WE LIKE TO MAKE THINGS MORE DIFFICULT THAN WHAT THEY REALLY ARE..


Things are more simple than what we think. They truly are, we just like to makes things difficult for ourselves. For some unexplainable reason, it makes us feel better. We like to believe that we have achieved more by making our lives difficult than by sticking to the old basic rules which actually work best most of the time.
The best example is through the diet and training.

Most youngsters that come up to me, shit I said youngsters, maybe I am getting old and wiser  Anyway some of these kids come up to me all stressed out about their diet and training telling me some crazy-ass combos. Sometimes I can’t help but laugh because I was like that once so in a way I understand them. But what I tend to do is sit and explain to them that everything needs a balance; training, diet and life in general otherwise everything falls apart.

In terms of your diet, you should always add protein carbs and fat in your meals and adjust them throughout the day. Morning should have more carbs, that goes for the post-workout meal and towards the end of the day, limit your carbs intake and add more veggies and same more good fats. It’s pretty simple really. And make sure you always listen to your body. If you are hungry, just eat, don’t wait that extra hour because its written down but don’t go crazy, remember keep that balance!

As for the training, I am a firm believer in strong compound movements for the ladies and of course for the guys. But don’t go crazy, keep in form, push yourself to your limits but don’t injure yourself at the same time. To be honest, I like to go a bit crazy every couple of weeks and ‘think’ out of the box and do same intense reps and sets just to shock the body, but even then I keep a balance. I do it for a week then switch back to the type of training I was doing before.

As for my supplements, it’s also pretty straight forward. When I hear the youngsters tell me what they take, I hear some crazy shit, sometimes they need a good 15mins to tell me what is in their cabinet and I need to go home and research most of the new stuff they have because I have never heard of it. What we shouldn’t lose sight of is the fact that we never stop learning; no matter how much of an expert you are in your field, there is always room to learn and take in more knowledge. You’ll actually be surprised to know that sometimes you can learn so much even from a person who hasn’t been in the game for so long! So sometimes just a back seat, listen and learn!

At the end of the day, Rome wasn’t built in a day. The same applies to reaching your goals; you have to be patient and more importantly focused. That six-pack unfortunately won’t form over night. That’s why the trick to reaching your goals is believing in yourself and never give up no matter what anyone says. Be consistent, train like a dog in the gym but at the same time remember to have a positive and humble outlook on life and I guarantee you the rewards will come your way. The sky is the limit so aim as high as you can and want!

Hey dude,

Do you have an approximate calorie and macro breakdown for that daily meal plan, and do you change it up on rest days?

Thanks

Firstly thank you for your comment and sorry for such a delay in answering.....
My daily calorie intake is approximately
3000-3200calories per day

400 gram protein 50%
360 grams carbohydrates 40%
35 grams fats 10%

I try and stick to the same diet on training day and rest days also but of course same days due to work or something unplanned i might skip a meal but that doesnt happen very often.

This is a rough diet plan of the diet following for the
past 8 weeks.
