Testing TestoPRO like a Pro (sponsored)

George: place it in the refrigerator as soon as you get it home. I buy 5 at a time and place them in the freezer until I need them. The bread last longer because of the lack of flour; however, it must be kept cooler than room temperature because of the sprouts aging in warmer climates. Food for thought.

Glad that ankle is doing better!! I love ezekiel bread, but the stuff goes bad so fast!!

Yep you got to keep it cool. I do the same thing and stock up on it while it is on sale. The big six pack of tortillas were on sale for 2.50 a bag and I went to the store yesterday and they were 7 a bag. I was just about to restock too since I'm down to my last bag, but they did have the bread for 4 so I picked up a few loafs...

[Liftergym33]

Nice job on the dead lifts bro! eat up today

 

[subweevil]

Cool, thanks Iron!! The little lady and I just need a bigger fridge!! I place it in there and she moves it out for other things, but your 100% right. Man, I wish I had room to buy 5 at a time, you guys are lucky!!

 

[Iron Lungz]

I have a spare refrigerator in my garage, so storage is an easy fix for me. Our main unit in the kitchen is packed with the food that we will eat during the week. I also have a meat freezer that I keep stocked.

I've been wanting to get a deep freezer. Definitely a good investment.

 

[subweevil]

Yeah it is, just gotta figure out where on God's green earth to put it.

Yesterday

Food:

At work yesterday they did not have any hot food to serve. The salad bar was open and they had sandwiches though. Luckily they had a ton of chopped up chicken breast on the salad bar though. I ate three plates of the breast and an assortment of veggies and crasins while I was at work. I was only there for two hours before I came back home.

At home I made some turkey patties and had turkey burgers. A little later I ate a half can of salmon w/ a large bowl of spinach. Then I ate another turkey burger. For dinner I ate the rest of the salmon and pinto beans. Before bed I had a protein shake.

Today I got a leg shoulders day!! Got to make some breakfast and get ready to lift :yeah:

 

[bludevil]

Man I miss being in my early 20's and being able to eat almost anything I wanted and still make good gains. Everytime I read your daily log, I'm envious of the food choices.

Another nice workout bro. Keep up the good work.

 

[jdg487]

thanks pem!! That 225 on the front squat was a pr too!! It felt sooo good

 

[subweevil]

Looks solid man, keep it up!!

 

[stxnas]

Man I miss being in my early 20's and being able to eat almost anything I wanted and still make good gains. Everytime I read your daily log, I'm envious of the food choices.

LOL...I couldn't eat enough to make gains in my early 20s!

 

[Inarius]

LOL...I couldn't eat enough to make gains in my early 20s!

lol im finding it hard to afford to eat enough to make gains... 1 more year of college...

 

[freezito]

hang with it bro,keep eating what you can, get through school. u got lots of good years ahead of ya

 

[stxnas]

I can only imagine...at your size, I would have never had a snowball's chance in hell, lol...

I didn't know anything about diet and supps then either, though :frustrate

It would have been great to have things like TestoPRO back then!

 

[Inarius]

Im diggin me some hamburger helper, milk, and leftovers from mom's house.
Today she dropped off a casserole... baked spaghetti with a topping of cheese and pepperonis... delicious...
Just gotta make it til May... then hopefully it will be greener pastures.

 

[dedlifter1]

Dude I love hamburger Helper:heart: I am a pretty good cook, its hard sometimes to eat the same damn thing every day. I made French onion soup, and chili this past sunday, the chili cooked for over 6 hrs. It was breathtaking.:scratchchin:

 

[jdg487]

Haven't had hemburger helped in years - good stuff!! lol last week my Mom made some chili, it was explosive

 

[Inarius]

Hamburger helper is the best because.... it is easy to make, delicious, and moderately nutritious. oh yeah... and its cheap!
Im not much of a cook but a pot of chili sounds like it would last a week or so... just gotta be wary of the side effects

moderately nutritious and cheap is music to my ears.

 

[Irish Cannon]

What are you guys talking about? Hamburger Helper is horrible for you. lol. - It would be "moderately nutritious" if you got rid of the pasta it came with and replaced it with a whole wheat pasta source, but even then the stuff has trans fats and a bunch of preservative garbage in it.

1 serving is...
11 g of fat
4.5 sat fat
.5 trans fat

55mg cholesterol
760mg sodium
360mg potassium
23 g carbs
21 g protein

so how do we get the trans fats outta there? any alternatives to the powder included? anyone made their own hamburger helper/ similar product?

Like I said, really all you can do is get rid of the pre-packaged enriched white pasta and get your own. You can't really do much else. But even if the macronutrients are somewhat decent, you've still got the chemical junk in it.

Have you ever tried Ragu Cheddar sauce? That stuff is pretty dank, and you don't need much of it. It tastes great on beef or chicken. Mix in with some whole wheat macaroni noodles.

This is where it gets difficult; bodybuilding and healthy eating don't necessarily go hand in hand. - I do my best to find a balance.

Ahh thats easy pick out the pasta then pour it over some whole wheat pasta. I do not eat it often but it is sure yummy.

 

[Inarius]

Ill be trying some of this later on in the week

[jdg487]

Today...

Yeah that's why I haven't ate HH in years....

Had breakfast today, 6 eggs, half a steak, toast w/ peanut butter, and blueberries. Then I went to do a quick complex and core workout.

Workout:

Complex - Deadlift, Stiff Leg Deads, Bent Rows, Cleans, Front Squat, Push Press, Squat, Good Mornings - 6,5,4,3,2,1 w/ 75 lbs - 30 seconds rest betweeb each series

Various Core things - ab wheel, hanging leg/knee raises, and planks

Food

Post workout I had my usual 40/30 drink. Then I had to rush to work. At work I ate like a KING. Fricken countless chicken breast, veggies, rye rolls, and mashed potatoes!!! I had three plates right when I came in, and I went back to eat two hours later. After that I had to do work and it took about 4 hours. Once I got back in I ate again, same thing.

I just got home and I had a shake w/ a whole can of coconut milk- around 720 cals- w/ 50 grams of whey, and my PM serving of TestoPRO. I got to head out to my bball game in a few minutes, hopefully it will go well.

 

[UNCnate]

Good luck with your game. I wish I could get involved in a bball league.

 

[subweevil]

Hope you guys win man, go get'em!!

 

[jdg487]

awwww man

Last Night:

Well we played horrible. Had way to many turnovers and did not play any type of defence in the second half. Ended up only losing by 10, we were up by 10 within the first 10 minutes of the game. I was out of gas by the start of the second half - a rough day a work took everything out of me. No excuses though - I need to work on my game- get it back to something close like I was a few years ago.

I was in a pretty bad mood when I got home and I did not want to cook anything. I just had a protein shake, took a shower, and fell asleep.

This Morning

Woke up extra early since I have to be at work extra early. Once I get home I am going to get a chest/tri's/hams workout in. Later tonight I'm also going to try to get into the high school gym by my house to get some shooting in. Last night I was like 2-8 shooting and most of them were wide open or really close to the hoop.

Today I plan on eating anything I can get my hands on. I believe that it is Mexican Day at work- hopefully they got that good fajita chicken and steak....

Another day...

Today:

Ate 6 eggs, black beans, toast, and some coconut milk. Then I had to rush off to work. At work I ate three corn bread muffins and some milk as a snack. Then I had to go out and work for three and half hours. Once I got back inside I went to eat again. Today was slim pickens. They only had beans, rice, taco meat, and some greasy quisedillas. I ate as much as I could and headed home. As soon as I got home I went to lift, kind of a rushed session, only had 30 minutes...

Lifting:

Incline DB Press - 65 x 10, 75 x 8,6,6,5,4

Stiff Leg Deads - 165 x 10,10,10,10,10 superset w/
Dips - didn't really count the reps, just went w/ BW

Post:

Had my usual 40-30 after. Then I had run a few errands. Once I got back homr I ate chicken breast, bread, spinach, brocolli, and a few shrimp. Two hours later I mixed up some peanut butter, oatmeal, whey, and evoo in a bowl and ate it.

TestoPRO Notes:

Strenght is surging up now. I can feel it for sure. Skin has still been oily, and I have had a few more pimples. Libido is kind of off and on, similar to what Metroba describes in his log. Yesterday was a real low day, and today is feeling the same way.

[dedlifter1]

Diet looks tight bro!

 

[subweevil]

Lookin' good!!

 

[jdg487]

Yesterday...

Diet:

For breakfast I ate 6 eggs, black beans, tortilla, salsa, and a bowl of blueberries and strawberries. At this time I took all of my supps and of course TestoPRO. Then I went to lift.

Workout:

I had another abbreviated workout, it worked out like this:

Deadlifts - 225 x 10,12,12,10,8 superset w/
Pull Ups - BW x 10,10,8,7,7

DB Rows - 85 x 3,4,5,4 superset w/
Incline Hammer Curls - 35 x 12,12,10,9

Post:

After this I had to hurry to get ready for work. I got a my regular shake in and headed out. Once I got to work I went and ate a plate of mashed potatoes, veggies, two ribs, and chicken breast. I ate this same meal three more times throughout the day, the only change is that I also had some chicken pot pie during two of the last times.

I finally got back home a little late and I had to get ready for my Thursday night bball league. Before I left my house I had another shake similar to a post workout shake. We ended up winning our game w/ a last second 3, it was a good game. I played a lot better than on Tuesday for sure.

As soon as I got home I ate a vanilla Greek yogurt, almonds, chicken breast, and some spinach. It was late for me at this time and I just hit the sack after the meal.

Today:

I do not know if I am going to have time to lift today. In a little bit I got to go to work, it is suppose to be a very busy day up there. If it is I may be to tired to lift, but I will try my best.

 

[AZMIDLYF]

Any gains in weight yet? I think I have gained a few pounds reading what you're eating!! Looks great JD.

That's what stims are for! - Always keep some on hand. :thumbsup: - Bodybuilding 101

 

[metroba]

Stims are def a necessity while in school.

Are you getting rock hard erections man? Totally gai I know but I am and I'm trying to get some other opinions.

Also, how much have your lifts gone up? Pick the major ones.

 

[Iron Lungz]

I would recommend E-911. Damn solid stimulant without the crash.
