Again, I appreciate all ideas, and welcome new ones:
Now things are a little different, as one night a bunch of the neighbourhood kids were looking through my windows at the nurses residence while I was working out. I wasn't doing anything that surprising, just about 1/2 hour of heavy bag work, abs and lower back. Typically I go to work in a long sleeve T-Shirt or dress shirt, as the temp up here hasn't hit above 10C, so no one realized that I wasn't just bulky or fat, but a bunch of them saw me working out in a set of shorts and a tank and now all the tweens and teens are asking me how they can get bigger, stronger, etc...
I'm trying to tell them that with the food that they eat they're not going to really develop, as meat costs about 5x as much as in even a small town, and fresh veggies are non-existant. Pop and chips are a meal up here for many kids, but it has never been any different in their lifetime, so the concept of proper diet is foreign to them. I fly in here with a cooler full of chicken breasts and frozen veggies, and not much else so I don't cheat, but many of the parents simply do not have the money available to eat like that. Fortunately wild game fullfills meat requirements for many, with moose and fish being readily available most months, with the occasional bear. However, the starchy carbs are easy to transport, store and use so many of these kids have pastas, rice, breads, potatoes and such at every meal, with no other veggies at all.
I feel bad for these kids, because I know that fitness was a major part of my life, and taught me to value what I am. My dad was a bodybuilder throughout the 80s & early 90s, I paid for two university degrees as a REAL personal trainer (not one of those fucks who uses a swiss ball for everything, THEY ARE USED FOR ABS, NOT SQUATS DUMBASS), and played college football with no real experience based solely on my size and strength I gained from training.
Anyway, this was just a rant but it served a purpose....
