First, some updates.
26 Days Remaining: I'm eating more carbs while taking it a little easier in the gym. Weight gain is as expected; I'm at 181 lbs. Also, I finally got around to posting a workout video on Instagram. Fans have been asking and, honestly, between my training, eating schedule and meal prep, writing, atop the fear that footage of me pounding it out in the gym might break the Internet, I had to chip away at filming as time allowed. That said, check it out if you haven't already, but be sure to turn up the volume; the soundtrack is awesome! Now, onto the blog. |
Yesterday, as I was walking through a sports store, I overheard what is probably an all-too-frequent conversation:
"Dude, I've been doing what you told me to--working out, eating healthy, getting my sleep—but I'm still not as big as you."
"Brah, you've only been at it for two weeks."
I couldn't help but give the knucklehead Tommy Lee Jones's patented "Are you serious?" look as the following meme came to mind:

Okay, so two things:
- Rome wasn't built in a day: No one gains 30 lbs. overnight and, likewise, no one can lose 30 lbs. overnight. That said . . .
- Fat loss is much, much easier (and faster) than muscle growth. Therefore, it stands to reason . . .
There is a saying in bodybuilding, "Trust the process," which means as long as you are doing the work, consistently, then results will come; one merely needs to have patience.
