style=\"text-align: center;\">from an ancestral background where<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">if we didn&#8217;t have that pleasure center response to sugars,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">we would not exist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">How could that be?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Think about it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">An infant, when an infant is suckling,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">when an infant is drinking breast milk,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">the only reason why that infant knows<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">that it should be drinking breast milk<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">is because of an HPA axis response.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">When a baby or an infant mammal of any type,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">has its first taste of milk,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">there are sugars in the milk, not much sugar,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">but there are sugars in that milk along with some fats<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">that really stimulate the HPA axis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Those pleasure centers fire up and because of it,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">the baby keeps on drinking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Now understand this, before the 20th century,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">and the advent of things like baby formulas,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">any human baby that didn&#8217;t have access<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">to human breast milk would perish.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There&#8217;s no other food that a human baby,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">a newborn human baby can consume. [In A Natural Environment]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">And so, for our very survival,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">we are hard wired with that attachment<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

style=\"text-align: center;\">And as the day goes by,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">those cravings get stronger and stronger and stronger.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">One of the best ways to help deal with those cravings<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">and not have sugary foods in your life<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">is to front load your carbohydrates earlier in the day,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">and front load was really high fiber carbohydrates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

personal favorites,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">that&#8217;s what I eat every day,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">along with some [lean] protein,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">it&#8217;s going to go a long way<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">because of the high fiber content to fill you up<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">and also because your body had carbohydrates<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">earlier in the day,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">you&#8217;re not going to have the same dramatic response<\/p>\n<p

style=\"text-align: center;\">that usually happens to most of us later in the day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So very important, like I said, first,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

style=\"text-align: center;\">but it&#8217;s important to understand that just like someone<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">who is dealing with a drug addiction,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">if you fail and keep on beating yourself up<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">about your failure,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">what you&#8217;re doing is you&#8217;re reliving

center;\">The way that you go forward is about forgetting about it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So the more you&#8217;re beating yourself up<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">is the more you&#8217;re actually unconsciously retaining<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">the experience and thus,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">making yourself more likely to repeat the experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">If you constantly think about that piece of cake<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">that you had and &#8220;messed up&#8221; with,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">that piece of cake is going to come back into your life<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">because you&#8217;re constantly thinking about it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">You need to forget, you need to let go, and letting go<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">means forgiving yourself when you &#8220;mess up&#8221;,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">get right back up and keep on going<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">and what&#8217;s going to happen, as well, is that<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

High Intensity Training.&lt;br&gt;\n&lt;br&gt;\nFirst leg workout of the year and already pushing it!&lt;br&gt;\n&lt;br&gt;\nI haven&#039;t done a stiff leg deadlift over 315lbs for about 3 years at this point, and I did my last set with 315lbs and comfortably got to 10 reps and decided I had far too much gas left in the tank and that I should go up in weight.&lt;br&gt;\n&lt;br&gt;\nSo I did.&lt;br&gt;\n&lt;br&gt;\nI figured I might get a solid 6 reps in, but I made it to 7 and I think I could have gone on to get a full 10 reps BUT that&#039;s when good judgement prevailed.&lt;br&gt;\n&lt;br&gt;\nAs a bodybuilder having not trained this heavy for so many years, the shock of this much weight would be more than enough to stimulate muscle growth, and doing more reps wouldn&#039;t yield any greater returns, only increase the likelihood of injury.&lt;br&gt;\n&lt;br&gt;\nIt&#039;s not about the numbers, it&#039;s about training to a point where you achieve your goal, and it&#039;s important to have a goal in mind as a bodybuilder based on increasing muscle mass rather than hitting a particular number.&lt;br&gt;\n&lt;br&gt;\nBesides, if in my 20&#039;s I never did more than 405lbs on a stiff leg deadlift, it doesn&#039;t make any sense going heavier than when I am almost 50!&lt;br&gt;\n&lt;br&gt;\nCould I deadlift more at this point?&lt;br&gt;\n&lt;br&gt;\nAbsolutely but just because you can doesn&#039;t mean you should!&lt;br&gt;\n&lt;br&gt;\nSo keep those weights in a good working range, keep it safe and as always Excelsior!!!
