The Golden Era bodybuilders truly knew the way to live life best.
Excluding the drug use, these guys had a habit of doing the following on training days:
Go to the gym, lift weights hard, but have fun doing it.
Then, immediately pop tops and go chill at the beach.
After that, they'd gather together for a big meal.
If this ain't living life in tranquility, I don't know what is.
When I have time, I do something similar.
I'll lift hard for 30-40 minutes.
Prepare my post workout meal (usually oatmeal, honey, peanut butter, fruit, and whey mixed together. Sometimes tuna sandwich with a side of fruit).
I'll take that meal outside and eat.
Then I'll stay outside and – this part is crazy – JUST RELAX.
It's the life.
During the winter months, I pop in the sauna for 20 minutes post workout.
For the record, even in the warmer weather I'm trying to sauna at least 3 days per week, but generally at night for 20 minutes, or first thing in the morning.
Have fun, lift hard, embrace the pump, and try living a little like a golden era bro.
