You need to suffer more

If you have a goal you aspire to reach with your physique & you’re not getting there then usually the god-honest solution to your problems is that you need to suffer more. I’m tired of people acting like fucking wimps. I see it online constantly & I hear it in real life from people I know who like complaining that they’re too fat or too skinny or can’t stick to a diet & always have some excuse as to why. No matter what excuses you come up with the reality is usually that you need to suffer more

“I can’t hit my protein goal” (LOL) “I can’t lose weight” “I’m doing everything right but I’m not gaining muscle” 

> Just get down the fucking food > Eat less, be hungrier > Take steroids

Usually you actually know exactly what you need to be doing but you’re not willing to do it. It takes what it takes… it doesn’t matter if you’re already doing 90 minutes of cardio & eating 2000 calories & still don’t have the veins & striations you want. Eat less & do more cardio. Another thing that irks me is that people also like to have a lot of nerdy little debates about nutrition & diet & what’s optimal. IIFYM bro!! A calorie is a calorie! No, you know exactly what you need to be eating which is single ingredient food & not bullshit garbage that “fits into your macros.” The former just isn’t as dopamine inducing as the latter. Suffer more

Don’t even get me started on “moderation” and “having a balanced lifestyle” which a lot of you 🚬s on this sub have complained at me about. Let me say it again, you know what you need to be doing to reach your goals if you want a body that’s impressive. That doesn’t involve hours & hours of socializing & going out with your friends every weekend. “It’s just for tonight bro it won’t affect anything” yes it will. If every week or every 2 weeks you chose to spend a weekend drinking & having fun instead of doing what you were supposed to be doing, in 3 years the guy who didn’t do that is going to mog you. Small decisions compound. 

A lot of the time my entire day is doing shit I don’t want to do. 45 minutes on the walking pad before work. Get off work, train hard for 2 hours then go home for an hour, prep food for tomorrow & go to work again because one job isn’t enough to fund my lifestyle & pay the bills. Go home, immediately make meal 5 & 6 then sleep. More chicken breast & green beans than I’d prefer to eat. No time for socializing & having fun aka getting nothing done. It’s hard but I’ve been making decisions like that for years on end & it’s why I don’t look like the same species as myself from 3 years ago. 

When I say that I’m not trying to complain. No one’s holding a gun to my head & I undoubtedly enjoy the long term process of self improvement. But day to day it’s often not at all fun or enjoyable. It’s just hard work & suffering. Like I said, small decisions compound. You need to be able to act like an adult & make the harder decision or deprive yourself today so you can benefit from it in weeks, months or years. Doing this not only allows you to take yourself wherever you want to get physically but also builds a tremendous amount of character & it’s turning me into a grown man.
