PART 3: Trying Bulgarian snacks 🇧🇬❤️ with my English boyfriend

Growing up in Bulgaria, these were the snacks that made up my childhood. 🇧🇬❤️ And watching my English boyfriend try them for the first time brought ALL the memories back. 😂 From school breaks and family trips to long summer days with friends, these Bulgarian childhood favourites instantly take me back to being a kid.

Now that I live abroad, sharing Bulgarian food has become one of my favourite ways to share a little piece of home. Because Bulgarian food isn’t just about what’s on the plate. I believe it’s culture, tradition, nostalgia, and the memories we attach to every bite. 🥹

If you watched my previous video, you’ll know I went shopping for some of my favourite Bulgarian snacks. 🇧🇬 Today was the taste test… and let’s just say my English boyfriend had A LOT to say. 😂
Some reactions were expected. Some were absolutely NOT. 👀

My mission is to give Bulgarian food the recognition it deserves and introduce more people to the incredible flavours, traditions and stories behind it.
Every country has those foods that can quickly transport you back to childhood. These are mine. ❤️

🇧🇬 If you’re Bulgarian: which childhood snack brings back the MOST memories for you?

🌍 If you’re not Bulgarian: which Bulgarian snack would you try first?

And be honest… would you trust my boyfriend’s snack opinions? 😂👇

Trying my favourite Bulgarian snacks 🇧🇬❤️ PART 1

Growing up in Bulgaria, these were the snacks I couldn’t imagine my childhood without. 🇧🇬❤️ Every bite brings back memories of school, family trips, summers with friends, and the simple joy of being a kid.

Now that I live abroad, one of my favourite things is sharing those memories through food and, of course, getting my English boyfriend to try them for the first time. 😄 Watching his reactions reminds me that food is so much more than something we eat but it’s culture, tradition, nostalgia, and a way of bringing people together.

If you watched my previous video, you’ll know I went shopping for these Bulgarian childhood favourites. Today is the taste test… and let’s just say he had some opinions. 😂

Started this cut at the beginning of May at 214lbs. Been in a slight caloric deficit, been intentional about tracking everything I put in my body, and training really hard. A bunch of examples of what I eat throughout the day.

I suck at posting. Going to try and be more active on here. Starting with just weekly highlights and building from there!

Contributing To The “Training Footage” Debate On S&C Social Media 🎥

12 minutes of my perspective on whether using clips of other athletes & work from other coaches should be acceptable.

This discussion has really been brewing for a long time & has only become a debate within the last 48 hours. there are plenty of perspectives to go over.

Where do you stand? 📲

If you want to decrease your 40 time you need to improve you acceleration capacity

Mostly that will come from actually spending a decent amount of time practicing short sprints 10-30m

The main characteristics you’re looking for here are good horizontal hip projection and striking down and back with the feet, with low heel recovery.

Resisted sprints, sled bounds and acceleration bounds really help to develop these characteristics much more than just doing countless wall drills (even though wall drills can have their place)

Broad jump variations develop maximal explosive hip extension, which is crucial in the first few strides.

Outside of that we just need to be generally strong relative to our bodyweight (especially in hip hinging and hip extension dominant movements) and have a strong/robust foot/ankle complex to be able to transfer force effectively from the hips to the ground without leakage or collapse.

All of these components are in the Athletic OS system.

It can be a hard job deciding what to cut and what to keep.

A coach’s job is as much about focusing on what not to give an athlete as it is about what to give them.

@maxkgperformance has taken some big steps towards driving more specificity into his programming as we chase new goals, and that doesn’t come without sacrifice.

Eventually, when you get down to brass tacks, you can’t have every outcome in a program progressing at 100%.

Pushing for broad spectrum athleticism is a great ideal to chase, but it’s important to understand that once goals become specific, and some outcomes are named as more important than others, a hierarchy gets built.

If you’re training without that hierarchy where everything is valued equally, you can fit a lot into a program and have it all progress happily, and that’s a great way to train.

On the flip side, a more directed dosage towards those outcomes may limit the development of secondary outcomes, or even things you enjoy, but it will fast track progress.

One isn’t better than the other - it’s just a different point in the same story.

(He still gets some dunks off a standing jump, I’m not a monster.)

Day of eating. Finishing up this bulking phase in the next 2-3 weeks, maxing out some lifts, then starting a cut over the summer. Goal is to get shredded and improve jump/sprint performance.
