It’s the day of the photoshoot
Over 12 weeks of gruelling workouts
Some of the toughest I’ve ever done
Suffered through some injuries
As well as stress, low energy
And dedicating 15+ hours a week to training
No I didn’t train that much but with travel and prep time
It took 3 hours out of my day
Was it worth it?
Yep, even before the shoot I know it’s been worth it
Anyway, Binge Eating
I’ll be doing lots of it today and tomorrow
And it will benefit me
How?
Because my body has been in a state of depletion for the last few weeks
Especially this week,
Water depletion and carb depletion has been horrendous
But now my body is primed to recover from that
And that means I’ll put on some extra muscle weight due to the extra cals
All because I’ve been lifting weights and provided I train tomorrow
When you see the pics you might wonder how much cardio I did
Very little
No running, no cycling, no swimming
None of the standard stuff you might expect
I went for the odd walk but nothing planned
My point here is the following
When you go very low calorie,
Which most people do even if it’s not on purpose
And don’t lift weights
All you are doing is priming your body to store fat as soon as you increase food again
That’s why weight lifting, the SF way
Is vital to getting lasting results
You’ll protect your body
And force your muscles to burn more of the food you eat
Which means you don’t need to go very low calorie
Can eat more and not restrict
And be fit and strong while looking great naked
Speaking of naked
I’m off to get oiled up (see no evil monkey face emoji)
Can’t offer you my results though
But I can offer you a place at SF Fitness

P.S. Cake, I get to eat cake today. That is all.
