S01E04 Training Day 001

You don’t have to read all of this.

See how many zeros there are before that lonely “1” up there? That’s because I know a thing or two about having a bangin’ physique. I’m currently kinda fat, and I get winded super easily. So let’s just get that out of the way. I had a donut hole addiction for some time.

But I’ve been there. I was 7.16% bodyfat for most of my late 30’s. I started lifting when I was 22. My point in telling you that, is that it took 15 years of educating myself to get there. 

I had to learn how to train properly. How to lift heavy, and not injure myself. More than anything, I had to learn how to eat. All the performance enhancing drugs in the world won’t make you 7% bodyfat if your diet isn’t on point. Trust me, I’ve tried. Diet is everything. And this is more true the older you get.

And while I’m on this spiel, let me tell you the most important lesson of all when it comes to diet. It’s not about getting it 100% right and never cheating. It’s about getting it 90% right at least 90% of the time, FOR YEARS! It’s time that wins that race. Now here comes a rant. I see so many fat people denying themselves anything but lettuce and greens. Anything that might give them the actual calories they need to get where they are trying to go. And in one month when they don’t look like Jamie Eason, they totally relapse for about a month, maybe more. Then they pick up the salad tongs again.

While I’m really slaying dragons with this sermon, let me ask you all a question. Because I truly do not know the answer. Where did the idea that salad will make you look like a physique competitor come from? Eating salad will make you look like a GD vegan. Vegans don’t even look healthy, let alone like they slay dragons. So put down the tongs. Pick up a steak knife and eat like a lion. That’s what humans are. We’re predators. Our eyes face forward. They are not on the sides of your head, like a cow. So stop eating like a cow, unless you want to be one. 

If you want to look like a lean, mean, gazelle killing machine, then eat like one! Fast, then gorge on meat. Period.

And now I’ll tell you the most important fitness lesson you’re ever gonna hear. This is the gold that only the elderly bodybuilders know. Are you ready? Here it is: It’s only going to get harder and harder. The longer you sit there being the fat, less than what your significant other deserves piece of dying dreams, the harder and higher that bar is going to go. The more it becomes a dream and less of a reality, the harder it’s going to be to get out of the couch, over that damned full sized ottoman, and go do something to achieve those dreams.

You’re only getting older.

You’re only getting weaker.

Your endurance is withering.

Fasting won’t be easier on Monday.

You’re not going to get up at 4:30 and hit the gym. You’re sure as not going to eat right starting on Monday.

So go do it now.

Please share the show. Right now.
