I have been watching a bit more reality TV ever since quarantine started.

 

I'm currently watching Below Deck: Mediterranean on demand.

 

Love the beautiful locations they go to.

 

Croatia is now on my bucket list (looks amazing).

 

Anyway...

 

When you watch reality TV you always see ads for other reality shows.

 

One thing I've noticed is more and more of the guys on the shows are "swole".

 

 

I don't know what reality show this is, but I'm 99% certain this guy's name is Chad and his girlfriend is either named Ashley or Amber.

 

You know I'm right :)

 

Ashley will eventually dump Chad for a dude named Tanner (it was bound to happen).

 

Tanner is just as jacked as Chad, but with a more promising career.

 

 

Ashley met Tanner at a pool party.

 

Her friend Hannah was dating Tanner, but Tanner always had a thing for Ashley.

 

You see...

 

Ashley just got a butt implant and plumped her lips up a bit.

 

She's been showing off her amazing bod on Instagram.

 

Like all other reality stars and Instagram girls she is getting one step closer to looking like Denise Richards each year.

 

 

(There is a city east of Seattle, called Bellevue, where Denise Richards clones outnumber the normal people.)

 

It isn't Denise's fault... but a specific type of plastic surgery creates these Denise clones.

 

Back to Ashley and Tanner...

 

When Chad notices Tanner flirting with Ashley, he loses it.

 

"Come at me Bro!" can be heard from 2 miles away.

 

A pastel V-neck T-shirt is definitely in danger of getting torn.

 

 

After a bunch of pushing it is a ll over.

 

We have one torn V-neck and Ashley is in the corner crying.

 

Her friend Kelsey hugs her and then says... "I don't trust Chad's intentions."

 

Two other random guys wearing pastel V-necks also tell Ashley... "Chad does not have good intentions".

 

Ashley breaks up with Chad on the spot.

 

Tanner and Ashley fall in love and live happily ever after.

 

 

(Don't get me wrong, they will break up after Tanner sleeps with a girl named Kaitlyn at the Reunion show.)

 

Hannah will go on to her own reality show called Hannah Gets Her Groove Back.

 

There will be 20 guys with perfect fade haircuts and fitted pastel V-neck t-shirts.

 

She will fall for a guy with the best fade haircut, named Clay

 

The show will end with Hannah and Clay driving away in a green Lambo.

 

 

This is pretty much every dating reality show.

 

I haven't watched one of these types of reality shows in about 1-2 years.

 

But...

 

When I see one of the previews I cringe a bit when I see the generic muscular guys.

 

The whole message and philosophy of my programs has always been focused on maintaining a normal-sized physique and simply adding muscle definition.

 

The more times I see the "swole" reality stars, the more I double-down on simply helping people get fit and slim.

 

A recent picture of Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter (Bill & Ted) really drove this home for me.

 

 

Both of these guys have maintained sleek and streamlined physiques over the years.

 

This is what will payoff as you grow older, because excess muscle mass sags over time.

My new book "12 Weeks Physical Transformation" is geared at increasing strength without adding excess mass.

 

Tanner and Chad won't be impressed and will not even call you "bro".

 

Ashley and Hannah won't follow you on Instagram.

 

But I think you can live with that.

 

 

I apologize to anyone cool named Chad, Amber, Ashley, Hannah, Tanner, or Kaitlyn.

 

I'm not blaming you for having the perfect name for reality TV.

 

That would be your parent's fault.

 

Heck...

 

I have the name of an old man or orange cat.
