    I've abused my body for as long as I've been on this planet, I can run a 3 minute mile ( would be quicker but I stop for a *** after 800 yards ). I do have a drink problem ( only got one mouth ) but can still swim the channel 3 times a week and furthermore don't have to get out for a p!ss despite being in my 60's.
    I appreciate my fitness routine may not be recognised by the so called experts but f*ck em it works for me.
    I'm in for a hip replacement next Monday so I've no doubt the above times will improve when I'm back to full fitness.

    Muscle doesn't require flavour and neither do you

    Well he doesn’t, but either way some people won’t like him as he offers detail and he’s not a ‘bro lifter’.

    Because he’s explaining something, if you already know how to do it then why bother watching?

    His grip technique for bicep curl for example, he explains exactly how to get the peak that 99% of bro lifters never manage to get.

    Tbh mate I think 70% of it's bullshit if you tear the muscle and eat right it'll grow back ..

    Cavemen didn't need all that **** and neither do I

    It's become so fashionable now the markets huge and that means there's a lot of bollocks out there

    One day don't eat the yolks which I ignored and low and behold now they say eat the yolks because they're packed with aminos.

    I can survive on only the bare ingredients nature provides in order to lift heavy objects and build muscle.

    Regardless though, it helps to use proper form. I’ve had injuries through bad form and now I can’t incline bench, I can only use dumb bells.

    Food wise, I don’t listen to PT’s I know what I can and can’t eat from being alive for 35 years.

    I agree I just think his videos make beginners feel like if they don't do everything exactly like he advises they are wasting their time completely . He's selling a product and that's a big reason why.

    Most are, but he gives a lot of good away for free. Everyone is different, but I prefer his style when it comes to intensity/overloading.

    Poliquin was the main man for programmes, his techniques worked better for me than anybody else’s.

    I always found roids do the trick best for me but I'm too scared to use them again, so I've settled for muscle fuel .

    First cycle I ran d bol to kickstart and test only cycle which lead me to jump on tren test and mast but it's not worth the hassle when you come off ... it provides a look you can't achieve naturally and it gets you down when you lose it.

    Reading all this fitness stuff has made me realise the error of my ways.
    I'm going to cut down to 79 Capstain full strength a day and only put two nips of Jack Daniels in me special brew.

    Start slow and build slowly. Better to do 10 reps a day for a year than 50 a day for a week.

    Make sure you enjoy exercise - put good music on or only watch your favourite bit of telly/radio when you’re working out.

    Have short term goals and long term goals and plan in advance what your reward will be if you make it. Don’t make food or booze a reward - splash cash on something you want and consider it an investment in your health.

    One technique is to put some cash in a savings bank every time you work out, and then spend it at the end of the year if you’ve hit your fitness/weight goal.

    This is in no way meant as advice, seek out one of those creepy failed PE teachers for that. This is a bitter rant

    Working out is a ****ing chore. I will never understand the level of psychopath required to do crossfit or multiple gym sessions a day.

    I started working out at 13, doing 6 hours a day (multiple different activities like rowing, cycling, weights) and overttaining to ****. I hated it. Meant I could eat whatever I wanted though, and that is all that type of ****ty exercise has ever been to me.

    Real men play sports (the only fun work out activity) and only use the gym to either get better at sports, or in their 30s to fit into their existing jeans so they don't have to fork out for an XL. Posing tossers talking about "mad gains" are just dicks who haven't figured out it's 2018, soon to be 2019, and ****ing Photoshop exists.

    Some great suggestions here! I do a upper /lower body split. Currently working to 4 days a week but I started at 3 days a week with a days rest in between. Each upper/lower body day for me is split between compound and isolation exercises. In my mind, compounds work multiple muscle groups and isolation works individuals. For an upper day, I do 1 compound for chest, back and shoulders (e.g bench press, deadlift and shoulder press) and then an isolation for each group (e.g dumbell fly). Then chuck in some arm work! I kept it simple at first (4 sets for compounds and 3 for isolation) and then work to gradual progression! Diet doesn't need to be too strict! I cut back on booze and process food where I can and try to cook most meals. Someone suggested porridge for breakfast which is great with blueberries (antitox) peanut butter and Chua seeds (healthy fats) and then some honey for flavour. For other meals, I like using white meats (e.g chicken) with plenty of veg (garlic, peppers and tomatoes are my main ones) in stir fries etc. Pheeeeeew

    All you keep fit f*ckers could learn a thing or two from my springer spaniel. He's rolled in fox sh!t and badger carcasses since he was 6 months old, he's now thirteen and a half which relates to 94 in human years.
    On top of all the ***s I've smoked, pints I've supped, whores I've shagged and priests I've held hands with, I've followed his mantra.
    I may stink a bit but I'm still here, so I rest my case.
