You forgot to add a space to my name :) As everyone always does
If people think I eat great I don't.
My calories are around 2500 ish upward to 3000 and 1 cheat meal a week which surpasses prob 4000-5000 calories.
Most of my female clients eat more then I do and upward to 400-600g of carbs per day and they all range around (110-125 pounds) People are legit scared to push their metabolic limit and actually feed their body properly. Most people are too concerned about trying the new X or Y Supplement, pill, or powder on the market and don't take care of their diet first and foremost. If they actually did and stopped worrying about trying all these hyped products their results and caloric intake and progress in the gym would skyrocket.

Not singling anyone out, but its a general observation on this board, many other boards, and in life in general. Once you actually take a client or person and tell them what to do and eat you would be amazed at how capable they are of increasing their intake, making progress, sometimes getting leaner the more calories I add and less cardio they do. People are just scared to get out of their comfort zones and push their buttons.
 
I agree 100% I tell everyone diet is key and figuring out what your body responds too. Everyone is different so don’t follow some cookie cutter diet and you will be amazed at the person staring back at you in the mirror

I don't track it. It is called a free meal and moderation. I eat the whole thing and do so every week.

We don't get paid to count calories, or track macros. You don't need to count every single calorie or every meal in order to make great progress. I doubt in 5 years you will track every single item you consume because in the end is it truly worth it? Probably not. We need balance, moderation, and to understand a healthy relationship with food. Ever since I stopped being 100% anal with my tracking I Found my best progress in and out of the gym.

Now if you were the next Mr Olympia or a top notch NPC Competitor then I understand the need to count your calories and be consistent with them to a T. I doubt anyone on here will win a pro-card anytime soon, and nearly none of us are 3 weeks out from a show. Therefore I am gonna probably head off to IHOP or make a big ass burger today and not give a single F about the calories and enjoy the gains :)

LoL roger and yes ok but I track my calories and as you know I work with my coach so if he says to consume xyz I have to consume xyz otherwise it wouldn’t make sense to work with him.

On the other hand, enjoy your free meal and burger ;)

I'm the same way. I use to track calories but now I don't. Like you said unless you plan on competing, imo there's not reason to count calories to the T. I just guesstimate haha.

I have worked with your same coach
I bet if you ask Austin about doing cheat meals he would not say no

And as you know he uses them as a coach as does his clients that are in full prep mode.

Of course, I was talking about “counting macros” in regards of diet and NOT in regards of cheat meals ;)

Is there no meals you track calories of The Solution? Like Atleast knowing what you ate for 1-2 meals of the day and then being sensible about the other meal or two?

Same goes with how I eat during the week. I eat pretty consistent but vary food sources, but don't always track them to a T and eye ball a lot. If its close enough I am not stressing it.

Most people have paralysis by analysis and think everything needs to be 100% all the time. You can also read countless threads on this board in correlation to supplementation and nutrition on how anal some people get on their stacks, macros, and think so hard over the things that have such a small effect on the big picture..... Go figure a majority of people who loosen up, and have a little leeway find less stress, find more progress, and enjoy the process that much more. Not to mention start making better progress.

Truth right here. Too easy to get burned out if you’re not enjoying it
 
Day 5:
Off Day

- My quad got real tight training legs I had to call it quits after squat. Went down in the hole and went to explode up and my left quad just tensed up. Been rolling/stretching it to loosen it up and it is getting better. One of those things that flared up no matter how warmed up or prepared you are. I always take a cricket ball to all my trigger points and rumble roll the night before for around 30 minutes to really get loosened up, but just one of those freak things that happened.

Crushed some IHOP after that session:

I have not noticed any changes at all since starting Major Gains 5 days in. Most likely it may take up to 2-3 weeks to note anything.
 
You were all ready pretty lean and hard so I think you are correct about the time line!

1 Week in, and nothing really to report. I had a great pull yesterday, but besdies that I do not see much change in any other aspect the product has asked about. I take weekly pics (Posted some a few posts ago) and they look similar. Libido, Energy, Mood everything else is steady.

I am going to keep calories very consistent the entire log this way there is no deviance in my nutrition to make an impact. Some people run these boosters / anabolic and jack up their intake and attribute that to the product when in reality its the caloric surplus they make. So my main goal is to keep all factors consistent (Cardio, training, nutrition) and add no supplements and just focus on mass gains SOLO so we know truly how effective it is.
 
Totally agree about counting macros. I just make my portion sizes smaller when cutting and add in more when bulking. And if I want to have some pizza or whatever I have it and still making gains.
 
OK Now i'm hungry !!
