Great video, although the builder bars are too expensive, you can get more bang for you buck and more calories eating a nature valley protein bar AND a fig bar at once, 400 calories versus 280 for the same price!!!
I really dig the reframe I got on this a while back.
When we cheat, we break the rules to gain an advantage.
There’s no advantage gained here. This is simply sabotage.
Although, for me, that’s because I just can’t find anything that beats out beef ribs when push comes to shove, haha.
Yep… nothing is gained except inflammation. Ha
Mine are pretty tame… burrito, couple tacos… steak burgers, chili 5 way… not tooooo excessive on the carbs
For me, I’m at the point where cheese is what I’ll consider toward sabotage. I know it won’t satiate me and that it’s VERY energy dense. Pork rinds get close to that too, but that at least have a self-limiter of being crunchy and rough on the roof of my mouth.
We ate pork rinds on duty all the time. Geto food.
I never buy the flavored ones. I find it interferes with satiety signaling.

Keep pumping and it does.
I feel my pumps for well over 12hours when I’m doing over 50reps and actually progressing in weight.
I’ve seen the jailhouse get big vids with those or Cheetos mixed with Ramon noodles. Jailhouse burritos.
I’m sure you have.
Inflammatory response is all
Can’t do any harm.
I guarantee the guy doing that consistently regardless of what they are eating and is progressing in weight and/or reps will get more results than the guy not.
Of course two people with the same circumstances.
Some people don’t directly train arms and get great results. I’m not one of those people. Just ask zecarlo and RT.
I’m a puny runt who’s always had to do more. I was also raised by hippies, I didn’t even eat my first steak until I was over 18.
I think the real power food is all of the friends you make along the way.
Especially if they are all you’ve got left.

I do arms as an afterthought usually. Been focusing on strong-man style stuff lately

I did strongman specifically for 5-years straight and zero other stuff like muscle groups.
I never looked like I lifted.
The farmers walk made my traps very sore, but they never grew from them.
I get better trap results doing deficit farmers deadlifts, don’t care about the carry part anymore. Been there, done that……
No shit?? I get some upper / mid back “soreness” from carries. Hit 450 for 4 sets of around 35 feet yesterday. I also do a lot of rows and Kelso shrugs for traps too

Ukrainian deadlifts aren’t shabby.
I got chlamydia not dysentery from that game
