Meanwhile, my son started showing interest too.
He's 17 and was training with dumbbells at home,
And wanted to upp his exercises.
So he started going to the same gym.
When my muscles showed no change, his muscles grew instantly.
Unfair!

We started buying protein powder for drinks.
Also Creatine.
We made sure we had more proteins in our daily meals.
Again, this helped him, but not me 😄
He's super muscular,
A typical gym bro, but around my age.
One day, when I arrived at the gym he asked me:
»What is your plan for today?«
»The whole body«.
No, no no! He answered…
What you're doing is relaxing, you never go to the limit.
Men are built for fighting, for pain, for war!
You need to go to the limit:
4 sets.
Repetitions until you cannot do one single more!«
Initially I brushed it off,
But then I thought: What's to loose?
I changed to 4 exercises each session, 4 sets each.
I started having sore muscles the next day.
»That's correct« said Giorgio »only when the muscles are hurt they start to grow«
To tell me anytime he saw me doing an exercise wrong.
This was hard on my ego - but I wanted my time investments to show off.
I also felt that I would only keep going if I saw some progress.
At the beginning I could only do 2 pull ups.
6 months later I was at 10 pull ups.
The smile I had on my face when I achieved the 10 pull ups! 🤗
