Tweetthis is now the THIRD time i've had a conversation like this in the last 4 years.
we have some temporarys at work and at lunch a young fellow came up to me and asked me if i trained. we started talking and he began telling me how frustrated he was with is lack of progress.
ME: how much protein do you eat in a day?
NEWBIE: i dont know.
ME: well the minimum everyone agrees on is 1 gram per pound of bodyweight.
NEWBIE: well, i weigh 142lbs so that would be 142 grams of protein. WOW! nobody can eat that much.
ME: how much water do you drink in a day?
NEWBIE: cant stand the lack of taste. but i do drink a 6pack of sprite each day. its the same thing as water, right?
ME: do you do squats and deadlifts?
NEWBIE: no, squats are too hard and i dont like deadlifts. but i do lunges and leg extensions. and i train my chest and my arms 3X a week. and i'm
taking cell tech and andro. i dont understand it. i should be huge by now.
i can remember when i was like this. i told him to show up at lunch tomorrow with a pen and paper.
