I train strength 30 min/week, eat meat + Nutella from the jar, and got 30% stronger in 2 years. Comms pro proving men can build muscle without wasting time.

Why does no coffee-machine beat the Moccamaster on my kitchen counter?

In my life as an office rat I must've tried a triple digit number of high-end office coffee-machines. None of them come close to a Moccamaster worth 150 dollars.

Actually, most coffee from coffee-machines tastes awful. They give an aftertaste of rancid oil or soap. This is the case for every provider, any coffee bean, and does not seem to be affected by a guy coming over to clean the monstrosity.

I drink it anyway, obviously. I'm no snob.

But when I have to force down office-coffee to get my caffeine hit, I think of the Moccamaster at home, that makes good coffee... every time.

Anyway. Fascinating that "Techni Vorm", a word I've never heart uttered in a sentence is behind such a strong product name as "Moccamaster".

I got frame mogged in the elevator yesterday. I'll be fine.

Retardmaxxing is the intelligent/unintelligent choice when exposed to enough midwit memes.

The chances you are in the top percentile is low, you're most likely midwitting. Just mimic the bottom percentile and win.

@SamaHoole The bigger you get the less you should train.

[Sebastian Storvik @sebstorvik]

@adonispara Know the struggle. I drank a glass of olive oil daily to try to gain weight at one point.

In recent years I found out my bottle neck was recovery. So after I stagnated for years I finally started growing again after training less.

[Sebastian Storvik @sebstorvik]

@adonispara You wanted weight. With "not throwing up" as only unwanted side effect.

If you want muscle - and growth hormones are not an option – lift progressivly heavier and eat more meat.

Also, experiment to find your sweet spot for training/recovery.

[Sebastian Storvik @sebstorvik]

@LindyTasteful When food was food, and food was scarce, you could "just eat". Now that most food is detrimental you're often better off not eating it.

But I do agree that being too fragile about it appears as weakness.

@SamaHoole Exactly. How much higher are all other disease and health risks in people who completely avoid red meat?

[Sebastian Storvik @sebstorvik]

I stuff myself with meat, eat Nutella straight from the jar, and only train strength 30 minutes a week. Yet I gradually get more muscular the age of 32.

I'm not unique. I'm strategic.

I eat MORE to get lean.
I workout LESS to get strong.

This is 90 % of what makes my 90kg physique:

I eat animal based to get about 2 grams of protein per kg of bodyweight almost every day.

- This food naturally reduces appetite. = Less need for discipline.
- The protein is what builds and maintains my body. You cannot build and maintain a brick wall without bricks.

I train strength 30 minutes a week. This is 2 hours a month total to stimulate muscle growth in all my muscles.

- Done correctly this is all that's needed for strength and muscle gains. It can be taught. I don't like working out. I like the result.
- This gives me time and energy to live life. Sometimes it takes 14 days between sessions. Full flexibility - Zero discipline.

Can you succeed by doing way more volume? Yes, but why would you when you can get results in 30 minutes a week?

Can you succeed with diets keep you hungry? Sure, but the odds are not in your favour. Good luck beating your own survival instincts.

It's simple. You just need to be strategic.

[Sebastian Storvik @sebstorvik]

@ifixhearts Depends on what the purpose of the diet is, no?

[Sebastian Storvik @sebstorvik]

@SamaHoole Weird how this myth can survive Alex McDonald running 5 marathons in 5 consecutive days entirely fasted, and not braindead when he finished.

[Sebastian Storvik @sebstorvik]

If GLP-1s work for 4 out of 5 people, then a high protein diet would work for the same people.

[Sebastian Storvik @sebstorvik]

Most people undereat "real food" and therefore get no hormonal signal to stop their hunger. The result is that they overeat "bad food".

[Sebastian Storvik @sebstorvik]

I really hope there's a way to time-optimise conditioning training in the same way strength training can be reduced to 30 minutes a week.

[Sebastian Storvik @sebstorvik]

I was sceptical when I started training low volume. "Won't my muscles vanish when I do less?" Turns out they don't. In my program I only train chest once a month, a sum total of 2 sets on the muscle group – yet I get stronger, not weaker, between every session.

[Sebastian Storvik @sebstorvik]

@SamaHoole Agreed but most people eat to little. And eating slightly more than "optimal" is highly preferable to eating less than "optimal".
