[matman1813]

Thanks, Matman! I'm not trying to get shredded and I'm fine with the muscle base I have now, but I still have more fluff to lose before I'm satisfied.

I'm impressed by your progress, btw.

Thanks I still have a long way to go but I'll get there. Do you have a goal weight or are you just cutting until you are satisfied?

[krete77]

anyone here use liquid egg whites for protein? Ive been drinking 2c/day. 50g protein and it's a good source too. :-DDDDDD

And no fat

Protip #34: If you cook them you increase the bio availability of the protein. If you drink it you are losing something like close to 50% of the protein. No joke. Check it out in the Nut section.

Good news and bad news. The good news I'm down to 215, and ran 4 miles in 41 mins; the bad news, I pulled something in my back on my last pull of deads yesterday :-(

Actually, if you buy pasturized egg whites, they have been heated, and supposedly they are available fully uncooked. at 300g protein/day, if I lose 25g, it's ok lol

Pro-tip from Serp pending....

I would say don't do deads for a minimum of 2 weeks, even if everything feels fine. Backs are finicky and take forever to heal.

Where do you buy these egg whites? Are they available in the grocery store? I know grocery stores are subjective to area (as far as what they carry). I've been missing my protein intake pretty much daily and am thinking of adding this to my post shake in the morning...

In for more of everyone’s near-nakedness.

Get them by the eggs in your grocery store. 2c=50g protein. Come in a carton, just make sure you get egg WHITES not beaters. beaters are whole eggs, which will have a lot more fat. Also, just be warned, you may have some pretty gnarly gas the first couple days of drinking eggs lol

Edit: I'm thinking about getting a bulk container of them, can be gotten a lot cheaper that way, considering how much I drink

Whatever floats your boat.

I think this came from Wonderpug in the Nut section..if I lose 50% of my protein upon ingestion, I'd want to rethink my diet strategy. To each their own :/

will be skipping deads for a week or 2, and a squats tomorrow, possibly pull ups, will have to check and see where pain is compared to work load...

[cunfewzed]

Hemavol review?

I liked it! I got the lemon drop flavor. Not sure what you opted for. Easy on the taste buds. It was leg day, so I saw a pump for sure, but not the pump I would have noticed for chest/arms. I increased weight today b/c I knew I was taking it. I actually put up more in squat, leg press, and quad raise than I thought I could.

I'm not sure if this was placebo effect though. I'm big on the psychological aspect of stims. I might have been able to do the weight without it. Who knows?! In short, I did like it and I put up more weight so I can't complain. Excited to try it on chest/bi day (tomorrow) Will take pump pic : DDDDDD

I took the Complete stuff intra-workout as well. Who knows what that did, but it was free so I'm gonna use it. Probably a 1 - month check-in/review will tell more. Then we'll compare notes.

I will tell you that all of these stims are annoying.

Re: hemavol

That's good to hear. I have a full-body sesh planned for tomorrow night, so I'll let you know how that goes. Chins, Pistols, Push Ups, Bridges, Handstand Presses, and Hanging Leg Lifts. I got the lemon flavor as well. Placebo effect or not, I hope it gives me something. I've been draggin ass lately, despite 3x full doses of EC per day.

I know what you mean. Cutting is getting old.

[missladyj]

I know what you mean. Cutting is getting old.

why you no bulk? Just curious. Look about lean enough imo, but then again maybe I don't know what I'm talking about

[missladyj]

And I hit a big milestone on Tuesday:

Congrats on the 50lb loss! I know that feels good. Soon.jpg

[cnh57811]

I know what you mean. Cutting is getting old.

Yeah, I'm not sure what it is really. I kind of feel like now that I'm getting leaner, mirror results should be coming quicker than they actually are. I'm probably just expecting too much, too quickly. The scale is moving, albeit slowly, which I guess is expected. It was always such a consistent gauge for progress, it's a little disheartening to see it slow down like it has. Maybe I should start focusing more on bi-weekly measurements + pics rather than scale.*

[cunfewzed]

My main goal in starting my cut was to be pretty cut by summer-time. I've never been cut in my life. This is the first time I've seen my abs ever coming from forever skinny-fat land. I want to be pretty lean come summer time, enjoy my lean-ness. Come next fall, I will start the lean bulk of the ages. Probably a year, un-inerrupted, unless I start to get groce. That's the plan now anyways.

I know what you mean, though. I threw around the idea of a bulk, but I'm too close to my goal to start going the other direction. I have enough LBM that I don't look like a complete ******* lean.

Maybe I should start focusing more on bi-weekly measurements + pics rather than scale.*

This is what I'm doing. I'm taking pics like crazy, usually once per week. I used to take them maybe once per month. Using measurement/pics to gauge progress.

The reason is because my weight hasn't moved since the end of Jan, so almost a complete month, but I'm leaner in the mirror than i was then. I'm not sure what my body's doing. Seems like I'm going against all of the advice I used to give in the LF forum.

"You must not be at a deficit then" "Are you weighing correctly?"

It's humbling.

The weight's been on too long to call it water weight, unless I'm just weighing at the wrong times. I've been staying off the scale though b/c i don't want to get discouraged. The human psyche is a powerful tool for good and evil.

/dear diary

[cnh57811]

Even though I just said I won't rely on the scale that much for progress, I will probably still weigh myself everyday just for the data point. I like logging weight every day and letting that app I have set the trend line so I can ensure that I'm trending in the right direction. *

What is w/ the * at the end of your posts? I feel like there's a disclaimer that you should be providing me with. I'll call in the Feds, mang.

haha. I'm at work and can't get bb.com/forums on my work pc (blocked). So, for longish posts, I type them out in an e-mail and then e-mail it to myself so I get it on my phone (hate typing on my phone). Anyway, when I do that, the 'double spaces' I put between sentences gets copied as one space and one asterisk by my iphone. fkn weird. I can't stop myself from putting two spaces at the end of a sentence when typing. It's a habit. I usually go back and delete a space, but sometimes I miss one and an asterisk lingers.

Both those routines have the same amount of stims. But a gym day looks like this for me:

> make sure I have 5 hours
> wake up
> take multi, fish oil, and all my other daily crap
> mix pre-workout, put on right side of gym bag side pocket
> mix Intra or BCAAs and put in center of pocket
> put protein in shaker and put in left side of pocket
> quadruple check gym bag for contents
> leave for the 50 minute drive
> 5 mins before hitting the city take Slin Sane and start sipping pre
> just before I stop at tanning salon slam back rest of pre
> tan
> cross street to gym
> add extra water to Intra
> workout and drink Intra, topping up with water everytime it hits 50%
> finish workout and change
> mix protein
> leave gym
> drink protein after leaving parking lot

Gym pocket I put it in just has a single zipper, I put them in order that I need them so I don't need to unzip all the way when I'm driving to get my pre! I wish my routine was "put on clothes, take pre, drive 5 mins to gym" but unfortunately I need to have whatever I need for a lot of hours when I go, and time my meals and chit. Sucks.

Yea thx for putting it in perspective. Luckier than I realize I guess. Didn't realize you had to drive 50 min in.
