Then the eagle grabbed the little 198lb man and flew away
That time frame would work for me. My cousin us getting married in june back home in San Diego so. I haven't been back there scince my wife passed away and I wasn't looking at all like myself when I was there so I really want to go back looking like the mini Jay cutler that I used to look like.lolIf you start that: count me in.
My current plans are: restart all REAL lifting on Oct 31st. Maintenance calories and weight for 4 weeks while I regrow my twigs (via muscle memory) back to their former non-twigginess, then body fat loss for 6 weeks, then 4 weeks maintenance, then 6 weeks bulk, etc, until I get to my hawaii trip in June (if all works out well) which should be just after my next body fat cut finishes up.
I wouldn't post my weights for my workouts though. Too ashamed of my low numbers!
I probably wouldn't be able to do it till spring time because I gotta drop weight and get my cardio up soon. So why don't you just spend the winter getting your strength back together and healing up and then you'll be good to goIf you start that: count me in.

This Saturday, 2 daysTime for the Eagle to cruise on in and hit that 360 bench…..how long before your meet?
Now that you’re under 200 none of the girls stand a chance beating youThis Saturday, 2 days
Cool….timed your weight perfect then. That should take one more thing off the plate to worry about, so now you can just go enjoy the competition and hit your bench goal.This Saturday, 2 days
Damn @Hyde cream of rice with honey sounds good. I've been stuck on cream of rice with frozen cherries post workout the last few weeks. I love oatmeal but the cream of rice is a great change of pace. I've noticed a lot of pro bodybuilders have been doing the cream of rice thing lately tooWeighins at 7am ET & comp start at 9am on Saturday?
You’re already at weight, just hold the course, sodium lower until you’re weighed in, then lots of sodium and simple easily digestible carbs that don’t make you feel sick. Something like cream of rice with honey & a side of pickle juice, or a bowl of rice & soy sauce, you get it. Maybe add a little fruit, a pedialyte or half-strength Gatorade with added salt, ready to rock.
Haribo gummy bears or glucose tabs while warming up if you need a top off to keep glucose levels up.
Change in plans, the strongman events were supposed to start at 9:00 and that has changed now because too many people backed out of strong man and it's going to be a bench press only competition.Weighins at 7am ET & comp start at 9am on Saturday?

+1 for the cherry pie filling, sounds good.By the way, the shake my buddy recommended was protein powder milk oats and cherry pie filling and he said to liquefy it and slug it right after weigh-ins. Actually sounds pretty f****** good lol
With respect to your buddy, because that shake sounds awesome, he clearly doesn’t know what’s optimal for hydration.By the way, the shake my buddy recommended was protein powder milk oats and cherry pie filling and he said to liquefy it and slug it right after weigh-ins.

No fucking protein powder. Your muscles are not going to fall off from doing 7-9 singles to work up to a max bench. You can have a shake when you are done before your pizza, if you somehow don’t believe the 100+ grams in a whole commercial pizza will suffice.
No milk, no oats. Lactose, fiber, wtf man. Pie filling? I know we talked about a bit of fructose, but we’re talking 20, 30 grams max. Eat all the pie you want when it’s done bro. This is about fueling the lift.
You need a carb powder you digest for real. Karbolyn, Vitargo, dextrose, cyclic dextrin, etc. Add one or two carb powders to water, and add a cup of juice or eat a serving of fruit you enjoy (not dates or anything else very high potassium).
Some people do really well oat powder (blended oats) or corn starch (waxy maize). If you have an iron gut and want them, you can add a little, but they shouldn’t be the core of the drink. Or cream of rice as mentioned, but I never do this.
Add lots of salt. At LEAST 750mg, maybe up to double that if you feel flatter. You can use soy sauce packets from a Chinese restaurant if you prefer to shoot them and keep the salt out of the shake.
You want to drink enough fluid that hunger isn’t really a concern. If you need or want to add a little solid for satiety after, go with low-fat easily digestible bar like Rice Krispies.
Bring some honey or glucose tabs like I mentioned for when lifting begins.
No amount of fat, NONE, will be beneficial to your hydration and performance consumed that close. It will only slow gut motility & thus rehydration. Fat slows/stabilizes blood sugar release, but in this context of only 90 minutes we basically just want to turn blood glucose up and keep that bitch riding high until the last benchpress is done.
So I understand a lot of the things you're saying, I definitely see protein powder not being necessary or protein in general not being necessary, but I don't understand what all the talk about hydration is for because I'm not dehydrated I'm still drinking over a gallon of water a day I never cut fluids out I just reduced them from 2 gallons to one gallon but I'm very well hydrated. I'm also not jonesing to eat junk food I'm just ordering pizza for everyone for after the competition's over it's not the carb load. Also if you don't think the oats and pie filling has any benefit I don't need to eat it later it's not like I going to be jonesing to eat oats and pie filling LOL.With respect to your buddy, because that shake sounds awesome, he clearly doesn’t know what’s optimal for hydration.

Not even gonna lie I got goosebumps reading this post. I haven't read something non gear related that is this interesting and well thought out. This makes me wanna go to the gym today and actually drop my reps to below 8 per set lolWith respect to your buddy, because that shake sounds awesome, he clearly doesn’t know what’s optimal for hydration.

That's a myth lolYou should probably avoid having sex. Lol.
Thanks dudeThe supplement you listed sounds like it would be fine at 3 scoops. You want more than 45g carbs obviously, but that’s a fine supplement to include in my opinion. No red flags and mainly perfect.
Nothing in particular you need to avoid tonight.
When I talk about hydration, it’s about being maximally capable. My wife didn’t have to cut either for her show today/tomorrow, but we still want her muscles full as hell once she’s weighed in so she can lift with peak leverage, force production, and safety.
Take your orals tomorrow by 10am if you will be lifting at 11. I would consider 9-9:30am if they won’t make you throw them up.
Good luck tomorrow man. Remember it doesn’t matter if you are nervous, how you feel, block out all the noise and any doubt and focus on doing exactly what you came to do - you have smashed 355 twice now, so 360 is there for the taking. Trust your training and give them hell!
Thanks bossNot sure if you have any ephedrine…..might be worth adding if you have it……
You got this brother, go kill it !!!
Go crush it brother! Sorry to hear so many backed out when it was a charity event...Probably not going to be online until after this is over but thank you everyone for wishing me luck.
Some of them showed up, there's at least 10 walk in sign ups that were not on the list and apparently the coast guard has guys coming. Looks like there's going to be over 25 pplGo crush it brother! Sorry to hear so many backed out when it was a charity event...
That’s awesome man……I knew you had that 360 in you….great job, now you can go pig out and enjoy.I went 315, 335, 360. I feel like I pressed 360 too quickly but they said it was good so I'm happy. My buddy's got the video on his iPhone and I have an Android so the image is going to be crappy so I got to find a way to get it uploaded somehow somewhere where I can show it. Now I'm just waiting for them to announce the winners of each weight class. Being 24 competitors total but I don't know how many were each week last because they didn't announce the weight classes you just went up when your attempt was on the bar
Ya, about that...... You were rightThat’s awesome man……I knew you had that 360 in you….great job, now you can go pig out and enjoy.
Enjoy bro….you earned it.Ya, about that...... You were right View attachment 223430
