I don't get the grind mindset at all - look at me! Be like me! Bust ass 24/7, hustle hustle hustle, sleep is for losers, carbs are for losers, relationships that aren't profitable are for losers...... it's all worth it though so you can be on vacation in some exotic place like me!!!........... (and not even be able to put work down for one second to enjoy your fucking drink and be oblivious of the views you worked for) Like who thinks this sounds awesome except 15 year old boys?
That’s literally the target demographic. You answered your own question.
5 years ago I would have agreed with you but I now know several adult men in this sphere...
Some would argue they are still 15yo boys in mindset.
Ha! I stopped at 12 and avoided that shit.
Mentally speaking…
Awww, they're growing up!
Last I heard, everyone is twelve.
Fuck, that knowyourmeme page has some funny examples
Andrew Tate basically crystalized this whole thing... by pretending he was Morpheus from the Matrix.
His solution to 'escape the Matrix'... was to be the most diehard bluepill imaginable.
Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
Pretending they're Morpheus when they're all just Cyphers.
The low quality of this gif combined with me never watching the Matrix left me confused for a little bit
No one who actually works out properly say this, it's the exact opposite. You need a ton of carbs if you work out
Idk, I work out a lot and have done pretty well on low carb. I would gas if I did, like, a crossfit workout. But my top end power and all day endurance were the same or better, and I had some really cut abs.
For myself, I found there was really no downside. Except no beer and pizza. So not worth it.
Sounds like you are a beginner or intermediate and never did a real bulk before. Once you reach a certain FFMI you can't really build more muscle mass without carbs
I've certainly never done a real bulk before. But I mostly train for strength, not hypertrophy, since my goal is rock climbing, not bodybuilding. So my reps in any of the big lifts have almost never gone over about 5
Are you kidding me? There's hundreds of young men everywhere that have no idea how to use a laptop or cigars, but love pools and fancy drinks. This is perfect for them.
You mean the Roblox machine?
Is it no longer the Nintendo?
What did carbs ever do to them? Those are necessary macronutrients and a good source of fast energy.
I’m not team low carb but it is the one macronutrient you don’t need. But you feel like shit without them. So
I've been low crab for a while now. Shit's expensive.
How come carbs are expensive?
Dried goods(pasta, rice, buckwheat, oats) and vegetables(potatoes, carrots) are one of the cheapest foods available. Potatoes being one of the most satiating foods as well.
Dont get me wrong, im not criticizing your choice. Just curious over the reasoning behind it.
Maybe they meant to say that being low carb is expensive because all they buy is protein?
Fair point, that would make more sense.
I meant to say crabs 🦀 are expensive. I would eat them every day but that is an expensive hobby around here.
I totally misread that one. Sry my bad.
Fair point, fats can easily replace it, but it still is rather useful for when quick bursts of energy are needed and the feeling part as well.
