Which is more difficult: losing weight or gaining muscle?
I’ve done both at different times so I have a pretty good perspective on this.Mentally, weight loss take the cake. When you have to lose weight, you are forced to make some major lifestyle changes. Bad habits are why we become overweight and breaking any bad habit takes much mental fortitude.Physically, building muscle is way harder.For starters, the actual workout has to be high intensity. Honestly it hurts, it burns, and you’re sore all the time. It’s a pretty uncomfortable physical thing. You can’t just go to the gym and throw weights around and come out with muscles, you have to really shock your muscles into growth and that means destroying them.And you have to repeat that process again and again and again and again. Muscle growth takes time. . . and a lot of it. Because it’s so much more dense than fat, it takes a lot of it before you can see growth in the mirror. You could work your ass off for months and, depending on your goal, it would only be the beginning of your journey.Eating for muscle growth is a job all by itself. Contrary to popular money driven beliefs, weight loss can be achieved by simply eating healthy (I’ve lost 70lbs by doing this myself). No special diets are necessary. Muscle on the other hand has to be fed correctly in order to grow. Maybe you get lucky with good genetics, but you’ll eventually be spinning your wheels if you don’t have the correct diet. For some this wall comes sooner than others.I will quote a young man who once described what it’s like when people tell him to back off the weights“Don’t get too big!!!”“BRUH I’ve been trying to get ‘too big’ for like 2 f**** years it ain’t easy like that s*** doesn’t magically happen”I’ve was lucky enough to experience both sides. When I was losing weight I couldn’t wait for the day when I could finally say “I did it.” Now, sometimes I miss the process of weight loss (I jokingly refer to it as “rookie gains”) but I enjoy the work ethic I have developed on the quest for muscle.The grass is always greener.
What is your opinion on Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s New Weight Loss Program for Inmates?
It’s a free gym membership for inmates in Maricopa County jail in Phoenix. Sheriff Joe Arpaio, often called “America’s Toughest Sheriff”, is working hard to help First Lady Michelle Obama with her anti-obesity initiative. For good cardiovascular health, a lower risk of heart disease, increased blood and oxygen flow, and overall weight loss, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has launched a program called, “Peddle Vision,” where inmates bicycle to create electricity that powers their television. The tv is there. Now all inmates need to do is power it and they can enjoy hours upon hours of The View. Too bad Lance Armstrong didn’t think of this first. Imagine the sales in workout videos and the benefit to the planet, which of course would be negated when everyone plugged the videos into their electricity-powered entertainment systems. You can’t win for losing. But Sheriff Arpaio is doing it. He’s a true humanitarian. He’s not only helping these inmates gain self-confidence and a better self-image while giving them a svelte self, he’s also doing his part for the planet. Ed Begley Jr. needs an “I Heart Sheriff Arpaio” t-shirt. Sheriff Arpaio hasn’t been well received in the media. TIME magazine has called him a “stern law-and-order advocate”, what his constituents have seen as a positive, who “has declared war on illegal immigration”. He’s also on ACLU’s short list of people they really don’t like. He doesn’t mind. He isn’t shy about enforcing the law, since that’s his job, and his constituents relying on him to keep them safe apparently love him. He’s won all his elections with double digits. “I will never back off from enforcing the laws of this county. They might as well get used to it. I am in this fight to stay,” he said on his website, SheriffJoe.org. Of course, his actions are completely unfounded, especially in Arizona. They don’t have any illegal immigration issues. Or crime because of it. A longtime rancher was killed on his Douglas-area property over the weekend, and neighbors worried that his homicide was connected to increasing border-related crime in the area. Nope. No reason for Sheriff Joe Arpaio to be concerned about the safety of his citizens. No reason at all. http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=5973
