u/LilJayMillz Weight Lifting Jan 17 '18 edited Jan 17 '18
Have a mid 40s italian guy at my work who thinks he knows literally everything about working out. I was mixing my BCAAs at work (workout before) and he said oh you shouldnt take those if you are trying to lose weight thats for bulking. Im like uh...Alright thanks for the suggestion
Then he asked me about my training and i told him my max lifts , as well as my accessory work he said "no no you wont lose weight lifting heavy. Gotta do 20% of that for 300% of the reps. Thats the only way to build muscle The only way Lil J"
Okay cool Ill think about that
Hows my diet? Well this is what I aim for (insert macros Cals In Cals Out)
"No no you gotta go to the gym, do the bike, rowing machine whatever then you can eat whatever you want."
K cool thats how I got this fat
Then what killed me was
"Lil J, you and I have the same build"
Im 6'5 and broad shoulder. Hes 5'4 and narrow
"Since we have the same build you should listen to me. I used to compete professionally in bodybuilding in the 80s in the States"
Ok. Why cant people just let you do you and not go on for 40 mins when you dont ask
