Team IIFYM: Bill & Eric's Excellent Adventure!

[Ryanmckd]

Yo billy, with that pumpkin loaf recipe where it says complete pancake mix, would any "just add water" pancake mix or plain flour work as a substitute? Eats are unreal mate, workouts are on point and weight is climbing, good stuff!

[bigjimmy123]

That's what I used...you're fine.

[Bnizzle163]

EPIC EATS!!! As I get lighter and lighter I find myself lurking this thread harder and harder loL!

LOL. You and I are so alike. The deeper I got into prep, the more I looked a food porn. I thought it actually helped to be honest lol.

Billy, I don't wanna take any attention from your pics, but I thought you'd like this.

I was so inspired by that pumpkin-banana loaf, I made one tonight too. Only two slight differences. I used Banana Cream Jello, and mine's topped with Oreos :-)

I'm training in the morning, and this whole pucker is going to be my PWO meal. I'm also going to be dipping it in chocolate pudding. THANK YOU!

misc.
This one was a grinder. My hip flexors are taking a beating with this program. I definitely need to do some foam rolling and stretching later on. I'm up in the 170's! . I definitely feel like I can eek out another lb or so before increasing cals again. In other news, I had 2 clients last night with head colds and one on Monday. Last Thursday, I had 2 people recovering from being sick, among others during the week. My clients REALLY piss me off lol. I swear, each week I've had AT LEAST 2-3 people coming in sick. If I get sick again... I swear I will kick some ass!! Tomorrow will be a much needed off day, followed by bro pull day on Friday.

[adamjohn32]

sheiko was killed my hips as well, i had to step up to a rumble roller, normal foam rollers weren't cutting it anymore. keep grinding, soon you won't remember what an hour long workout feels like

Ughhhh. I've been sick/head cold for the last two days! It's killing me! I hate when people say it's "going around" but it must be! lol Epic eats kid!

I was 161 with clothes on during morning weigh ins. It was on one of those old school doctor scales lol.

[wheathins]

damn billy, so you're only up 9 pounds since your show? And that show was quite a few months ago by now right?! That's amazing... I'm up 5 after only 3 weeks lol you're reverse > my reverse

[ErickStevens]

2 Days Out

Weight

201.2 - Holding steady. I had lots of sodium yesterday so I'm not worried!

Nutrition

200/173/52

Notes

I went into the gym today and did some light stuff, mobility drills, and went through my openers to see how they felt. Everything went good so I'll be starting with 230 bench, 385 squat, and 475 deadlift. Carbs are getting cutt off at 2PM today and I'll be having my last meal early (around 5PM) so I should wake up significantly lighter. Then Friday it's time to be hungry for a little bit, only downing a swig of water with some BCAAs every couple of hours until the weigh in. I'll be foam rolling/stretching a lot between now and then, just trying to keep things loose!

[Bnizzle163]

NOOO. I'm up 18lbs from my depleted low. You have to factor in all the different variables : different scale, different time of day for the weigh ins, water, etc... At my lowest, I weighed 157.5 on my old scale. My new bathroom scale weighs 5lbs lighter than the one I used during prep. I'm 170.8 in the morning on my new scale, add 5lbs onto that to factor in how my new scale weighs and that would be 175.8 on the old scale I used during prep. Yes, I am getting teh fatz . So that's 18lbs in 24 weeks. Right on pace IMO

[Bnizzle163]

So I was at the store the other day and my gf had a coupon for $3 off any quorn product. They are a vegetarian company that makes things like veggie burgers and mock chicken patties, nuggets, etc. The products contain egg whites, so my gf can't consume them. So I snagged a box of chicken patties for 50 cents. I was definitely surprised. Best FAKE chicken patty I've ever had.

misc.
Quick workout. In and out in 30 mins. I've noticed I am very tired on bro days lol. My body is not used to this kind of punishment yet. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow seeing as weight percentage increases on squats . My hip flexors were killing me and I had a no show at work last night so I spent the 30 mins foam rolling. Definitely helped to loosen up a tad. I just pulled another pumpkin/banana loaf out of the oven and going to nom that thing after sheiko tomorrow evening . Fark yes! My friend (a fellow trainer) and I got into it a little last night about Layne Norton... whenever I bring Layne up he says "That guy has amazing genetics." or "He's lucky because of how he's built." or my favorite "Are you sure he's natural? How would you feel if you found out he's a cheater?" I told him about Layne's DL pr and he didn't believe me. I made him youtube it lol. He then started talking about "If I had those genetics, I would be deadlifting that much too." UGH was I annoyed. I'm just sick of people constantly bashing on natties. These are the people who are too lazy and narrow minded to even put forth the effort or think outside of the box. They do the SAME workout that they have been using for 2-3 years and expect different results... I did however convince this trainer to give PHAT a try . Maybe his deadlift will magically go up. But then again, he doesn't have the "genetics"

[Bnizzle163]

Don't remember EXACTLY but it was something like 250g gy, 15 g whey, 75-80g cereal, 50g banana and a pop tart and cookie

misc.
I woke up with a knot in my right foot, which is weird. I didn't know what it was at first, but tried massaging it, and it proved to be just a tense muscle. Worst place to get a knot (other than little Billy ). I rocked out some shopping this morning and deposited my paycheck. Shaweet!! Had to stop by jewel again because they have a killer deal on blue bunny ice cream. Picked up some birthday party. Yum! I've been an ice cream fiend lately lol. For some reason, I was not feeling like lifting when I got in the gym today... but about 1/2 through a fire just lit inside me and I started rockin it out. I really like sheiko and I can tell my bench is going to sky rocket.

Not much else to do today other than work on this paper for philosophy and play some video games. Hooray!

[Quelly]

its funny because in 2005 people were talking **** to layne because of his "crappy genetics", small legs, bad structure, won't turn pro, blah blah

now he's a genetic freak apparently

[ErickStevens]

I just had the pleasure of watching Layne total 1660 raw. He's pretty cool for a genetic freak juice head.

I am a wizard most definitely...but I would hardly call it "off the top of my head" since I know layne's lifts pretty well lol

Haters gonna hate!

I compare Layne to Tom Brady. When Brady came to the combine, he was undersized, slow in the 40, slow in reading defenses and making decisions... they said he would never be a qb in the NFL. Now he's one of the best. Now people jump on the bandwagon... Tom Brady outworked everyone else and decided his actions would shut up the critics.

[Bnizzle163]

It's about food pr0n time again. Nothing going on tonight, so I just dominated like 2 hours of super mario galaxy lulz.
