Actually with eggs I have always been able to eat a lot.. I don't eat steak like that. I can handle about 24 oz's and I have seen my buddies handle a lot more...Your a monster bro. Give me your appetite.

Yah not lean enough for me generally... I will eat it off season sometimes though. I usually do lean trimmed Sirloin...12 is my limit and i love me some filet mignon. Fortunately im starving 45 minues after i eat.
Yah it's cuz you tighten so much when you carb so they really Pop now to keep most of the water in the muscle and lose it in the skin...flushing should do it.I love Sirloin myself, when prepared well it is easily as good as any other I am not a fan of ribeye it is too fatty for my taste. Well for me anyway. As you all know I can eat a ton of cooked animal flesh. Notice I did not say meat because I know some of you guys are just ready to jump on that.
So I FINALLY woke up with some damn water under my skin. I could see it in my face this morning. I filled out a good bit and I still think I could have eaten more carbs and filled up a little more but timing is not allowing for it since I want to actually want to take my pics either Saturday or Sunday and be done. My abs actually almost look better right now then they did before I stated the carb load even though I have some water on them. So the muscle belly in my belly muscle filled up too.
This^^I can do 8 whole eggs pretty easily if I'm pretty hungry, but eggs are not my favorite choice of protein. I love meat too much...lol
Thanks Tommy, while everyone else is killing them selves right now or recovering from doing so I am enjoying a pint f rainbow sherbet! Oh the rigors of intelligent nutrition...
I have to eliminate dairy about 3 weeks before a showing for water in the skin making me look soft.I keep trying to convince my wife ice cream has its place.
Its milk for god's sake!
I need to get a degree in nutrition after I finish my BS now o.0 I know nothing of nutrition lol. I figure once I get my abs out I can be more lenient
Yeah dairy definitely does that, but its oh so delicious!I have to eliminate dairy about 3 weeks before a showing for water in the skin making me look soft.
"Ice cream? When the f*ck did we get ice cream"?I keep trying to convince my wife ice cream has its place.

Yah I could go back in frozen yogurt from about a week after monday (workout days).. depends on my peak... these pics aren't my real peak...I am going to continue to clean up for another 4 to 5 weeks...Yeah dairy definitely does that, but its oh so delicious!
Haha well the big difference here is that sherbet is fat free. Great for a carb load, you want lots of processed carbs that are high on the glycemic index.I keep trying to convince my wife ice cream has its place.

Yeah I don't have much of an issue with dairy at all but no reason to tempt fate which is why you didn't see me use cereal in my carb up or lowfat icecream. Straight up Sherbet is where it is at on a carb load. That, & low fat pop tarts are part of what I look forward to when needing to carb up.I have to eliminate dairy about 3 weeks before a showing for water in the skin making me look soft.
Pancakes and syrup for ealy in the day and then singapore noodles later, maybe some dates and stawberries...Haha well the big difference here is that sherbet is fat free. Great for a carb load, you want lots of processed carbs that are high on the glycemic index.

Last night when I was killing myself trying to get some spill over happening I was about to make a couple waffles and drown them with syrup but dinner was already made and the kids would have stopped eating to try to get involved with my waffle action. I use this sweet potato pancake / waffle mix it is off the chain! Tastes like those sugar waffle cones and makes the whole house smell so damn good!Pancakes and syrup for ealy in the day and then singapore noodles later, maybe some dates and stawberries...
Tomahawk is doing some weird cake diet look at his log maybe you can have a new dietDang it man I'm on a DIETTTTTTT stop talking that shiz making me wanta run to six flags and get a funnelcake!!

Haha I like how you refer to that. LOL It is Carb Back Loading and it works and is based on science. I am actually gonna be giving it a shot here for a little bit after this little competition is over. I will give it about a month or so and see if I can recomp to a little bit leaner with it.Tomahawk is doing some weird cake diet look at his log maybe you can have a new diet

Thanks Rick! Feeling pretty good too.Wow Chris! Looking great in those pics man. Nice job!
Thanks Brother!Awesome job Kleen! Pics look great!
You came a damn long way and look great. I can't wait to see how you look in July. I will keep leaning up but at a relaxed pace. I really don't see me doing a show this year unless it is a Muscle Model / Physique show in the fall, something I could get around 5.5-6% and be good for the stage, practice peaking a bit more and then bulk a little for a show later next year.Yah the pics have you looking more lean than I expected the clean up obviously worked very well.. didn't see that coming. I still think I came further but don't think I am leaner anymore... probably not as lean....
Thanks LTL! It has been fun.Wow Kleen you look incredible bro nice work!
Yeah love being a freak.As usual we are on the same page, slow it down get leaner rock the ****in Town for our summer look, love freakin everybody out cuz we fuggin Freaks!!! Chris, Al Ltl and Green will be there sometime this summer too.. was an honor duking it out with you fuggers It's good to be a fuggin Freak!!
Thanks Luke!Looking massive and lean bro! Your an inspiration.
Hoy fug makes my legs ache just thinking about it.Oh by the way guys I hit a major PR this weekend. Jeff was down and saw it. My highest weight for a widow maker set on squats is 245x20, this time I had 275 on the bar and the goal was 12 below parallel reps. I got to 12 and felt really good so I went for 15, it was definitely getting harder but I had more in the tank so I made a leap of faith and decided I was going for it! I was going to see if I could muster enough intestinal fortitude to finish it out as a widow maker set since it was my last set for the day. On number 18 I was completely questioning any and all rationale that had gotten me to the point of attempting this feat. I stood the with the weight on my back trying to breath for about 5 seconds and lowered myself again. Wow that was a bitch, WAIT I STILL HAVE TWO MORE REPS!!!! I manages to lower myself again and push back up through the sticking point to my own surprise. I take a few more deep breaths and lower myself into the 20th rep, I honestly have no realistic expectations of making it back up under my own power. I feel the dip in the hips when I passed parallel, you know where it changes the musculature being used. With everything I had I fired back up out of the bottom of the rep. My explosion carried me up to just above parallel, no farther, I was going to have to dig deep and fight for every one of the next 24 inches of ascent. Easily the final ascent too me more than a few seconds. Just barely moving, slow and steady, giving it everything I had I finally locked out took one step forward leaned into the rack and then held onto the bar so I would not fall. My head was pounding like I had a tympani drum being beat inside my head with every pulse. I clung to the bar for a bit and got my bearings then waddled to the sauna for a little relaxation and stretching.
That is 30 up from my heaviest widow maker. I am so proud of that. I think I may see if I can keep on climbing with the high rep sets on squats we will see. I still have to make my next program up or select which one I want to use.
Below Parallel Squats - 275x20 = FUG AN A!!!!

Thank you Gentlemen! Yeah it was a beast but it invigorated me. Well mentally, it exhausted me physically. LOL I thinks some day I will have to work my way up to 315, can you imagine the leg growth that is likely to occur trying to get there.Nice job bro! That is a hell of an accomplishment!
