Please do not contact me unless you are serious and you have your funds ready

I have been understanding and tolerant for far too long. and frankly I’ve gotten sick and tired of people with no respect and no dignity who try to take advantage of that. I have had clients who told me that they were ready to do anything to lose the extra weight, they tried everything for years and it didn’t work and they are desperate… a couple of weeks later (and in 1 case, 2 days later) they decide that they want to call it quits. I have no problem with that, I don’t care if you want to quit or not… but don’t ask for a program, bother me with tons of questions, then take off without paying a fucking dime. I have been lenient to the degree of postponing fees for 3 months! Of course, after 3 months, it’s time for their next payment. So they have to pay for 6 months… so, they ask for another extension for 2 or 3 more months… in the end, when they’re done, I’m missing a 3 month payment. Fucking great. And I’ve had over 6 fucking clients ask for programs, ask to postpone payments for a month or two, bombard me with questions and annoy the shit out of me every goddamn day… then when the time comes to pay, they disappear… they reappear again after 2 or 3 more months after they can’t progress on the diet and training program I gave them and need to adjust and then they beg. I remind them of the payments they haven’t made, then they promise to pay for the outstanding fees and pay for the new program… the minute I change it… they disappear again. Fuck being nice and lenient. Before we even begin to talk, I will ask for the funds. The minute I see them in my account, we can start. Other than that, fuck off and don’t email me or IM me.
It amazes me how a lot of clients don’t pay and they quit easily because at the beginning, they told me that they tried everything and are willing to do whatever it takes. Then we agree on a program… we agree on payments… we agree on everything… and after a week, the program (beginner program) seems too hard and it’s unbearable. WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU EXPECT? Did you expect me to charge 1500 for 12 weeks so I can give you a program like this:

Meal 1
Pancakes and nutella

Meal 2
Big mac and ice cream

Meal 3
Caramel frapacino

Training
10 minutes of clapping

Meal 4
Chocolate bar and a diet coke

Supplements
Super duper magic pill that’ll make you eat anything and not move a muscle and burn all the fat off your body in 2 days.

Is that what you expect?
Funny thing is, most of them read my blog and know how I work things out. I’ve explained it many times.

Unlike the fad diets and shit you’ve been doing for the past god knows how many years, that gave you zero results… I actually make it work for you! But if you thought it would be fun and games, go fuck off. Ask any of my serious clients (even the advanced bodybuilders who thought they maxed out) about the results they got after signing up with me. Shono, Bandar, Othman, Tariq, Rashid, Abdulelah… just to name a few… don’t talk to me, talk to them.

And for the clients who don’t get satisfactory results and try to blame it on me… please, don’t insult my intelligence… most of you are from around these parts and I know the people you work with and hang out with… they tell me what you do. A lot of people who complain train at gyms that I know, and I know a lot of people who work out or train there, and don’t think I don’t ask about you. When I ask a trainer about how hard you’re training and he smiles and says “hehe… yeah… heh… he’s doing ok”…. What does that mean?

And please, if you know me personally… don’t fucking ask for a discount. You will only embarrass yourself. I don’t owe you a discount.

And just so we’re clear, I only do diets, training, supplementation, and monitoring. I don’t go to the fucking gym with you. Don’t make the same mistake that a dumb ass client of mine made where he called me at 11 pm while I was asleep and asked me “can you come to the gym at 6:30 tomorrow to show me how to do this exercise? I forgot how to do it”…. needless to say, I went ape shit on his ass. A mediocre trainer who’s only job is to meet you at the gym at a certain time and tell you “do 3 sets of this… now do sit ups on the boso ball… now jog for 30 minutes on the treadmill” will charge $50 per 1 hour session. Say 3 sessions per week… that’s around 2250 riyals per month… this is not including diet, discussion, supplements, or monitoring. I’m talking about a mediocre trainer here with a shit certificate, which he paid $200 for and probably read a brochure to pass the test. Yet still, people think I’m expensive. 1500 for 12 weeks is as cheap as fuck.
Let’s take online trainers for example… the good ones… one of them charged me $250 for a year… what did I get?

“50/20/30 protein/carbs/fats
2500 cals
500 cals per meal”

This was the weekly email I got… no food, no supps, no monitoring… no nothing… this is all.

Another trainer that charged me $1400 for 16 weeks of diet and monitoring only (no training or supps) said this:

“Meal 1, 3, 5
70 grams protein
50 grams carbs

Meal 2, 4, 6
70 grams of protein
30 grams of fat

We’ll see how it goes in 4 weeks “

Sometimes I spend 3 hours straight talking to 5 clients at a time on messenger… monitoring and recording everything… I don’t use a standard protocol… I look at each individual and see his needs and his schedule… and I only charge 1500… the least you can fucking do is pay the fucking fees on time. You think this is easy? I’d like to see you fucking try it, while working a 7-4 job 5 days a week, dieting, never missing a meal, never missing a work out, take care of your family, and attend to each client’s needs.


No more mister nice guy… I have promised myself that I will only take on 10 clients at a time because that’s what I can handle… now I have 12 clients, because some of them begged and told me they were desperate and serious… and I still haven’t smelled a goddamn penny from them.

Don’t fucking contact me unless you are serious and ready to pay.


That is all.

Don’t be mad, he’s only trying to give you some advice!

Why do people feel obligated to come up to you, although they don’t know you and it’s probably the first time they’ve seen you, and “give you advice” about something they have no business in?
What do I mean? Let me tell you… are you a smoker? If you are, you’d know what I mean. You go outside, you try to enjoy a cigarette, but 1 out of every 5 people who pass by feel the need to jump on your face and start lecturing you about smoking and how bad it is and shit like that. Most of them do it in a hostile way, thinking god will give them credit for what they’re doing…….. in 3, 2, 1…. The first thing you thought of is the Quranic verse that tells you to give other muslims advice. I had this discussion with a lot of people around me, after someone tried to lecture me about the evils of tobacco (the only thing he got was a funny look from me and “do you really think I don’t know that? I want to kill myself, kaifi!!”), and in the end, it seemed like I was at fault. “he’s just trying to give you some advice. God! Relax a little”… and shit like that… I just laid back, relaxed, look at the fat guy and said “ya5i, why don’t you take care of your health? Don’t you know that obesity will kill you? It only takes a little self control to watch what you eat… and it’s only human to exercise for an hour a day… why don’t you do that? And besides, do you know the odors all that junk food makes your body produce? Wallah, you’re not only hurting yourself, you’re hurting your whole family. And besides, I mean, do you think it really looks good to be that fat?”
Needless to say, I was given the “WHAT THE FUCK?!?!” look from everyone… then I said “see… that’s how I see it… I have no business telling this dude what to, or not to do! Why didn’t you look at that other guy that tried to give me advice, as you want to call it, the same way?”… I got the “no, this is different… it’s not his fault he’s overweight.”…
What I wanted to say was “it’s not my fault I smoke. God wants me to smoke”… but that would just open up a huge can of worms. So I just said ok, whatever!

I mind my own business, most of the time… I don’t remember if I ever stuck my nose in anyone else’s business… I don’t think I ever did… but I could be wrong… anyway, you don’t see me walking up to every fucking fat ass on the road and try to lecture him about his shit. So fuck off and don’t try to give me brotherly advice on how to quit smoking. I don’t want to quit. If I wanted to quit I would’ve. And that’s what I tell everyone. I just don’t want to! And by me smoking or whatever, I think that’s an obvious statement that “I want to smoke now, so fuck off”… but people are stupid. This applies to other things in general, not just smoking. But I’m just saying, is it acceptable to lecture every fat person I see about self control and shit like that? Is it? then why is it acceptable to lecture anyone else about something they do that hurts themselves and isn’t bothering anyone else? If I smoked inside a public place that does not allow smoking (like all fucking Saudis do at seef mall in Bahrain… fucking pricks) yes, I should be lectured, and actually kicked out of the mall. I don’t know why I mentioned that… had nothing to do with the subject… maybe it did… whatever…

Priority at the gym

You always hear me complaining about people hogging up the machines and benches at the gym, when they don’t even know how to train, they don’t have a goal, and they don’t even break a sweat by working out for 90 minutes. The way I see it is that serious trainers should have priority over those machines and benches and what not. Of course, people are going to say “who the hell do you think you are? They have every right to workout just as much as you do! You ass!”… they have a right to workout, but I have the priority. My wife was complaining that all these fat asses at the gym were hogging up the treadmills going 1 mile per week and burning a total of 2 calories in an hour while munching on a snickers bar, and she has to wait for 20-30 minutes for the manatee to get off the machine. I asked her why she didn’t call the fitness trainer and tell them to get the fuck off (they have a 20 minute time limit per session), she said she didn’t want to bother them because they were there first. Now, mere mortals can’t understand this concept of serious trainees should come first. And they think it’s unjust and wrong. Tell me, if you were going to the computer lab at the university, they only have, let’s say, 10 computers in the lab, and they’re all full. You have a paper you want to write and it’s due next week… you find that 8 of the 10 people occupying the computers are surfing the next, watching youtube videos, downloading music, checking out porn, and chatting on messenger… would you say “they came here first. They have the right to use those computers for as long as they want. I just have to wait because I came after them.”… fuck no. you’d go ape shit. Admit it! you’d go call the lab instructor or whatever and complain, and demand that he/she kicks them out of the lab because it’s for people who want to study and have actual work to do. Right? The same shit applies for people in the gym. Some people are going there (most of them) just to say that they go to a gym. They use every goddamn machine there is in the gym every goddamn day! And if you ask them “what muscle does this machine work?” they’d answer “ummm… ummm… the name of the machine is… ummm… lat pulldown? (reading it from the panel)… so I think it works your abs”… they go there to waste your time, and their time. I believe that they do not have a right to be there if they aren’t serious. This isn’t a fucking playground. You know how many times I’ve had to deal with ass holes in the gym… laying fucking yoga mats under the squat rack, hogging up the preacher curl machine even while resting and when you ask to squeeze a set in while he rests he says “no no… I have about 10 mintues to go here”, 1 smythe machine in the gym being hogged by two old asses where one of them thinks he’s benching 135 lbs but in reality he’s benching 60 lbs and his friend is barbell rowing 75 lbs as a spot, they do 6 alternating sets without giving anyone a chance to join in (3 people were waiting), and when they were done, they started doing incline presses and said “we only need around 20 more minutes”…
If this happened anywhere other than the gym, people would be outraged and they’d probably kill the guy who was causing all this shit… but since it’s a gym, and nobody wants to work out, and they’re happy to waste another 50 minutes of their time so that they could tell their friends “oh man, I did so much shit at the gym today… took me fucking 2 hours” and brag about how they work so hard in the gym yet they still look like a whale, no body wants to understand or even try to understand the priority system of a gym.


Fucking summer

I’m down to 2800 cals per day of fat and protein only (350 gr protein, 160 gr fat), doing only moderate intensity cardio for 40 minutes 7 times per week (twice on Sunday and Tuesday), only working out 3 days per week for about 30 minutes per session, and my metabolism is a son of a bitch!!! People at work are starting to ask me if I’m ok or if I have diabeeetus :) … it’s good in a way (burning a shitload of calories by doing nothing at all) and bad in the sense that I look like a sweaty pig all the time. Gonna do this for 3 weeks and then go down to 2500 cals with a higher carbohydrate intake. But the heat is just unbearable. We had a lot of dust coming in for 2 weeks… people were complaining but I loved it. no humidity and it keeps the temp down a bit… now it’s gone and it’s as hot as shit… 48 degrees C today… fucking hell!!! Either way, dust, no dust… I know I’m gonna get sick sometime soon… this is usually the time of year when I get hellish throat infections and crap. I’d better stock up on the anti biotics.

Building houses and crap



I recently received an email from a friend of mine that caught my eye. I will try my best to translate it accurately.

Most of this email is just plain lies. There are families who don’t have enough money to eat, but I won’t comment on that. Some of them are genuinely poor… with 12 kids. You know my views on that… some of them aren’t poor, but they don’t know how to manage their money, and the father spends 90% of the income on booze.
As for the college graduate who can’t find a job… Personally, I have never seen a college graduate who couldn’t find a job in this country, even if his major was Chemistry… the main problem is that some of the jobs low blow you on the salary. 4500 riyals for a college graduate is becoming the norm in most small time private companies. But to Saudis, they’d rather stay home, unemployed and get nothing, than working for 4500 riyals. They want to start out making 15,000 riyals as a supervisor, or else they won’t work. I have heard many stories about “I can’t find a job… I’ve tried… no one wants to hire me”… and when you ask their friends or relatives they say “he’s a retard, he had offers of 7000 riyals to work in another city, but he doesn’t want to. He wants to work for double that salary in an office that’s 5 minutes away from home”.

Now to the main issue I want to talk about here…. Building a house. In our culture, life consists of 3 phases:
1- get married
2- have as many children as you can within 5 years of marriage
3- build a house that you can’t afford

Due to natural disasters that happen on a regular basis her in Saudi, like volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, tsunamis… etc. Our houses have to be made out of concrete and steel. And I don’t know what it is about 1000 square meters or more, but I think if you buy a land any smaller than that, you’d go to hell.
With all the prices shooting up, you’d think we’d find alternatives to building these “bunkers” we call houses. But, no. we aren’t even looking. Ok, if you insist on building this cube that will protect you from weapons of mass destruction, why not build something small? Something you can afford?! NOOOO!!! Buying a 500 sq. meter land and building a bullet proof house on it will cost me 1.2-1.8 million riyals!! If I’m gonna spend that kind of money, I’d rather spend 3-4 million buying a 1200 sq. meter piece of land and build a bigger house!
And everyone tells you that if you get a loan from the bank, buy a piece of land and build a house starting today (at the age of 25-29) you will win on the long run. Yes, you will… If the only thing you have to pay for in life is your house. These people have no regard to other aspects of life. “you are paying 30,000 riyals per year as your rent! If you buy a house, you won’t have to pay rent, you just have to pay off your loan from the bank, and when you’re done, you own the house!! Yeah, you’ll pay off the debt in about 30-40 years… but, you will have to pay more than your current rent (about 50% more), and you won’t have money left to buy a new car, buy a car for your kid, pay for your kids private school fees, pay for his college tuition, travel… etc.
Most people who do this, and lead wonderful lives, and it doesn’t effect their daily life expenses… etc… are the same people who say “baba… I want a new BMW 745… the one I bought last month sucks… the color doesn’t match my eyes”…
Look at the majority… people always try to explain it as if it’s a perfect idea to take out a loan and buy a house at a young age… fact of the matter is… look at the vast majority… in debt and fucked up. Most people have a very hefty pay check, don’t even pay rent because they live with their parents, and manage to blow every last dime they have by the 20th day of the month. Look at the old guys (45+) who saved up a lot of money to buy their dream house… look at them now… go out and have a cigarette… how the hell does he look? Always looking down, pale, with his hand on his forehead… ask him what’s wrong?... “this fucking house… I’m gonna die from all the stress and from how much this shit is costing me… why does it have to be this way?”… and this is a man that didn’t take out a loan, saved up a mil or two and is building it from his own funds while getting paid nicely at the end of each month…
Get someone who has a fucked up pay check, takes out a loan from the bank, still has to pay rent because the house needs 2-3 years to be ready, and tell me he’s doing the right thing!... “yeah, but when it’s done, and he paid his debt, it’ll be his and he can do anything he wants with his money then!”…. “then” is too late. He will be 65-70 years old (if he doesn’t die and pass down his debt to his children), and his children would’ve never seen any “entertainment” in their lives.
You have to look at the big picture. To me? Well, I say save up your money, save up for your pension… when you retire, build a house with your own money… because when you retire, your kids will probably be employed at that time (if you aren’t the kind of person who wants 18 kids, and by the time you’re 60, you still have a 2 year old to take care of), some of them will be out of the house even, you can help out your sons or daughters if they are married and they want to live close by (if that’s what they want), you can build a small duplex or whatever… etc.
If you reach that age, and you haven’t saved up enough money to do any of this… you should thank god that you didn’t take out a loan from the bank and built a house… because if you can’t save up enough money after working a good job for 40 years, you won’t be able to pay off a house in 60 years.

Point is… don’t listen to people who don’t know what money is… you know “baba, pay for my vacation in London, and buy me a new car”… have a nice little talk with your self and work it out on paper first if this is what you want to do.
Besides, Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it as dumb as shit to buy a house or buy land and build a house when real estate and building materials are at an all time high?



Just another thing I want to talk about… again

The guy who delayed his marriage because of high prices… let me tell you something… if you don’t come from a rich family whose soul purpose in marriage is “my marriage was more expensive than yours!!! Na nana na naaaa naaa!!!... what? Who did I marry??? I don’t know… some relative… but the marriage is still better than what you had!!”… you don’t need to spend more than 30,000 riyals for EVERYTHING!!! And I mean everything. If you want a big fancy wedding, and you want to pay 100,000 riyals as a dowry… it’s up to you… but if you can’t afford it… you’re a fucking retard. If the girl insists that that’s what she wants… go find another girl, cuz this one obviously wants a wedding people would talk about, and not a husband who people will talk about.

You don’t have to make the wedding in a fancy hotel that costs 70,000 riyals for a one night booking. Let me tell you, 75% of the people who go are like “shit, I have to go to another wedding… I hope the food’s worth it.”… the best wedding I’ve ever been to (best is relative)… was in a wedding hall that costs 100-120K per night… and by best I mean “wow… nice chandeliers… where the fuck is the groom so I can shake his hand and get the fuck outta here”… to the groom and his family, it didn’t make a difference, because they were rich. But I know people who aren’t, who actually took a loan out from the bank to book the same place… 8 years later… they’re still paying off the loan.

It’s not stupid if you can drop down 200,000 riyals on a wedding and shit and it won’t make a difference in your 8 digit bank account… but if you only have 4 digits in your bank account and you want to pull off that kind of a wedding because you’re afraid of “what will people say???”… you are the ultimate retard.

Let me tell you something, and I say this from the heart. People don’t give a rat’s ass about you. If you were in trouble, they won’t help (a few, yes… majority, they’ll avoid you). No one ever likes a guy in debt who always asks for help… you can’t afford it, don’t do it. plain and simple. If you loved the girl so much and she loved you and all that… she wouldn’t be asking for this shit. But let’s face it… girls demand this because most women in Saudi Arabia don’t look for a “man!” … they look for something they never had… a big fancy wedding and being the center of attention.

Cancer and shit

I will say this once and for all...

shampoo does not cause cancer
food coloring does not cause cancer
lipstick with lead in it does not cause cancer
cell phones do not cause cancer
microwaving food does not cause cancer
reusing a plastic water bottle does not cancer cancer
dust particles in this fucking sand storm will not cause fucking cancer!!!!!


how many times do i have to get this through your heads?????

Most people will believe the emails they get about this shit even though they do not have any references except for "Dr. Horse Anus from the Mayo clinic revealed a new study that links drinking bull semen to colon cancer"... a 2 second search on Dr.Horse Anus will reveal that he is a ficticious character and that the whole thing is a hoax.

My sister said this to me:
" Even if it doesn't cause cancer, i'm still gonna take the precautions just incase. i won't lose anything by doing that. and even if it's not true, i'll still have the peace of mind that, if it were true, i protected myself."

well, bravo! well said... a lot of people have this logic... good for you... you will do anything to prevent cancer, even if it's made up... good for you... i respect that... but what if obesity caused cancer? would you do anything about it? probably not, because it actually takes some effort to get off your fat ass and exercise, and it'll take will power you can't buy at a store to go on a strict diet (strict meaning healthy, natural, unprocessed... that's strict for 99% of the population)... would you take precautions? would you lose the weight the right way? no... you won't cuz you're lazy! it's as easy as shit to use your cell phone and put it on your left ear instead of your right ear as the email says... it's as easy as shit to switch from pepsi to coke becasue the pig extract in pepsi will cause cancer... it's as easy as shit to say "fuck saran wrap" and not use it... it's as easy as shit to buy a new plastic water bottle instead of reusing your old one... it's as easy as shit to use another shade of lipstick cuz the one you're using causes cancer... but when it comes to the hard stuff, you'd rather get cancer than get off your lazy ass...
you're lucky obesity doesn't cause cancer... .............. wait... what's this?????? what do i have here???? could it be medical studies that prove obesity causes cancer??? it can't be!!!!! well, i'm sure it's not significant... let me check the numbers.... OH MY GOD!!!! HAAAAAHAHAHAHA

HERE ARE THE GODDAMNED STUDIES LINKING OBESITY TO DIFFERENT KINDS OF CANCER WITH REFERENCES!!! AND IT'S NOT JUST ANY LINK!!!! IT'S A HIGH FUCKING PERCENTAGE!!!!!!

from the US national institutes of health
http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/Risk/obesity

here's a summary...


What causes obesity?
Experts have concluded that the chief causes of obesity are a sedentary lifestyle and overconsumption of high-calorie food (4):

· Sedentary lifestyle—Researchers have found a strong correlation between lack of physical activity and obesity (4, 5).

· Diet—A diet high in calories and/or fat appears to be an important factor in obesity (6).

3. What have scientists learned about the relationship between obesity and cancer?


In 2001, experts concluded that cancers of the colon, breast (postmenopausal), endometrium (the lining of the uterus), kidney, and esophagus are associated with obesity. Some studies have also reported links between obesity and cancers of the gallbladder, ovaries, and pancreas (4).

Obesity and physical inactivity may account for 25 to 30 percent of several major cancers—colon, breast (postmenopausal), endometrial, kidney, and cancer of the esophagus (4).

Preventing weight gain can reduce the risk of many cancers. Experts recommend that people establish habits of healthy eating and physical activity early in life to prevent overweight and obesity. Those who are already overweight or obese are advised to avoid additional weight gain, and to lose weight through a low-calorie diet and exercise. Even a weight loss of only 5 to 10 percent of total weight can provide health benefits (4).


4. How many people get cancer by being overweight or obese? How many die?

In 2002, about 41,000 new cases of cancer in the United States were estimated to be due to obesity. This means that about 3.2 percent of all new cancers are linked to obesity (7).
A recent report estimated that, in the United States, 14 percent of deaths from cancer in men and 20 percent of deaths in women were due to overweight and obesity (8).


Read it!!!! READ IT!!!!!

and if you're saudi... well, you're in luck... cuz i have this statistic!!!!

This was a study done in saudi with regards to BMI and percentage of overweight people and obese people in 1997

http://www.kfshrc.edu.sa/annals/173/96-177.pdf

The prevalence of overweight,
i.e., BMI between 25-29.9 was higher in the males
compared to the females, while the reverse was true for
obesity, where 20.26% of the total female population was
obese compared to 13.05% of the total male population.


And guess what? We got fatter in 2007

The prevalence of overweight among male subjects was significantly higher than for female subjects (29% vs 27%). The prevalence of obesity among female subjects was significantly higher than for male subjects (24% vs 16%)

¼ of saudi women are obese. And ¼ are overweight.


Mariam, my wife, is 5’1 weighing 47 kilos with a 27 inch waist and she's very fit (weight trains, jogs, and diets)… I know a lot of women who are the same height, or even shorter that look like 5 mariams put together and they say “I weigh 52 kilos”… stop being in denial and stop thinking that you aren’t overweight or even obese because the guy or girl sitting next to you is fatter than you are!


now, what are you going to do about that? probably nothing....
so now it's a fact

FATASSISM CAUSES CANCER!!!!



On a lighter note

Songs

I pretty much wrapped up two songs with the lyrics and guitar riffs and i already know how the drum track should be... so it's a matter of buying a drum machine and programming the damn thing. Third song is almost done... lyrics are complete, and about 95% of the riffs and drum track is complete. the fourth and last song... well, i got ideas floating around, 50% of the lyrics are done, probably 75% of teh riffs are done, and i don't have a fucking clue on how the drums will go on this thing... so, hopefully when i get all my equipment set up (new computer, or digital multitrack recorder, drum machine, new guitar) it's just a matter of plugging everything up and recording. Around October or early Novermber inshallah they'll be up on the blog.


Fuds

ME HUNGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEE!!!! goddamn!!! I didn't go on the ratios i mentioned last week, but i went on 345 gr protein, 280 gr carbs, and 75 gr fat (around 3200 cals). i'm getting leaner, not losing any size, and i'm getting as hungry as fuck!!!!!! This is good... this is very good... I should've done this a long time ago... i don't care how slow i burn fat... eating like this, having a metabolism like this, having energy like this, and keeping all my size (and some people are swearing that i'm actually getting bigger) is what i'll do the next time i diet (march or april 2009 inshallah)...

Swimming and retardation

A lot of my friends, and people who ask stupid questions or try to explain to me how what their doing is the best thing to lose weight, say that they swim to lose weight... rational is "swimming is the best exercise ever. it moves all the muscles in your body, it tones you body, and it burns a ton of fat!... it's scientific fact... my mother said so." ... i can argue that taking a shower moves every muscle in your body. hence, take 4 showers per day and you'll be "toned" in no time.
anyway, in an olympic sized pool, the distance is 50 meters. so that's 100 meters per lap. 16 laps per mile... I want all the "swimmers" out there to grab a stop watch, do 16 laps, hit the stop button, and divide the time by 16. if you are averaging more than 90 seconds per lap, you aren't swimming. there are some fifth grade swimmers who can average 70 seconds per lap after completing 16 laps. these are children. let's see how the adults who think that swimming will make them look like a fitness model do.
I can tell you, in all certainty, that most people (the fat asses) who say that they swim for exercise burn less than 300 cals per hour. swim some laps for an hour... see how many laps you complete. i would cut my right nipple off if any of the people who think swimming will burn a 45 inch waist in no time average less than 3 minutes per lap. that's 20 laps per hour.



you are better off chugging 240 mg of ephedrine twice a day till you get a heart attack.
and yes, for the person out there who is saying "i'm sure he's talking about me", i am talking about you and you know who you are. you'd be lucky to average 7 minutes per lap, you fucking whale. ;)

Random stuffies



I always wonder about retards who say "I need to lose 20 lbs in 2 weeks" you say "umm.. no"... then they say "well, i know a friend that did it"... and the people who say "I hate life, it's not fair. why is losing weight so much harder than gaining weight!!!"...

first of all... it's not harder than gaining weight... actually, gaining weight could be harder sometimes... in most cases, it took your fat ass 3-5 years to gain an extra 50 lbs over your own body weight. How many friends do you have that were really thin back in high school... started gaining weight month by month during college (i'm talking like 1-2 lbs per month or so... something you wouldn't notice in a year period), and 5 years later, they look like a fat tub of lard???

the weight gain does not happen over night... it takes years... and guess what? WEIGHT LOSS HAPPENS MUCH FASTER THAN WEIGHT GAIN!!! If I asked you "how hard is it to lose 50 lbs in a 4 year span?"... you'd probably laugh and say "i can do this without even working hard for it or even dieting"... and then you look at the person and say "well, you gained 50 lbs in 7 years... and when i ask you about losing it in 4 years you say it's as easy as shit... why the hell do you complain about how hard it is to lose weight?"

out of every 100 people that you know who have tried fad diets, only 1 lost the weight and kept it off... that person is considered a statistical anomoly!!!! why do you base his/her results as the "norm that should happen"??

and then we have these celebrity diets and shit... look, what you read in a magazine about what a celebrity said they did to lose the weight or "look good"... total lie... and it's not even the celebrity that's commenting in that interview. If it's an interview on TV, and the celebrity says "i went on the special K diet", they are being paid by kellogs to say that. how fucking stupid can you be to believe what these numbskulls have to say? these people drink wheat grass for god's sake! WHEAT GRASS, PEOPLE! WHEAT FUCKING GRASS!





furthermore, please explain to me... i'm refering to the people who call me or email me asking general questions... why do you fucking ask me questions when:

1) you know what my answer will be

2) you just asked because you want to argue about how what you're doing is right, how you won't do what i tell you, and how you expect to repeat what you're doing with no results but miracelously get results because i said "fine, do what you want!"

As you all know, i give out general advice for free... so one of my friends calls me up and tells me his diet, which i told him was fucked up before, and tells me about his training, and i already told him he was overtraining. he told me that it's been 45 days since he'd seen any results... what should he do? I told him what he should change... then he argues and says "but the coach at the gym said not to change anything, and it will be too much if i do that.. blah blah blah..." in the end he said "well, do you think i should keep on doing what i'm doing?" ... i told him "yes, do it. don't change a thing. you should expect different results"... the dumbass didn't know that i was being sarcastic.





Have you been outside lately? I'm sorry, but i don't remember women looking like this... they have turned into big black blimps!!! what the fuck are they eating these days?





do you know what another name for a shit ton of fat all bunched up in one place without any muscle is? cellulites... rubbing horse semen on it won't get rid of it!!!! fucking sick and tired of reading about new lotions and therapy to get rid of cellulites. How do i explain anorexic looking people with cellulites on their ass and thighs? very low muscle mass and extremely high fat percentage. mostly due to fucking up on your diet when you lost all that weight and turned into paris hilton.

you know... some of my friends and clients don't get any results... is it because i'm a bad trainer? fuck no (well, modesty just went out the door here)... The walls have teeth, bitches! I know that a lot of them don't even do half of what i tell them. The 2 best clients i have are rashid and tarig. these guys will literally eat shit if i tell them to without even questioning me. their workouts are very hard and they actually give it their all. I have heard from people in various gyms that some of my clients workout for 90 minutes and don't even sweat. they do 45 mintues of supposedly high intensity cardio, and they don't sweat. and when i call them to ask about it, they say "i was pouring sweat man, it was so hard.. blah blah blah..."... and then they come and ask for an explanation about why they only lost 2 lbs in 4 weeks.

there will be a change of plans... i will not train 5 days a week, cuz the way i train, by monday i was overtrained. Yesterday and today, i feel like shit. no appetite, i can't sleep for shit, my body's emitting radiation... LOL... seriously, it's like a have a fever, but no fever... just heat... didn't take my chicken sandwiches with me today... just some whey and peanut butter... it's still sitting here in the office and i'ts almost 12... and i got a taste of what "normal" people who "don't waist their money on expensive bodybuilding food" go through. i bought some water, coffee, mango smoothie, a little cookie, cheese sandwich (yes, this is me when i'm not hungry)... and it all cost me 26 riyals... let's say i eat lunch for 15 riyals (the economy meal at the dinning hall) and i eat this crap everyday... so that's 41 riyals per day for lunch and a snack... 205 riyals per week for lunch and a snack... my whole grocery bill (for 3 solid meals per day, and other crap i need around the house) is less than 400 riyals per week. let's see, for a week i need:

4 packs of chicken breasts = 32 riyals

1 kilo cottage cheese = 15 riyals

6 liters of milk = 24 riyals

shit ton of bread = 10 riyals

3 dozen eggs = 42 riyals

jar of peanut butter = 12 riyals

1 box of flavored oats = 16 riyals

1 box of pop tarts = 11 riyals

for a whole week... shit costs me 162 riyals... add protein (costs 250 per tub, tub lasts a month, that's 4 weeks, that's 63 riyals), becomes 225 riyals per week... 225 riyals to eat 5-6 meals per day for 5 days... compare this to 205 riyals to each a shit snack and junk lunch 5 days per week... "oh, you're stupid, you spend all your money on stupid food"...

as i said, i will take a break from supplements, training, dieting... etc in ramadhan (september), October, and the first 2 weeks of november... i am 100% sure that i will go broke and lose half my money on food... and by food, i mean 2 junk meals per day and a snack here or there...

do you get my point?

anyway, will change my diet a bit... will be 3200 cals daily... 300 protein, 385 carbs, and 50 fat everyday... will cancel the chicken, add some whey instead (my brother got me a tub of protein for my birthday... so i guess i'll save up on not buying the ever so expensive chicken)... will train 3 days per week like when i started... and do cardio 5-7 times per week... 45 minutes of walking at around 3.5 mph...
