Time to MonteGROW like a Finaflex Freak!

Sounds like some good changes on the diet, and for a nice change try using Hot Sauce pre mixed in the egg whites for a similar flavor and no need to drain them. Sometimes I will put a little taco seasoning in the egg whites for more flavor.

I second this. Also, a little bit of lawry's goes a long way too.

There he is Dark Shadow! If you meet him in a dark alley you had better thought to bring him a steak!

Groundhog's Day anyone?
 
Lots of good eats, I bet you are filling in nicely with the addition of carbs, I have managed to work my way back up to 300g of carbs a day so far. I am always full and vascularity is evident 30-60 minutes post meal pretty much every meal. So I know you are loving it.

Today is day three on the extra carbs but I could already tell a difference yesterday during training. Getting tighter for sure.

Damn you are fast I popped back in to edit my last post and you already responded to it by the time I saved it. LOL
 
Four meals down today. .... about to train. ...I think the pumps are gonna be epic. I never train this late in the day with this much food ingested yet so I might be happy.

On another note my post workout meal will be a shake with carbs added somehow and my last meal will be mostly carb free. Trying to keep carb intake lower later in the day but with evening training it's a tad bit tricky.
 
Pumps were awesome but the session was par. Tons of people. Couldn't get in my zone for some reason.

Major difference today was this afternoon training...... So moving forward Thursdays and Fridays will be rest days or arm days (like today) or possibly accessorie days devoted to weak point training and light cardio.

The way I plan this now is Sunday Monday Tuesdsy Wednesday being the heavy workload days Thursday Friday Saturday wtf ever I feel like needs to be done days.

Meal timing will also change a bit on my accessorie/arm days..... will get at least four meals in before workouts but shoot for five with my last meal post training. Hence I can get in bed with food already digested and carbs are not as close to sleep.

yeah for me, there's a fine line there on benefit of food:training ratio...
i'm usually a one meal and then train guy, but every once in awhile i go 2 meals pre-training (and i do seem to have more energy, slightly, on the 2-meals-in days vs. just one meal)
that said, i am splitting hairs a bit, as it is not really enough of a benefit in my view to go out of my way to do this regularly

have NEVER enjoyed night-time training, at all
done it a few times, usually when i am doing 2-a-days or something (and it's been a LONG time since I've done that)...oddly however, my fav time to do cardio is late at night, i'm talking real late - like when normal ppl in the neighborhood are all sleeping :p
kinda contradictory, but it is what it is .. we all have our own preferences
 
Currently not much choice other then afternoon training Thursday through Saturday. Waking at 430 already to just make it to work on time then working till at least 4 in the evening.

The rest of the week will be normal earlyish training after first meal so that will stay the same.

Agree with a few things you say here... crowded gym, no thanks. And for me the mornings produce my best workouts - mind you that usually means fasted too..
 
Meals for tomorrow.

8oz 99%lean ground turkey
Salsa
Fat free cheese
1/2 giant sweet potato
Small amount of spinach

8oz 99%lean ground turkey
Salsa
Fat free cheese
Brown rice
Small amount of spinach

8oz 96% lean ground beef fat smashed out while cooking
Fat free Ranch
1/2 giant sweet potato
Small amount of spinach

The spinach portions are so small because leafy greens flare up my gi problem so I'm trying to work them in at small amounts to test it.

Btw for those of you who say you don't have time to cook and pack meals for daily life. This is a total of 15 minutes standing at the stove time and I cooked each portion of meat individually.

Start sweet tater in oven. Start rice. Cook each portion of meat. Put meat in bowls. Sit down for ten minutes. Put rice in bowl. Put spinach in bowls. Sit down wait 45 minutes put sweet tater in bowls. Done.
 
Back in the gym after two days of rest and two totally stim free days. Still continuing the taper down on stims and it's gone smoothly. Today I only did half a scoop of Ignite with Max Pump and BCAA/SAA.

Looked like this

Leg press 15×180/15×180/15×180/12×360/8×450/8×540/6×630/6×630

Sumo dead lift 12×225/12×225/6×315/6×315/6×315

Conventional dead lift 10×225/6×315/6×405/4×455 (made up for last week)

Pull ups 12/12/10/10/10

Single leg calf press on leg less 270x12 for eight sets alternating legs with no rest then a burn out with both legs for 25

Cybex calf press 400x12 five sets

Cable crunches 120x15 six sets

Hanging leg raises 5 sets of 12

Was a good session for sure and with the lack of stims I am very happy with it :)
 
Whats that meal in the center pic? I see you did those domo dead lifts. Never have I ever seen any doodz getting those done in the gym. There is also alot of chicken legs in there!

8oz 99%lean ground turkey
Salsa
Fat free cheese
Brown rice
Small amount of spinach

I kinda like the sumos.... can get a great ham and glute workout workout having to put extra stress on the knees with more presses or curls. Just a change of pace :)
 
Sumo's can be intense for sure! Your meals and prep are looking good!
 
So today's noods are good and bad at the same time. While my progress continues its very apparent that I'm gonna have to have surgery on this lower stomach skin. The hump you see there (lower stomach) is not fat its just skin. I've got veins running up to there then the skin starts so I'm frustrated now. Never the less I'm continuing with the slow cut in hopes of more tightening before I fully commit.

Gonna go hit some back today. I've been throwing deads in a lot lately so today im going to do some rack pulls for a change.

Went to dr and had blood test results. Test came back at 1361 and estrogen was at 32. I figured the estrogen had gone up with some of the sides I have been having but Dr likes where the test is at :) and hooked me up with some more adex. Loving life today!

Have you found that you can do more pull-ups since you've basically lost a small child worth of weight?
Click to expand...
I've found the opposite form to be true, since I have added a small child to my weight now in short time..
even with increased strength, the end total remains less reps/more struggle :nervous:

Tubby. Jk jk :)
 
Holy hell brother I havent checked in here for a good minute, and what do I see? A whole new Montego!
 
Looking good Monte and yeah the skin is sticking out down there but there is still fat in it and as you lose more of the fat the skin will continue to get thinner and thinner. It may not be perfect once you get lean but it may not be enough of a problem to spend money to get rid of it either.
