I decided to read this book because I’ve been learning about the pH balance for several months now from different sources. Health has been such a major focus in my life for the past several months, so I was interested in learning more about it.
What is pH balance?
Just like how your body must maintain a certain body temperature (98.6) to stay healthy, it must also maintain a certain level of pH, which is almost equally important to your body’s temperature.
This is the third book I’ve read so far, on my 8 Week Book Reading Challenge. It’s a weight lifting program called “Gaining Mass” by Anthony Ellis, a New York City based fitness consultant who specializes in designing fitness and diet program for the “not-so genetically gifted” majority.
The reason I decided to re-read this book (it’s probably my third time reading it by now), is because I’ve set my #1 life priority to focus on my health and bulking up. I value my health and my body so much, that this year I sat down and set goals for myself to get this area of my life handled. One of my goals has been to bulk up and gain a lot of muscle mass, then to cut down and be ripped.
This has been a goal of mine for about 3 years now and I’ve made a tremendous amount of progress. To give you some history, I used to weigh 135 lbs and was a scrawny weakling. Since I got my hands on the Anthony Ellis program 3 years ago, I’ve managed to gain 30 lbs or so and now weigh around 165 lbs (at 5′10″). I’m happy to say I’m not a scrawny weakling anymore, and now feel I have an “average” build.
