TGR's Modified PowerBuilding v2.0

Ask him to mail you some - you can just tell him the package must have been intercepted by a polar bear and trick him into sending 2 rounds of it.

You have to be capable of thawing it to eat. Not sure Simon can up there.
 
Always creative with the protein snacks. I like it. How do you make that fudge?

Ingredients

4.4 grams butter
Spray Olive Oil (no-stick)
139g FINAFLEX Frosted Churro Protein
1.5 oz unsweetened almond milk
1/5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Line a 9-in.-square pan with foil; grease foil with no-stick spray
In a large microwave-safe bowl, mix protein powder and water until you get the same consistency as you'd have with melted chocolate, then mix with the butter.

Microwave 45 seconds, stir, then microwave another 30 seconds and stir. Stir in milk and vanilla. Spread into prepared pan. Freeze until firm (I made the mistake of cutting it early, which is why the edges aren't even)

Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Remove foil; cut fudge.

Changes Next Time:

I'm going to use some unsweetened 100% cacao dark baking chocolate and replace butter with coconut oil to try and make the fudge more solid, in hopes that it will stay hardened outside of refrigeration. I'll likely add swerve sugar alternative as well.

Notes:

Gotta get back to doing shoulderok at home. Need more shoulder rotation. I've been stretching it more and it has a fatigue feel.

Bicep pain: None. This is the best my bicep has EVER felt while pressing. High rep curls thrice a week is the contributing factor IMO. Thanks Herder.

Core game is strong(er). I'm surprised how much the planks have helped. I never expected to be able to do weighted roll outs. Hoping for a full plate x10 in the next month or two.
 
I'm liking this last workout. I really feel the difference when using the ShouldeRok. Glad to hear the bicep pain is gone.

Every time I did a roll out I was cursing you, as if it was your fault I had to do them. lol

One set KB OHP and my alarm went off.

I have a pain in my right knee when I bend or squat certain ways. This happened months ago but not this bad. Last time it never ached when I had weight on my back. May try squatting tomorrow and if it aches call it quits and deload. If it doesn't ache I'll hit the minimum and then deload. Shoulder could use one.

Calories were kinda low yesterday and I'm feeling it today. I did get a treat though and would've had 2-3 more if I had more carbs to use.

Still strong brother. Your food porn is making me hungry.
 
Chocolate = strength.

Correlation = causation lol

Anyhow, solid work reg! How much weight has CNS and your diligent work ethic got you down now?

Still around the same weight last I checked. Personal and gym belt are fitting better and better though. Maybe I'll see a drop tomorrow. Usually do right before a refeed.

Strong stiff leads brother... CHicken parm at 2 net carbs... how???? that is sweet

Rao sensitive marinara is 2g carbs for a half cup. The chicken is pan fried in its own juices instead of a breeding, and the cheese is zero carb.

Thanks guys!

May be because I'm used to hex but the 45's look smaller in circumference. I'll ask Jim what size is standard in measure these. Gonna have to weight them all anyway.

Gonna be great for all but squats and deads anyway. Perfect for some home workouts.
 
Are they sports authority plates? Hard to tell in the pic, but they look like it.


If so, they are a little smaller in diameter than they should be.

Easy fix would be to buy a couple pair of CAP from Academy as they are correct diameter and just use them first to have the bar at the right height.


Edit: don't be surprised if they are off by quite a bit when you weigh them. I would just write the actual weight on the back so I knew but it isn't a big deal.

They are, and I'll take what I can get I guess. Don't plan on deadlifting at home yet anyway.

I actually had some before I got all the new equipment.


Nothing wrong with them, especially for the price. Just gotta get some full diameter plates whenever you do start deadlifting.

Does a TDB have center squat knurling?
 
Nah. As far as i know there wont be any deadlift specialty bar with center knurling.

If i were you id just get a quality multipurpose bar then when you saved up enough just get the specialty dead bar.

This.


And honestly, I'd look at Rogue for the deadlift bar. Price is way friendlier than a TDB.
 
Congrats on the weight loss! Awesome work as always too!!

FINAFLEX Frosted Churro CTC Cheesecake

206 cals/slice:
19g protein, 21g carbs, 4g fat

Ingredients: (8 servings) :
693g Philadelphia FF cream cheese
236g 0% ***e Greek Yogurt
50g FINAFLEX Frosted Churro Clear Protein
114g Cinnamon Toast Crunch
1 large egg
14g Swerve Sweetener

Swirl Spread:
9g FINAFLEX Frosted Churro Clear Protein
1T Butter
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon

Directions:
Leave ingredients out to reach room temperature before beginning.
Preheat oven to 350, grease a 10" spring-form pan
In a large mixing bowl beat together cream cheese and greek yogurt until smooth
Mix in all other ingredients but cereal.
Put 85g cereal into a bowl and crush to crumbs. Add 1/4 of the cheesecake mix to this, mix well. This is to bind it together better.

Spread the last of the cereal over the top, I pushed each piece in 1/2 way.

Optionally top with extra spread and ground cinnamon!
Devour.
 
Did you purchase that equipment? If you did, welcome to the home gym club!
 
Down to 225 today. Time to put it all back on!!

I'm loving 1.5-2 per week depending on how much I train. I'll take it. Puts me 7-10 weeks from where I used to consider comfortable.
 
Awesome reg. Today's the day to eat what you've been thinking about the other six days lol
