Well this may be hard to believe, but I was a "string bean" once myself! I graduated high school at 6'3 and 155. No lie. Totally unathletic. A bookworm/pothead! LMAO. I started working out at age 19 after seeing Conan The Barbarian on HBO that summer. But I started gaining rather easily. In 6 months I had put on about 20 to 25 lbs. My dad said, "that stuff must be made for you". He was right. This "stuff" is my bliss. I love pushing the limits of my strength and endurance. To test my mettle and see my worth. And by the way, you've went from "Skeletor" to "Shredator"!! And that's a big improvement. Keep blastin' this sh!t up in here shaddow-warrior!! :head:
Sounds like what I eat in a day!! Just kidding, but really you eat more than me bro. A lot more. :lol:1.5lbs 93% ground beef w/ spinach & plum tomatoes, 1 cup oatmeal + ON (a little watery in the pic, but it was steaming and most of the water evaporated), 1 can kidney beans, yogurt, banana, apple, water, pills.
Thanks, bro! You guys are always talking about my shreds, like I have some kind of magical secret or something.... It's all in the diet, bro! I try to eat as clean as possible all the time! I've swayed a little from the original diet I posted when I started this log, but that's only really been cuz my appetite has grown so much. Now I'm occasionally substituting lean ground beef or steak for chicken here and there, and swapping carb sources and adding beans, veggies, and fruit, but I'm still trying to keep things as clean and healthy as possible. :thumbsup:
Thanks, bro! And thanks for dropping by the log! I've been poking my head in your log as well, despite only having posted once. Looking good in there!
Hey, I'll set you up with a plate next time! Just don't be upset if I eat it cuz you're not around! :lol:
Thundergod was a stingbean!?! :jaw: I would've never guessed it, brother! Obviously you have come a LONG WAYS! Mad props to you, my friend!! :clap2: You continue to be a huge inspiration to me!! :box:
Thank you, my friend!! Very much appreciated!!
Awesome! Now if I can only catch up to your leg strength... HA! Yeah right. That'll NEVER happen! :lol:
Thanks, bro! Totally stoked about the PR's! Hopefully I can keep pushing for more in the coming weeks!
I just recently added them myself. Great source of good carbs & protein.
LOL. I'm gonna eat one more time before bed.
Day 14: Saturday, October 3
Weight: 185.2 (+4.4)
Weight's still climbing!! :woohoo: I skipped right past 184. LOL. So today, at the 2 week mark, I am up 4.4lbs and my abs are a little more visible than they were 2 weeks ago, even taking in the insane amount of calories that I have been. I think something is definitely happening here.
Very lazy day for me today. It was much needed. Cheated quite a bit with my diet as well. I cooked fajitas earlier and they were the freaking bomb!! :food::food::food: I've been eating them all day. I made steak and chicken fajitas, and probably had like 5 or 6. Had guac and light sour cream (which I pretty much never eat) with them. Good stuff.
This past week I'd been feeling a bit lethargic, but I also had just gotten over that stomach ailment and I was going to bed pretty late every night, so I can't blame the supps here. I'm def gonna try and get more rest this coming week and see how I'm feeling. I slept about 8 hours last night, woke up, ate breakfast, went to the store and bought some groceries to make my fajitas, cooked, ate again, ate some more, and passed out for 4 more hours in the late afternoon. Got up around 8 or 9 and ate again, and now my fajitas are all gone.
Tomorrow is another day off (I'm really starting to dislike the 2 days off in a row on weekends) and my big cooking day. Oh man, I completely spaced on the lasagna today. I'll probably just cook the ground beef I had bought for it tonight as my before bed meal.
Not much else to report. I'm kinda rambling, so I'll just leave it at that. 4 1/2 lbs in 2 weeks is pretty impressive, IMO. Still got almost 4 weeks left of this, and so far I'm really enjoying the ride!
Ohhhh mAANNNN!!!! THANKSGIVING!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!Yea Shadow you're cooking looks pretty good. I'm about to hit the gym, 10x10 of Deadlifts, then 10 HIIT sprints. Just thinking about the awesomeness of my PWO meal, follow my Thanksgiving dinner
Bhahaha. You make a solid case. I see where you are coming from.
Day 14: Saturday, October 3
Weight: 184.8 (+4)
Just dropping in real quick cuz I know I'm gonna be busy all day and I wanted to make sure I posted today. Weight came down a little, but that seems to be the trend lately. Up a couple, down one, up a couple, down one. That's alright, my diet isn't quite as strict on the weekends these days anyways.
Gotta run now. But one last thing, before I'm out...
GO 'SKINS!!!!
So do I. She's a little plump hottie if you ask me. I'd slice her like a new pie!! Poon-tang custard!! :food:
Have a great day my warrior brother. I'm out too. GO STEELERS!! :aargh: Oh well, I love 'em.Day 14: Saturday, October 3

Hard is a state of mind

Oh man.... Thanksgiving... I am going to eat so much freaking food this year on Turkey Day... I'm freaking salivating just thinking about it. :food::food::food:
Actually, sometimes I will put Huy Fong Sriracha, ground beef, cheddar cheese, and smashed plum tomatoes for flavor, but lately I haven't even cared how things taste, I'm pretty much just eating with minimal prep time cuz I'm so damn hungry.
LOL. I wouldn't call Rachel Ray ugly, but I agree on her body. Not so hot.
Last night was amazing. Now I have half a 20lb turkey to take back to University with me too
Having no brothers is definitely a plus lol.
Maaaaaaan, what a freaking game!!! I got nervous as hell early though, and almost walked away from the TV, but I'm glad I stuck it out. After the Eagles scored on their first possession, forced a 3 & out for the Skins, then returned a punt to make the score 14-0, it wasn't looking too pretty with over 7 minutes left in the first quarter. But the Skins stuck to their game plan and gutted it out in impressive fashion. Suisham was on point, drilling field goals from 41, 48, and 50 yards, and Portis ran for 145 yards and a touchdown. Jason Campbell who started 0-5 completed 16 of his next 24 passes and continued to display great poise and awareness in the pocket being sacked only once against an Eagles team that had racked up 16, I believe it was, through 4 games. And once again, the Skins had no offensive turnovers. Jason Campbell is the only starting quarterback in the NFL to not throw an interception. This Eagles D, which had given up only 53.8 yards per game on the ground, got exposed for 203 total yards rushing in the Skins win. The Eagles went over 30 minutes without a first down at one point.
Steelers played a hell of a game last night! Roethlisberger had a hell of a first half, and the Steelers did a good job of holding on to finish the game. I look forward to seeing my burgundy & gold battle it out with your boys on Monday night in Washington in about a month!!!
Whaddup, homey! :wave:

I'm glad I'm not a "hard loser", because I'm probably going to cut down a litle bit in November I think. I want to get back to sub-10, and I feel around 12. The Tanita is BS, did a reading yesterday that pissed me off. It said I had gained only 4 lbs of fat in my TNT run, and I'm like WTF? I busted my ass, ate super clean, all my lifts are up and I look just as lean. It was quite a downer though, I was going to post it up in my log, will probably mention it later today but I've run out of the TNT goodies.
What's up, DW! Thanks for droppin' by!
