I guess you didn’t notice that I weighed in under 189#
Down from 195.
WHILE upping the eating of treats and bagels AND high calorie peanuts roasted in the shell (I keep a 3# bag on hand).
See, I used to eat celery in the morning and I got too small.
Now I’m bigger muscle swole wise but still loosing weight.
I haven’t been under 190 in a year or so, was probably eating celery in the morning. I was overall smaller then, lifts were weaker too.
Zecarlo likes to work real hard to show I’m wrong. I might be a retard but I have a certain look I’m going for.
Mini Poppa Pump is probably retarded, but WHOOOO CARES!!! We’re freaks. J Genova!
Celery in the morning made me leaner, but it was harder to build mass.
Celery before bed is working much better.
I stopped eating celery period when I was doing it in the morning.
I continue eating celery at night, I’ve done it about every night for a good month at least. I lost weight and am bigger muscle and strength wise.
Who cares if my waist stays the relatively the same size or only slow loss IF my shoulders grow wider. That’s the goal brah! The V shape appearance. And no gut. I’ll take no gut and V shape over abs and flat look any day.
You are trying to claim your results are based entirely on the timing of an almost insignificant vegetable, and in the same breath talking about peanut butter, bagels and cookies.
Not a single person who has the slightest understanding of lifting and nutrition would come to the conclusion that celery is the unique and defining factor in your results, yet that appears to be what you are attempting to claim.
I incorporate squats differently than most. I use the squat as muscle building cardio and I don’t do any traditional cardio except take the hound for walks (not really cardio to me).
People still need to find their own way and do what they get excited about.
I still report what I’m doing cause it’s all about sharing tidbits. I like to hear any tidbit I can.
Credit where it’s due, I can also agree with this.
For what it’s worth, I don’t personally care how you lift or eat, nor would I ever tell someone what their goals should be.
That said, I wouldn’t suggest most of what you post to anyone, and you don’t really have a tendency to back up any of your claims. You have a very directive style (“do this!”) without any evidence or explanation. It’s fine if it’s what you want to do, and nobody has an issue with that, but you’re rightfully getting criticism because you treat it as instructional.
You said “I ‘utilize’ celery in the morning instead of the evening, lift my 1RM on a bunch of stuff you’ve never heard of, and now I’m strong and lean. You’re not gaining because you’re stuck in your ways.”
There was absolutely no version of:
Anyone: “I think eating celery is inhibiting my progress and damaging my health.”
You: “I dunno, man; I eat celery and my weights are progressing and my blood markers improving.”
But!
You can’t outsmart stupid.
No one can.
