Swol and Boone's Quest To Get Hyooooge

I would not
the owner has been to jail twice, and he refuses to post a COA of his product
He also reduced the amount of egg protein on his label too but yet the price is still the same
People have found O-rings and Rocks in their powder, and their customer service is pretty meh based off people with problems.
Not my cup of tea. I am not a big fan of MP Either, I have met Casey in person and he gave me a bad vibe by how he treated me.

Greg also (owner of trutein) would stalk the owner of Scivation when i worked the booth for them, and came back every hour asking for mike and demanding to talk to him and kept asking me to find him. Found it quite odd.

You have disappointed me Bob. I was expecting mugshot memes.

Eating today was a bit of a struggle... Timing was a mess and options were limited but I kept cals really low since I wasn't very active and wanted to leave room in case dinner options were bad. Airport food sucks.

Eat your damn macros your bulking. Yeesh.

Leeeaaann first and foremost. Plus I just straight up didn't have options to meet macros adequately. Everything is all processed junk. That's what happens when you have to fly to and from in one day

Exactly. Never want to do that again. Thus staying relatively lean is the priority.

Cutting back intake does not help either during a reverse when you can easily pack on some size and ramp up that metabolism.
Varying your intake due to activity a few days here or there will stray you from your plan of attack, just follow what you want to hit kcal wise, hit it and move on
Enjoy some moderation and continue to implement some extra free meals here or there and be social.

While counting calories is great and all, none of us collect paychecks doing so, and looking in the mirror in the middle of winter is not always going to show us walking around with our shirts off, a good time to add and fill out that frame. You better be a lot bigger than last year at the arnold :)

Just from meeting you at the arnold you are a taller guy and a large frame to fill out. If you want to add some size and strength you wont always be "Lean" 24/7, nor is it the healthiest thing for an individual to be regarding hormones and overall health levels.

Just throwing that out there.
 
I'm so sore it's unreal lol. I haven't felt this sore in idk how long. Really hammered my legs in 75 minutes of glory yesterday.

Weight: 137.2

Power Legs

5x2 Squats: 245x2 x2 255x2 x2 255x2 > AMRAP of 95x30, Magnitropin back pumps destroyed me

- Core Work -

One if those workouts where everything felt right. Mind to muscle on point, belt fit perfectly, catching breath. Focused. Just everything felt good.

Today's upper power
 
5'4" - 5'5"ish

was 155-160, then had Tommy John and went down to 130. Gained back to 150, then dieted down to 135 and around 6-7% with my coach to see how my body would react for a contest diet, and now gain train until 155-160, or for a solid 18-24 months

also dealing with hypothyroidism right now, so weight gain is taking a bit of time to find a new maintenance. though my maintenance at 147 was 2500 cals, and i'm at 2,600 now and still waiting for the scale to improve. but performance and strength is increasing so i'm happy

I feels you son. I'm taking in 3340 cals minimum ED just to maintain weight. LoL. I would up it to 3800 minimum to try to bulk more but at that point, eating seriously becomes a second job. LoL.

i'll be posting pics when i send them to my coach this friday. it's been an up and down journey bob lol just grinding and trying to get better everyday one day at a time

I'd feel like I'm starving myself at 3800 cals. :)
 
i'm jealous since I heart food lol

idk its tough with the synthroid thing as it's obviously picking up my metabolism but most importantly i'm feeling better.
 
Had an awesome workout today. Chest was still a tad sore, so instead of pushing it I stayed around an RPE of 7 and just did 185 and worked on form and technique. Rack pulls felt great, doing a much better job of activating my lats. OHP feels good too as I'm focusing on just adding 5-10 lbs each session while keeping good form. Banded explosive hammer press was rough, the pump was crazy... did a 3s descent downward and then explode up and made sure to hold the contraction. All in all I'm feeling better, getting stronger. The scale will follow just gotta be patient.

Weight: 137.6

Upper Power, Chest still sore so took it easier on those exercises

4x of 185 Bench Press: 185x5 x6 x6 x5

3x8 OHP: 85x6 80x8 x8 > 65x9 > 45x7... 20s rest 45x10

3x4 Rack Pulls: 305x4 x4 x4 > 225x7

3x10 Cable Row: 42.5x10 x10 x10
SS> Rope Lat PD: 25x12 x12 x12

3x12 Banded Hammer Press: 25x12 x12 x12

3x10 SA T-Bar Press: 25x10 x10 x10
SS> Heavy Lat DB Raise: 10x12 x12 x12
 
I'll try to get some pics up soon. Been real busy the last few days. Just leaving the allergist now cuz I've had these miserable hives/welts on my hands the last week and a half. The swelling and itching has gotten so bad the last two days I'm having trouble grabbing stuff with my fingers cuz they're so fat and swollen. Not to mention the itch... I'm getting on dem der steroids starting tonight to help clear it up. Prednisone and some other crap to help out. Gonna be a nasty few more days tho. I hate having nasty allergies.

Double edged sword. It's nice when I'm cutting, but eating enough to grow is expensive and time consuming. Especially with quality food sources.
 
I would kill for 3800 calories lol.
 
Lol it'll be worth the wait. :)

Exactly. LoL.

Friggin hard work shoving food down practically constantly. I understand why people do the 6+
meals a day thing, pretty hard to get down a large amount of food otherwise.

If I had the time, I would seriously be aiming for a consistent 3800+ daily. Right now, kind of stuck at more or less maintaining weight.
 
Finally got the flavor I created! So cool to have my name on a supplement ha

3800 is nothing...
Unless your stuff yourself stupid on oatmeal / fiber / veggies then yes it is a problem.
 
I just told you I finished dieting and why I'm as light as I am. Don't need the back sass lol I'm working my way back to where I was

First your sarcasm is broken and 2 if you are 130 pounds and trying to add size a "Lean" product would not be of benefit haha.
Thats what i meant. You need the bagel, pb, and banana diet on top of some of dat dere PROTEIN!
 
Haha just making sure. Can never tell sarcasm over the interwebz.

I hate being this light. At least I maintained much of my strength. But I know once I get this thyroid **** figured out and everything else sorted I'll be good to go

Marathon not a sprint up in here

The "Lean" was a sarcastic joke for gaiing weight/bulking bro :) easy killer.

Health First.... i know your trying to get it sorted out, but do so ASAP! even if you have to see a specalist Swole.. you only get your health once dont try and prolong if you cannot. Dieting may of not aided your health either if it was messed up in the first place, that tends to happen to people when they do diet...

Most likely dieting tipped me over. I've always had borderline hypothyroid and it runs in my family

But I mean it is what it is. Hopefully January I'll be good To go. No use in crying over spilled milk so I'm just gonna take what I'm dealt and run with it as best I can

Plus it's fun when you pull 405 and then someone asks how much you weigh, and when you say 137 the looks on there face

Puts a smile on my face lol
