Anyone ever try INBars?

They go ham on letting you know it is Organic and Vegan. I found these in a little market near where I live. Gave them a shot. They aren't bad.
I don't care about eating organic or vegan, but I picked it up just for the moderately high protein and high fiber. They are pretty low calorie (~150). They seem to be made primarily out of brown rice.

Eating a cup of lentils and two chicken breast is a lot more difficult than I thought. The chunks of chicken overwhelmed me. Those lentils are hearty too. Hell, even the protein shake got me too. Would have never imagined I would be eating this much to lose weight. Luckily I'm clocking in hours at the gym!
Isn't it alright to pretty much each whatever (as long as it isn't bad for you) as long as you meet your daily requirements in protein, fat and carbs? Plus calories and working out.
Word, those are fighting words he's using.

EviLore, while you are here I wanted to ask if you would be willing to back my YouTube channel. I will be heading to different gyms across the US and lift and then partake in a PWO meal at a famous eating establishment. It will all be recorded. Lift and Eat with the Medium Sized Guy.

That is the most important stuff yah. I am not saying vegan/organic is better for you. I just found these protein bars for the first time, that just happen to be vegan/organic. But I got one mostly to help get a little bit more fiber for the day. They taste pretty decent.

Woohoo!
Finally found a UK site that offers pick and mix on Quest bars. I can finally try all the rest that I wanted to try without risking buying 12 of them!

They have a bunch of other pick and mix / sample size stuff in there too.

I'm partial to Rise's Almond Honey protein bar (when I'm not eating Quest bars) for "all natural" bars. Not as much fiber (4g), but more protein (20g compared to 11g) and just 3 ingredients: whey protein, almonds, honey. It's a higher calorie bar though (280 cal).

Cooked up about 3lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast tenders last night to use in various things throughout the week. Going to make a big effort to eat clean for the next 3 weeks before I go Californee way (SF to San Diego) for my vacation and food attack mode.
Sea food coma is highly probable.

Haha. Me too. I believe mine originates from a thread where I repeatedly stated how fast I used to be.
oh god the subtlety of this scared the shit out of me

I have these weird issue when I do certain exercises that involve the upper body. I notice it mostly with pull ups. When I'm just hanging there on the bar limp prior to actually doing any pull ups, I have some slight discomfort in my lower back. I wouldn't really call it pain, more like tightness. What do you think this could be?
Brolic Gaoler

Probably just a weak low back, but without a video there's no telling. You could be hyper extending or any number of things.
I assure you, the only wieners I put in my mouth are Nathan's Famous!
I just accomplished the single hardest thing I've ever done in a gym. I'm so pumped full of adrenaline right now guys. Seriously. I feel like how I used to get before a fight.
Just finished deadlifting 495x1x10. Wow! Sets 4-7 were a complete mind fuck. I kept going back to Brolic saying how hard and mentally tough his 1x10 sets were. How you find willpower deep down that you never knew you had. On a cloud right now! Feels even better that I was 177 this morning. Totally feel like a 530 max is mine too. I'm doing this shit!

Thanks FitGaf OG! It was 10 sets though.
Thanks Levi.
I didn't want to take 10 videos Brolic.

Ahh, you did the 10 singles. Yeah, that shit is brutal. That's the mini cycle I'm on right now.
Nice work bro.

495 10x1
At least for me. Weight, sets, reps.
That would have been awesome, lol.
Your deadlift max will assuredly go up next time you deadlift. And your ability to grind just increased.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a decent (dumbell) bench? I'm in the UK so I probably wont be able to get some models, but at least I can see what people generally say is best / try to find something close.
Thinking about grabbing this one at the moment as it's cheap and cheerful: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000N3T0S2/
Though I'd consider paying more for better.

Got it. Thanks. I absolutely feel that this just helped my max. Gonna take it light next week and give it a run. I definitely feel that I should increase my warm up sets leading to my max in both quantity and weight. After set 6 I really got in a groove and it felt easier. Completely surprised me but it happened.

I'm so disappointed there was no tag change for this. I expected greatness.
Anyway... been a rough week for me. Felt pretty sick all week, busy with school/work, not enough sleep, eating badly, missing gym time. Getting back on the horse tomorrow morning. Deadlift day. Only 5 weeks until my wedding, can't let all this work fall to the wayside now.

Got 6/5/5 last night on squats, 117.5 kg. Pussied out of the last rep on the last two sets (needed 4-6 reps according to Candito) but eh. 150 kg single by the end of the year plsss
Then two sets of deads at 140 kg... thought it'd be easy, apparently my lower back was complete toast after squats. Got the reps by the barest of margins, the final took about half an hour to lock out.

For you folks who use chalk, what kind do you use?
One of the L.A. Fitness locations I go to has fairly smooth barbells and it's starting to bother me as the weights get heavier. I'd love to be able to make it easier to grip them as necessary and am thinking chalk is the answer.

Damn man. I love spicy wieners but won't be able to touch them for a while ;_; wanna stay clean for at least a month so I can lose 10 pds clean (if that happens that is...)
There's magnesium carbonate chalk?!
Edit:
Guys, I can't do pull ups to save my life yet, any other alternatives to it?

Maybe something like this?

It looks like they come in 2 oz. blocks. Do you smash it up and put in a smaller container and then apply to your hands, or just roll the block around in your hands? Never used this stuff before.
Brolic Gaoler
formerly Alienshogun
I personally rub the brick on my hands and as it chips/breaks into the container I use those pieces.
I use an eco ball, but I think it makes more of a mess than regular chalk! I need to get some regular chalk.
Perfect! By the way, what muscles should I use for deadlifting? Never felt I got it right, like most of the strength is coming from the back of my feet to my spine instead of my arms and chest.

Thanks! I'll go ahead and try that. Maybe I'll just throw the bricks in a Ziploc bag or something.
Yeah, the mess part is a big concern. It's a typical commercial gym, so I don't want to spread chalk everywhere and piss other people off.
I've seen tons of people use chalk in ziplock bags or Tupperware containers in globo gyms, so as long as you keep it discreet I think you're be ok.
It's a full body compound lift, but the primary movers are your posterior chain (your glutes, hamstring, hips) and quads. Your chest have minimal impact, and the only arm fatigue I get from deads is in the forearms. But your lower and upper back should get a nice workout.

Ohhhh, so I've been doing it somewhat right then... I need to record myself when I get the chance, don't wanna fudge up my back.
I have to ask a stupid question...
when we gain weight, it's nearly impossible to do it in the form of pure, 100% muscle, so there's always some fat coming with it.
when we lose weight, do we lose in a similar way both muscle and fat or does proper diet makes you retain all gained muscle and shed only the fat?
