If you were to go back in time & give yourself only 3 pieces of advice when it pertains to bodybuilding, fitness or just your overall fitness journey, what would they be and why?

1) stay off the scale, stay out of the mirror, who cares about the numbers whether it's on the plates, or the guy to the right of you, next of you, in front of you, or behind you, who cares about numbers.

2) truly, grasp and get a full understanding of the real true mechanisms of action with the mechanics with each and every single range of motion. Learn the mechanics.

3) Last but not least, this is a very most important piece, make the kitchen your habit, learn all your habits, learn your adjustments, your sensitivities, with adding and subtracting certain nutrients and knowing how your body responds. This will change over time, and again make your adjustments and adapt. Growth will come.
90% of the gains you make are in the kitchen not the gym.
Truly learn how to eat, what to eat and how to time certain and specific nutrients, as all of them will go down different pathways, and all of them will induce nutrition partitioning differently.

4) If there was a fourth, what I would do is tell myself stay away from those knuckleheads who used to be in my small circle, not a single one of us knew anything that we were doing we were too busy laughing at the older guys.
Posting numbers and eating cheeseburgers got us nowhere.

Brother, we don't have to be bodybuilders, we don't have to be monsters, this goes for every level for every human being that's ever getting involved in this lifestyle, whether it's fitness, whether it's for sports no matter what it is, just basic simple information that we wish we could have told ourselves.. But you bring up a lot of solid points man as always...❤️❤️❤️

I should have started earlier and stayed consistent and stuck with reliable sources instead of trying every new thing.

Oh man….no whey protein, no high stim supplements, focus on feeling the muscle not moving weight, eat ALOT more red meat and salt! Carbs only when you earned them…and dont focus on calories, focus on controlling Insulin because thats what manipulates body composition not a mythical unequatable calorie count
