A Maasai warrior looked at a bodybuilder and called him fat. He wasn’t wrong. Not exactly.
In this video I break down why “bulking and cutting” is one of the dumbest practices modern fitness has normalized - cycles of training, overeating, and then desperately trying to shed fat. What it does to your body is illustrated by the misadventures of Dr Mike Israetel, who (and I wish I were making this up) checked into a hotel after liposuction to remove fat handles he couldn’t lose, and then posted photos of his “coffee”-stained bedsheets for the world to see.
The real victims of bulking and cutting? The hotel maids.
But this isn’t just a roast. It’s a “fit for what?” question. I tell the story of a guy who got swept out to sea on a bodyboard. One who couldn’t swim and couldn’t save himself and what it actually took to get him back. Sprinting down a beach. Grabbing a board. Going out. Fitness. Not aesthetics. Not bulk. Function.
Muscle without purpose is just expensive “fat”. Let’s talk about what you should be building your body for.
