How does this guy sleep 4 hours a day, smokes all day, eats KFC and looks better than 99.9% of people?

Thread on the Tate physique.
First of all, genetics and past training.
We don't like to talk about genetics, but genetics are very real.
You can spend your entire life trying to break the world record on the 100m run, but it ain't happening.
So yes, Tate has a genetic advantage.

Let's get this out of the way.
That being said, your genetics are not set.
You can do many things to drastically affect them.
Our genes are not written in stone.
They are very sensitive to how we treat them to the point that even our diet changes how our genes work.

So, if you did not win the genetic lotto, focus on the inputs you give your body and it WILL change.
Gene wise, the most important factors in order to positively affect them are:
1. Vitamin A
2. B vitamins
3. Zinc
4. Magnesium
5. Stress reduction
6. Saturated fats

What you should also absolutely avoid in order not to fu-ck up your genes even further are vegetable/seed oils, pesticides, herbicides, EMF, sodium fluoride and xenoestrogens.
These are the things that damage generational health at an unimaginable level.

Let's talk about Tate's past now.
I'm close to turning 30 and i see that the dudes who did not put in the work in their 20s are a mess.
They have to put in 4 times the work a younger guy has to put in order to build strength and athletic performance in general BUT the dudes

They have to put in 4 times the work a younger guy has to put in order to build strength and athletic performance in general BUT the dudes
who PUT in the work in their 20s, can maintain solid athleticism and strength with just 2 hours of work in the gym and 2-3 hours of fighting every week.
So, Tate has built a solid foundation that allows him to not have to train like an elite athlete 24/7 and still maintain a

good physical performance.
Never forget that even winning one, ONE, world title in ANY combat sports requires excruciating daily training for years.
So do not ignore the years that he spent training 24/7.

Moving on to something some people will also not want to talk about.
He's around women, driving exotic cars and he is competing all day.
Too many people wonder why they have testosterone problems when they are never around women and work 9-5s.

Why should your body make optimal testosterone levels if you're not around women and working a desk job?
Is there any reason for your body to pump optimal levels of testosterone instead of the bare minimum to keep you alive?

So, our lifestyle affects our hormones and our hormones affect our performance.
He's also out in the sun all day.
Don't get this wrong.
Sun has an extremely anabolic effect and has been proven to be more effective than many ste-roids.

This little thing can make a massive difference since even 1 hour of sun can increase testosterone levels up to even 200%.
He's not eating all day.
Even though this can be harmful, Tate only eats i think 1-2 meals a day.

Even though this can be harmful, Tate only eats i think 1-2 meals a day.
So based on his lifestyle, he REALLY needs to eat a huge amount of calories in order to get fat.
It's almost impossible.
Now fasting like this on a daily basis will jack you up long term, so i recommend sticking to 3 meals a day.

The last piece of the puzzle is that he fu-cking trains. He's not a slob.
I can not possibly know how Tate trains for fighting but i might be able to kind of guess how he works out in the "gym" for lack of a better term.

Tateβs big on training frequently, bodyweight movements, explosiveness and endurance.
So, here's what i propose for someone that kind of wants a similar physique (fighting performance is another thing for another thread).
I propose a 4 days on and a 1-2 days off split.

Now depending on how much you fight, you might want to tweak this in a 3 days a week split or a 6 days a week split with very low volume.
So these are the basics of how Tate is able to have that kind of physical performance for so many years.

Last note: Since i'm not 15, IDGAF about 99% of the things Tate does.
I'm not pro Tate or against Tate.
I'm IDGAF about it and just laugh with the memes.
Is this OK?
@travsteward also wrote a very good thread about him yesterday and you should check it out*
