Why I Can’t Guarantee Quick Results
Posted on July 21, 2015
The reason I cannot guarantee quick results is simple. Because changing your body takes time. Losing fat in a healthy and a sustainable way takes time, effort and consistency. Sure, I could write schedules that get people shredded in a relatively short period of time, and it will work, for a very limited amount of time. A lot of coaches and trainers utilise this approach, fast results which then later on can be used to market their methods. What is more interesting however is how these individuals fare a few months after the crash diet is completed. A good example of this is the popular show Biggest Loser, where a lot of participants go on an completely unsustainable diet which works wonder to lose fat in the short term, but does not manage to keep it off in the long run. A lot of coaches work in the same way and in an industry such as the fitness industry you can be sure that there are a lot of really incompetent people ready to make a quick profit. A very sure sign they you should probably not work with someone is that they promise ‘fast results’. Fast results are not possible, simple as that, unless you are willing to compromise your health that is. And for me personally there is just not a chance that I put someone on a starvation diet to produce results, and I would obviously never make ‘illegal supplements’ a part of my work (as some people do in order to get those ‘fast results’).
With this said, I cannot promise fast results. However, what I can promise is sustainable results. You embark on a Marathon, not a quick sprint. It would be pointless for me to write a schedule (training or diet) which someone cannot follow.
I realise that this isn’t the smartest marketing concept: To not produce fast results. However, retaining customers beats getting new ones. Also, for me to have an ethos of honestly, I believe, will be beneficial in the long run.
Just for the sake of clarification, fast results can be sustainable in some rare cases, for example if someone is obese with a huge caloric intake, then rapid fat loss and a sustainable diet is actually possible, but those are the exceptions.
Furthermore fast results in regards to general well being can also be obtained via a new diet if you have previously had a bad relationship with food (as in having eaten in a very unhealthy manner).
To conclude. I do not promise fast results, but I do promise sustainable results.
Sunday Summary. Diet Plan. Facebook and YouTube.
Posted on July 19, 2015
As you might have noticed I haven’t uploaded a Sunday Summary in a while, which is clearly suboptimal, the reason however, is due to a visit to Germany and then Ireland. Alas with those explanations I will now up the uploading frequency on this glorious page! I will start next week with writing some introductory articles regarding the fundamentals of bodybuilding, strength and nutrition. 
A few words on my diet plans for the coming weeks! I have basically been maintaining a decent form over the last few weeks, now I will get a bit leaner in order to get some more cool photos taken whilst Summer is still here! The plan is quite straight forward. I intend to simply cut down on the traditional unclean food. I know it is an unpopular term to use but what I mean by it is simply things high in fat and high in carbohydrates at the same time. In addition to being a bit stricter I will eat a lot more salad to spice up the food and also help with the satiation. I will experiment with beans in the coming time, as they are both vegan and very satiating (low calories and decent protein).
Since last I wrote one of these summaries I have hit 13 000 subscribers on YouTube and also 7000 on Facebook. What is interesting about this is that I started my Facebook before the YouTube and had that as the main focus for a long time. However, due to Facebook’s somewhat greedy policies it is very hard to grow there unless you are willing to pay for it, which I am not. I want my following as organic as possible. Furthermore not all of my posts on Facebook reaches everyone who likes the page. So to you who reads this and are redirected from Facebook I salute and thank you, you saw my update because you have liked updates and pictures recently, and for that I thank you :-)!
With this said I will probably not get that many more followers on Facebook, this also has to do with the general decline of Facebook as a forum.
On the positive side I hope to reach 15 000 subscribers on YouTube soon enough anyway! Speaking of social media, the picture below is one from my Instagram, where I focus a bit more on training and the lolz/craic.
A few words on my training will end this summary.
Today’s session consisted of 4×4 deadlifts at 200 kg, the warmup to the first set consisted of 5x 70 kg, 5x 120 kg, 3x 170 kg. Contrary to the squats I personally don’t need to warm-up for quite as many sets in the deadlifts!
To top off the session I performed some benchpress 4 sets of 5 repetitions at 130 kg!
Tomorrow I will squat and overhead press! I will also train some MMA in the morning, which will be fun!
