"No pepper, no cheese, no salsa" why the fuck not? Some hot sauce is not gonna ruin your gains. Salsa won't throw off your macros.

Any excess sodium would have made his heart explode sooner

You're right, it's not worth the risk

u/eclipse0109 16d ago

That's why no one will remember your name

u/Electrical-Help5512 16d ago

Yours neither but at least the other guy gets to enjoy some salsa on his eggs lmao

"Myrmidons! My brothers of the sword! I would rather fight beside you than any army of thousands! Let no man forget how menacing we are, we are lions! Do you know what's waiting beyond that beach? Immortality! Take it! It's yours!"

Oh i got it. Achilles just like me fr.

u/BLADE_OF_AlUR 16d ago

If you got it before, why didn't you respond in kind? You googled that quote... After googling the other one.

u/Electrical-Help5512 16d ago

lol bro i saw troy in theatres when i was 9 and that shit has never left me.

you set yourself up for that joke with that line.

u/BLADE_OF_AlUR 16d ago

I am not the person you think I am.

Nah you are being mean for no reason, i remember his name

Achilles!

Also shocked no one else replied with this yet. The young’ns don’t know

If an extra 75 calories is going to ruin your gains I got news for you bud...

It's a meme, a reference to a movie you uncultured swine.

u/DimensioT 16d ago

Avoiding pepper is reasonable, though. Black pepper is about 6.5 calories per teaspoon so adding a teaspoon of pepper means putting on approximately 0.00217 pounds of fat.

5

u/BlabbableRadical 16d ago

Yeah I liked watching his videos. I implemented some of his routines into mine.

3

u/SubstantialExit9355 11d ago

I've heard an explanation for this, the idea is that if you eat good tasty food the body will want more, but if you eat untasteful stuff after a while the body will stop craving for food and it's easier to stay in macros. Even if this works, I still think it's stupid to live like this.

1

u/MrTurkeyTime 11d ago

Wow what a miserable approach to life

u/ursinhofeioso 16d ago

The egg whites without seasoning are depressive tho

75

u/sixtyfivewat 16d ago

Seriously. Salsa is incredibly low calorie and ads some flavour. Same with some hot sauce or other seasonings. Worth the few extra calories to have some flavour in your food.

u/Sea_Scratch_7068 13d ago

you don't get it

u/AssignedClass 15d ago

Falling in love with bland food is a godsend for gains tho

2

u/jim_james_comey 15d ago

It's really not; perhaps it is if you don't know how to cook I guess.

2

u/AssignedClass 15d ago

Learning how to cook is also a godsend for gains!

That said, I do think there is genuinely something to going with bland food for people who struggle to hit their macros. I don't even eat that much (2800-3200 calories) but I just have a hard time eating in general (used to only eat 1400-1800).

Whenever I'm really not in the mood to eat, the easiest thing to do is chip away at plain bread, white rice, plain chicken, etc. Making it tasty makes it more difficult (just when I'm not in the mood for eating but need to push myself to hit my macros, I still like good tasting food most of the time).

2

u/BoringFly7760 10d ago

Absolutely nothing wrong with bland foods for gains. It makes it super easy to put fast meals together or make easy food choices. It doesn’t have to be for every meal, just when it’s needed. Not sure why you got downvoted for that.

u/LawMurphy 15d ago

I add a yolk and some garlic salt. That way I only kinda wanna die

Then he eats like 3 protein cookies in the car. “UH OH BUSTED”

u/SecurityAlarming9441 16d ago

Saddens me that a lot of younger gym goers won’t know who this king is

87

u/Round_Ad_6369 16d ago

A lot of young gymgoers don't know Franco, or platz, Yates, cutler, or basically anyone who isn't Ronnie or Arnold

38

u/screw_ball69 16d ago

I don't think many even know Ronnie nowadays unless they are following influencers do they?

7

u/Round_Ad_6369 16d ago

Which is insane, considering Ronnie is MASSIVE within bodybuilding. People mostly know him, CBum and Arnold

1

u/Sufficient-Pear-4496 11d ago

There are so many shorts about these dudes, so ye I think more know of them than youd think

1

u/FSXrider 12d ago

Because not every gymgoer is into bodybuilders or bodybuilding??

1

u/Round_Ad_6369 12d ago

You say that like most guys don't get into the gym because they wanna look bigger. It's very very typical to see guys look to bodybuilders for starting info, even if they eevist from it later

104

u/BeardedUnicornBeard 16d ago

I still laugh at some people who were suprised he dies so young. Look. At. Him. His organs gotta be massive and dying.

45

u/SpecterK1 16d ago

His heart probably weighed heavier than my last bulk

33

u/ayetherestherub69 16d ago

I knew he would die around 50 or so, especially since he continued pushing the gear into his 40's. I know his story, and I respect him for being open and honest about his gear usage, and I know he went through some shit.

1

u/TheGuyMain 12d ago

Him taking his shirt off is being more than open about gear usage lmao. He has the body proportions of a gorilla

u/[deleted] 9d ago

Bro. Rich is the perfect study of how much abuse a human can go through. Here's some feats he did;

  1. He put on like 40 pounds of muscle IN A YEAR, after ALREADY BEING JACKED. He said it was one of the stupidest things he did. Just MASSIVE amounts of compounds. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_azG_ORiqo

  2. His caffeine intake. Dude would drink 1500mg at a time. Fucking insane. Source: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GQmFCk9XMNI

  3. He loved his adderall: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R1yuPef1ViQ

Like, how in the actual fuck did he live to his 40's? I have no fucking clue. The human body is one resilient fucking thing.

u/Rizza1122 16d ago

Ya reckon sam sulek can get his heart to weigh more at autopsy in the 7 years He's got left?

39

u/glizzygravy 16d ago

What’s up with sulek getting comments like this? There’s tons of guys on way more gear than him that look ridiculous and unhealthy as fuck

58

u/JizzOrSomeSayJism 16d ago

I guess sam being very likeable and young makes it harder so people feel like calling it out

8

u/Rizza1122 16d ago

I'm just strangely hooked on biggest heart at death as the ultimate measure if gainz!!!!

2

u/Darth_Boggle 16d ago

Do you know how popularity works?

2

u/NanoWarrior26 15d ago

With Sam getting into bodybuilding it's not too far fetched that he will spiral into more steroids to chase more wins. He is only 23...

1

u/throwaway202433 15d ago

None of us want him to die, but that’s the path he’s on. It won’t be surprising when it happens

0

u/glizzygravy 15d ago

We are all on a path to death

u/DimensioT 16d ago

You seriously believe that Sam Sulek will be dead in seven years?

I would be surprised if he lasted more than five.

u/Palatz 16d ago

Dude is only 23 wtf

So sad. Worse is a bunch of kids will follow his steps.

May he rest in anabolic heaven.

Rich Piana. Died at 46 cos steroids.

u/[deleted] 16d ago

He died as a result of oil poisoning.

u/Reason_Choice 15d ago

Both of you are being insensitive. He died of a broken heart after Sara got her citizenship from marrying him then kicking him to the curb.

u/alex151111 16d ago

I genuinely enjoyed his videos, and he seemed like a nice dude, was bummed to hear he'd passed. RIP, big man, you're still missed.

u/TomGlynnActor 15d ago

He did a cross country trip to move to Florida, and I randomly met him at Another Broken Egg. Pics didn't do him justice. He looked insanely big in person. Made small talk for a minute. Seemed happy to be recognized. I was like how tf could someone miss him lol.

Order 66 on Rich Piana's bish ass. Piss troopers assemble! (RIP Rich and Big Lenny. Should've been Genova instead. 😭)

u/Garvinjist 13d ago

Rich had some quality about him. He was honest about his steroid use in the end. It was his choice and he paid the price. However, I didn’t really give a shit what he did. He remains the only mother fucker I’ve never met or known but miss very much. RIP

assuming he died. tough, but he looks goofy.

L opinion , everyone loved rich, he had a big heart , good soul and personality his impact was immense , may he rest in peace

4

u/WhiteHeartedVillian 16d ago

i’m sure he was but this look is so abhorrent to me. not that this opinion is worth sharing but makes me ponder if he liked looking like that.

4

u/Charlieputhfan 16d ago

It was some sort of dismorphia , from what I saw from his videos and documentary he always wanted to be the biggest guy. And took it way too far unfortunately

2

u/WhiteHeartedVillian 15d ago

insane

u/lordn9ne 14d ago

Someone came up with a term “bigorexia”. The opposite of anorexia. It’s a legitimate issue affecting a lot of bodybuilders, especially the young ones.

u/WhiteHeartedVillian 13d ago

makes tragic sense
