Legs have become my favorite day.

Dunno why people skip them.

when i started exercising in college, my personal trainer who was a bodybuilder and power lifter, told me that what he'd do is make my leg workouts short and sweet, because i said i hated them. he gave me RDLs, squats, etc for 2 leg days a week and told me to hit them few reps but as much weight as i could move. i ended up loving those much more than the standard bro-split for upper body that he gave me (my insistence, actually, i was intimidated by his recommendations of focusing on barbell work)

do legs, you'll love it.

Chicken breasts costs less than protein bars...

Wtf. Do legs...

Protein = 0.85 x body weight
Fats = 0.45 x body weight
Carbs = whatever

Aim to gain 0.5 to 1 lb per week. Its all about the calories.

chicken thighs usually cost less than breasts and taste better and have glorious fats.
