Should be semi accurace. Weights are feeling light today but my shoulder said go **** yourself so my bench numbers sucked. Is what it is.

Still had a great workout and arm pump.

 

[BloodManor]

Tons of volume and that’s how I train. I can spend 2 hrs straight lifting in the gym especially on the weekend. I always felt volume is king with moderate heavy ass weights

[BloodManor]

Never tried that but I love risotto. Just hate stirring it for a hour

 

[pyrobatt]

That looks good. What's the breakdown on something like that

Macro wise its...1473 calories
171 carbs 44g fat 96 g protein.

Its a heavy dish but can be tweaked.

Its ready in like 10 minutes due to the fact I prep my meat /green beans/onions in advance.

One gets put in the microwave and the other gets cooked fresh. It was to die for, ima do it again tomorrow.

Had a great workout today. Still getting used to high bar but the volume is feeling oh so nice. Taking a long rest from high rep squats for a bit. Doing high rep sets on leg press and concentrating on getting those high bar numbers up. Still rapidly gaining strenght from the diet crash so that's always cool. When I was 233 when my pads of my feet were hurting I was so lean my numbers suffered. This year or next my goals are 405 bench, 700 deadlift, 405 highbar squats 405 for high rep rack pulls and 2 plate weighted pullups. Stay tuneeeed

 

[BloodManor]

I’ve heard of people’s feet hurting from being so lean. Just insane dedication to get to that point

More and more im becoming a fan of high rep squeeze work. No drug can deliver that type of Euphoria. Except for acid. College was fun.

It is, 350lbs weight capacity, big and tall.

Bulking? Go to sams and the rules are you can't turn down samples. Extra 200 calories ish. Actually picked up these Swiss mushroom burgers and sushi. Gainnnnnnzzzz

 

[BloodManor]

Went to Costco yesterday and not one free sample. I was pissed
Last time they had a huge dumpling table serving 5 different types of dumplings. I had about 15 lol

Speaking of eating big to get big.

Another hatecast is up.

Jamie lewis and I go over the simple things. Bulking and why people are so afraid to eat big. Its a pretty good rant session with a side bonus of having some good advice.

https://youtu.be/3jHYarlqRHQ

We are up to 11 hatecast now. Crazy, 1850 subscribers now too. Support has been awesome

 

[BloodManor]

I have youtube red so I download the hatecast and listen to it on my commute
I agree that so many people are afraid to eat big. No one wants to lose there abs or flat belly for a couple of months. I mean don’t bulk to 25%bf - and I’m a big supporter of high protein in a bodybuilders diet. I do much better with 250+grams of protein a day personally

Honestly for me it's the concern about ballooning up to the point where I can't cut back down to reasonable proportions. Yes, discipline and all of that, but I know I hold on to fat more than I should when I do bulk, so I put limits on how high I go - plus I feel terrible over about 170# on my frame. Highest I've pushed is up to 181# in the past.

Muscle or fat more weight =more weight ..

If you're uncomfortable at over 170 then don't go there. You look like you have some size, im 6'5 so I gotta push for 260+ this year.

Its all about not holding yourself back.

Side note: bruce randall was also uncomfortable. Haha

I hear ya. I'm currently bulking again, so sitting at about 175 now. Will probably finish up in about a month and then see where that gets me back to comfortably after hopefully putting on some quality weight under all of this softness I've got going on.

 

[pyrobatt]
