Another reason...

Why you shouldn't back up someone you know is stupid is because when you do that, that person goes and does the same thing for people who are more stupid than them. And I'm not saying be mean to stupid people for no reason, I'm just saying don't back them up.

Hadi Choopan wins and Nick Walker 3rd place! Told ya. 

My thoughts on pork

So I rarely eat pork, but my friend gave me some today so I figured I would discuss it a bit(old picture btw). So the main reason I don't eat pork much is because it has a higher fat content than both chicken and beef. A 3oz serving of pork contains about 12g of fat while 3oz of chicken has 2.7g and beef 7.6g. And all three have about the same protein content(although I would say beef has atleast 1g more). It doesn't taste better than chicken or beef to me, it just tastes different. Also, whenever I eat it I tend to get kind of bloated and have this sluggish energy feeling afterwards for the remainder of the day. So there you have it, that's why I don't really eat pork much, but I do enjoy it every once in a while!

I just went to the grocery outlet to specifically buy canned tuna and it was COMPLETELY sold out, wtf. There's always a ton of it there. I'm happy if the people who bought it did so because they are feeling inspired to get in better shape. But god damn there's usually atleast 100 cans there, if not more at any given time.

MR. Olympia prediction

With the recent shocking news of the Liver King being found out as not natural and the Mr Olympia starting in 2 days, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about any Pro bodybuilders I follow lately. Although I don't watch most of them and do not aspire to look like a professional bodybuilder myself, one guy that I've found to be impressive is Nick Walker. I first noticed this guy when he won the 2021 Arnold Classic, and I have to say this guy just has a unique freaky shape to his body and gets shredded. So I am interested to see how he will do at the Olympia. My prediction? Top 3 I would think. So there it is folks, whether you're on the sauce, not on the sauce, or just love eating pasta sauce, I think most of us can appreciate an impressive physique so let's see what happens.

Back to the fitness stuff. Did people really think the Liver King was natural? I mean I was fooled by alot of the fitness models when I was younger, but this guy was just silly from the beginning. It didn't even seem like he was trying to fool anybody. I always saw and liked the guy as a fitness " entertainer." But notice keyword entertainer there.

Regarding my last post, when I said listen more to all types of people I didn't mean listen more to all types of idiots.

Learn to identify people who are usually wrong and try NOT to listen to them. And be honest, don't defend people you know are stupid, because you aren't helping them. You are just telling them it's ok to keep failing on everything. And if that keeps up the rest of their life, one day these people are literally going to be on their deathbeds confused why so many things in their life didn't workout.

And ANOTHER thing, you guys need to listen more to all types of people, NOT just one group of people.

An example of Appropriate use of Feelings:

Asking yourself questions like, " Does my body FEEL healthy?" " Does my mind FEEL healthy?" " Do I FEEL like I have a cold?" Or a guy or girl asking themselves if they FEEL attracted to him or her.

Then the answers would be "My body FEELS unhealthy." "My mind does or doesn't FEEL healthy" " I FEEL like I have a cold." That's how feelings are appropriately used. Not "I FEEL like he caused the car accident"(when the facts say otherwise) or you FEEL like someone should be your friend even though you've only known them for a week.

People you CAN NOT literally joke around over 50% of the time with someone you barely know and then all of a sudden say something you're serious about in the same joking tone and expect them to know you're actually serious.

If you intentionally choose to be a character known for never being serious then you cannot blame other people for seeing you as that.

An example of inappropriate use of feelings

Scenario: you call your best friend to hangout and they explain that they don't have time that day because they are busy with school, work, and visiting family. However, you FEEL that they do have time to hangout that day. And you get extremely upset.

Everytime I meet someone I don't know and doesn't know me, who gives me that, " He acts like he doesn't know me look." ..... I'm like oh boy, here we go again...

And I've been trying to explain this to everyone for the last 7yrs, but there's always those idiots that don't want to listen, and end up adding super avoidable problems to their lives and those around them.

I am not some anti feelings/ anti emotion guy. But most people are using their feelings when they shouldn't and not using them when they should.

These days, from a fitness standpoint, you pretty much have to automatically give some respect to anyone pushing a non motorized scooter or skateboard. Just saying lol.

Do people seriously not realize that me and other fitness people DO actually get bored af of going to the gym. But we still go. Lol

You know for me personally the most disturbing thing I encountered during the entire pandemic was when I would remind people(either friends, family, or people I knew) that we DIDN'T WANT more of things we had both agreed that we didn't want more of, and they would turn in silence and look at me like what I was saying made absolutely no sense. Lol

I'm serious, it's funny but it's also not.

Sadly alot of adults these days need to learn this or relearn this. And no I am not posting this as a joke.

An elevation of the senses, May help break down some fences.

I think more people need to be aware, especially smarter people, that sometimes going with your "gut feeling" about something, even if you are right 9.99/10 times! Can still end up with you being 100% damn wrong.

The difference between Nice and Kind.

Which one are you?

This is a bit of an abstract thought here, but I'm observing more and more people who have a disconnect with the physical realm are also the same people who believe that things that you both know(especially super basic things) have to be somehow physically visible at literally any given moment in order for it to be real, true, or even exist/have existed. It can be funny to see this, but it's more bizarre in a bad way.

If you are ever shopping around for instant coffee and you see this Nescafe original "extraforte" and are wondering if it's actually stronger than the classic one, the answer is yeah quite a bit stronger. And a lot stronger than instant Folgers as well.

Well, it's hot as hell over here and I decided to do some reading on how the body functions differently in hot weather as far as "Does it actually burn more calories? Etc." So thought I would share this article, it has alot of good information.

It's crazy observing people who watch tiktok videos all day and how they are totally unaware that they are further melting what's left of their brain with each video they watch.

With the way most people think(or I should say, are not able to think) these days, I'm honestly surprised people are not driving way worse than they are.

I have to say StarKist tuna tastes way better than chicken of the sea.

For Real.

from "wannabe food" Facebook 

More people need to think about how little "evidence" they require to decide if someone they don't know is bad, but even more importantly how little "evidence" they require to decide if someone they don't know is good.

I don't know if you guys have noticed, but alot of times the people who commit the worst crimes look like "normal" nice people. There is NO rule or Law that says a sick evil person HAS to look like a stereotypical bad guy. Lol

From "fragments of my mind"

At this point it's not only that most people don't know anything, but I'm pretty sure most of them don't even know what the word "know" means. Almost like it disappeared from the dictionary and existence or something.

From "coffee soul wine"

Don't you hate it...

When you buy that whole rotisserie chicken that looks nice and tasty, only to discover the inside is undercooked.

I try not to imagine how much dumber people are going to be next year in 2023..

Here's a question for you guys to think about: Would it be possible to imagine or know what colors(non black or white) would look like if you only saw things in black or white your entire life(basically color blind)?

I was talking to a lady today who is into powerlifting and wants to compete in the "women's wellness" division. She knew who Kali muscle is, But not Ronnie Coleman...

Lol

People are also becoming more and more opposed to communication about simple things in situations where they would be the main ones benefiting from it.

Do you guys think that's smart of them or dumb? 

Effective communication about even the most basic things has become so rare these days. That giving a clear answer to a simple question is enough to put most people in a state of Awe.

Lol top fitness influencers talking bad about other top fitness influencers doing onlyfans and then at the end of the video, ask if people think they should do it because they want to. Lol

Don't Die living a Lie.

Ok guys, I'm going to point out the obvious once again to help some of you. If you ever suspect that you don't know the WHOLE story about someone, that is because you MORE THAN likely DO NOT. Especially if you barely know them.

I think people need to start practicing reading more, immediately. At first it was people starting not to know what simple words meant anymore. But now it seems to be progressing to where they don't know the meaning of meanings(Even when explained).

Another observation I've made from the last year is that Alot of people(not all) these days don't take most of what they say seriously. It seems some of them aren't completely aware of this, but alot of them are.

It is both amazing and scary how many adults(especially ages 30-47) do not understand the most basic social cues these days.

Now call me crazy, but wouldn't it make alot of sense to make as many things as possible LESS complicated, moving forward in time at this point.

Especially if it didn't need to be complicated or difficult in the first place.

Here's a good bodybuilding specific quote that I really like, " No one cares if you are training harder than you need to." - Peter Khatcherian

If there's something you don't need to do and don't want to do, then don't do it. Unless you still want to...

But if you find yourself doing things you don't need to do AND don't want to do, I hope you realize that doesn't make sense. 

Your Perception may be Deception.

I saw a tiktok video of a guy telling people not to do reverse curls(sounded like he meant permanently lol) and just do regular grip, but he had like no brachialis and barely any brachioradialis development. Every other part of his arms were developed though...

It never ceases to amaze me..

When people I pretty much know nothing about(aside from how they look), give me that stupid ass look like: " He acts like he doesn't even know us or something.." lol

People of today be like, " And how would accurate information help us exactly?"

I don't know if you've noticed, but most people's relationship and/or perception with/of Time is extremely skewed these days.

Of course these people can look and know what time it is at almost anytime. But as far as awareness of how long they've been doing something, or how long they've been wasting time on something or saying something, there's pretty much none. 

Ever seen someone who is always complaining they don't have enough time(even though they realistically do) to get simple stuff done, yet they are the same person who intentionally(unknowingly in a way?) wastes their own time getting simple stuff done, over, and over, and over again, some times for literally years. And I'm not even talking about a lazy or slacker type person.

That is crazy to me personally. Because the amount of time they spend complaining pretty much equals the amount of time they waste getting whatever it is done lol, When they already know how to do it!. I mean it can be funny but not after like years... I just witnessed this behavior again today.

People remember something, when we all(you, me, everyone) step into the gym today... We are ALL "athletes".

And it doesn't matter if it's true or NOT. Hope that helps.
