build muscle and lose fat at the same timeđđ» Not all calories are equal. Only focusing on proteins, fats and carbs to get shredded and jacked is a rat race to the bottom⊠The bottom being your emaciated gollum looking ass shredding every last bit of muscle youâve built and blasting your passion for life to smithereens. Inevitable success lies in playing chess, not checkers. Once I started doing everything I could to skyrocket my reproductive hormones and boost my metabolism this health and fitness part of my life ceased to require any attention at all. I was eating a ridiculous amount of food, getting crazy strong in the gym, packing on muscle mass, getting leaner at the same time, and my energy became that of my teenage self at damn near 30 years old. I donât think I need to tell you why you want more testosterone. But think of DHT as testosteroneâs big brother. Itâs the reason you have facial hair, a deep voice, and can even make you grow taller because of its effect on bone growth. This makes muscle gain effortless, and turns you into a gentle giant. Like the great dane that could tear your head off but loves everyone around him. Testosterone is more like a yappy chihuahua that will bite you for breathing weird. This is why men who are on TRT become emotional little bitches and freak out over the most ridiculous shit. T3 is thyroid hormone. Your thyroid controls your metabolism, but also your energy and vitality. Your mood and your focus. If your thyroid is functioning higher than wiz khalifa, you couldnât possibly over eat because your metabolism is burning up so many calories. If you focus on strength primarily, you will only build lean mass, there wonât be anything leftover to add fat mass. Meaning you appear leaner and more muscular over time. This is how you look better and better and better from beginning to end of a bulk, and the only reason youâll cut is because youâre so exhausted from eating so many calories every day. This is the way. Send this to someone whoâs obsessed with counting calories and macros đ #gym #fitness #nutrition #hormones #fit #trending #fyp #health #workout #transformation #gymmotivation #macros #caloriecounting

·1d ago not sure if you can tell⊠but in the first video I was in the midst of one of the most stressful times in my entire life. Self inflicted too. Yes, I was dick skin shredded, but my anxiety was through the roof, I was exhausted 24/7, I couldnât think straight, and I was making the most ridiculous short sighted decisions you could ever imagine. Literally living as if I was going to die tomorrow. I could not see past 24 hours. Living paycheck to paycheck and not even trying to come up with a plan to better my financial or life situation. I accredit this largely to the foods I was eating at the time, and the lifestyle decisions I had been making. -Neglecting sleep -Eating mainly processed and inorganic foods -Drinking/smoking profusely -Making decisions that inevitably lead to stress -Only working out 1-2 times a week -Relying on other people to take care of me I simply wasnât treating myself like someone I was responsible for. It wasnât until the end of that year that I finally decided to get my shit together. I picked a bedtime. I stopped eating processed foods but also stopped eating chicken, rice and veggies. I started eating red meat, eggs, fruit, honey, and taking supplements that would improve my hormonal health. I stopped drinking and smoking entirely, and I started focusing on where I wanted to be and started taking massive action in that direction. I never thought manifestation was legit until this time⊠because opportunities started falling directly into my lap. I started building muscle and losing fat at the same time, and eventually got the most lean, muscular and heavy I had ever been. I could think straight, and suddenly, my shitty life didnât seem so bad. I had a better outlook on life, and itâs only been uphill from there. I challenge you to feed and care for yourself like your future son, or as if you were building a superhuman for the next 30-90 days. My guess is you will have the most rapid growth youâve ever experienced to date, just as I did. Send this to a friend you want to see leveling up exponentially in 2025 đ«Ąđ #fitness #transformation #gym #gymmotivation #fyp#fypending ##bodybuilding#fitnessjourney #inspiration #fit

·2d ago more rest days than lifting days, lots of sugar and carbs, no cardio, no ice baths, no obsessive calorie counting, and i rarely get 10K steps Iâm not thinking about âdoing a dietâ or âdoing a workout planâ⊠Iâm on the playboy protocol. Iâm just living. This fitness shit will be as hard as you want to make it. Idk about you but iâd prefer to use less willpower so i donât get fucking fried and snap. If you want to look like you belong on the cover of a magazine without hating every single moment of it⊠Youâve got to set your life up in a way that would make it HARDER TO FAIL than it would be to just level up gracefully. If looking like something out a dirty romance novel wasnât enough to make other people jealous⊠Seeing how you barely even have to put any effort in is going to drive people fucking crazy đ Donât do it for them though, do it for you, because youâre the one thatâs going to want to jump out of bed every morning excited to crush every single day đ If youâre ready to start really LIVING life the way you know you were always meant to⊠đČ COMMENT the words âREAL LIFEâ and Iâll message you back with the details #fitness #gym #motivation #bodybuilding #weightloss #foryoupage

·3d ago two months prior to the first video, I looked rather mediocre⊠I had been training for 3 years at that point and i put on like 30 pounds but i still looked skinny as hell and you would never have been able to tell I put on any muscle. The truth is I was just winging it. Doing what thought would work and not listening to people shouting from the rooftops that you need to count calories, you need to build strength, you need to track your lifts. But whatâs crazy is all the stuff I was listening to that was just plain wrong. People would say stuff likeâŠ đ€Ą You have to do cardio to lose fat đ€Ą Workout at least 5 days a week đ€Ą All that matters is calories in vs calories out đ€Ą Drink a gallon of water a day for peak hydration đ€Ą You only have high testosterone when youâre younger and it drops rapidly after 30 đ€Ą Steroids are the only way to get huge I can go on for days. This was a decade ago and they spewed all this trash that is still widespread and accepted as truth today. All I can tell you is my physique really blew up when I started training 3 days a week max, I stopped doing deliberate cardio, I stopped treating every calorie equally, I stopped poisoning my body by putting chemicals on my skin or putting chemicals in my mouth, and I started taking care of myself like someone I was responsible for. Quit the gimmicks and just do the stuff that has always worked. Civilized or not, youâre still an animal, so live as close to a wild animal as you can in terms of diet and your living conditions and hack your physique to where you want it to be with strength training 3x per week. MWF is the best schedule because you get weekends off.

·3d ago believe me, thereâs gonna be a day when you look in the mirror and your shoulders are popping like youâre a god damn action figure. Itâs a monumental realization, and once it happens, youâll never want to give up that feeling again. For most guys, this happens when you get to the point where you never touch dumbbells that are lighter than 35 lbs on lateral raises. The cool thing is, it doesnât take much, just do them once per week for 3 sets of 8-12 reps⊠Move heavier and heavier weight over time, and so long as your diet and recovery are on point⊠Youâre one step closer to looking like a real life action figure đȘđ» If you want to secure every part of the process and make it air tight so you get to that level sooner than later⊠DM me âACTION FIGUREâ and Iâll message you back myself to see where youâre currently at and where to take it from here đ Send this to a friend thatâs getting death star delts with you in 2025 đȘđ» - - - #gym #gymmotivation #workout #workouttips #fitness #fitnessjourney #shoulders #barbell #dumbbell #bodybuilding #physique #gymrat #viral#viralding #bo#bodyransformation #fit #foryoupage#fittivation #fitnesscoach

·4d ago quit celebrating for nothing every weekend and start allocating that time and money you spend on useless shit you wonât even remember in 2 weeks on something thatâs actually going to level up your life. Health, wealth, relationships and higher purpose are the 4 power bars you should be looking to max out on a daily basis in some way shape or form. Youâre smart enough to know that health comes first. Being healthy is being able. Being healthy is looking the part. Being healthy should be the default. If itâs not, your life is a fraction of what it could be. Because the people you want to date or network with can sense whether or not you take care of yourself. Not just in your appearance, but in your eye contact and in your voice. Who knows what youâve let slip through your fingers because you didnât come correct⊠and whether you acknowledge it or not, youâre leading by example for the people who look up to you in your life⊠your current or future kids, your family and your friends. If youâre not going to do it for you, do it for them. If youâre ready to start making the real memories youâve always dreamed of and start living life by your design from here forward⊠DM me âNEW WORLDâ and Iâll message you back myself đ - - - #fitness #gym #gymmotivation #motivation #inspiration #freedom #money #life #lifed#trendingoupage #body#bodyls #personaldevelopment #selflove #bodybuilding #fit #fitnessjourney #health

·5d ago you canât get rich pinching pennies and you canât rely on eating less and less food in order to get lean. Who the fuck wants to eat a bunch of bland ass chicken breast and veggies all day just to have a six pack? Itâs not worth it. The same way need to focus on increasing your income to attain wealth⊠You need to focus on how to boost your metabolism so you have more calories to work with meaning you can still be in a calorie deficit and eat MORE of the foods you actually like! Not to mention youâll have more energy and vitality. You wonât be a miserable fuck 100% of the time. Youâll be a cocky jacked mf that everyone asks âHOW DO YOU DO IT?!â Meanwhile youâre eating exactly what you want every day stuffing yourself sick, and youâre not working out 5 days a week, having to walk 10K steps a day or doing any bullshit cardio workouts for fat loss. Live your life in a way that nurtures your hormonal health so you FEEL like a teenager and LOOK like something out of your girlâs latest smut book đ Work smarter not harder!!!

·1-25my leg/foot is numb as i write this 5 days later Aside from throbbing sciatica (pain emanating from the sciatic nerve which runs from the lower back down the back of the leg into the foot) Iâve also lost the ability to dorsiflex my foot (flex my ankle upwards to bring my toe up) as I regularly would. Which has made walking challenging, and downright irritating. This is a condition called âfoot dropâ and indicates damage or pinching of the peroneal nerve which stems off the sciatic nerve. After speaking with multiple people who have gone thru a similar experience, seeing a chiropractor, and even scouring the internet for hours on end until 5am some nights trying to figure out whatâs wrong with me⊠It would not be outlandish to think i have herniated a disc or multiple discs in my lower back. Whatâs certain is that I am definitely dealing with a pinched nerve which is why I have the sciatica and foot drop. Most people would be freaking the fuck out right now in my position, and I wonât act like I was not initially worried. But I am not getting surgery, I am not about to spend months going through physical therapy, and I am actually not even going to stop training. I train 3x per week. MWF. This happened on Wednesday. I took Friday off, and went back to the gym on Monday. This is not medical advice. I am not a doctor, and I am not recommending you to do what Iâm talking about here. I am just explaining that my recovery will take as long as I want it to. A herniated disc could be a lifelong battle with multiple back fusion surgeries and chronic back pain and sciatica if i want it to be. It could take me 6 months or a year to recover if I want to take that long. Or it could take me 30-60 days. I donât care what diagnosis I would get from a physician⊠a herniated/bulging disc, spinal stenosis or anything else regarding my lumbar spine. Your body can heal from anything. As crazy as this is to say, I am going to recover from this injury by deadlifting and carrying on with my life. Iâll keep you all updated as time goes on. Thank you to everyone who reached out đđ» #backpain #pain #injury #deadlift #sciatica #spinehealth #fail #recovery #viral #foryoupage

·1-24One of these diets supports optimal hormonal balance and the other creates hormonal imbalance. The main difference between the two is the micronutrients. 100% Grassfed Beef is far superior to even Pasture Raised chicken in terms of the micronutrient profile. It pains me to say this as a guy who grew up on chicken thighs đ Rice is overrated. Brown rice has a higher arsenic content than white rice but it also has polyunsaturated fats which create oxidative damage in the body. This is what create inflammation and even bloating. But grains like oats or rice also have phytic acid and other antinutrients which strip your body of the micronutrients necessary for hormonal balance, but also makes trace minerals and amino acids less bioavailable in your body. Same deal with peanuts, and most other nuts. By the way, PEANUT BUTTER IS NOT A HIGH PROTEIN FOOD. Itâs a high fat food, and high in polyunsaturated fats, which again isnât the type of fats that you want. Besides macadamia nuts, tiger nuts and brazil nuts which promote proper hormone function, youâd be better off steering clear of having nuts in your diet at all. Peanuts are technically a legume anyway. People have obviously eaten these for thousands of years and survived, but if you want optimal hormonal health⊠Itâd be wiser to cut these out. Stick to 100% grassfed red meat and A2 dairy, organic fruits, honey, royal jelly and bee pollen all of which are rich in micronutrients. Eating like this will boost your testosterone, your thyroid hormones, and all the other hormones associated with muscle growth fat loss, energy vitality, sexual health, mental health, brainpower, and more. This wonât make you jacked alone, but it will fuel the fire of a solid workout and nutrition plan. If thatâs an area youâre lacking, and youâd like to continue learning about the power of micronutrients so you can leverage your health to get more out of life⊠Comment âMICRONUTRIENTSâ and Iâll DM you with more details Follow for more đȘđ» #fitness #transformation #workout #explore #viral #foryoupage #gym #gymmotivation #mealprep #nutrition #health #wellness #carnivore #bodybuilding

·1-23stop babying your shoulders unless you want to set yourself up for a life of pain and misery. Youâll be anticipating an injury for the rest of your life which makes it 10x more likely to happen. Your best bet is to put your body in weak positions and build strength in those positions with the fullest range of motion. This does not mean train through PAIN. Thereâs a difference between good stress and bad stress. You want the good stress. I seaparated my shoulder playing hockey when i was younger and had all sorts of shoulder issues and injuries when I was first lifting because I was only doing the safe movements or NOT doing shoulder movements all together. Now i have no shoulder issues whatsoever, and I can do weighted dips with 160 pounds hanging off my dick. Exercises like weighted dips and behind the neck OHP are the ultimate mobility exercises. Add in a healthy dose of face pulls for your rear delts and youâre well on your way to bulletproofing your shoulders. Send this to a friend with bad shoulders!
