I’m in the gym (when they’re open...) five days a week but I’m active seven days a week. In the gym or not I’m walking 25,000 steps and biking at least 36 km. Is that even intense anymore? Not for me, I’ve adapted to that point where I can do that. Would I advise a person new to athletics do anything close to what I…

I was listening to a podcast and this exact topic came up. What is interesting about physical fitness and lifting in particular is how fast you can advance. Take learning to play guitar after three years of consistent practice are you anywhere close to your full potential? No, no where close. You’re likely not even…

Not sure if you’re serious but I’ll treat this comment like it is. If your plan calls for three days at the gym, lots of powerlifters for example use a three-day plan, then those four rest days are part of the plan. Not going to the gym and recovering is consistency. Consistency is not just in the gym, it becomes a…

Pet Peeve Time: HGH is not anabolic nor is it a useful PED.
Pet Peeve #2: Most influencers are about 10% body fat not 5%. 5% is pro-bodybuilder stage lean. Its stupid lean and virtually impossible to maintain. 

It also really sucks because Insta especially is horrible for training advice for several reasons. First a lot of the Influencers don’t actually train that way, they train specifically for workouts that will get engagements. Second, influencers are mostly genetically gifted freaks who will progress even with…

Its crazy how much progress a person can make by just getting up and doing something consistent for a period of time. If you’re untrained you can quite literally quadruple your strength in a matter of months. That doesn’t even involve training optimally, you can just dick around and if you dick around consistently…

I don’t myself. But whenever I am outside I hold to the 6 feet rule and try to get more. Here in Toronto we’re going through a flare up but its a magnitude of order different then what is going on in some US and European cities. So I feel perfectly safe, especially if my area of the city that has had something like 35…

Its Whiggly what do you expect?

This builds into what I was talking about before. The amount of people who think you can eat anything and still lose weight because of insulin while doing keto is insane. The amount of misinformation on Calories in Calories out from folks who promote ketogenic diets is staggering. My response to keto/carnivor is…

Its insane how easy it is to make fiberous vegetables taste great with just a little spice. Another thing that people overlook, heat. If you like a little head adding just a bit of hot sauce to most things gives it a lot of flavour. 

For meat I have low food standards I find so I can get away with eating pretty bland meats. Since I discovered this I mostly just eat the cheapest, leanest meats I can, which tends to be fish and ham. Periodically I’ll get chicken but in Canada thanks to government policy its more expensive. Honestly, lots of days…

Just a reminder the cut of chicken matters a lot. Chicken thigh is super fatty hence why it tastes great while chicken breast is lean.

Hell for a lot of Americans switching the sources of meat can be game changing. If you eat lots of red meat shift to chicken breasts, fish, ham, and other lean meats while keeping the red meat as a treat. A single steak most people eat at a Steak House has perhaps 50 grams of fat on it. A lot of the meats people eat…

Ya this is a great point. I make really basic whole food dishes that most people are like “how do you eat that every day”. Well once you realize just a tiny bit of oil and good use of spices on broccoli and other fiberous vegetables makes them taste AMAZING then it becomes pretty damn easy to eat your broccoli. I am…

Since excess protein gets converted to glucose, and most keto folks are eating a ton of it, they aren’t even really getting low carbs.

Did you just No True Scotsman a diet?

For example, Atkins and keto are listed as two separate things (they’re arguably not)

33 year old child of the 90s who has cartridges that still works so ya trust me I know where you’re coming from. It was a hard realization as that was a justification I used in why I liked physical media too. However, over time I became desensitized to it. At least we own the hardware and when push comes to shove they…

You know that owning the disk doesn’t mean you own the game right? You’re still only buying a perpetual license to the game. Furthermore, delisting on the store doesn’t mean the game is deleted from your account. I have a few delisted games on steam and I can still download them from my account.

Funny enough in Canada where we have had $79.99 msrp which turns into $90.00 games for the past four years ALREADY cost is obviously a huge concern. Which is why digital is BETTER because Canada does not charge sales tax on digital goods. So I’m saving $10.00 of tax on a digital title.
