The reason you gain weight is because of a consistent calorie surplus over time.The reason you will lose weight is a consistent calorie deficit over time.The gym is to enhance your fitness in whatever way that's necessary.Goodnight

@kobe_boujee88 The reason people act right isn't always because they have sense. Many a time, it's also because they KNOW they will get CAUGHT and PUNISHED severely if they misbehave. In a nation where there seems to be no CONSEQUENCE accompanying misdemeanor, the people dare to do anything !

It's that time again.....

There's not a single exercise in the gym that burns fat. I'm saying this especially because it hurts me to see you pay gym membership just to go and focus so much on those burpees you have so much faith in.

There are thousands of exercises that boast of weight loss benefits,but here's the thing they all have in common; they all work on a calorie deficit. Maybe that's why they aren't working for you. I don't make these rules

[joey.hps @unkle_joey]

No,you are not fat.Fat isn't even a state of being. What you are is overweight,and you need to hold yourself accountable to higher standards of your own wellbeing. The fact that there are clothes your size,doesn't make it ok to be overweight. I don't make these rules.

Your brain does not crave soda,your brain craves sugar. You consume soda because that's what YOU CHOOSE everyday,| CHOOSE pineapple. Yea,my brain will have it's way but i will have the means. If you choose whom you love,you can also choose what you eat. I don't make these rules.

[joey.hps @unkle_joey]

Some bridges need to be burned in order for you to prioritize your health,there is no point leaving any room that will cause you to relapse. Unhealthy habits need to be broken for good,quit the processed sugar and the excessive intake of fried foods. I do not make these rules

[joey.hps @unkle_joey]

Naturally occurring sugars from fruits,starchy veggies and whole carbs won't make you fat. These sources of natural sugars also have components that slow down how quickly sugar from them is digested,to prevent rapid blood sugar spikes. Eat your fruits! I do not make these rules

[joey.hps @unkle_joey]

They said NEVER to eat carbs past 7pm. Well,they don't know how active you are past 7pm because they never asked. They are not here to tailor your fitness plan to suit your lifestyle. Yea,dem boys that became trainers by virtue of their biceps. I don't make these rules

[joey.hps @unkle_joey]

The easiest part of being in the gym is the 'newbie phase' The entire experience is totally new to your muscles,practically anything and everything will get you evident results. Don't slack on this phase,everything else depends on it. I don't make these rules

[joey.hps @unkle_joey]

It isn't always about balance,sometimes you have to tip the scale. I would genuinely have concerns if i found you engaging in more aerobic activity than strength training if your goal is weight loss. Hit the weights bro,I do not make these rules.

[joey.hps @unkle_joey]

A short experiment

1. Check your current weight
2. Check your current body fat %
3. Stay away from processed sugar
4. Repeat steps 1 & 2 after 30 days
5. Repeat this cycle

I don't make these rules.

There are 42g of protein in one cup of red kidney beans. You can easily get 100g of protein from a little over two cups,but you also get about 240g of carbs. Are you looking for all those carbs? Apply moderation in everything you eat. I don't make these rules

[joey.hps @unkle_joey]

Find healthier options for foods you want to cut out,BEFORE cutting them out. You STILL have soda in your fridge because you haven't REPLACED it with freshly squeezed fruit juice. In any case,there should be more water in your fridge than beverages. I do not make these rules.

Your gender does not apply to your muscles. Happy Independence Day 🇬🇭

After they did multiple cyles and grew bucket sized arms,they posted a 'tutorial' video on IG showing us how to grow huge biceps. With a pair of 15- 20kg dumbbells,they convinced you that it was about the technique and not the weight. Well,what do i know?I don't make these rules

[joey.hps @unkle_joey]

Eat your protein right after working out,they said. Jeremy does not even workout,at what time should he eat his protein?Whether you train or not,eat your protein. Protein was made for man,not for the 'macho man.' I do not make these rules

[joey.hps @unkle_joey]

Training in fasted state?Enjoy your preworkout supplement. Gotta fuel up with real food?This is your plan,2-3h prior to gym
-
👉Fast digesting carbs: 1g per kg of body weight
👉Protein: 20-30g
👉Sleep on these,let your body tap from fat stores if needed
