Why the conflict? Well, the mens renaissance of the last ten years has made men take a long hard look at themselves and decide that change is essential especially when staying the same for so long seemed as antiquated as padded doublets and ornamented codpieces. Time and society don't stay the same and they appear to be moving quicker than ever before. While keeping updated has its angsts, if you're going to choose to be in areas of forward social relevance, then staying updated could be the disparity factor between success and failure. So the conflict ushers in when in trying to update the padded doublets with weighted reps and protein shakes, a lot of mens clothing seems to be shrinking too fast to adequately cover our codpieces. What's a man to do when he wants to feel great about exercise and stamina but also look comfortable in a suit?
You may have thought that here's is where I would lunge into a diatribe about where to buy fuller cut mens clothing but, like I said, the modern man knows that tailoring is key to anything quality and off the rack nowadays. Further, since all men's goals in the gym are different let me attack this from a nutrition standpoint. What I've discovered (in my old age) is that exercising, brain function and energy levels mean nothing without a honed diet. Thusly, your diet, exercising, stamina depends on proper rest and recovery to give your body (and waistline) an impartial fresh start. It's all a full circle cycle that in these time of dietary, organic and GMO mayhem depends on what you decide to put in your mouth. Essentially, if you want to stay progressive and keep your clothing options as open as possible then maybe try a smoothie instead of a sweet roll.
So some days I only want bulk to be on the weight rack and not on my plate. With that said, juicing, souping, blending and smoothing are ways in which I confidently keep my belt on the same notch for all of my sun-up to sun-down, eat while commuting and too tired to cook days. I rely on my Nutri Ninja with Auto IQ™ to create protein smoothies for the ride to work, make comfort soups for the evenings I don't want a sink full of dirty pots & pans and for the naughty days where frozen margaritas make a long day exhale. What throwing a bevy of key ingredients into my Nutri Ninja does is allow me to get the sustenance that I need without the bulk. There's no bulk for my stomach to churn through and no tremendous bulk to let soak in the sink afterwards. Liquifying the bulk without discarding the often overlooked nutrients lost in just juicing is key here. I turn my sides into delicious soups for dinner and make all those essential fruits and greens into smoothies for breakfast. Also, with Nutri Ninja's Auto IQ™ feature I can better control the consistency of my end product depending on if it needs to be chunkier, smoother, coarser or watery. Control may be the key word here; control what you eat for better control over what you can wear.
