00:01:22.877 --> 00:01:28.477
O masie i redukcji. So, building and reducing, tak?
00:01:29.497 --> 00:01:32.997

Farmer. Yeah. Aha. And not from the store, but from natural.
00:01:58.717 --> 00:02:03.197
So not from the store, but from natural. Exactly. Aha.
00:02:04.417 --> 00:02:12.557
What else? Maybe. First morning I always have citron, all the citron with kawas.
00:02:13.157 --> 00:02:15.937
So, kawas with citron. Yes, yes.
00:02:16.077 --> 00:02:23.157
And then, three hours later, So, ten pomodor i jaka.
00:02:23.157 --> 00:02:28.477

00:02:37.877 --> 00:02:43.977
KoÅo dwa do trzy razy za tygodniu. W tygodniu, dwa, trzy razy w tygodniu.
00:02:44.317 --> 00:02:50.257
Ok, a powiedz mi, jaki typ wspóÅpracuje? Porto e Rubis.
00:02:51.127 --> 00:02:55.247
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:02:55.247 --> 00:02:55.247
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
00:02:55.247 --> 00:02:56.487

00:02:56.487 --> 00:02:57.847

00:03:02.807 --> 00:03:06.447
Maybe a hour, so 5-6 kilometers away.
00:03:06.967 --> 00:03:13.147
So I love because I listen to the podcast and I love it too.
00:03:14.647 --> 00:03:23.947
I've played Squash, but now it's not I love my ramiÄ, so I can't play.
00:03:24.307 --> 00:03:27.067
I love my ramiÄ. I love my ramiÄ, yes.
00:03:28.087 --> 00:03:29.587
So you're active.
00:03:30.887 --> 00:03:36.107
I play with my son. My son is 11, and I play ping pong.
00:03:37.187 --> 00:03:41.067
And football. Many times play football. Okay.
00:03:42.187 --> 00:03:46.827
Tell me, Roy, if you are interested in this topic of mass reduction?
00:03:47.767 --> 00:03:54.327
If you are in the mass, you are in the reduction, or you are not in the reduction.
00:03:56.747 --> 00:04:00.087
For me, it's not important for me.
00:04:01.287 --> 00:04:08.527
When I'm hungry, I don't eat five times a day, normally two times, and both, not three.
00:04:08.527 --> 00:04:20.227
And I am in the last week the biggest is 92 kg, so it's not good,
00:04:20.447 --> 00:04:22.447
I'm not a bad person, so now it's 88.
00:04:22.967 --> 00:04:29.447
I think that 85 kg is the best. Roy, for you it's a reduction.
00:04:30.587 --> 00:04:37.007
It's a reduction. Okay, so in case you said that you have a lot of kilograms,
00:04:37.007 --> 00:04:41.047
to tell me, what is the plan for reduction?
00:04:41.467 --> 00:04:44.407
What to do, to be a good reduction?
00:04:45.507 --> 00:04:49.787
How to reduce the kilogram in this case? What would you do?
00:04:50.487 --> 00:04:54.967
How would you do good reduction? What to eat and what to do?
00:04:56.159 --> 00:05:00.959
And I don't eat it, just a lot of fish.
00:05:02.419 --> 00:05:05.899
No, it's, it's a lot of fish.
00:05:06.559 --> 00:05:11.659
But for me, when the weather is beautiful and I make a grill,
00:05:12.059 --> 00:05:17.479
I make a maximum of two beers, but that's why I have a lot of fish.
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:26.319
Now, in a month, I say, okay, it's a lot faster. It's a bit better. Unfortunately, yes.
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:32.439
Okay, so you can drink piwo, that's not good. Okay, so what is it?
00:05:32.739 --> 00:05:35.379
Is there a plan for a diet for a reduction?
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:41.179
I don't have a plan for a reduction. It's better for a lot of time.
00:05:42.099 --> 00:05:45.619
Aha, so more sports, right? Yes.
00:05:46.979 --> 00:05:49.499
More sports. Like, for example.
00:05:54.859 --> 00:05:58.079
So, it's a good meal.
00:05:58.719 --> 00:06:07.119
So, it's a natural food. It's a fruit, fruits, and products without calories or low-calorie.
00:06:07.819 --> 00:06:13.319
So, you have to be at reduction. But I'm wondering,
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:23.479
what would you say about yourself? To be a person who wants to be mass, who wants to be mass.
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:29.839
You, reduccja, but let's say that your colleague wants mass and then what? I'm going to be mass.
00:06:31.061 --> 00:06:37.341
I don't know. I think that it's a lot of protein.
00:06:40.761 --> 00:06:46.281
Protein is a milk. A milk. I think that it's a help, but I don't know.
00:06:46.781 --> 00:06:50.741
I don't know. For the muscles, right? For the muscles.
00:06:52.401 --> 00:06:56.701
Okay, but is it only a milk? No, no. They must also eat calories.
00:06:57.881 --> 00:07:02.541
So, what are you doing? So, for dinner, yes? No, what's on this dinner?
00:07:03.501 --> 00:07:07.641
No, I don't know. Protein, yes? BiaÅko.
00:07:08.741 --> 00:07:13.301
And steak. I don't know.
00:07:13.441 --> 00:07:18.241
I don't know if it's good or not. I don't know if it's good. Yes, good.
00:07:20.341 --> 00:07:27.301
No, okay. No, dobra. Na redukcji wiemy, że ruch, aktywnoÅÄ, spacer,
00:07:27.541 --> 00:07:33.201
tak, żeby spalaÄ kalorie i w konsekwencji zgubiÄ kilogramy.
00:07:33.541 --> 00:07:37.501
A jaka aktywnoÅÄ na masie? SiÅownia, trening to tak.
00:07:37.721 --> 00:07:43.201
A poza siÅowniÄ
, co jeszcze można robiÄ, tak żeby mieÄ miÄÅnie?
00:07:44.521 --> 00:07:51.001
BezsiÅownia, tak? Well, you know, I have kettlebell, so I do kettlebell sometimes,
00:07:52.041 --> 00:07:58.841
and I have a lot of our bull walkers, that is, the system can do this,
00:07:59.101 --> 00:08:01.101
and there are a lot of things.
00:08:01.761 --> 00:08:08.841
I think you don't have to watch TV, be active.
00:08:09.501 --> 00:08:14.281
Be active. Yes, I can be active. Okay.
00:08:16.045 --> 00:08:26.005
Toro, tell me, for example, if you would like to try to reduce it?
00:08:26.785 --> 00:08:30.605
But is it your goal in the powerhouse?
00:08:31.845 --> 00:08:37.765
No, it's... It's... It's... I don't know, muscle, I don't know, what it is.
00:08:38.425 --> 00:08:44.285
Miexie. Miexie. Yes, because you have a pec and the back.
00:08:44.585 --> 00:08:48.945
The arm and the legs are good, but the pec and the back, the back,
00:08:49.445 --> 00:08:50.885
the back, the back. The neck.
00:08:51.225 --> 00:08:54.185
The neck. The neck, yes. The neck, yes. Okay.
00:08:54.905 --> 00:09:00.965
You are not a good one, but it is not ideal. Yes, the neck. Everybody wants
00:09:00.965 --> 00:09:02.665
to have a neck. I have a neck.
00:09:03.445 --> 00:09:08.045
It's a bit of a neck. It's a bit of a neck. and you should.
00:09:09.585 --> 00:09:14.765
No, I tak. No, dobra, Roy. Czyli byÄ na masie i byÄ na redukcji.
00:09:14.925 --> 00:09:18.345
Tak, dwa etapy ważne w życiu każdego czÅowieka. Na siÅowni.
00:09:18.945 --> 00:09:26.725
Bo żeby byÄ zdrowym i sprawnym, trzeba jeÅÄ odpowiedniÄ
iloÅÄ kalorii, biaÅka. No, I tak.
00:09:27.345 --> 00:09:30.705
Roy, ja dziÄkujÄ Ci bardzo za to.
00:09:31.985 --> 00:09:36.085
Pytanie do ludzi, którzy mnie sÅyszÄ
