Get To Work Bicep!
So WTF is Mind Muscle Connection (MMC)?
Theory 1:
So I am told MMC can help with exercise, specifically when weight training, more specifically to assist with super sick awesome sweet gains. The idea being that when you lift a weight you are working on a primary muscle group, yet these are supported by a secondary muscle group (a bit like my belt supporting my trousers and my Buddha belly supporting my belt?...maybe?).
So when a bro is channeling poor MMC, their secondary muscle group is providing too much support for the primary muscle group, therefore hindering the aforementioned super sick awesome sweet gains.
In conclusion, by focusing your mind on the primary muscle group and visualizing the muscle fibers working together to lift that weight, the secondary muscle group will only work in a fashion as to stabilize the primaries meaning you WILL achieve super sick awesome sweet gains AND be super smug in knowing that you used (psudo)SCIENCE to prevail. BOOM! You are a real gym bro.
Ipso Facto, by the logic of the science behind MMC anything can be 'thought away' or 'thought gained' by MMC. Disease, addiction, erectile dysfunction?
Theory 2:
Bulls*it?
In other news this week....
I have to say that this week has gone much better than the last. The 'gains' have been sweeter, the runs have got easier yet the tuna and cottage cheese has got viler! A quick poll of my office reveled that people would rather eat out of a bin than eat cottage cheese. However to be respected in the international Bro-dom you have to eat cottage cheese, think of it as a membership criteria.
I did try cottage cheese and tuna fishcakes which I have say was a pretty good win. However they are not suitable for lunch due to the long preparation time.
I was shunned after my cottage cheese, tuna and sugar free toffee syrup experiment and Big Bad Joe's in office fish steaming did not go down well with the other staff.
Therefore, I welcome any suggestions to make cottage cheese taste better, answers on the back of a postcode (or in the comments will do).
Meal of the week
I do love to cook however it is now a challenge not to employ the Holy Trinity of Badness (Salt, Sugar and Fat - this trio when employed together is guaranteed pleasure on a fork! However think of them like Captain Planet's Planeteers, although rather than summoning the head of the Green Party, they give you a stroke instead).
I remember once making a dish for a pot luck night to which everyone who ate was like, "Man this is awesome! What is in it?" My reply being Cheese, Chilli, Meat, Seafood, Caramelized Onions With Brown Sugar and your weekly allowance of salt....your life span is now 2 years shorter....sorry :-S Also, Nitz, I put beef* in it, you are going to die two years younger and then come back as a fly. Sorry my Hindu friend. Bummer.
This week however I was very restrained (as much as I can be when I follow a recipe in that I get bored/inspired after the first ingredient and put everything else that was not in the recipe into the mix and none of the things that were). I made fresh lamb kebabs as an homage to the Classic 2am treat "The Doner Kebab." Thank you Nitz for the inspiration for this one, your years of dedication to the Atkins diet paid off :-P
In a nutshell:
1) Mix your lamb mince with the herbs/spices of your choice then add lemon juice
2) Compact the mix in bowel into a tight ball
3) Roll the mix out into a thin layer about the thickness of a slice of Doner (allowing for fat/water to escape from the meat)
4) Grill on the highest setting until browning then flip over
5) Flip back and forth returning to the grill until you have the consistency/grilled-ness (is that a word) to your liking (as long as it is cooked it's up to you! But don't give yourself food poisoning. If you do, you are an idiot!). I like it crispy at the edge.
6) Slice the cooked meat into strips with a Pizza knife Serve with flat-bread, salad, chips, whatever the hell you want!
7) Shovel it into your big gob, you deserve it bro after your sweet MMC this week.
Right, so that is it for today's post. I feel like I am forgetting something but I think that is enough rambling for now.
As always, the sick gains page has been updated, check them our here. Smashed it this week with a 2.4KG loss. I am feeling like a real gym bro now!

Thanks for reading my latest take on life!

P.S Big Bad Joe is not just a PT, he is a talented puppeteer too! Make of it what you will....
P.P.S *(star) - the dish did not really contain Beef Nitz! That was for comical exaggeration. Beside's such a good friend as you will be coming back as something glorious! Suggestions....?
