Hi Everyone,
I have been a carnivore since 23rd April 2018
I used to compete in powerlifting and my best lifts were a 260kg squat (in 2.5m wraps), a 135kg bench press and a 282.5kg deadlift at 75kg body weight. I used steroids to achieve this. I did not set foot in the gym for 2 years after this to focus on my career and this is my 5th week training again. I am doing this completely natural now, without any sort of PED, and with a carnivorous diet
I have started this log because I realise that it is not often someone goes 100% carnivorous and some people might want to see what happens.
I am taking my training extremely cautiously at the moment and deliberately progressing slowly. I do not wish to hurt myself, especially as I am likely still very strong and pushing too hard too soon might cause injury. So - the weights I am using are very small. However they are going to increase quickly.
My diet day to day is 1-1.5kg of beef a day. This is usually ground beef, BBQ'd brisket or ribs, steaks of various kinds and beef liver. I sometimes eat chicken or fish but I get very hungry very quickly again if I don't eat beef or lamb.
This is my training split. My goal is to gain muscle and strength, probably the same goal as most people here.
