gym and changing the routine will sometimes make it fun going to the gym instead of having the same workouts every time.  Learning many things like this with my mentor only made us stronger in the gym and our knowledge with muscle mass increase.                                                                  

Blog 11 : Mentorship 10 Hours

Where are you doing your mentorship?

I am currently mentoring at Spartan Fitness. I am trying to contact other experts in bodybuilding so I can get different views on working out. Like certified personal trainers from 24 hour fitness. But it would be hard to talk to them if your not paying for their training background.

Who is your contact?
Eric Bugarin

How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?   

Currently I have 76 hours of mentorship but I have 46 hours logged in. I need to type it all up but I do have everything on paper.

Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
Im guessing this is for the mentorship during break. So it was my second time going to the gym but this time I was with my mentor/ cousin. It was basically a day of him teaching me the basics and everything you need to know at the gym. Most importantly the workout.

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.
