Thoughts about life, crap, training, and stuff.....

Avengers - Well I went and saw it.  It was beyond awesome.  I hate to even use awesome because it's not an apt enough word really.  Joss Whedon did some things with this film that should make every director in Hollywood take a step back, and ask themselves if they are working hard enough.

The film was full of comedy, however unlike most action films, the lines did not feel cheap or forced like you'd normally hear in action movies.  Also, rather than trying to make a plot that was clever or unique, he focused on what everyone came to see.  The characters.  And he managed to give each character equal screen time and attention.  No one character overshadowed the other.  No one character seemed more important or less important.  And even though a lot of time wasn't spent on character development (that's what each characters own movies were for) he was able to add more depth to each of them as the film went.

Can't talk enough about this movie and how fantastic it was.

Sometimes reality is far stranger than fiction.  Especially when it comes to women.

This week my buddy broke up with his girlfriend.  The reason, if you can get your head around this, is because he told her that guys like to bang hot chics.

I'm not joking.

Basically, this chic has a lot of guy "friends".  You know who you are.  Orbiters.  You are friends with some hot chic that says you guys are friends, but the truth is you want to bang her.  Let me say again that if the chic is attractive, you cannot be friends with her.  We all know this.  Stop pretending like "oh yeah, we can just be friends."  JFC......no, we can't be "just friends" with women we find attractive.  That makes you an orbiter, and everyone knows what you are doing.

I won't lie.  I hate you fuckers.  I hate orbiters.  I know some orbiters will read this, and from me to you....get a fucking life.

Get the fuck out of here with your friends bullshit!

If a girl puts you in the "we're just friends zone", just go away.  Seriously, the guys that are dating her know what you're doing, and fucking hate it, hate you, and wants to beat your face in.  Orbiters are men not suave enough to land the pussy.  You are desperate little fucking assholes who pray and hopes for a chance that somehow and someway this girl will throw pity on you then you get to date or bang her.  You are the definition of the beta male.  Either kill yourself, so we can thin the herd, or man the fuck up and stop "being friends" with chics.

Now with that out of the way.  This 24 year old dumbass, believed that all of these guys that she hung out with, really just wanted to be friends.  After a while, my buddy got tired of it, and told her what was up.  Well, truth is, he did what every guy does about this.

Namely, was a hypocrite and lied.

He tells her "of course guys and girls can be friends, I'm just friends with so-n-so."  But the fact is, he was orbiting (and yes I ripped him a new asshole over this) and then turning around and telling his own girl, that all these other guys wanted to bang her.  You can't have it both ways.

Let me give you some advice about this, fellas.  Always be honest about this shit.  Then you save yourself this particular headache.  You're a male.  You want to bang hot chics.  Just because you're dating a girl, she should understand that it doesn't mean you won't find other women attractive, or that if you were single, you would want to bang them.  This particular chic, didn't even understand that if my buddy were single, he'd want to be banging hot chics.  Yes, she is that ignorant, but he's partly to blame as well.  I mean, he's the one that established that lie by telling her shit like "well I'm not a walking erection, I don't want to just bang everything out there."

Lie.

And these kinds of lies are the things that will kill a relationship.  If your woman doesn't understand simple biology, find a fucking new one that comes with a working brain.  Because yours is not in possession of one.

Not to be clear, I'm not saying men can't be faithful.  We can.  But this girl didn't even understand that a SINGLE guy would want to be banging it out left and right with hot chics if he had the chance.  You can't fix stupid, I suppose.

And any guy that responds to this with "I have a life long friends that is attractive and I would never hit it" is either gay, a liar, or has no balls.  Fact.

Today is the last day of my less than 30 grabs of carbs a day.  I was supposed to go 1 more day, but I had to make a decision between 9 and 11 days (because I don't work out on the 10th day) so I did 9.  Nothing magical is going to happen tomorrow anyway.

Anytime I do super low carb it just reminds me of how much it sucks, how stupid it is, and the fact that you can't get big and fucking strong doing it.  And if you're a novice, a fat guy, or some guy that benches 245 or whatever, you don't count.  There is a reason why the biggest and strongest mother fuckers walking the earth don't eat this way when they are trying to get even bigger and stronger is because you can't retardely big and strong eating low fucking carb.  Because you know, carbs fucking fuel workouts, insulin is the strongest hormone in the body, and insulin is the fucking driver behind muscle tissue rebuilding.  Loading on carbs increases ATP storage, and more ATP means more contractile power.  More contractile power means you are fucking stronger, and you being fucking stronger means you get bigger.  More carbs also means more calories, and one big myth that still goes around is that you can get leaner and bigger at the same time.  No you fucking can't.  Growing lean muscle tissue absolutely requires a calorie surplus, and losing fat absolutely requires an energy deficit.  This is god damn fact.

Insulin increases MPS, which is the requirement for muscle growth.  You cannot fucking do this to any great extent in a carb depleted state.  There is a reason why bodybuilders use low carb diets to strip bodyfat, and then eat carbs like crazy in the offseason.

Eats whole pizzas before bed

Now once you throw anabolics into the mix, the rules do change a bit.  But not as much as you think.  Mainly, a guy on anabolics holds onto his mass much better dieting than a guy not on them.  But if you want to get bigger and stronger, forget Paleo and carb depleted diets.  Fucking eat carbs.  When I was doing the intermittent fasting diet, I was eating a shit ton of carbs, and once I acclimated to it a bit, I deadlifted 500x12 (almost 13), did dumbbell benches with the 140's for 12, and inclined 315x11.  Now 9 days into a fucking carb depleted state I could barely eek out 5 sets of 10 with 135 on upright rows last night.  It has nothing to do with "being a pussy" and everything to do with basic fucking physiology.

Insulin stimulates human skeletal muscle protein synthesis

"So why did you stop IF?"

Just didn't feel right with me.  I was drinking too much diet coke and other stimulates to make it through the 16 hour fast.

Truth is, the carb backloading approach kind of uses some similar ideas as IF (fasting until lunch) but then incorporates ideas I have had for some time, through trial and error.  Namely, if I had been eating lower carbs for a few days, and felt flat, I'd end up eating a shit ton of junk one night, wake up the next day looking leaner and without fail, would have a kick ass workout.  More anecdotal evidence for the win.

My plan of attack is to carb backload on all workout nights and one other night (Saturday) before my hardest workout of the week.  So 4 days of carbs, 3 days of basically 30 grams of carbs or less a day.  I can work with this.  I cannot fucking work with 30 grams of carbs a day or less, for even a god damned week.  Not when I'm trying to get stronger and more awesome.

So here's to ice cream and doughnuts tonight.  And hopefully some good workouts by the time the weekend rolls around.
