This gym is for everyone. If you are underweight and want to gain mass, you belong here. If you are over weight and want to lose fat/add muscle. You belong here. If you are already fit. Id appreciate your help.
Now. You will find me in FPH threads being a dick to FP. In the gym I will not. I don't like fat people, but if you want to get fit, while we are here, I won't talk shit and I wont allow others to either.
There are no hardgainers and you aren't big boned. It's your diet. Period. I fell for the hardgainer thing. It's bullshit. I haven't been eating enough of good nutritional food nor working hard enough to turn that into muscle. Period. I can lie to myself and blame my metabolism or I can be honest w myself. I do not eat enough. And if you're fat, sorry, you eat too much and work too little. These are the hard facts we all must face.
I've purchased a food scale and for a little while I'm weighing out everything. I know for a fact that the shake I just drank had 680 calories and 40g Protein. I know exactly how much that chicken, rice, and broccoli my lunch is worth. Eventually Ill be able to look at a chunk of chicken and say ' thats about 100g of chicken' and I won't weigh it anymore.
We'll talk about the work plenty. But we must address how much and what we are eating.
He's pandering to fat people by telling them it's not their fault. Promoting fasting for extended period like it's some holy grail * Says calories don't matter, but really he's just being pedantic to stir up some controversy
At the end of the day, I can't take him seriously because his conclusions are derived from his experience with his patients, an exceptional minority of sick and dying people. I'd take the word of a non-pHd'd coach over this quack any day.
Also, none of the fat people I know who follow him ever succeeded in losing weight because obviously they rebound from that fasting and make up for those calories and more.
I bought a new bathroom scale a couple months ago. On the footplate where you stand are 4 metallic pads. If you are barefoot it calculates BMI and body fat and a few other things.
Ive always thought those things pretty iffy at best. But they have been around a little while. Maybe the tech and the algos to figure this stuff out is better these days. idk.
This thing seems to think Im the epitome of health. Every category is 'Standard' or 'Excellent'. It does at least ack that my weight is on the low end. But everything else is A+, and I don't think that can be right. No one who has abused their body as I have should list this well.
