DIET + Frozen Fish - Pizza = Victory
So here's the thing. If you want to be victorious at Armwrestling, you have to make sacrifices, and that means cleaning up your bad diet.
The Griffin seems to be able to maintain his strength on a diet of sausage rolls, kebabs, and beer (apologies to readers who are not familiar with sausage rolls and kebabs, take a look and you'll know what I mean). However, I have not been gifted with the ability to generate strength on a diet of saturated fat and alcohol. If my diet was this calorific, it wouldn't be long before I had the consistency of a blancmange.
Unfortunately, when one is earning a low wage and paying the bills, a strength building diet requires resourcefulness. Step forward cook from frozen salmon fillets, tinned sardines, tinned tuna, and frozen haddock. That's correct, these staples have been my only sources of protein for the last few weeks; throw in some frozen veg and you start to get an idea of how bland this diet is.
Just last night I was tucking into my 45th portion of frozen fish in two weeks, whilst the missus was enjoying a fresh pizza. Only the painful reminder of losing an armwrestle to an old man kept me from destroying that pizza.
Fortunately, such a bland diet works wonders for your physique and strength. Something The Griffin will find out soon enough.
