Eyebrow Tutorial for men at home

Hey guys, I’m back with another tutorial! Now that your hair looks great, we want to make sure your eyebrows do as well. For that I got a little help from my friend Chris again (He is still a great barber😉). He plucks my eyebrows with a thread and tweezers.

From him I learned the right way to pluck them. You have to be careful, so it doesn’t look too feminine. If you like that look, pluck away! But for me it wouldn’t fit.

Step 1: Careful cleaning on top

I have very thick eyebrows, so we started by carefully cleaning out the single hairs on top with a thread. It is much cleaner with a thread than with tweezers.

Step 2: The middle part

Also we did clean the middle part, I am not a fan of a monobrow. 😀

Step 3: Shaping it

To get your eyebrows into a good shape, you need to find their highest point on top first. For that you take a pen or a stick, put it on the tip of your nose and lay it in a straight line over your pupil to the approximate high point of your eyebrows, to really get the detailed point. On that part you DON’T want to take away any hair, because that ruins the face and the eyebrows. Chris did a great job on that. Also remember to do it on each side seperately. 😀

Step 4: Form the eyebrow bottom

The top was done, so we continued with the bottom. Now the tweezers came into play. Again we did it very carefully. You remember the highest point of the eyebrows and how you should’nt take anything away of it on top? Well, on the bottom of that high point you can take away a little bit more, so you get the perfect shape.

And with that you’re done! I have learned a lot on eyebrow shaping, have you? 😊 For more tutorials like that, challenging workouts and exciting vlogs check out my YouTube Channel @fabianxarnold.

Haircut for men EVERYONE can wear!

Hey guys, welcome back! I cut my hair … AGAIN! This time I did a completely different cut. I shaved off the sides and made the hair on top a bit shorter, but still rather long. That way I can style it in many different ways: to each side, flat or with volume.
Of course I didn’t cut is myself, my friend Chris was helping me out. Excellent barber!

Before we were ready to get going, we had to wash the hair. But I guess you already know that from your own barber 😉.

Step 1 – rough form sides

To get the rough form in, we started with the sides. We shaved them to a particular length, so we could still adjust them later on. Don’t get them too short!

Step 2 – fading up

When we got the right length on each side, we continued by cleaning the outside and started fading up. That’s the reason I told you not to get it too short from the beginning. The way we did it, we could still adjust the fade.
We started with 12 mm and went up to 20, which isn’t that short for sides, but in comparison to my longer hair on top looks really cool. Find out, what length fits you!

Step 3 – top

Cut the top. The top hair, of course! 😉 We really cut a chunk, because my hair was already so long, it had to be done. But you can play with the length. Again, find out what works for you.

Step 4 – thin out

Because I have very thick hair, we thinned out the top. Doing that allows me to actually style my hair in any direktion I want to. And it will grow back anyway. 😀

Step 5 – clean the back

To finish up, we cleaned out the back, so that it doesn’t look as „round“ anymore.

Step 6 – Styling

Styling: Here is where the fun begins! We started by using sea salt spray, because my hair still was very thick and heavy and falling in any direction. With blow drying that spray in, we gave it more texture, so it was much easier to style afterwards.
Then we continued with dry shampoo, which gave my hair even more texture, more grip and more volume.
Now it gets interesting. After we applied the hairwax, we used hairspray to make it hold. But we didn’t do it the ordinary way: Chris sprayed it on his fingers, going through my hair afterwards.

And thats it! A look that everyone can wear and that’s very versatile. I hope you enjoyed this post and I could give you some useful advice.

Take care and see you soon, peace!

How to plan workout for a week? – inkl. workout-plan – fabianxarnold

Hey guys, I hope you are all doing well! As you know, I have shared a few of my workouts on YouTube (and there will be even more in die future 😉). But today I wanted to talk to you about how to structure those workouts properly. You cannot simply do one session everyday and expect to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger afterwards. 😀 Also, because of the pandemic, it is extra hard to find a fitting workout routine. That’s why I will try and show you how I structure my Workout Plan.

I will go through six simple questions and try to find ways to answer them. At the end of those you hopefully can structure your own fitness routine! While doing that, I will use my own workouts as an example.

Question 1: How many times per week should I work out?

This is the most important question in the beginning. To answer it, you have to be clear about your goals: Do you want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger? Do you just want to be active and more healthy? Or do you simply want to have something to balance out your everyday life? Those goals determine the number of workouts.
I recommend something between three and six times per week. With less than three workouts a week, it is hard to get a routine going, doing seven workouts a week will probably overwork you.
In the example I use, we will do five workouts, so you have two days of rest.

Question 2: How long should I work out each time?

My recommendation here is between 45 minutes and two hours. But be sure to not only do one kind of workout, but rather combine them (more on that later). I recommend to do 45 minutes to an hour on five days a week, instead of doing two hours only three times a week. As I’ve said before, your mind gets into a routine. That is what we want to achieve.
So, for our example we well use an one hour workout five times a week.

Question 3: What different types of workouts are there?

Of course not every training session should be the same. Different type of workouts strain different kind of muscle groups. I like to divide the different types into three boxes. You can find the different sessions on my YouTube Channel:

Box 1 – Warm Up
Rope Skipping
10 min Full Body
10 min Stretching

Box 2 – Secondary workouts
10min Sixpack
Yoga
Meditation

Box 3 – Main Workouts
Push
Pull
Legs
Cardio

In the next steps we will get into them and put them together!

Question 4: Warm Up – What? How? When?

The Warm Up is very important in every workout. It gets your heart going and reduces the risk of an injury. Use five to ten minutes on that. You should do it before EVERY workout! Also you can switch it up here. A Warm Up can be a 10 minute fat burn (look on my YT Channel for that 😉) as well as rope skipping – it just has to be something to put your heart rate up and get you sweating.

Question 5: When should I train Abs?

Yeah, we all want to have a sixpack, don’t we? But we cannot train for it every day. We have to give those muscles some rest after a big session, so they can recover. Luckily, you can train abs more often than other muscle groups. I have found that, once you get really into it, they recover a lot better than the big muscle groups. So I recommend abs training every two workout days. I always do them before my Main Workouts. It helps me stay motivated! But be sure that the first few days your abs will burn. A lot.

Question 6: How do I integrate the Main Workouts?

We are almost done! Now we have five days to fill up the plan with our main exercises. For me, there are four different exercises to differentiate:

  1. Push Workout (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps)
  2. Pull Workout (Back, Neck, Biceps, Back Shoulder, Lower Back)
  3. Leg Workout (thighs and calves)
  4. Cardio (Running, Swimming, Bicycle etc.)

So, we have those four main groups. We can change them up however we please. On one day for example we can train push and pull together, or we can train push and legs together, or push and cardio … you get the idea. 😀
The way I do it is splitting them. Because I workout six times a week, I do one exercise each day. Monday push, Tuesday pull, Thursday legs and so on. But for someone who is just starting, it may be right to combine different workouts.

So, after adding your main exercises, the plan looks something like this:

As you can probably see, we now do the push training two times a week. Because there are five days, but only four main exercises, it allows us to have a base (Warm Up and Abs) and switch the main exercises one day up. That way no training week is the same!

So, that’s the workout plan! I hope it wasn’t too confusing and I was able to help some of you. 😊 If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below! Also check out my Youtube Channel for all of my workouts, and there are even more on the way!

Take care, guys. Until the next time!
