bruh, right in teh feelz.
I remember being laid off, was the best 6 months of my life. Training 2x a day, 6 days a week. Getting 10h of sleep everyday. My TDEE jumped to 3500 calories. Soon as I got to working again, I couldn't do the 2x a day as often since it would mean I'd be getting 4-5h sleep a night. Then the drop in activity level dropped my TDEE
Work took away my ability to pig out more!
I swear, I'm gonna do an arrangement where I work for a couple of years, then take 1-2 years off to trane then repeat.
Back in the days of the Empire when Britannia still ruled Hong Kong (still had the lease going). I knew an older guy that would work bars in Hong Kong for 3 months a year to go live it up in Thailand for 6 - 9 months......oh to live in the days of privileged wages and crazy exchange rates, I could have trained Muay Thai to my hearts content.
+1 on being laid off and collecting unemployment for 6 months. I was also training 2x a day, 5-6 days a week back in 2001-2002. I had the time of my life like Patrick Swayze.
As for the arrangement, I swear I want to do what this guy is doing whom I met at the auto mechanic's one day. I met this American dude who has a residence visa in Vietnam but he owns a few properties here in the States. What he does is come to the states for 3 month stretches at a time to handle some important work concerning his properties and collecting his money and spends the other 9 months in Vietnam living it up and enjoying their lower cost of living. But Vietnam wouldn't be my destination choice though. I'd rather go to Thailand or Taiwan. The only thing that makes it difficult for me is that this dude is married to a Vietnamese woman which I'm sure made it easier for him to obtain his residence visa. But I'm already married. So I'm either going to have divorce my wife or practice polygamy. What do you guys think?
