In this episode, I discuss how to view the basics of training and nutrition in terms of numbers, using Archimedes of Syracuse as an example. I also discuss the importance of having a set progression plan in regards to training and diet, and why you should not let your feelings dictate that.

00:00:00.000 Greetings, true friends. Today we're gonna admire how massive I am.
00:00:30.000 Rather 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.
00:00:55.000 Now, if you take the glorious pill, you had heard the science and history. If you're a beta-leftist, you had heard the feelings.
00:01:03.240 Now, 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.
00:01:14.220 He 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
00:01:24.240 and 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,
00:01:34.580 but 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.
00:01:41.260 Now, let's begin with the strength training itself. Keep in mind, mathematics is good. Feelings are bad in this example.
00:01:49.820 So, 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?
00:01:57.980 No. As I said, disregard sensations and feelings and go look strictly at the mathematics side of things.
00:02:04.220 So, if you have 5x5 bench press at 100kg, that is your beginning. Now, what is a good session for your next session?
00:02:15.540 Yeah, 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.
00:02:24.900 And this is also one of the reasons I don't like CrossFit, because it's basically,
00:02:28.400 Oh, you know, now I feel tired. Now I wore myself out. No, but you have to have a set mathematical plan, as it were,
00:02:36.120 which you adhere to, so that you know for a fact that you became stronger.
00:02:42.000 It isn't enough that you feel that you've gotten stronger. You have to know exactly that you have gotten stronger.
00:02:48.020 And you do that via having, you know, a set progression plan, whatever it might be.
00:02:52.100 It might just be that you have increased one repetition on each set, on each exercise.
00:02:57.280 It can be all of these sorts of things, but you have to know exactly what you're doing.
00:03:01.620 So, you don't let, you know, your feelings dictate that, because feelings are unreliable.
00:03:08.320 And now, let's switch to dietary part. You have either a really skinny guy who says like,
00:03:12.980 Oh, you know, I eat so much every day. And then I say, Okay, but show me how much do you eat?
00:03:18.800 Like, write down exactly what you eat. Because if you only go with a feeling of eating much,
00:03:24.140 then you will probably not eat as much, because your body is used to eating like here,
00:03:29.200 and then you start eating there, and it feels like you're full all the time,
00:03:32.540 where you actually need to be up here caloric-wise to make sufficient gains.
00:03:37.440 So, never trust your feelings.
00:03:39.720 Same thing with a really, really fat person who says like,
00:03:42.340 Oh, you know why I ate so little today?
00:03:44.400 And then you ask like, Okay, but write down and tell me exactly what you ate.
00:03:48.420 And there will be like huge amounts of food that they've actually eaten,
00:03:52.460 because humans are extremely bad at self-estimating what they've actually eaten.
00:03:57.800 So, if you keep that mathematic point of view in mind that,
00:04:02.320 Oh, you know, it doesn't matter that I feel that I've eaten a lot of protein today.
00:04:06.860 No, write down exactly how much protein you've had.
00:04:09.920 For me, it's about 160 grams.
00:04:12.300 Now, I've been at it for so long, so I basically know what adds up to what.
00:04:16.000 But in the beginning, yes, you need to measure a bit.
00:04:19.560 You need to learn to calculate these things,
00:04:21.820 so you know in the future that I need this amount.
00:04:24.440 So, you don't go with feelings of stuff.
00:04:27.180 So, to conclude this little perspective video,
00:04:30.580 in regards to training, have a set plan, adhere to that.
00:04:33.940 Don't let your feelings dictate how well a workout went,
00:04:37.240 because the feelings are completely irrelevant.
00:04:39.980 What is relevant is that you've actually gotten stronger.
00:04:43.080 Same thing with your diet.
00:04:44.460 But how much do you eat?
00:04:46.540 Are you sure that you're actually getting in the sufficient needs for your body?
00:04:52.180 So, view it in mathematical terms.
00:04:54.740 Who am I?
00:04:55.600 The glorious lion.
