When I saw that I was expecting it to be the Netflix workout. I think he would have better things to say about that one. It was much more focused on applying workouts to his game so I’d love to hear his commentary on that.

That sucks. I'll up my intake to compensate for your inability to consume it.

It would be the same review. One of his core beliefs is that for pro athletes it is all genetics.

It's totally worth it right, because of the protein? Right? RIIIIIGHT?????

I use to go long periods of avoiding fast food/really unhealthy foods but inevitably I would start craving it more and more and then just have weeks at a time of eating all the things I missed. It’s just not sustainable long term if you like those foods. Of course in weight loss pretty much shy one bad meal can ruin a week of work.

But for just sustaining and good balance what has worked for me is mostly just cutting out the soda when I eat something bad. So I allow something not so great for a meal once every 7 days or so but avoid the giant soda they provide. Soda is obviously super bad on its own but the other negative it creates for me is craving even more soda/carbs. Now I like it so I can’t cut it out completely but I’ve moved to the 7 oz cans for when I want to add it to my burgers, pizza, etc which I’ve gotten to the point I don’t automatically need it.

I consider myself lucky in that regard. I’ve never been much of a soda drinker. My weakness is cookies, brownies, cake, ice cream, and chocolate candies.

It’s all poison but at least I’m satisfied after eating a bowl of ice cream. Soda doesn’t do shit but make you thirstier than you already were.

I’m lucky in that for whatever reason I Don’t crave sugar at all. Just stopped wanting sodas, cookies, candy around 16-17.

Do have a weakness for bread/pasta though.

I don’t crave sweets at all but I’m a chip-aholic. I love chips as my snack food. I go to pork rinds to manage that better when eating healthier.

[penguinz]

Cake and donuts.

Carbs consumed on weekends don't count.

I have a terrible urge to destroy all the processed lunch meats.

A few slices of turkey or salami here and there.

Not healthy, but damn good lol.

I just started watching him, too... he posts nearly everyday and has different topics/approaches than the other guys I follow. Even though I've heard "time under tension" a ton, he's really the first person to drive it into my head to the point of slowing down reps in recent weeks.

He had a really good one about why you can't just keep getting bigger and stronger forever, down to the cellular level and how your body operates, along with things like bodybuilder's range of motion decreasing as they put on 30 pounds of muscle. Thought it was really interesting and not just the normal "best chest exercises ranked" type of stuff.

And yeah, the Bobby Stroupe video is pretty brutal, but I know he always emphasizes "jokes all the way down" (and I actually tend to skip a lot of his tangents just as a time saver, but he can be kind of funny).

Salami and cheese might be the best thing ever.

Here's another meal prep I've been making for a couple months now.


1 lb. lean ground meat (I'm a beef guy so usually this is beef, but I made it with turkey and it was almost the same)

1 packet low-sodium taco seasoning (or season yourself)

1 14.5 oz. can of black beans

1 cup cooked jasmine/basmati rice (can buy these now precooked at most stores)

3 cups of various veggies (onions/bell peppers/japs or store-bought pico de gallo are my gotos)


Cook the meat with the taco seasoning, drain, and put in a 8x8 baking pan

layer the rest of ingredients over meat, I usually put the rice somewhere in the middle, so it doesn't get burnt

Add a layer of low-fat cheese to the top and bake in oven @350 degrees for 20 minutes or put half of pan in microwave safe bowl and mike for 90 seconds on high.


I eat these half a pan at a time, which gives about 40 grams of protein/approx. 500 cals per serving.
