Don't have access to any of those aside from broccoli (occasionally) at my dining hall
. Dorms suck (aside from the fact that they do have meats, chicken, and fish everyday. I can also only swipe there 3 times a day so my other 2 meals are usually protein shakes, nuts, or protein bars.Sure there is: don't drink beer.
Just be the designated driver when you go out. I'll still usually have one drink (rum and diet coke)
What's it like to be a grown ass man? I hope to one day know.

What on earth.
Someday I hope to do a single muscle-up.
When it happens I'm assuming that bystanders will immediately have to drag me to the emergency room to have my various ruptured tendons repaired.
Grocery shopping today. I like meat.
Also, hoping that people can help say about what BF% I'm at. I swear I have some issues seeing my own body cause I can flip flop on thinking I look awesome or that I look fat as hell with in 30 minutes of one another. I think it would help to get some outside opinion on it so. Particularly I'm worried about my chest; I don't know if that's mostly muscle or mostly fat and it really gets to me sometimes worrying that it is a whole bunch of fat.

I think that I'm probably between 20 and 25% BF but I'd appreciate any ones input. Thanks.

Shitty gym night. Put up shit numbers, hurt my wrist mildly, just a shit night all round.
Oh well. Thursday's when I make it all good again and feel too swole to control. Bad days happen. No big. Right?

Looks around 20 - 22 body fat to me. You should definitely work on your chest. Are you happy where you at frame wise? Do you just want to tone?
You guys are the best! Thank you for all the kind words!
I want to post some pictures to illustrate how one day of cheating won't hurt you much. I'm talking big time cheating of over 10,000 calories! Sunday I went crazy and after two days of fasting and getting back on track I'm back to where I was. Basically, I don't want people here stressing over one day. One day won't really do much to you in the long run. It's the back to back days or more that really takes a toll on your progress!

Woah, how long have you been working out?

Coots on dat PEB.
Can you do more muscle ups when you let it grow?
I have to shave mine off soon, itches too much.

Eh, for now I'm focusing on getting strong and big. Figure I still got a lot of room to grow there and I can focus on toning and slimming down in a few months. For chest, what are some good accessory lifts that people like?
As long as I keep the neck clean there is no itching. It might help me squeeze out one more.

damn cooter, very impressive. You look great man. I really think that you should stick to that bf% and gain mass from there. just beastly.

haha, I really don't know why. Had a salad with chicken and a quest bar. Eating clean today and tomorrow before going all in Thursday-Monday. Vegas baby.
Can't wait to try the buffet at Caesar's and then on Monday, eat at the buffet at Cosmopolitan. Wicked Spoon is fucking amazing.
Also random measurements:
Chest: 45 inches
Waist: 34 inches
Arms: 16.5 inches
Quads: 27 inches
Calves: 16.5 inches
yeah baby
OH MY GOD. Went to Vegas last year and TORE THOSE BUFFETS UP. If you can get some coupons (usually you get some with your hotel booking, signing up for player's cards, etc.) you can get pretty solid deals.
I swear I ate like half a kilo of protein on those buffet nights lol
Have fun!
AAAHHHH......fuck me, why did I just google that.
on a related note, since 2003-4 I've had a ganglion cyst on my wrist, which didn't quite prohibit me, but was a hindrance for a lot of my daily activities. Push ups were a problem, could only comfortably do them on my fists. As long as I'm in the gym and lift heavy, it doesn't flare up. I'm sure if I were to stop going to the gym regularly it would pop back up.
Wow! Coming from you that means a lot. Thank you.
lol. Someone could be doing them with both torn!
No plans to go lower. Also, no plans to add mass. If I gain a little ok but I'd like to stay here while increasing strength. I know how hard that is to do though.
Caesars buffet is pretty GDLK. Never been to the buffet at cosmos, but it's my favorite casino. They have a pretty dope burger spot called Holsteins, and a legit pizza joint which is nameless and hidden from plain view, it's just dubbed 'hidden pizza place' iirc, (it's near the pool tables on the 2nd floor past the chandalier bar in case you're wondering).

Yeah, hopefully I can some sort of discount. $50 a person. Ouch.
Gotcha. As long as you know what you want, that is all that matters.
Yeah, we stayed at Caesars last year but their buffet was under renovation. So I'm going to try it out this year. And it is a tradition for us to go to Wicked Spoon on Monday's. Their brunch buffet is amazing. And I will definitely check out that burger place and I been to the pizza place. It is real good. Drunk at 11pm nom nom nom pizza.
Also, I got my Vegas outfit all set. Can't wait!

Was just thinking about how shitty I used to eat.
Would eat a Chipotle burrito bowl (~600 calories), and then right after would crave a Snickers bar (~250 calories), followed immediately after by a slice of dollar pizza (~400 calories). Was completely ignorant of nutrition and had no idea what I was putting into my body. All I knew is I could "eat a lot."
But in reality I wasn't eating enough to properly bulk at all, nor was I eating low enough to cut weight. Was trapped in a perpetual unhealthy maintenance mode, which is why my body seemed to take forever to really change. Would never had realized it until I began tracking food. Was one of those, "It's so hard to gain weight!" guys, but I don't know about that anymore.
I'm actually really excited about bulking because if I do it right, I can't imagine not staying relatively lean. I'd just eat all the foods I eat now, only more of them. lol

I don't get it cheap, I require dat good taste.
Actually muscle pharm combat powder ain't so bad in bodybuilding.com. Cookies and cream and orange dreamcicle are dope!
taste isn't huge for me. I'm a college student so I spend most of my monies on eating clean.
I remember one summer in college I was eating nothing but Ramen and tuna.
I've been cutting at just under 1kg/2lbs a week for the past five weeks and my lifts were all fairly steady or dropping slightly and all of a sudden over the past week and a half everything has started to rise again and I'm actually lifting more than I could pre cut on every lift except the squat.
Squat is stalled and I'm feeling some lower back pressure as I get to parallel which sort of makes me stop short or not finish my set.. Thinking of switching to box squats to take my back out of the equation.
So my progress has been pretty good so far.. I'm back down to 20% bodyfat and dropping!

I take it you're bulking? Either way you likely need more protein, stuff like beans has some, but they're not whole proteins. You have some protein in your cream and the eggs in your french toast, but I see your diet as being skewed more towards fat and carbs(nothing wrong with fat and carbs in and of themselves I should add). Not a lot of info to go off in your post otherwise, you should get an idea of how many calories you're taking in and go at least 500 over maintenance if you're trying to gain mass.

I did the assessment yesterday I have 10% bodyfat and weigh 64 kg, what else do I need to add to my packed lunches
edit I ve also got access to all kinds of milk at the office from full, skim, 2% you name it
I do this all the time and actually enjoy it.
I mix it with seasoning salt, lemon pepper, basil and olive oil to give it flavor.
I'd like to get your input on something guys.
I stumbled on to JC Deen's recomp plan a couple of days ago and I'm thinking about giving it a go like I said yesterday. I'm just thinking that maybe the plan has too many carbs in it, especially for the rest days? I'd like to hear what you have to say.

Should I try it ass written or should I eat less carbs and more fat on rest days. I want to get my strength back up and make gains and hopefully not gain that much fat. Best would be to lose some in the long run. But the main thing is that I don't want to spin my wheels, I need to head in either direction - both preferably... Do you see this possibly working?

That's pretty much me numbers wise. I'm about 72 inches tall and weigh 185lbs atm. Not sure about my TDEE though...
As you can see it's a case of calorie cycling but unlike in IF for example the carb/fat ratio is pretty much the same every day. So there's no carb cycling.
