Eating dirty is like a cheat code.
I’m not worried about saturated fat or cholesterol, I’m training hard, so I fuel the animal.
Mainstream diet advice just saw me starve myself at 14, while doing massive cardio from fat to skinny fat.
Fat bodies that put in work physically, they don’t stay fat bodies, they become muscled up meatheads.
That strength work is how you dodge cutting down into skinny fat territory.
I didn’t know a thing at 14 other than I was sick of being fat.
I changed it.
There was no guidance teaching me to lift weights, I figured it all out as I went along.
At 14 I thought only calisthenics were “functional”, used that as an excuse to not lift weights, all the while being not so good at those calisthenics past pushups.
After a bit over a year weighing in the 170s I started pouring olive oil into milk as it was something I realized had to get me closer to 200lbs.
A massive nightly calorie influx, OZs of olive oil.
It’s funny to look back and think that after entering high school at 212 that a year later I thought it impossible to be heavier than 175, let alone 200+.
With what I know now I wouldn’t have pushed to lose scale weight, I’d have just ate better while training strength and sprints like a madman.
Somatotypes change with effort.
You want to be big…are you eating 5000+ calories yet?
Something I recently put my finger on is this ; many guys get a big surge of man strength around 21 years old.
I felt it, I observed it in my lifting partner four years younger than me, now I’m observing it again in one six years my junior.
The more and better you trained before that makes it even more impressive a leap.
Base building!
You need a program?
Train your full body, then go do a million reps for every body part.
You’ll thank me 250,000 reps in.
This physical stuff isn’t hard.
