So when I get asked &#8220;how do you do it?&#8221; I simply tell them that it&#8217;s something that keeps me ready for the thing I love to do, Train. Training is the time I get to test myself, and push myself past any comfort levels to try an achieve something I am shooting for. With training, I am slowly building the physique I am trying to achieve. With no food, there is no training, with no training there is no physique. It&#8217;s a <strong>DISCIPLINE<\/strong> that everyone must learn, and for many they have troubles learning it. Honestly, to me, I feel those that have a hard time learning a discipline have had their hands held through many things in their lives, and were never tested to take on a hardship by themselves.<\/p>\n<p>So when I buy my food, take it home, season\/flavor it, start cooking it, then prep into individual meals, they all have a specific purpose. Their purpose is to make me feel good, energized, and ready to battle the weights during training. If I do not have the right amount of food\/fuel within my system before I train, the training will suffer (especially with the methods I use to break down the muscle tissue). There are times Id rather not train, and move the session back, until I get the required fuel within my system.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mvp-athletics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1655997_714173528623393_408993500_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-892\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mvp-athletics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1655997_714173528623393_408993500_n.jpg\" alt=\"1655997_714173528623393_408993500_n\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mvp-athletics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1655997_714173528623393_408993500_n.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mvp-athletics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1655997_714173528623393_408993500_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mvp-athletics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1655997_714173528623393_408993500_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mvp-athletics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1655997_714173528623393_408993500_n-450x450.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mvp-athletics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/923162_556698597704221_2023305681_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-891\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mvp-athletics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/923162_556698597704221_2023305681_n.jpg\" alt=\"923162_556698597704221_2023305681_n\" width=\"600\" height=\"475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mvp-athletics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/923162_556698597704221_2023305681_n.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.mvp-athletics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/923162_556698597704221_2023305681_n-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mvp-athletics.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/923162_556698597704221_2023305681_n-450x356.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also, eating healthy should be a BIG purpose in anyones life. If you eat garbage, you&#8217;ll end up looking\/feeling like garbage. I love how many people say that it&#8217;s expensive to eat healthy&#8230;BULLSHIT. That is complete lazy ass talk right there. Here <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mvp-athletics.com\/blog\/?p=738\"> WATCH THIS <\/a>video I made on budget bodybuilding shopping. You&#8217;ll get 6 meals per day (whole foods) and a great variety of different foods for $105 a week; expensive my ass. If you&#8217;re one of these people, stop making those excuses. It takes only about 1 hour to prep plenty of meals for a few days<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Start turning the mush into muscles&#8221; &#8211; Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kindergarden Cop<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s easy for me to keep focused on my nutrition because I made a purpose for it.
