Is your food: poor, good, or excellent? I found an app to help you eat better. It grades your food & tells you why… Bruh, go to App Store, type: Yuka.

Steroids, steroids, steroids. I bet 80+% of fitness influencers are on steroids. I’m not jealous. I’m upset. These roid dudes are selling pipe dreams to normal dudes. How can I tell they use steroids? Their chest. Gynecomastia bro…

Sunday church and the holy sacrament. BUT, BUT, BUT, BUT the cholesterol! Bruh, cholesterol is not the enemy. The real enemies: Too much sugar, drinking alc, no veg, not exercising, smoking, bad sleep hygiene, not enough omega 3, too much stress. May you be blessed breh.🙏

@cougarhoover Love me som phonk, dirty sound, and doom metal. I just recently took about 6 months off from headphones. My social interactions went up and overall o didn’t notice a big difference in training. To get the extra dopamine I added 1-2 extra cups of coffee per day. 😆

I used to listen to a lot of phonk and gangster rap music ; I thought it would turn me into a bad m*ther f*cker Truth is ; at the time you are listening you feel badass and powerful But The second you stop listening to it that dopamine rush you got stops

@CephasIsaacOgu I eat bread sometimes too. Mostly after exercise and workouts. ;)

@MichaelRasley But I like bread😅. What about whole wheat bread. Is that better?

Bread is sugar bruh…

Everyone likes bread. Here’s why: Bread contains opioid-like compounds that can bind to opioid receptors in the gut and brain, causing mental derangement if they make it to the brain[1]. Gluten exorphins, which are derived from gluten, also bind to opioid receptors, probably outside the brain[2]. In fact, opioid receptors are widely distributed throughout the body, including the gut, lungs, genitals, and other peripheral tissues[3][6]. These receptors can recognize peptides derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of food proteins, including bread and other foods[3]. Eating bread can stimulate opioid receptors and make a person feel good, leading to addiction[4]. The effects of food-derived opioid peptides are diverse and can span the gut, brain, and internal organs[5]. In summary, bread and other foods can contain opioid-like compounds that can bind to opioid receptors in the gut and brain, leading to various effects on the body and mind.

These two foam rolling exercises always relieve my back tension here.👇 This is awesome to do after tons of pull ups or sitting for 6+ hours.👇

Went with a hike with my mom, sister, and new nephew today in Boston. I’m obsessed with getting outside to exercise, hike, bike, & move. My first word when I was a kid: out!

Most people in the gym look grim. We get it, you’re focused. You can smile & say hi too. Use the gym as me time & smile at one person before leaving the gym. 🤜🤛

@CephasIsaacOgu Yessir, chicken, avocado, hummus, apple, cooked in a lot of olive oil. I only cook with olive oil. So on not strength training days I try to eat higher fat and lower carbs to enhance fat burn. 🤜🤛

@MichaelRasley That’s Chicken, Avocado and Apple. Right?

How I try to eat on non-strength training days. The key is to train your body to burn fat by eating less carbs when not strength training. You have 1500 cals stored in muscles/liver. You have 70,000 cals stored as fat on your bod. How you eat trains your body to burn fat…

@ZoldenGames Yes sir, one need different things day-to-day based on what you do & what works for you. I’m all about eating a small amount of fruit per day, for the pre-biotic fiber benefits (i.e. pectin in apples, inulin in bananas) to boost serotonin (must add fermented foods too). 🤜🤛

@MichaelRasley That apple won't help. In theory, insulin blocks fat use. So, body will starve on low calories, but won't be able to access fat. People are different though. For me eating low amount of carbs lowers gym performance. While zero carbs allows to enjoy plenty of energy.
