LOG UPDATE: 13 January 2020
WEIGHT: 242.0 lbs
Hell-fucking-yeah. I successfully completed my 5x5 goal with 6 plates on Rack Pulls today. Tbh I wasn't sure if I was going to go for that or use a lower weight for higher reps. My body felt very comfortable with no remnants of the strain from last week's fiasco so I went for it. No injury either lol!
I've injected Thrive (Blue) into my quads twice each now with no PIP at all. I noticed that a pre-loaded syringe of the old blend version that caused some strong PIP is missing from my drawer so I wonder if I accidentally shot that into my other trap. Not gonna jump into pinning that spot again though.
I went through and updated my nutrition/macro notes last night to be current with my plan atm. I've been digging the burger thing lately so I created some other meal options using these as substitutes for my normal meals. After breaking everything down the burger meals are very spot on to what my meal macros are. There are some burger meal variations based on which meal is being swapped out.
The only real notable difference between the burgers and my usual meals is a little moving around of fats and carbs. This mostly just applies if I sub out my ZOO Scrambler dish in Meal 3, but I will always eat 4-6 whole eggs per day to get their nutrition value.
Calorically speaking the burgers are a bit less than the normal meat meals simply for the fact that I don't use nearly as much sauce. Even the no-sugar added ketchup and sugar-free BBQ sauces still contain carbs and I use plenty in my dishes. Potato, of course, is still a better option than whole grain english muffins, but for a fun meal that still has good nutrition value these are awesome. I'm craving these burgers hard so I'll post up my meal plan today to give an example of what it looks like.

- Meal 1: 50g oatmeal, 50g isolate, 100g blueberries
