lifting weights might just be the single best thing you can do for your entire life. hour half to two hours weekly lowers all-cause mortality by 13%, cardiovascular mortality by 19% and neurological mortality by 27%. what else even comes close

this is arguably one of the most dangerous ways to live as a man.

I tend to make better gains on two working sets per movement compared to three. This means that 2 for me is superior for growth than 3 sets. I believe 2 sets close to failure is peak. 1 not enough stimulus. 3 not much more stimulus for more recovery demand

Top 5 Weight Loss Tips: 1. Don’t allow any junk in your house 2. Consume mostly whole/minimally processed foods 3. Prep your own food at home 4. Log your calories on your app the night before 5. EAT THE SAME THINGS AT THE SAME TIMES DAILY # 5 really is the ULTIMATE HACK

How many reps we counting here?

The first time you diet down and actually take it the distance (distance = getting to the 10ish to 12ish% body-fat range) you will have to choke down the biggest slice of humble pie you’ve ever seen in your life EVERYONE that’s dieted down to this body-fat level at least once will tell you this “Thought I’d be chiseled at 170…turns out I needed to get to 138” I hear statements just like this one ALL THE TIME Brace for it Accept it when it comes And then build so you don’t have to remain pathetic forever 🤝

Genuinely want to know how people who don’t work remotely incorporate gym in their daily routine. You have to put aside a minimum of 1.5 - 2 hours for a proper gym session (commute included), how does that even work with a 9 to 5 where you have to cook dinner every night too.

Stop taking fitness advice from 20 year old IG “influencers” I was lean in my fucking 20s too I hit my protein goals with meat lovers pizza Switched to beer from liquor as part of taking care of myself & hydration I’d hit 10k steps grinding on shanks then walk to their house from the bar for 2-3 more rounds of cardio They should wait to offer advice when they have some adult responsibilities & their mom isn’t doing their laundry

I sincerely don't get the appeal of being super cut up. Unless you are juiced up and you're super lean while also being like 220-250--like a legit body builder--it almost never carries over to how you look with clothes on, even just a t-shirt. Most of the natty 6-pack bois I see on here have a 6-pack because they're under muscled and underweight. What's the point? Doesn't seem like a valuable trade-off to me at all.

You can eat steak, potatoes, chicken, ice cream, chocolate etc etc AND lose weight. You CAN NOT eat more calories than your body needs though and lose weight. 😏
