A few years back ago I followed rules on nutrition to grow muscle, to burn fat, to change my physique. I never bent them, I always did what you are supposed to do. I never did too much cardio, I never skipped the perfect formula on the amount of carbs, protein etc to build or burn. I detested the fact that you are supposed to do one of the two, not at the same time. I never liked having off seasons. I did not like to feel chubby. And I felt embarrassed to say I am offseason when I only did two shows a year! I did not want to feel fat and chubby 340 days of the year and just look good on two days of the year when nobody was watching anyway except for the nearest and dearest ones... I wanted to be lean, defined, no extra layer of body fat which people like to call water retention that took away the impression of a nice physique. Water retention my behind, jesus, its called body fat. I did not like feeling thick and not see what was under the fat. I remember looking in the mirror and wondered why my arms were two sausages, yeah big, but not defined. I wanted tie ins between the shoulder and arm muscles and no fat on the inside of the elbow. I just did not know HOW to get that look. Well, not until I realized that my body had to be pushed harder. I had to bend the rules. I had to accept that I cannot be optimal for everything. I would have to do more cardio, skimp on recuperative carbs, decrease nutrient timing, rest less, train harder, lift more. I stopped trying to shy away from real hard dedication and work with the it should not be this hard or the this must be way too much. I just realized I had to walk 10 extra miles compared to most other people. Especially since I refused to take any short cuts that were all around me. No way. Id rather pay my dues and keep it than to get it fast and lose it. I realized I couldnt be too concerned with keeping all muscle or you will never be lean enough. What happened was I reached the level of condition I wanted. Because I stopped using common sense and just dug deeper. I trusted my body, I stopped being worried about losing muscle since I saw it was built naturally so it would stay there.. Some people email me and ask me if I was bigger before back in the days. More massive. No I was not. I was fatter some times, I was smaller muscle wise as well. I dont want to be just big, I want to be quality built. fighterdiet/paulines-fat-loss-pak
