Big Lots: Health & Fitness At Big Lots/Douglasville

Big Lots? Health? As someone that lifts weights and tries to implement correct nutrient timing and supplementation for maximum muscle growth while middle-aged, I often find myself searching for the best deals on protein supplements, carbs, and vitamins. 

Actually, Big Lots stores are great for health & fitness. The Douglasville, Georgia Big Lots is my main shopping ground. What???

Indeed, Big Lots/Douglasville generally (not always) has a good selection and quantity of powdered protein mixes, protein bars, carb drinks, powdered and liquid Gatorade, energy shots, and numerous vitamins.  The dates are always good, and the prices are usually about40-50% off retail elsewhere. Great!

What kind of deals am I talking about? Here are a few Big Lots examples: 

-Brand name protein powders are often $14 per 2 pound cannister (20 servings of 25g protein). 
-Balanced 40g protein drinks are $2 each. 
-Gatorade powder comes in various sizes, $1 to $3. 
-Gatorade drinks are 95 cents for 32 ounces. 
-Protein shots of 15g are $1, as are 20g protein shakes. 
-Energy shots and carb drinks are about 40% off retail prices. 
-Protein bars are usually anywhere from 60 cents to $1 each, for 13  to 30grams. Not bad! 
-Most basic vitamin types, name brands, are 50% off retail.
-High quality Ensure drinks (with many calories, carbs, and 13g of protein) are only 70 cents each.) Get the idea?

The point is, Big Lots is worth your time if you are into health & fitness. I know. I shop there several times a week!

Gaining Strength: Lifting Weights For Strength (Revisiting)

Think you know weightlifting? Even most veteran weightlifters and bodybuilders have strength training all wrong. Sure, they do the right basic exercises, but they do the wrong sets and reps. How?

Building strength and size alone involves 2 physical components (in addition to the ever-present mental mindset). What are they? Easy. Gaining strength in the gym (WORKOUT ANYTIME/Douglasville in my case) means strengthening tendons and basic body frame work, and also strengthening muscle.

The fault of most weightlifters wanting to become stronger is that they think strength is all about muscle growth. But, no; it is definitely not.

When extremely heavy weights are used for lower reps (1-5) the majority of the stress and load falls upon the tendons and compensatory aspects of the body. Therefore, these heavy weights and low repetitions do the job! (Use fewer sets, maybe 5-6 per bodypart - once every 8-10 days.)

Then, to isolate strengthening the muscles themselves, lower weights and slightly higher reps should be used so that the tendons and body do not naturally take-over most of the load. Understand? 

Breaking-down the muscle itself happens when weights are lower, and reps are in the 5-8 range. Modest gains are also made with up to 12 reps, as the tendons do little work in this rep range. Perform these reps and sets on different days than the heavy sets. (Do 6-8 sets per muscle group - 2x in 8-10 days.)

Give this method a try, and you will likely experience strength gains within 2-3 weeks, and onward. Happy lifting...

Jimmy Hall Writing Services/Atlanta (404-580-1501) is what I do for a living. (No, I don't just blog and write editorials.) This Georgia and online writing service specifically plans, organizes, writes, and delivers professional writing for businesses and individuals.

This means knowledge of keyword usage, relevance, titles, headings, layout, and other specific online knowledge.

It is also understood that good writers of each type "should" know how to write intelligently and with good sense (knowing their readers). At Jimmy Hall Writing Services/Douglasville, I write print work and web work well. (You found this blog piece, and you are still reading, right?)

Does God Love You, Or Are You Like A Midianite?

God is Love, He says He is in the Holy Bible. However, that does not mean He loves everyone or loves all the time. As kids, many of us were falsely taught that fairy tale notion of His love for everyone in our cute little watered-down Sunday School classes, but that is NOT what the Bible says at all...... What?

God also HATES. In numerous places in Holy Scripture He says He hates  certain groups and sometimes even specific people (14 times in the first 50 Psalms alone, and Roman 9 says He hated Esau before he was even born). Not enough for ya? 

God ordered Moses and the Israelites to SLAUGHTER the Midianites, every man, woman, and child (Numbers 31). Genocide is not love either, is it? And, what about the Great Flood in Genesis, when God drowned and killed all but 8 human beings on Earth? Again, not love. Or, what about the Egyptian Plagues, and killing of their first-born (Exodus 7-11). In fact, Ecclesiastes 3 teaches us that there is a time to HATE and to KILL.

There is no question that God loves His own people, His own children; however, not everyone is a child of God. Romans 8:9 explains that those WITHOUT the Spirit of Christ are "none of His." Are you starting to understand?

God is righteous, holy, and sinless. As human beings, we all should feel honored to even be on this Earth. Apart from the sacrfice of the Lord Jesus Christ for Believers/ELECT, we would all still be unholy and unfit for God's love just like the Midianites and the others that could not fellowship with Him due to their sin.

I am Jimmy Hall/MS/BBA a business plan writer, resume writer,  and web content writer (404-580-1501) and most of all a CHRISTIAN. Make your calling and election sure. Does God love you, or are you like a Midianite?

Worry: Set Aside Worry Time/Zig Ziglar

As a 15 year-old teen, I once went to a Zig Ziglar seminar in Atlanta, Georgia - and my parents and I stayed on the 52cnd floor of the near-new Peachtree Plaza Hotel for the seminar. The year was 1976, and I had never heard Ziglar before. I learned immediately that he did not like WORRY or WORRYING, nor does God.

The meetings were primarilly for sales people (my dad was selling a product for a company on the side). However, Zig Ziglar (may he rest in peace) was a Christian man, and said things for the entire family to benefit from. It was unique.

One thing that Mr. Ziglar said has stuck with me all these years, and I honestly have implemented it many times - BUT, not enough. He mentioned how Jesus said that worrying did not accomplish anything, and could only make things worse. He went the whole nine yards speaking against worry. Then he said something else, kind of shocking.

Zig said that if you were a natural worrier by nature, though you should resist it, if you were bound and detrmined to continue being apprehensive - you should take a specific action. The action was to setup one single hour each week to do nothing but WORRY!

Think about it. If you are worried about not taking time to think all options and problems over during your week, he said to pencil-in 1 hour a week for worry to allow the other 167 to be productive and unhindered!

Now, this statement by him did 2 things. For some it did free-up 167 hours weekly for productive work and peace - and made 1 hour for anxiety. For others, it made them feel absolutely stupid for ever worrying to begin with, and the notion of 1 hour of it on schedule highlighted the folly.

Either way, Zig Ziglar gave good advice, whichever way any of us chooses to take it.
