Robert Sikes | Natural Bodybuilder 💪

Just welcomed our second child, and I'm reminded how normalized the "dad bod" has become in our culture. Everywhere I look, there's this acceptance - even celebration - of fathers letting themselves go once kids arrive. I get it. Life gets busy. Priorities shift. Sleep becomes…

What if suffering isn’t misfortune, but instruction? Sometimes life breaks your body so it can awaken your soul. Not as punishment, but as precision. A divine intervention disguised as chaos. I discuss this and more with @ketosavage

Steak: - Bioavailable protein - Healthy fats - B vitamins, iron, zinc - The most delicious food on Earth Kale: - Minimal protein - No fat - Antinutrients like oxalates and goitrogens - Needs dressing to be edible Which one are you choosing?

Contrary to popular belief, getting more cows to graze on pasture is one of the best things we can do for the environment and for our health.

Modern diet advice has nothing to do with health and everything to do with marketing. Crisco paid off the American Heart Association to get the "heart healthy" label on seed oils Sugar companies paid off Harvard to put out bogus studies that demonized fat and minimized the…

We gave up steak and eggs for Cheerios We gave up butter for Crisco and margarine We gave up sunlight for blue light We gave up walking to the farmers market for Instacart And we wonder why we there's so much chronic disease and obesity?

The more I - eat fatty red meat - scarf down 5+ whole eggs in one sitting - cook with lots of butter - spend time in the sun The better I feel. Funny because this is the opposite of what most mainstream doctors would tell you to do 🤷

The gym sessions where you don't want to be there are the most important ones. You're not just building muscle - you're building the mental strength to do what needs to be done regardless of how you feel.

Building this competition has taught me things about the sport that competing never did. Every detail matters when you're creating a platform natural athletes deserve. It's been an amazing learning experience. The Natural State Savages will set a new standard. See y'all there!

Most people are afraid of failure. But in the gym, lifting to failure leads to the most growth. In business, failure teaches you lessons better than success ever could. Life isn't about avoiding failure, it's about growing from failure.

Indulge on some ZERO carb pancakes this weekend. Here's the recipe ⬇️ Ingredients: 2 whole eggs 4 oz ground beef 1/2 cup of cheese 2 tbsp oil (we used beef tallow and duck fat) 2 tbsp beef gelatin desired seasonings Directions: • Cook your 4 oz of ground beef and place in…

I absolutely love safety bar squats. Got 505 up for a couple of reps here and felt great. This is what working on the dad bod looks like for me.

Say no to granola bars, cereal and fruit juice. Say yes to fatty steaks, whole eggs, and putting obscene amounts of butter on everything. What would you add to this list?

Real food comes with natural portion control built in. Your body knows when to stop eating steak. It has no idea when to stop eating Pringles. That's not an accident.

They told us to avoid: - Saturated fat - Butter - Eggs - Red meat - Salt They told us to eat: - "heart healthy" seed oils - oatmeal - kale - 6-11 servings of grains per day - fat-free milk They lied to us.

The cowboy ribeye = a carnivore lollipop. Delicious!

Humans have been eating meat and eggs for 200,000 years. Processed breakfast cereals have only been around for the last 100 years. Guess which one doctors are worried about? The programming runs deep
