I’m really starting to doubt that what is supposed to be in my supplements is really what is in my supplements.
I don’t believe in rest. Correction, I don’t believe in excessive rest. I’ve a throat infection and I’m at the point where it’s rather minor, just the occasional cough here and there and some minor throat discomfort. My family has been literally nagging at me to rest more and go out less, be it for school/work/etc.
For some reason, I just can’t do that. I refuse to let such a minor ailment get the better of me.
If anything, people in general need to get their priorities fixed. Maybe you shouldn’t tell someone to get more rest when they’re having a minor throat infection when you’re literally obese with type 2 diabetes. In normal circumstances, I’d straight up ignore/tell the person to fuck off but when it’s family… Eh, that makes things a lil more complicated.
Yeah, just get everyone around you sick.
So many confessions to make:
I love making fun of crossfitters but I know I can’t even come close to their level of fitness.
I can never refer to Matt Kroc as anything other than Matt Kroc even though she could probably beat the piss out of me.
Everytime I see someone bashing Westside method on the internet because it doesn’t work for some sub-group (raw, natty, women, old, young, etc) my immediate reaction is to make fun of them and disregard them. (If you don’t like conjugate training, cool. It’s a training method, not a religion).
I’m a Mark Bell gear whore.
I feel better.

Confession- I could eat a whole package of Strawberry Newtons without even thinking about it.
I really don’t care what is in them either. It could be that red high temp grease from the automotive store. A glass of milk makes it all good.

I manipulate macros for beer–and I don’t feel bad.
I make fun of crossfitters although I was a mega douche crossfiter myself for 2 years.

I know certain people make fun of bodybuilders, but I actually think you have to be a very special sort of person to be a bodybuilder. You have to train hard and regulate your diet to an insane degree, and my admiration is in no way lessened by the fact that I’m clearly not that sort of person myself (I love to eat and I sometimes have unscheduled breaks from training). Most people who make fun of bodybuilders, I’d venture to suggest, can’t actually outlift them.

I wish guys would clarify what they mean when they say that they dont lift heavy. It is such a abstracted term…

I remember watching a video where Stan Efferding was talking bout doing light deadlifts or something… 600lbs for 10. Yeap, that’s light alright.

In the age of instant experts:
I find it ridiculous that there are people on YouTube with huge followings that can barely outlift me and look every bit as out of shape.
I find it ridiculous that I can have a conversation with someone on esoteric bits of engineering who has no formal training, but that same person can’t figure out weight training.
I understand physique folks and I understand power folks. What I don’t understand is everyone in between.

Even though most of my training is physique driven I occasionally drink my dinner a.k.a. I drink multiple beers.

Me and a couple friends used to get absolutely hammered when we lifted. It was all good until that inevitable “Hold my beer…” moment.
