WHAT THE F(IT)

A Comedic Odyssey into the World of Getting Ripped (Part 2)

1. Battle of the “No rep”

Why do some gym-goers insist on doing half-reps, like they're auditioning for a new dance move? It's as if they've discovered a secret shortcut to swole-ville, and the rest of us are just taking the long way around.

2. The Quest for the Perfect Selfie

In the age of Instagram, no workout is complete without a selfie. Some spend more time angling their camera than actually lifting weights. The lighting, the filters, the captions – it's a workout for the social media muscles.

3. The Protein Fart Epidemic

Ah, the less glamorous side of protein overload: the gas. Ever walked into a gym locker room and thought a chemical warfare experiment had taken place? Yeah, blame it on the protein shakes.

4. The "I Don't Skip Leg Day" Crew

We all know that one guy who brags about never skipping leg day. But when you see his chicken legs, you start to wonder if he's talking about a different kind of "leg day" involving chickens.

5. The Gym Buddies

Finally, we can't forget the gym buddies – the dynamic duos and trios who turn every workout into a comedy show. Spotting, cheering, and competing against each other, they give new meaning to the phrase "strength in numbers."

Now that we've had a hearty laugh at the hilarious world of gym buffoonery, it's time for some introspection. Which gym-goer archetype do you identify with? Are you the protein shake enthusiast, the fashion-forward flexer, or perhaps the gym buddy who turns every workout into a sitcom episode?

Regardless of your style, we all share a common goal: the pursuit of health and wellness.

When it comes to health and wellness, it's important to remember that there's no one-size-fits-all approach. What matters most is finding a routine that makes you feel good, both physically and mentally. Whether you're into bodybuilding, yoga, CrossFit, or simply going for a brisk walk in the park, the key is to stay active and enjoy the journey.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Lemon Garlic Roasted Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

• 2 lemons

• 4 cloves of garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, and then season them with salt and pepper.

3. Lemon Garlic Marinade: In a bowl, mix the juice of one lemon, minced garlic, olive oil, and dried thyme. You can also add a little lemon zest for extra flavor.

4. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the lemon garlic marinade over the chicken, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. For more flavor, you can marinate it longer, even overnight.

5. Roast the Chicken: Transfer the chicken thighs to a baking dish, skin side up. Squeeze the juice of the second lemon over the chicken. Pour any remaining marinade over them.

6. Bake: Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the skin is crispy and golden brown.

7. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

8. Serve: Plate your lemon garlic roasted chicken with your favorite low-carb side dishes like steamed broccoli, a garden salad, or cauliflower rice.
