My thought process when getting lean and what it feels like during the last 4-6 weeks…
Not able to think as clearly due to carbs and calories getting lower
Sleep getting harder and harder to come by each night
Lifting becomes tougher but you still have to push heavy weight
Cardio feels like eternity
Lot of sacrifices to be made
But I’m addicted to seeing the daily improvements
Plus…
I love suffering and pushing myself
Sounds weird and it sucks in the moment, but when you look back after it’s all over…
These are the moments in life when you really find out what you’re made of as a man
Between all the wrestling/powerlifting cuts and cuts I’ve done with my physique, I’m all too familiar with either not eating or drinking for days at a time or restricting myself of certain food for long periods of time
It has taught me discipline like no other that has carried over into every other aspect of my life
Can’t be getting soft out here which is why I like to do hard shit
At the end of the day, I always tell myself “you signed up for this, embrace it”
No one feels sorry for you, shit let’s be real…no one truly gives a fuck about what you’re going through
You’re on your own
No one’s coming to save you, so suck it the fuck up and get it done
And then I tell myself to DBAP
The number one most important thing
