110kg 'TUT' reps on the machine row.

Been slowing down my row movements so I can minimise cheating with twisting or arching.

That'll definitely be a benefit for hypertrophy.

Vegans when they take a picture of their soy burgers and start typing out 'no animals were harmed in the making of this meal'

I guess the innumerable rodents, birds and insects don't count as animals.

The people that criticise your diet 'obsession' are often just uncomfortable with their own lack of focus and discipline with healthy lifestyle behaviours.

Take it as a compliment.

If we really wanted to be big and strong like our ape cousins, then we shouldn't just be munching on salad 10 hours a day.

We should also be eating our own poop, because as hind-gut fermenters, it's a necessary step for getting enough nutrition out of plants.

We all know that steak has plenty of protein, B12, iron, zinc etc....

But did you know that 200g of steak contains 100% of your daily fibre requirements?

The perks of monocropping:

- Intense chemicals
- Bare, hard, dead soil
- Increased water runoff
- Hotter ground temperature
- No wildlife habitat
- More inputs required like pesticides
- Unhealthy ecosystem that will end in catastrophe
- Vastly inferior nutritional product

This is the amount of red meat that the Eat Lancet recommends each day.

14 grams.

Just to be on the safe side, I make sure I have 100 x that.

What RIR would YOU say this set was?

*RIR is how I judge the intensity of a set. 0 RIR means I go to technical failure (meaning the next rep would be an abomination if I managed it).

The 'ancient human' you're referring to.

Our ape ancestors did specialise in salad at some point. But they weren't human.

Meat made us human.

Anyone who thinks carnivore is a fad should enlighten me on what we used to eat in the 99.5% of human existence before agriculture came knocking.

It couldn't have been grains.

It couldn't have been GMO fruits.

It couldn't have been nuts bar the few weeks in the year they were

My workouts rarely go past the hour mark, and generally comprise of 4-5 exercises.

That's more than enough to maximise muscle growth.

Stop defining a good workout by how exhausted you feel.

Quality beats quantity.

90kg rack press.

A healthy 5kg jump from last week.

The rack takes some of the pressure off the rotator cuffs at the bottom.

Lifting in the 4-6 rep range produces the best results if you do the following.

1. Make sure the weight is heavy enough.

2. Control the movement.

This isn't an excuse to ego lift.

That would just reduce the stimulation on the target muscle and increase the risk of injury.

For decades, Big Pharma claimed that nobody could become addicted to opioids if prescribed in moderation.

Nowadays, dieticians claim that there is no way to addicted to sugar, and that it should simply be consumed in moderation.

Sugar addiction is a real epidemic.
