    I don’t get the grind mindset at all - look at me! Be like me! Bust ass 24/7, hustle hustle hustle, sleep is for losers, carbs are for losers, relationships that aren’t profitable are for losers… it’s all worth it though so you can be on vacation in some exotic place like me!!!.. (and not even be able to put work down for one second to enjoy your fucking drink and be oblivious of the views you worked for) Like who thinks this sounds awesome except 15 year old boys?

      That’s literally the target demographic. You answered your own question.

      Relevant song from 2007, Hussel by M.I.A.:

      We do it cheap hide our money in a heap
      Send it home and make em study
      Fixing teeth, I got family, a friend in need
      A hand to throw the gasoline
      A mobile phone hooked up to the scene
      Hello my frind yes it’s me
      Dont be scared there’s somethin going on
      Im gettin money since I grown
      Could be dash go out and hussel em
      But I hate money coz it makes me numb

      Hussel hussel hussel
      Grind grind grind
      Why has everyone got hussel on their mind?

      [AFRIKAN BOY]
      You think its tough now,
      Come to africa,
      Out there we are grinding like pepper,
      You can catch me on the motorway,
      Selling sugar water and pepper,
      I rep Africa not Miami,
      Hustle hustle with m.i.a,
      I’m broke I’ve got indefinite stay,
      You can’t touch me like leprosy,
      I hustle tough from here to sri lanka,
      My mum told me to be an accountant,
      Bun that I wanna work in a corner shop,
      Contact sugu he’s got the contacts mayne,
      I’m illegal I don’t pay tax tax,
      EMA yes I’m claiming that that,
      Police I try to avoid them,
      They catch me hustling they say deport them,

      carbs are for losers

      No one who actually works out properly say this, it’s the exact opposite. You need a ton of carbs if you work out

        Idk, I work out a lot and have done pretty well on low carb. I would gas if I did, like, a crossfit workout. But my top end power and all day endurance were the same or better, and I had some really cut abs.

        For myself, I found there was really no downside. Except no beer and pizza. So not worth it.

          Sounds like you are a beginner or intermediate and never did a real bulk before. Once you reach a certain FFMI you can’t really build more muscle mass without carbs

            I’ve certainly never done a real bulk before. But I mostly train for strength, not hypertrophy, since my goal is rock climbing, not bodybuilding. So my reps in any of the big lifts have almost never gone over about 5

      Andrew Tate basically crystalized this whole thing… by pretending he was Morpheus from the Matrix.

      His solution to ‘escape the Matrix’… was to be the most diehard bluepill imaginable.

      Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.

      Are you kidding me? There’s hundreds of young men everywhere that have no idea how to use a laptop or cigars, but love pools and fancy drinks. This is perfect for them.
