Yes sir ! And that's with the already cupped minute rice lol
13lbs chicken @$1.99/lb - $26
14 cups brown rice @ $1.50/2cups -$10.50
Biggest bag of mixed frozen veg-$5(lasts week and a half)
3 cartons of egg whites/ $13
Gallon of milk 3.50
And the flax seeds last forever so I don't remember what I payed for them lol
So around 58.00 for all that only thing missing is post workout meal which you could easily replace with more chicken and rice haha got it from Jason huhs video Big on a budget but he used real eggs where I use egg whites

Sh1t fire. Thanks for that. Now I can slam clean food and still have money to feed my family the crap they like to eat.
 
Get yourself a rice cooker and a 5# of brown rice at your local grocery store. It takes an hour to cook but completely worth the savings.

I have one lol. I use to do it that way but after a couple months I got so disgusted by rice I never wanted to eat it again lol when I make it it comes out horrible haha
 
Lol soy sauce my friend.
 
Adjust your water and methods of cooking (time, heat). I ate a LOT of bad rice before figuring out the right way to do it in my microwave. And when I use different brands I often have to adjust the water. Like a 20lb bag of jasmine from Sam's needs almost a half cup more water per 2 cups dry than the 4lb ziplocked bag of jasmine from Aldi. Cooking w a tbsp of olive or coconut oil or butter can help texture a lot too if that's an issue.

dear Arnold

may my reps be many,
may the weights feel light
cause I don't want to feel
like a puzzy tonight

lmao
 
Our Arnold, who art at Gold's,
Swolen be they gains
Thy lifting done when my pump has come,
Now, as it is in pressing.
And give us this day of our daily pre
As we forgive those who don't return the weights
And lead us not into dirty bulking, but deliver us to lean mass.
Amen

I have no room to say anything negative about your build, not after the picture I took yesterday. Personally, I think youre looking strong..... BUT... Since you said what you have there is a gut, youve made me sink myself into a deeper state of depression and im going to have to make a negative remark about you. Effin tattoos! They're disgusting and they make people look like tra......... Oh wait, I have an ink problem myself, my bad. Lol. Keep getting it brother, Id give anything to have the waist line you have and lifted67 V taper. Damnit!

Lmao nah bro the "waist line" is a lighting trick haha the gut is there I swear. And trust me I'd work my ass of for 17s like yourself . As far as the tattoos haha Ive been told I look fresh out the sewer whatever that means haha.
Here's a fun fact for everyone . As stated im a banker and the position of my table has the side of my right hand on the computer mouse facing the customers, I have Death tattooed on that hand , now imagine the amount of questions I get about that from little old ladies coming to the bank hahah minimum 2 times a day

Too funny. Id be like " death ma'am,death to your account- have a nice day!"
And I get looks all the time. Tattoos are normal now you would think, but some of the places I go, especially retirement homes...in the south, and here I come, 5'10" 220lb bald guy with tats down to his wrist. Nice.
And truth be told, Id rather be straight feom the sewer and know it then where a lot of these judgmental people are from!

Now, im guessing your no higher than what,13%bf,max? Nothing to that. Do you drink and how much? I dont, so i have no excuse, but a fellow firefighter friend of mine is fricken huge, strong as a bull and solid, but had a bit of a guy( that I still dont think you have). Drank beer all the time. I bet him if he quit, hed lose it. Would you believe that within 2 months of not drinking it was gone?
 
Alpha I think you look great dude and body fat can't be much higher than 13%, you'll get where you want to be, just gotta have patience.

Thank you man, it's tough knowing what the goal is and knowing its so far lol I guess that's part of what keeps us going as well that never satisfied hunger

I agree...and lifted67.... You meed to read what you typed here, but to yourself. Especially the last line.

And I agree with Titan here lifted ! Definitely could be said about yourself . Minus the patience part as I'm sure nether of us have that word in our vocabulary lol
 
I worked with a Marine who was legit a functioning alcoholic. He just LOVED blue moon. We had a biggest loser contest at work and he quit drinking for a week and lost 9lbs. He stopped for almost a month I believe and was down 19lbs, all belly fat and bloat. Until he started drinking again he was my favorite coworker there though.

Exactly!
 
Lmao that's good, but no drink for me I'm practically married lol I drank before thou but don't think that's it I was a toothpick
 
Ok rest day went pretty well. Tomorrow is chest day so I'm looking forward to another killer workout. Just seen Suicide Squad and it was great really enjoyed it. Went out after wards and glad to say I denied a delicious juicy greasy egg avocado and bacon topped burger, said f it to myself don't need a cheat meal till I'm at least 2 weeks into the "diet" . I hate saying it this way because people think "cutting" but ts not lol just sticking to clean ass foods . Came home and had some good tilapia, not my favorite of fish but it was great cooked it over a few capers.
 
Saw Squad yesterday myself and enjoyed it as well. Will Smith did some great acting and Margot Robbie was embarrassingly hot as Harley Quinn.

Appreciate it brother ! I think next week I'll push my luck and see what 365 feels like , 315 felt light I coulda easily pushed 4 but only had 2 planned and thought that would be a struggle after 2 sets of 275

Youre more of a man than me brother! I can get the 315, but my shoulder will never allow 365. But I will say this to you, if you haven't done it yet, invest in one of those slingshot things for benching. I told a friend about it and he bought one, loves it. I Tried his, and although I couldnt get my arms in it completely, 285 felt like 225. Just keeps your shoulders inline, and assist with it getting off your chest. $50. Good luck, I hope you get it. The press that is
 
Why not work up? 50lb jump to a truly maximal attempt is asking for trouble (if you benched 600 that would be different, but it's a % thing). 275x1, 315x1, then try something like 10-15lb jumps.

Good day of training btw

Just cuz ive been able to hit it before lol I understand what you mean for sure but I'm confident I could get it again I've gone up to 385 as my personal record but I struggled and struggled with 315 at that point too now it feels lighter so I just want to see what it's like!

Thanks man!
