leg pic was in the previous post, but again feeling pretty happy with the progression. up 1 lb in 2 weeks.
 
I know I'm excited for what the next 18-24 months is gonna bring :)

On a side note, I'm about finish my cellucor Smores tub :( had a Smores poptart in 90g of oats and a scoop of Smores whey. Delicious and gonna finish it off with Smores waffles post workout

Next I finish my CCCD and then crack into one of my favs PB Marshmallow
 
Tried some of my friends, I actually gave him your code too. I'm not a fan of raspberry didn't really like it. As far as I'm concerned, best flavor proteins:

Snicker doodle
Smores by Cellucor
PB Marshmallow
Mystery flavor select
CNC select
CCCD cor-whey

And vanilla Iso-Smooth is best vanilla out imo

I really really wanna try lobliners no bake cookie but I got a pooload of protein.

I almost ordered the MTS no bake the other day too cuz it looks amazing and was on sale for like $42/5lb but same thing... I have like 15 tubs laying around.

PB marshmallow for me just isn't strong enough. It has like no flavor when i bake with it. I really only like it in shakes or for using as milk with pb cereals.

Haven't tried CCCD yet but thats right up there on the top of the "must try" list when i find some space to put another tub ha.
 
*HIT JUST GOT REAL FOLKS IT IS CONFIRMED NOW AND IT WILL BE COMPLETELY NEW AND THE NEXT BIG THING TO BE COPIED WE PROMISE

Legs power today went well but damn if I didn't have the nastiest lower back pump going. No clue where that came from but when I was doing sldl's after my squats all I could feel was my back ha. So tight I was like writhing in the car on the way home. Def gonna beg the gf for a massage tonight ;)
 
Busy day that had me eating all my food for the day after 7pm. Pwo was a monster meal of buff chx pizza, COW, cereal (choc Cheerios, pumpkin Cheerios, fiber one honey), chicken, sweet and spicy Brussels sprouts, and then my normal pre bed cottage cheese, pb, and smoothie.

Going to my families for a steeler party and some out of town friends so baking for tomorrow:
Carmel/cinnamon chip pumpkin cookies

Also picked this up and finally gave it a try

A very smooth, not overpowering pumpkin base. Light flavor that has a nice mild cheesecake tartness to it similar to a sweet Greek yogurt flavor. A hefty swirl of crispy graham cracker throughout gives you bites that are a bit sweeter and with an awesome "grit" to them for exciting texture.
 
Yesterday was an awesome chest/shoulder workout. Hit all of my numbers and was able to add about 5-10 lbs and still hit my rep targets and sets as well. Weighted dips were brutal, for that many reps. My upper chest is nice and sore. Today's gonna be an easier "pump" workout. About 60 minutes and work on my weak points. Mainly middle back, rear delt and some arms. Get in, get out, and food food food

eat all your food after 7. so much for your bro meal pattern you done goofed :)

Ha weekends are always a modified IF just cuz I always workout in the late morn and do it fasted. Usually my first meal is pwo about 1p but I came home and napped after my morning hunt and then didn't hit the gym til late afternoon.

Frankly I couldn't care less what the eating times break down to. I go by convenience anymore and just try to work my carbs around workouts mostly.
 
Pull power today. Decided instead of changing up some of my exercises after my first 6 weeks I was gonna keep everything set for a full 12 for better numbers comparisons. I've been seeing such steady progress that I want to keep things the way they're working.

Back pumps during deadlifts were nearly debilitating and I spent the entire workout walking around with super tightness in my lower back. Must be the prednisone that's been causing some issues the last few days as I've had some ab cramping and back pumps pretty often throughout the day.

Don't feel bad, I had to watch the steelers get absolutely throttled by the browns. Seriously. The browns. Wtf.
 
Had a nice cheat meal of some misc steeler party goods yesterday in the afternoon. Kept things in check and prob stayed under 1500kcals so it was just more of a fun food then really a big splurge/cheat.

Came home after and made some acorn and butternut squashes and carved pumpkins:

had a cheat meal but fell under kcals how is that possible? LOL
Click to expand...

Didn't fall under kcals for the day just kept that meal within reason so I would be able to eat later in the day. Not really useful if you eat 3k cals at breakfast and then have to starve all day to keep from totally blowing the day out and tripling your cals. You of all people preach moderation you should be proud ha

Why i usually have my cheats later in the day. I like eating 2000 kcals right before i go to bed because i sleep like a rock. Even if i exceed 4000+ kcals a day, so be it.. If i had them earlier i would be stuffed silly, at least i can sweat some of it out overnight because i usually am sweating buckets during a cheat meal.

I hear you on the eating late for sure. Most days 3/4 or more of my cals are dinner and pre bed but you can't plan around events so a 1pm game doesn't really work for a "late" meal.
 
Eat light before
eat big at 1
eat light later. No biggie Just make sure you get in a good chunk of protein, get some veggies/fruits and some decent fats in your meals to try and salavge some micro's even if your still exceeding your overall intake by a good bit. Who cares. once you get back onto the diet the next 6 days it will be gone in 1-2 days anyways.

Metabolism into overdrive!

People who are afraid to eat, will never experience the true aspects or full potential of their metabolism.
That is the problem with most of the fitness industry and thinking they have to do the slowest kcal bumps ever, and need to be "Lean Gaining" when in reality they are spinning their wheels.
 
Legs are pretty sore, so I'm gonna increase the amount of HBCD to 60g intra for leg days and for all days when my next carb/kcal increase occurs.

Also been dealing with some pretty bad arch/heel pain. Beginning to feel like the beginning of plantar fasciitis. Getting a massage tomorrow so I'll ask my chiro to look at it. Been trying to loosen the fascia with a lacrosse ball and stetching my calves more as well.

Finally, getting an MRI today for the pituitary just to make sure everything is fine there. Bloodwork shows everything is normal in that regard, but Dr wants to be 100% sure. I've had countless MRIs on my knee and elbow, so I know what to expect but when the nurse called to confirm my appt yesterday she did sag "dress comfortable, because this type of scan usually takes awhile"

Hopefully it won't be too long

I just had another done last week, this time I didnt secure the ear plug well enough HUGE mistake lol drive those things in good

Sounds like a screeching jackhammer for head scans
 
Legs hyper yesterday. Was really feeling good again especially considering I haven't taken an off day in over a week now. Really I don't even feel any semblance of need for an off day at the moment. I think I've hit a calorie setup and eating schedule that's fitting my training well enough to keep me fueled and recovering.

I've been feeling a little soft this last week though so I'm gonna keep cals at 2600 again this week and maybe bump next depending on my look and feel. Probably gonna move some workouts around too so I can go up to my hunting camp for a bit this weekend and shoot and get some of my tree stands cleaned up. Thinking I'll keep skip my off day thurs and just take sat off instead.

Do you foam roll/rumble roll or dynamic stretch? That would aid recovery far faster.

i foam roll every night before bed and stretch. i actually nailed every trigger release point in my quads last night so i feel lose. just bit of doms. also running ArA and Magnitropin, so the ArA could be taking its effect
 
What do you guys suggest as a good taurine dosing protocol? I'm still ahving these back pump issues and i've been reading around a bit and it looks like people are doing anywhere from 3-5g pre workout mostly but it would seem that this would have less of an acute effect for something like back pumps?

I've seen people go up to 8-10 grams. Spread the doses throughout the day.
