Brian Shaw is a great guy, both in competition and out of it

Has anyone seen this "Snake Diet"?

Haven't. What is it?

He’s a little over the top. FYI.

Way over the top lol

Put his ego aside, the plan has benefits. Especially if you’re over weight or need to detox.

interesting

My wife and I had an argument last night. And I found myself stress eating today. Any tips on how to avoid that?

Bad food will only make you feel worse. Overeating will only make you feel worse. Setting back your own goals will only make you feel worse. When you already feel bad, don't make yourself feel worse. Eat some good food, train hard, and stick to your goals and you will only have the argument to worry about. Overeat and binge and don't train and now you have added more stress to your plate. Stay strong and make up with your wife.

Rgr. Will do

@Felden - CO yeah man that’s a tough one. It’s hard not to turn to our vices in situations like that. It may be that the best course is to come here and vent and let us slap you on the back and keep your head in the game.

Is keto really as useless as some people say it is? I've been doing it for about a week and I've already lost weight, I've still been going to the gym and haven't sensed any loss in strength, and even my acne seems to be clearing up.

The first time I tried keto was the first time I cut, so I'm not sure if there was any particular benefit or not. But I mean, It definitely worked

We made up, and I grilled her steaks.

@Felden - CO Glad to hear it brother.

When I’m stressed, I try to take it out on an exercise. I love bicycling because I can get far away from my current “space” which helps mentally de-stress, plus let any frustration pump straight into the pedals.

I used to go on late night runs and would always zone out or fall in love with some good music. I definitely miss that. Lifting doesn't have the same effect - sometimes, but mostly not.

I find lifting when angry just makes me sore and angry.

Is there any reason I shouldn't drink beef broth?

maybe if you already have super high bp but i cant imagine you do

@Jacob go for bone broth.

👆🏻

So, collagen peptides amiright?

Anyone have any ideas on how I can gain more weight? I’ve been drinking weight gainers and slamming down Denny’s Pancakes with eggs sausage and hash browns for 2 weeks with little growth in my weight. Just curious if there’s anything else I can do. For perspective I’m 5’7 123.8 lbs and did wrestling for practically all my life.

get vertical

train smarter

If you don't have good training then it's going to be alot less optimal

Also consistency is key, don't hop around programs too much

I tend to follow my days very closely and I workout out 6 times a week.

And "get vertical" is in reference to stan efferding's vertical diet

I was just about to ask what that meant 😂

you don't have to follow it to the tee, but the principles of it are golden

I see

You aren't eating enough bruv

Hardgainers are a myth

😎

Denny's pancakes w/ a loaded breakfast platter is a mere snack for me.
