wtf dude, different kinds of carbs and protein have different calorie content

formulas like that are rough measurements and obviously wayyyyy off.. and those were off my head, i dont eat the same exact thing everyday

[taylorgb34life]

anyways going to hit legs in an hour just at 1 cup oatmeal with 1/3 cup craisins in it, and 1 scoop whey. breakfast was 1 cup oatmeal with the craisins, 2 cups 2%milk, 3 egg whites,3 whole eggs. snack i had 6oz chicken breast and 1 cup brown rice, and for lunch i had a 6oz steak with 1 sweet potato. should be enough energy to crush my legs :)

[NTT91]

wtf dude, different kinds of carbs and protein have different calorie content

formulas like that are rough measurements and obviously wayyyyy off.. and those were off my head, i dont eat the same exact thing everyday

carbs and protein have four cals per gram. That is not a formula, it is general nutritional knowledge. If you are eating 200 grams of carbs that is 800 calories. WTF are you talking about man? Are you counting ALL sources of protein and carbs (ie the carbs in milk, the protein in veggies and peanut butter etc) I'm not trying to be a douche bro I'm just trying to make sure you are eating for your goals :)

[dballer]

Dude hows FST-7? you feeling the results?

Looking huge dude keep it up

well i took a day off two days ago because of personal issues and i blacked out in the gym the day before, so i did shoulders and tris today despite doing chest just yesterday. I was at a water park all day and missed a meal so i was very tired going to the weights and i didnt have a partner today so lifts were way down, but here is how it went...

u surf dude? nice me too!

[Jimmasterpro]

Wow man, you have crazy volume in your workouts. I've read that we should just do a max of 12 sets per body part but you're doing more so I guess if it works why bother. I've been slacking off this past couple of days and after looking at your gains, its inspired me to lift again.

Another thing, how long of a rest time do you take? Do you lift until complete failure on every set? What kind of chicken do you buy? I'm always confused on which ones to get. I've been taking ON 100% Gold Standard Whey, almost running out, any suggestions on which ones to take? I'm also taking Prolab Creatine Mono and EAS L-Gluatamine. And How often do you do cardio? What does your lifting schedule look like? It's hard to find out your schedule based on your posts.

Oh if you have time, I posted my progress on youtube:

youtube[dot]com/jimtransformation

if you got the time, check it out, any advice would be appreciated cause I need it.

[taylorgb34life]

well ive been doing this for awhile and eat flawlessly and a lot of food so i can handle 20+sets per body part and recover faster than most and grow a lot :) i lift monday thru saturday. sundays off. i rest about 1-2 minutes between sets, sometimes less. i lift to failure on the last set of that particular exercise. i saw your vid, nice progress, especially in your tris and delts. your supps look good, i wouldnt add anything except maybe a multi vitamin. i by foster farms chicken tenderloins, their smaller and easier to cook so i do like 3-4 per serving. im in the military so i run hills to stay heart healthy in my off season like 2-3 times a week after i lift. hope that helps man. best of luck to you

No, I don't. It's not like I lift anything special... maybe one day.

:D lol, you're still in my cp, don't worry.

Ouch, I just couldn't do that. The last time I went to bed that early was when I was like 10. Lack of sleep is bad, I only get 4-5 hrs during the school. I felt like sh/it all the time.

True, I'll make a concerted effort to sleep more when I go back to school.

My lifts are really weak and I'm kind of embarrassed about them. I also predict that I'll get a lot of people flaming me... maybe. I really do want to make one, though... =(

basically it looks completely normal lol. Nothing looks weird or anything.
i stared at them for like 15 mins the other day when i got the tape off and stuff because i expected something to look off but it doesnt. there is a bit of swelling / bruising but thats normal cuz im only 1 week post op, but i actually WANT to do a competition now that i got it out of the way and everything looks great. ill prob gets some pics up when i start training again in about 2-3 weeks.
and trust me im probably one of the most fussy people when it comes to this stuff lol..

with the knee pain, try stretching your ITB, quads and hip flexors. and use a foam roller every 1-2 days to loosen them up as well. worked wonders for me.
