00:00:00.000Greetings, true friends. Today we're gonna admire how massive I am.
00:00:30.000Rather glorious in all actuality. Okay, not only that, we're gonna talk a bit about the basics of bodybuilding and nutrition, and I'm gonna utilize a metaphor.
00:00:55.000Now, if you take the glorious pill, you had heard the science and history. If you're a beta-leftist, you had heard the feelings.
00:01:03.240Now, I'm gonna consult a true friend, Archimedes of Syracuse. Now, Archimedes of Syracuse was a Greek living in Magna Grecia in Syracuse, in Sicily.
00:01:14.220He was a mathematician and inventor. Now, I call upon the knowledge of this particular true friend is that I would like to give you the perspective of viewing bodybuilding
00:01:24.240and nutrition in terms of mathematics, as it were. So, if you view everything as numbers, perhaps it might sound a bit boring in the beginning,
00:01:34.580but it's a good thing to keep in mind and realize that this is just a basic video to get you to think in a certain way.
00:01:41.260Now, let's begin with the strength training itself. Keep in mind, mathematics is good. Feelings are bad in this example.
00:01:49.820So, you have a good session. How do you know if you have a good session? Is it because you feel tired? You feel worn out? You feel this and that?
00:01:57.980No. As I said, disregard sensations and feelings and go look strictly at the mathematics side of things.
00:02:04.220So, if you have 5x5 bench press at 100kg, that is your beginning. Now, what is a good session for your next session?
00:02:15.540Yeah, it can be 5x5 at 102.5kg. That is a good session for you. It's not enough that you feel worn out and tired.
00:02:24.900And this is also one of the reasons I don't like CrossFit, because it's basically,
00:02:28.400Oh, you know, now I feel tired. Now I wore myself out. No, but you have to have a set mathematical plan, as it were,
00:02:36.120which you adhere to, so that you know for a fact that you became stronger.
00:02:42.000It isn't enough that you feel that you've gotten stronger. You have to know exactly that you have gotten stronger.
00:02:48.020And you do that via having, you know, a set progression plan, whatever it might be.
00:02:52.100It might just be that you have increased one repetition on each set, on each exercise.
00:02:57.280It can be all of these sorts of things, but you have to know exactly what you're doing.
00:03:01.620So, you don't let, you know, your feelings dictate that, because feelings are unreliable.
00:03:08.320And now, let's switch to dietary part. You have either a really skinny guy who says like,
00:03:12.980Oh, you know, I eat so much every day. And then I say, Okay, but show me how much do you eat?
00:03:18.800Like, write down exactly what you eat. Because if you only go with a feeling of eating much,
00:03:24.140then you will probably not eat as much, because your body is used to eating like here,
00:03:29.200and then you start eating there, and it feels like you're full all the time,
00:03:32.540where you actually need to be up here caloric-wise to make sufficient gains.
