00:00:00.000 Greetings, true friends, and greetings Molotorans.
00:00:23.240 This is a response video to Muscle and Magica's video regarding weighing yourself each and
00:00:30.720 every day.
00:00:31.720 I suggest you check out the video, it's quite a good video indeed, however, I have an opinion
00:00:38.080 to share here regarding weighing yourself every day.
00:00:41.680 And now, Muscle and Magica's video was, I think, primarily targeted at people looking
00:00:47.080 to lose weight, and in that case, I completely agree.
00:00:51.360 You could weigh yourself every day to, you know, see what adjustments you've done the
00:00:56.900 other day and to learn about the body more.
00:00:59.860 However, what I suggest for all bulk bras, which I suppose is the majority of my legionnaire
00:01:05.800 true friends, since I often say, like, get fucking massive, is that throw the scales out of your
00:01:15.600 homestead.
00:01:17.640 And the reason for me saying that is a lot of guys looking to get massive, they focus
00:01:21.740 on the wrong things.
00:01:23.180 They go onto the scale each and every day and say, like, fuck, I haven't grown, I haven't
00:01:27.140 put on any size.
00:01:29.900 And it creates a sort of unhealthy relationship with your own body and with your own weight.
00:01:37.180 The same thing if you're looking in the mirror each and every day, it can be, yes, for documentation
00:01:43.220 and for knowing your body, it can be a good thing, but it can also be detrimental.
00:01:48.060 So the reason I'm saying that a lot of bulk bras, like guys looking to get massive, should
00:01:53.340 throw out their scales is simply because then you're focusing on the weight that the scale
00:01:58.720 says and less on the weight that the dumbbells and the barbells say.
00:02:03.020 So the only thing that's important is, where are you at right now?
00:02:07.000 We're going to take an exercise.
00:02:09.320 Let's take barbell rows.
00:02:11.440 How strong are you and how much weight will you take the next session?
00:02:15.020 That is what's important.
00:02:16.620 Not how much more you will weigh, like body-wise, the next day.
00:02:20.940 Okay.
00:02:21.940 So the important thing is getting stronger progressively.
00:02:26.400 And I'm not saying that you need to be a powerlifter.
00:02:28.280 I'm saying that you should be stronger, that you should progress, that you should perhaps
00:02:32.260 take one extra repetition or an extra set.
00:02:35.940 There are loads of ways to progress.
00:02:37.720 And those are the things you need to look at.
00:02:40.440 So don't stare yourself blind at the scales because it will create this kind of unhealthy
00:02:45.820 relationship.
00:02:46.820 I've known plenty of guys, plenty of good friends of mine have been in that situation
00:02:52.280 and said like, God, I'm eating so much.
00:02:55.160 I don't gain weight.
00:02:57.420 And whenever a guy asks me this, I say the same thing.
00:03:01.080 Like, don't, don't look at the scales.
00:03:02.800 Don't, doesn't fucking matter.
00:03:04.100 The only thing that matters is that you are progressing in the main lifts over a long period
00:03:08.780 of time.
00:03:09.520 And then like how much you weigh isn't really important.
00:03:12.840 Like if you're looking at, you know, having an impressive physique or impressive lifts,
00:03:17.680 I mean, 200 kilo in the deadlifts is still 200 kilo in the deadlift regarding if you weigh
00:03:22.620 100 kilo or 80 kilo.
00:03:24.460 And I mean, you can have a really, really sick physique at 80 kilo as well.
00:03:28.600 So don't look too much at the scales.
00:03:30.940 And for reference, like I weighed around 100 kilo for a long time, but I still have a better
00:03:35.440 physique now and a lot stronger.
00:03:38.260 So don't stare yourself blind at the scale.
00:03:41.580 And this video was aimed at bulk bras per se.
00:03:44.420 If you're cutting, yeah, then it might be a good idea.
00:03:47.880 And I suggest that you look at Muslim Magica's video.
00:03:51.580 And now I want to show you how to kill a giant in Skyrim.
00:03:55.960 I will leave you with that.
00:03:57.660 And who am I?
00:04:00.920 I'm the juicy elf of wisdom.
00:04:03.260 X-X-O.
00:04:04.020 Boom.
00:04:08.260 Boom.
00:04:37.380 Boom.
00:04:37.660 Let's go.
00:05:07.660 Let's go.
