Why You Should NEVER Ditch Egg Yolks
I had an interesting conversation yesterday. We were talking about food, eggs to be specific, and then he asked me if I ate the egg whites only. No. Never. Here's why you should eat your eggs WITH yolks πŸ‘‡: 1. Nutrient Powerhouse: Yolks are packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K. Plus, they're loaded with minerals like iron and zinc. Egg whites? They're just chillin' with some protein. πŸ¦Έβ€β™‚οΈ 2. Brain Food: Ever heard of choline? It's crucial for brain health, and guess what? Yolks are swimming in it! 🧠 3. Eye Love: Lutein and zeaxanthin in yolks are like sunglasses for your eyeballs. Protect those peepers! πŸ‘€ 4. Protein Party: Yeah, whites have protein, but yolks bring some to the table too. Why not double the fun? πŸ’ͺ 5. Flavor Town: Let's be real, egg whites taste like sad, rubbery nothing. Yolks are where the party's at! πŸ˜‹ So next time you're whipping up an omelet or scrambling some eggs, don't you dare reach for that carton of egg whites! Embrace the whole egg, my friends. Your taste buds (and your body) will thank you! πŸ™Œ Who's with me? Drop a 🍳 in the comments if you're Team Whole Egg! And tell me, what's your favorite way to enjoy eggs?

Road to 45CM arms
Hey Skool fam! I've got a little confession to make – throughout my entire fitness journey, I've always been that guy who leaves arms for last on upper body days. You know the drill: chest, back, shoulders, and then, if I had any gas left in the tank, I'd throw in some curls and tricep pushdowns. Sound familiar to anyone? I've decided to start my upper body workouts with arms. They are my main focus (as well as delts) to grow this bulk. My goal is to get 45cm arms. Normally I give the advice that you should start with compound exercises and THEN work your way to isolation movements. I still stand behind that for beginners, but since I'm lifting for +-8 years now, I'm trying different things. There's a good reason why I'll start with arms. The exercises you do first in your workout get the most stimulus. You're obviously fresh in the beginning of your workout. You're able to push yourself harder. So, by hitting arms when I'm fresh, I'm giving them the VIP treatment they deserve. I already was going ham on my biceps and triceps at the end of my workout. Now I'm going ham at it at the beginning. I'm excited to see how this change impacts my arm growth over the next few months. One downside is that I was struggling with back and chest since my arms were already fatiqued. πŸ˜‚ On the upside, that means that I really have to focus on moving the weight my chest/back instead of arms. Controlled weight > heavy ego lifting. Has anyone else tried prioritizing a lagging body part by training it first? What were your results? Let me know in the comments!

Muscle Mass and Food Intake
Hey everyone, I wanted to share an interesting question. One of my 1-on-1 coaching clients asked me recently: "Can you eat more food if you have more muscle mass?" The short answer is yes, you can generally eat more food if you have more muscle mass. Here's why: 1. Higher Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Muscle tissue is metabolically active, meaning it burns more calories at rest compared to fat tissue. The more muscle mass you have, the higher your BMR, which means you burn more calories throughout the day. 2. Increased energy needs: More muscle mass requires more energy to maintain and fuel, especially if you're physically active or engaging in strength training. 3. Greater nutrient demands: Muscles need protein and other nutrients for repair and growth, which can increase your overall nutritional requirements. However, it's important to note that this doesn't mean you should eat excessively. The amount of additional food you can consume depends on various factors, including your activity level, goals (muscle gain, maintenance, or fat loss), and overall health. If you're interested in learning more about nutrition and how it relates to your fitness goals, feel free to reach out for personalized advice! Stay healthy, Hidde
