Big Eating & A High Metabolism :
Generally I feel better when I both feel hunger and eat more.
Long periods of intermittent fasting trained my body to not often feel hunger.
I’m looking to change this.
By barely eating three days in a row at the dead end job I’ve been working, then eating as much as the hunger I’ve been feeling on days off dictates – I view this as an interesting experiment.
I am not counting calories nor am I counting macros.
I know my body is responding well to this, the same as it it to the front squats I’ve added back into the mix.
It’s comical how quickly front squats improve your midsection, and at least while doing them cross arm bodybuilder style – they’re a bicep and upper back movement.
That being said, for the time, I’m reimplementing…
The Dirty Bulk Life :
Even intermittent fasting I’ve never strayed far from “dirty bulking”.
With a big appetite it’s nothing to break 4000+ calories in two, even one sitting.
The fact I can easily eat big is why I easily stay big, even when I mathematically shouldn’t.
The human body is far more capable than everyone gives it credit for.
And it’s not science, you can’t quantify it.
Take it as a given that what we think of as superhuman is what was intended for human.
Humanity slipped!
We are, as designed, capable of far greater!
I get a laugh out of how quickly on the Internet you’ll find the mantra of the weak rationalizing “eat clen – tren hard”.
Like we can only absorb 30g protein at a time ; yet hunter gatherers were gorging on damn wooly mammoths back in the day.
Somehow I doubt they had the numbers or the preservation techniques to get so little per person off of a literal ton of meat.
It seems a badge of honor type indicator to “will he successfully muscle up or not” by simply looking at “can he eat a pound or more of beef in one sitting”.
Another useful one is “will he consistently drink milk, gomad, for months”.
I’m going to insert the thought here again, as I’ve oft typed…gym chicks tend to bring it, do whatever it takes far more than gym dudes on average.
I don’t think you ever really “need” over 200g protein a day, and notice the two indicators have you hit that in one solid meal of a beef and cheese bowl while drinking milk, with or without food, throughout the day.
Easy peasy.
Calories are the more important part of the anabolic equation.
And the guideline “some nutrition” is what you live by.
Opens you up to basically eating anything and everything, while you naturally tend to shy away from most things they are total garbage unless your body really needs it.
Meat and dairy first.
Plants second.
Trust your gut, follow your instinct.
Look at what worked for your ancestors, and then for the empowerment of your mind picture your ancestors as big, strong, rugged motherfuckers.
Everytime someone calls you a viking, says you could be a bouncer, asks how much you bench, etc – yep, fuel for the fire, positive reinforcement.
Shit bro, I’M REGULARLY SWINGING A TREE BRANCH!
That strikes me as a barbarian type of thing to be doing.
No gym?
Swing a tree branch under the night sky for an awesome upper body workout.
It can be that easy.
