A tale of two bodies.

The body in the first two pictures:

- Cannot lift a barbell over its head
- Cannot sleep through the night due to severe and chronic back pain
- Drinks 4-6 Dr Peppers and eats 10-20g of protein a day. Most of its calories are from sugar
- Is a douchebag because it's constantly projecting it's insecurities into the world around it

The body in the last two pictures:

- farts a lot
- spends a lot of time saying "man I'm sore" or "my knee hurts"

Fitness will change your life, folks. Let this be your sign to make the change today!!

Interview: https://youtu.be/3Ncx8oMuUf4?is=4szsTpWh_mhwmYdj

Yes, I did get a haircut. Thank you for noticing.

I liked this interview. I didn't touch on it in this video but there is a big misunderstanding from spectators or people who only lift recreationally. Sports are not healthy, and you shouldn't do a sport thinking it's going to good for you. Even going regularly senior night at the local pickleball court will have you weighing the pros and cons of your joint pain and ACL tenderness vs the emotional satisfaction of playing some rounds of P Ball.

So if you're getting into pretty much any type of sport or activity and want to take it to a competitive level, just understand that you are stepping out of the "Physical activity is healthy for me" circle and more into the "how many months of pain and discomfort am I willing to trade for a shot at winning something?" circle.

I have no thoughts or opinions today. Please enjoy your day without my input.

Except that I am going to strict press 315 and bench press 405 next year. I see the line. I will make it happen.

Gather round, Johnny Average Guy has opinions again.

Here's the nuance: Some exercises ARE better than others depending on your goals. Generally, specificity is king for lifts so if you're wanting to get a big bench, you need to bench.

Individual muscles don't really have that weakness. They'll grow as long as they're being made to hold increasing amounts of tension over time.

So if you want big biceps, you can do rows, pull ups, OR cable bicep curls, and all of them will grow your biceps. Obviously the first two will have other benefits too.

If you see a jacked guy saying his arms are only big because he did a specific variation of curl, he's just a victim of confirmation bias. That curl worked for him, but another curl probably would've gotten him just as jacked, he just didn't like vibe with it as much.

And vibes are EVERYTHING in this game. Which is my whole point. As with everything else in life, what will give you the best results is the stuff you can do consistently and repeatedly over a long period of time.

So just stop worrying about it, and go get tf after it.

Taking advantage of @masonbogowitz and @keek.bailey 's new kitten Mary to drive mid-reel engagement...? More likely than you think!

Temps dropped under 90 this week. Hot boy summer is coming to an end and I hate it 😢

Squat up to 355 x 5, then hit trap bar deads for 10 x 5 @ 335. High key sucked butt.

Pressing is COOL!!! Would love to hear what you've used to break through ohp plateaus, because they're some of the stickiest ones out there imo

I'm just a guy with opinions. Also I have a catch phrase that I debut at the end of the video. I'm copyrighting it so you're legally not allowed to say it too.

Another rant inspired by people on the internet. At least it's inspired me to make videos.

Also no shade to Nippard, guy is a hoss but the exercise science black hole kept him down for a while and it empowered too many dorks who have now taken everything too far.

Let me know what you think!

If you like bicep curls, that's cool! They're definitely an amazing exercise. They just get gatekept and over analyzed by dweebs all the time.

Your muscles don't exist in a vacuum. Everything is designed to work together, and your biceps are no different. Using multiple muscles while engaging your biceps is not only more fun (opinion) but it also lets you overload them for max mechanical tension and pumpage. Or whatever you science geeks like to say.

I owed @nancetaller some shared suffering of sandbag carries this week so I figured I'd make an inflammatory video inspired by anonymous strangers pissing me off on the internet because I haven't touched grass since 2017.

Dramatic video of me telling you to pick up the weights

DO IT!!

Nobody can make it happen for you, except YOU!!

Anyway last week I could barely get out of a chair and now I'm back to deadlifting (technically. Kinda.) so my rehab is going well. Still have a lot of kinks to work out but progress is progress.

Squatting and trap bar deadlifting ASMR. Went a liiiittle off program on this one 🙈

5 x 375
1 x 405
1 x 455 (50lb fuck it jump went crazy)

5 x 10 x 245 trap bar

65lb pr in the middle of a hypertrophy block is funny enough to justify doing. Also funny to think the first time I squat 4 plates is the same day I squat 4 and a half plates. Sandbag your PRs, kids.
