Just when all this crap started to melt we get smacked in the face with another storm.
Just cause you’re stuck at home don’t go stuffin your face with shit the whole night. You don’t want to wake up tomorrow morning feeling like a fuckin slob from overeating. All that’s gonna do is give you more of a chance to pull a muscle, strain your back from the inflammatory foods or even worse, crap your pants while you’re shoveling. No one wants to shovel for hours with shit in their pants.
Eat something healthy tonight! Actually, don’t eat anything, I fear once you start eating you’re gonna go nuts and raid the cupboard till there’s nothing left but wrappers and empty boxes of cereal. So, starve yourself tonight. You’re probably not even hungry, you’re just eating cause you’re in the house watching TV.
Don’t make a mess of yourself. Don’t put yourself in the position to feel like guilty for another nonstop eating marathon.
As a matter of fact, do the exact opposite from what the news stations say to do and get rid of all the food in your house now so you’re not tempted at a weak moment later. News stations with their stupid advice. I saw they were at the shoprite in Plainview earlier today asking a woman what she bought in the grocery store.
Who the fuck cares what anyone bought at the grocery store!
She’s probably gonna lie about what she bought anyway, who’s gonna say, I bought Cupcakes, Funny Bones, Doritos, and 7 bottles of Pepsi, I’m all stocked up for one day. So stupid. They say stay off the roads so they can plow, why, is that gonna make a difference keeping the roads cleared? They did such a shitty job last time.
Whatever, just don’t eat till Wednesday.
See you on Tuesday

Attendance has been light at the gym. Is it the cold weather or are you just fuckin lazy?
How the fuck does one just not workout?
I don’t understand it. Don’t you feel like a fuckin mess not training?
If you are missing the gym does this mean you are eating poorly also?
The two usually go hand in hand.
Is this what you’re doing, stuffing your fuckin face with shit and not training?
I’ve never been one to plan, but this doesn’t sound like a good one.

Here’s why we use 90% as our training max.
Using your True 1RM is dangerous to train with, depending on sleep, stress, pain, and daily readiness your true 1RM changes.
Using you your True 1RM assumes you are Strong every day, you’re not, using 90% allows us to train hard every day even on bad days.
Using 90% allows you to keep form and range of motion instead of what maybe considered grindy and grimy reps.
Using 90% allows us to train consistently heavy without missing reps, or stalling from pushing to hard with a heavy weight.
Using 90% allows you to train heavy without frying your CNS.
Using 90% allows us to train longer and harder with less risk of injury.

We say, 70% of 90% instead of 60% of 100% because:
60% sounds like a light weight, not a weight that you will focus on technique and speed.
It’s psychological, using 60% encourages lazy reps, unnecessary pauses instead of focusing on moving well and respecting the weight.
With all of that said, most of you never find your True 1RM do to fear, being uncomfortable under the weight, not having a good day, or self-doubt or just plain laziness.
We sometimes use 100% based on how I judge everyone’s 1RM test.
If I see you guys doing less than you could have done on testing day, I’ll go with 100% of your max because you guys didn’t hit it.
If I see you actually struggling to get to your 1RM, I’ll go with 90%. So, this decision is purely based on your performance.
Strength is built in the 70-85% of your training max, not Singles.
This is why what you see most of is this range.
I hope this clears things up for you, and now you know when we do a 1RM to fuckin try hard so you will get the most out of your training.
Other than this, don’t ask me stupid questions.
What we have been taught is not true, there are stupid questions, this was not one of them.

Remember, we get stronger we build more muscle.
Lifting heavy preserves hard earned muscle and keeps your bones strong which is important as we age and some of us are fuckin old.
You don’t want to fall down, break your hip and die which often happens to old people.
THE MORE MUSCLE YOU BUILD, THE MORE CALORIES YOU BURN AT REST!!!
BUILDING MUSCLE IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAT DOING LONG GAY STINTS OF CARDIO.
Isn’t this what everyone is obsessed with, doing long cardio classes because they think that’s the only way to burn off that huge fuckin piece of cheesecake they had the night before?
This doesn’t work, you can eat well consistently and be ripped while training inconsistently.
You can do all the stupid long cardio classes you want, if you eat shit, you’re still gonna be a fat fuck.
YOU NEED TO EAT WELL, FUCKING PERIOD!!!
