Heavenly hash??

Ice cream flavor, not the tar like / oil stuff

 

[snagencyV2.0]

Nothing like downing a box of turtles and a container of heavenly hash...

yeah that heavenly hash stuff can certainly make one demolish a box of turtles all right
I've heard of "bag" and "lid", but not sure I've heard the terminology "container" before..

...wait - what are you talking about?
of course we were talking about the ice cream
sheesh, man .. where is your head at?
damn Canadians..

 

[Montego1]

I can also put down one of those entire frozen pies with a pint of ice cream no sweat. Basically I can eat without ever stopping if I want.....but no more!

Bag or lid to me is only there to be thrown away......won't ever be used once it's open in my case lol.

Blue Bell-mint chocolate chip. Or Hershey nuggets-(almonds).

Oh yeah!

 

[Johnold]

Here at the movies watching The Amazing Spider-Man 2. WITH my almond nuggets.

And my MASS 550. So it can incinerate this junk food chocolate I'm eating. With the gf having a good time.

Today needs to be a clean day.

Movie was great.

Now today needs to be high protein, low carb.

 

[wasme]

You guys are lucky to be able to workout.

I work out at work. Cause we have a gym on site for employees. I use my hour lunch. I'm off today bored and with tons of energy.

That sucks, I used to work at a nuclear plant and we had a real nice gym on site as well but I never used it cause I had a gym membership. That was before I got serious though. I would use both now. I was just concerned about getting the fuk out of there cause I would work anywhere from 10-16 hr days

Yeah I understand. It's nice to be able to walk to the gym to and have an hour lunch.

Convenient. But I live an hour away from work.

Go for a run. Or do some body weight exercises, ie.. jump squats, v ups, pushups.. and so forth.

Don't know if it's in ur budget but a trx , or anything of that nature , makes a great at home trainer w/o the big expense of weights

I have a rip60 that I got at target on clearance for $20. Well worth it!

 

[wasme]

That was a sweet find

 

[Johnold]

I plan on buying a bench that declines, inclines and flats with an EZ curl bar and a set of dumbells with weight plates. That can fit in a small area and alot can be done With Just That.

Gonna get a ton of 5 and 10 lb plates to stack on those dumbells. And maybe a couple 25 lb plates. Maybe 45s.

 

[wasme]

For sure. And a tip... hit up yard sales... for weights, maybe not benches...

 

[Johnold]

Yeah. DICK's sporting goods sells decent stuff. I'm in the process of saving for Olympic weight plates and curl bar and dumbells etc. They have a single diverse bench that is flat and can incline and decline .

If I ever won the lottery I'd build a 200K gym.

I second that

2 tbsp salsa
2 slices provolone
Hot sauce.

[gymwrenchwv]

HOw did you find the banded pull ups?

Didn't use the bands on the pull ups. Just the good mornings. The fat boy in me enjoys the fact that I can do regular pull ups way to much.

Watch Craigslist. I picked up an old Olympic bar with 310lbs of plates(York) and 50, 60, 70, and 80lb sets of dumbbells(York) for $125 on Craigslist 2 years ago. I keep looking for 90 and 100's but haven't found anyone just selling those cheap.

Dang. That's a deal

 

[Johnold]

Yup. I'll keep an eye.


Cause I'd love to do some lifting while on off days.

 

[turff49]

Yep, picked them up right south of Wilmington NC.

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Mmmmmm.....chocolate peanut butter swirl protein. Just had my first shake. Good stuff right here fellas.

Nice!!!! I'm glad you like it!! You deads were awesome man, that's some great weight!!!

 

[gymwrenchwv]

That's the most I've done in a long time. I maxed 365 but that was in a trap bar. Which is the same but different if that makes any sense. I might have gotten a full pull at 335 if I hadn't preloaded so much but might have don't count lol.

 

[pete8407]

I haven't tried a max dead in a long time, I think I'm due

 

[gymwrenchwv]

I don't do it to often. On any lift honestly. They are good for bench marking pr's and some bragging rights. I don't think it's a good representation of overall strength though.

 

[RegisterJr]

The hell is up with tspn-ing black beans? That stuff is too good. Ida have to have dropped an egg to add more. Also, what kinda wrap is that?

I haven't done that great with deads in a long time either. Hit 400 last summer, an don't think I've even attempted +365 (and have failed on a few occasions) since.

Fortunately you aren't aiming towards PL.

At least not yet.

I've never tried it on the trap bar. Work different muscles?

Not having a partner makes this difficult. Except for a wild hair every now and then on squats, I never try and 1RM. Even then, I put in a weight I'm usually confident that if I fail it's because I didn't hit parallel an not because I just crashed.

Scared, maybe..

Nice session bro.

Tbsp black beans keeps me at my planned macros. I would gladly eat more.

Some sort of flax seed blend. I forget exactly though.

Trap bar uses legs slightly more. At least for me. And just the hold in General is different.

I agree 100% on the no spot thing. I know my bench would def be higher. Possibly my squat.

 

[Johnold]

I really enjoy how MASS 550 keeps the muscle full. Plump and full. Solid.

 

[gymwrenchwv]

Well didn't have much to post today. Busy doing a lot of things. My first "off" day in a long time. Not one foot stepped inside a gym today. Supps right on par as well as food though. Back in the gym for a heavy am chest session

Well good to see you actually let this rest day happen! I remember the last, you just couldn't do it lol

 

[Johnold]

I need to up my protein intake.

I need an isolate or blend.

Just made egg beaters egg whites with pulled apart Hillshire farm honey ham deli slices and PAM spray in the skillet for quick clean proteins.

Unless it's for post/pre workout purposes grab a good blend. Isolate is just too expensive to justify using it any other time then peri workout.

Well yeah I'd MUCH rather have a blend.

I like trutein. 65-80 dollars isn't worth it.

 

[Johnold]

I like both fast and slow digesting proteins.

 

[turff49]

I just got the Elite fusion for like $31 for 4lbs. Seems to be a good blend. I normally buy Trutein when I can get it for $50 on sale. The oxyelite protein has been running on sale at NutraPlanet for $20 for 2lbs. Pretty good blend also.
