In weightlifting in order to grow your muscles you have to lift weights in order to break your muscle fibers so that your body can create and build more muscle fibers over the now torn muscle fibers. This creates a slow but study process of tearing your muscle fibers to build new ones in order to get bigger muscles. Now the amount of muscle you grow depends mainly on two factors (not including sleep in this example). How hard you train, and how you eat. If you workout and after you workout eat junk and don't eat enough protein your body won't be able to recover and build more muscle to repair your body. Eating right is vital to the process of building muscle and giving your body the right fuel it needs in order to workout. But not only how you eat, but also how you train is extremely vital to muscle growth. One of the best ways to grow muscle is training to absolute failure. Pushing your muscles to the limit and lifting until you can't get that weight up anymore. Not until you feel like you can't lift it anymore, till you really can't. Even when it's hard pushing through and getting that last little bit in. Through achieving failure your muscles would grow immensely. One of the best bodybuilders tom platz emulated this. He lived by it, constantly training to failure pushing himself past his limit. But through that he was able to build his physique and is known for his amazing leg muscles.
“Congratulations, you've achieved failure.
~ You have to achieve failure. You have to take it that far. Nobody wants to go that far, it's too scary. I got news for you, that's where winning is.”
-Tom Platz
“Okay so Elder Ellis is a weirdo we get it, but what the heck does this have to do with your mission ya bum?” Is what I'm sure some of you are wondering. This past week I listened to an amazing BYU devotional.
Successfully Failing: pursuing our quest for perfection by Kevin J Worthen
Listen to it if you have time. But basically this talk explains that because we have the atonement that all failures are changeable. Those mistakes can be good as long as we learn from them and grow. But the failure that is not permitted is giving up. When we give up we let failure beat us. We make that failure permanent. However when we push ourselves to grow, to become better, to be out of our comfort zone and then fail. And after failure learn and grow. That's where we can find success. A lot of people don't want to do that. Failure, rejection, losing. It's scary, IT SUCKS. Believe me especially after this week I KNOW. If you want to know what rejection is like come knocking with me in Japan, it's a whole lot of failure. Or you could just watch me in high-school tall to that 5’1” Asian girl and see failure and rejection FOR REAL. But anyways. Failure is where we grow. We shouldn't be afraid of failure, mistakes, or rejection. But we definitely should not feel comfortable in it either. This week I ask you all to push yourself! Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Through the atonement we can grow stronger, learn and become better. Fail this week! Because once you fail there's only one way to go. And that's up!
Highlights:
-Oji-chan
-Going out with the members
-Bap Date?
-ZONE CONFERENCE
Oji-chan:
While knocking we found this sick Oji-chan (grandpa) and we talked with him a little on the doorstep. We wrapped Book of Mormon's that day and we're trying to give them to people with no success. But we knocked on his apartment and talked to him about joy and happiness. Then we offered him the Book of Mormon and talked about how we find happiness through reading the book. He lit up when we asked if he wanted to have it for free. He was in disbelief that it didn't cost money! He was so cool and honestly was literally the only person who heard us out while we were knocking on our own so it was awesome!
Going out with members:
Pretty much all Sunday we were out with members doing visits handing out little Christmas gifts. It was actually awesome and we were so blessed. It was probably the most people that opened their door for us and we got to talk to all but one person we visited! It was overall just awesome to be out with members and spread some Christmas cheer.
Bap Date?:
We are progressing with this one friend Noy Noy. He's Filipino and awesome! We talked to him about Baptism, Eternal Families, and the Priesthood and asked him if he wanted to be baptized. He said he will think and pray about it so we are duper excited! Going to visit him now with a Tagalog Book of Mormon!
ZONE CONFERENCE:
This week is ZC so I'm gonna be able to see a lot of awesome missionaries and I'm sooo hyped! Stoked to see some familiar faces soon :)
Okay Das all
