Bodybuilding punishes impatience. It rewards those who can zoom out and play the long game. We all crave that dopamine hit - seeing the scale move, catching a good look in the mirror after a refeed, feeling the pump that makes you think you're making progress. But bodybuilding

I think I'm putting on a bit more muscle, which is crazy as I'm doing more running than I've done in 24yrs. At 40 I decided to compete in the Masters sprinting - did ok. When I turned 60 I decided to 'train' for the mile to regain the aerobic fitness I'd lost from only sprinting.

Prep every single morning. You want to be big? Nutrition is everything.

Don’t do anything risky or hard. Fatigue can kill you. Proof of work below.

It’s just 90 minutes, it’s up to you how you use that time

2 weeks out vs a random gym shot. 45 lbs difference. Different angle. That’s the illusion of ‘size’ a lot of us show off while bulking. To all the delusional Erics out there: Strip down to 7–8% body fat, take full-body shots, front and rear, and see what’s really there…

14 years old is the best time to start. 20 years old is a great time to start. 26 years old is a good time to start. 35 years old? You're is still good. 41 years old? You better start now. 49, 55, and even over 60? You can still start lifting. Just start, no matter your

So here we go, my first ever set of hip thrusts (after a few warm-ups). Took me only 31 years to try it. Not sure about the form, tried my best, and happy to hear criticism from my bros. Really liked it. Mind-arse connection: 9 out of 10. Article about Bret Contreras

That's me, apparently...

“I was one of them, I was a bodybuilder too. Gym, prepping my meals, supplements, gear… I did all of it… until I realised it won’t help me with girls…” Girls mother…er??? You did it for the wrong reason. That’s why you sucked at it. Now you’re posting those clown comparison

Nobody forces you to be a bodybuilder, it’s not for everyone… And you don’t have to believe lifting makes much difference in a man’s success, but keep in mind, being small and weak usually doesn’t help either.

Are you afraid people will see you differently once you eventually let go of your bodybuilding identity? Dorian’s sage take is something I catch myself thinking about more and more. Letting go of a label shouldn’t feel like losing yourself. At some point, you need a meaning in

The fast food of choice when I’m on the go on a busy Sunday. 100gram protein is the main thing. Everything else doesn't really matter.

whatever a man refuses to confront becomes the behavioural operating system his children start life with. Sons calibrate their nervous systems to a father’s unintegrated impulses; daughters absorb the emotional instability he pretends isn’t there. This is how

Another proof of work. And the evidence that free weights and some carbs are good for gains.

The obesity problem is an ignorance and procrastination problem. The first step is to admit to yourself that you need to take a first step. For many people, and some of my clients, it took years to admit that something had to change. Sedentary lifestyle, junk food, long hours

We’ve had this conversation 100 times before. My body can do more than yours, that’s the point.
