You've gotta start somewhere if you want the kind of body You like/want. Like women want too!
I thought this short video would get a few of you to think twice about *just how much You Are Trying* to improve your physical wellbeing - [check this guys out - be patient and listen to what he says during it, he explains a lot of things you don't normally consider 100 push ups a day for a year
IMHO this guy is more 'alpha' than most guys here 'think *they are*' as he's DOING it.
There's no shortage of "cheap words" in this world. Esp "tomorrow" .
I'm in my 50's and most people think I'm in my early 40's ... sweet 😎 and I want to talk about 'muscle memory' . . . as your muscles DO 'remember' their peak periods
ALL I did was to maintain the body I had 'built' at school and up to around 20yo, by which time I was as 'fit' as one can be, I was as physically strong as anyone my size (5'11"/178cms and ~170lbs/75kgs)
I loved sports but I hated 'exercising' e.g. lifting etc. Alas, as part of my sports training, such things were inevitable but in hindsight I am SO glad I was a physically active kid, as it's Paid Off Big time as I got older And on the occasions I was injured, my recoveries were as good as they got.
i.e. I nearly killed myself doing 1km as fast as possible on on of those exercise bikes with the 'fan blades' on the spokes that get harder the faster you go? I did a Km in 52 secs and then my knees wouldn't hold me up as I tried to walk away from it. For the whole afternoon my knees were giving out!
After school, I took a few years off and at 19yo, I got a job as a bricklayers laborer ... fark! Talk about HARD WORK! But that job "built my body into a strong man's body" during my 18th and 19th yrs
At first I could put 26 8lb bricks in a barrow and take them ~30mts before my left hand would begin to 'let go' - I just didn't have the strength, even though I was a fit young guy out of school. By the time I finished I could put about 60 bricks in a barrow and run in over planks and through sand and my hands simple Would Not give out!
We used to play a game, 'how many bricks lying side by side can you pick up at once?" Most people would be lucky to do 3-4, we'd be doing 10-12 (before it wasn't possible to 'hold them together' and the middle would collapse)
Yet, It was this work that "chiseled my body' into the form it "remembers" . I had a body like a 75kg Ninja warrior) Not huge, but Very Strong! And the women loved it.
Now ... and it's the shape my body will return to, given the chance. Had I never 'created that body" in the beginning, from LOTS of Hard work and dynamic activities I wouldn't be writing this as I never would've survived the Life I have had so far! And being fit Really helped being good at sex, stamina etc. Plus the girls love the 'Hard curves'
And by the end of the year I was Ripped AF, <10% BF and 75kgs of Pure Muscle . . . and I liked it, as did the girls. I liked it SO much *I kept on doing it* and my 'muscle memory' IS one where they are 'strong and fit'.
My point is that, what is called "homeostasis" in medicine = what your body 'remembers' the 'best you' to Be! - BUT, it's up to You to become that person Before you 'stop growing' physically. It's NOT something you can 'create later' -- if you haven't "built your body by 25yo" it's going to be Much harder
After all, it, your body, Knows 'how you are meant to be' as it has "all the instructions" in your DNA, and Unless you fail to 'support it' by eating shit and doing SFA 'exercise' - i.e. a walk to Maccas = exercise NOT!
IT's VIP that we 'Don't forget' (OR, more likely, no one tells you until it's too late) that we "keep growing physically until at least 23-25yo and our "brains" are STILL developing until about 28-30yo! Ergo Sum: Your 'training' hasn't finished 'just becoz' you left school!
In my honest opinion, (unless you have a *serious* disability) being a 'fit, healthy' person is Normal. e.g. go to an 'average Asian country' and see how many 'fat people' there. You won't see many. Why?
Mainly it's due to One word, DIET. You ARE WHAT YOU EAT .... Literally.
It's only because many people are lazy and life has become 'easy', so, *they don''t bother* about their diet, and eat shit called 'fast food', BUT they sure do bitch about their weight/unhealthy state etc when it begins to affect them!
VIP When I was about 19yo, a guy I respected a lot, 'suggested' I 'TRY being a vegetarian for a week. He had just explained a variety of reasons for doing so - - one being that "bull and elephants and some whales are vegetarians too!" OK, I would give it a go
And so, as I happened to ride by this wonderful vegetarian eatery on my way to photography studies, I'd stop there for lunch and I'd get some vegetarian TA's for dinner. (This was from 19~21)
A week later, my Mind was Blown! Aside from the 'extra energy' I seemed to have, I 'felt Light' (i.e. not heavy, lethargic AT ALL!) And so I became a vegetarian for the next several years. Although I occasionally had eggs or fish or maybe a small steak
The when I was 25yo, I went to live in NZ (the home of my LTR of 2yrs) that I had to break that 'habit' .... I must admit though, that IF I smelled a BBQ it was like my 'ape brain' would kick in and I's start salivating like a hungry derg! Fortunately, I had the strength of will to refuse those (oh so fucking TASTY looking chops!)
While I am no longer a staunch vegetarian, I have less than 10% "meat" in my diet, usually as salami . . .and when summer comes, the odd BBQ'd chop! Anyway eating meat constipates me badly, it's like I've stuck a cork in my guts ... no bueno!
You ARE WHAT YOU EAT .... Literally. How many of you are probably 20% Maccas and 30%KFC with a 25% pizza component? Me thinks Too many?
SO guys, just start with something easy like this, yet MOST Importantly, KEEP IT UP, as this guy DID!
Regardless, as he says, he MADE HIMSELF DO IT EVERY DAY
Can you?
