Aren't you bulking bro ? Every meal is a cheat meal

 

i ate a whole large pizza today 2,240cal
256carbs 88fats 112brotein

 

Gainzz for days

 

Damn you. The last thing I needed was to know how easy it is to make fried pickles. Made about half a jar worth tonight. Gonna make some tomorrow to put on my tuna sandwich.

 

shit thats over my carb limit right there haha

 

So I tried that new Gatorade protien smoothie it was delicious. Only 20 grams of protien but it was great

 

I pulled a muscle (I think it's just pulled and not a hernia) in my lower abs the other day at work. The tenderness is even with my belly button about two inches to my right of it. I don't feel the "heaviness" in the area that is associated with a hernia so I don't think I need to worry too much. Regardless, I'm taking a break from the weights and just doing push ups/pull ups for the next few days.

 

running the race tomorrow with my thermalbak

might throw some supps in it to help

maybe some BCAA's and Citrulline mallate...maybe some pre or glutamine too

thoughts?

 

cocaine and liquified authentic hawaiian pizza (canadian bacon & pineapple)

 

Have you been hydrating properly before the race? Not a Hawaiian joke but have you had any coconut water also? When I ride/race dirtbikes in the heat I do a 50% strength mix of an electrolyte product in my camelbak.

 

I've done jack shit today but stretch, massage the fuck out of my shoulder, load up on carbs and drink a shit ton of water haha

didnt really think of the coconut water

my body's weird with electrolytes though. If I drink a lot of gatorade before a LISS workout or something I feel like complete shit

when we'd distance paddle, I experimented with just water compared to gatorade. I'd feel like shit with sports drinks, but fine with water after 20 miles or so

 

Sports drinks are shit. They're full of fake sugars and other artificial shit. My wife is a doctor and got me off sports drinks a while ago. Down some coconut water for the electrolytes. I'd bet it's not the electrolytes that make you feel like shit but the other crap that's in sports drinks.

Eat some bananas too.

 

Alright, gettin to be time for me to start bulking again. What kind of macro numbers should I try to hit? I'm not going to clean bulk, for sure, but I don't plan on just eating anything and everything in sight, either. But, if I want some pizza, I'm gonna eat some freakin pizza.

Right now, I'm at 143 lbs, eating around 2000 calories with 200 g Protein, 110g carbs, 75g fat.

Trying to hit 165 by April or May.

 

up on bananas, straight from my backyard

i used to steal my neighbors coconuts

havent had coconut water in awhile.....ill try that out

 

you're only at 110g carbs? Shit, my cutting number was around 210

I liked the IIFYM calculator, seemed to work for me

Yep. I try ot hit 110 anyway. I'm usually at 110-130. And I was miserable the first few days of doing it. haha.

 

Well we have free food again at sonic..

 

Dude...

I'd like to see you at 140-150p 300c and 100f

1200 Cal carbs
600 Cal pro
900 Cal fat

2700 on a regular day...up that by 800-1000 on a lifting day

 

Eat ALL THE FOOD!!

 

That's right! I'm trying not to get fat on this bulk lol. Got down to around 12% and wanna stay there

Does it hurt when you bend backwards? I pull that ab muscle about once a month lol. It starts around my belly button and runs down to my groin. I usually pull it doing squats. It usually takes a few days to heal for me. I believe it's called the pyramidalis muscle.

I once pulled an intercostal muscle (inside the ribcage, beside the heart) and thought I was having a heart attack. Went to the ER and got EKG'd and everything. I was freaking the fuck out lol

Shouldn't you be on FerarriWorld, then?

My fellow ecto, I shoot for 15-40% of my calories from fat (50-90g for me), 1-1.5g of protein per lb. of bodyweight (184-276g for me), and the rest I fill in with carbs to reach a 500-600 calorie surplus (currently 463g).

I'm not clean bulking per-se because, although I have a meal plan I adhere to everyday. If the fiance cooks something or we go out to eat, I simply sub a meal for something on my plan, which happens once or twice a week.

I looooooooove IIFYM, but their bulking #'s are too low, IMO. Being an ecto, I have to at least have a 500 calorie surplus and IIFYM only has me eating 200-300 calories over, which is just too clean of a bulk for me. As a matter of fact, after my first week of bulking at 500 calories, I only gained .5 lbs, so I upped it to a 600 calorie surplus and I'm gaining exactly 1 lb per week.

I'm sure you already know this, but clean bulking doesn't necessarily mean eating clean and dirty bulking doesn't necessarily mean eating like shit. One can dirty bulk eating nothing but grilled chicken and salads and one can clean bulk eating cheeseburgers…I generally call a clean bulk anything under a 600 calorie surplus. Last year, I dirty bulked from 180 to 200 and got up to like 15% body fat. I got strong as shit, but my muscles were nonexistent lol. I'm on the clean bulking train now

Ya, at the end of my cut, I was still eating 220g of carbs per day. Now, if I were prepping for a contest, I'd do some keto shit for a couple weeks to really shred the fat, but I'm not disciplined enough for that shit
