I have a buddy that I had to give some advice to about training. I had to show him some brutal honesty because I know that is what is best when it comes to fitness and bodybuilding. Plus I don't like to just tell someone what they want to hear I feel that telling someone the truth in my honest opinion will go a lot further than trying to think of what they might want to hear. But, either way he had told me that he is planning on trying to do a bodybuilding competition in the next year or so. He thinks that that is enough time to be stage ready. I had to explain to him that I have been lifting for over 20 years. I didn't get to where I am in a couple years. I am under 10% body fat and I feel that I still have a couple more years to go until I'm stage ready. He is over 30% body fat. He still parties, he doesn't know what counting calories is, he doesn't eat vegetables too much, since he works a lot most of his meals tend to be drive through fast food. What he does have going for him is that he has a pretty good home gym in his garage. He does have a good work ethic. He has no problem getting up early in the morning. I had to explain to him that this is something that I have dedicated my life to. You have to be willing to dedicate a lot of your time to everything from meal prep, training, sleep, time researching herbs, nutrition, supplements, medicine, various types of training, have all of the poses down. There is so much that goes into bodybuilding. He told me that a friend said it's just lifting weights and eating a lot and you get big. I wish it was that easy. I told him that it is good to set goals and just see where he can get before then. I never say anything is impossible because anyone is capable of anything. I just feel that a year or two is unrealistic for him. I would say 5 years dedication and he could be close to getting stage ready. What do you all think about this? Any feedback or advice for him would be greatly appreciated. 💪

Workout and a short run! Not bad…I know Blue is so tired tho! 😂
