Thanks man! This might be a little TMI, but since you asked here are the pics...
This morning after a depletion work out (really helps me a lot for these food challenges lol):

Interesting that you do challenges on the same day. What's been your rate of gain?

[QUOTE=ErikTheElectric;1452147773]Interesting that you do challenges on the same day. What's been your rate of gain?[/QUOTE]
This was my first time trying that lol. This is something that I've wanted to try for a while and consider it somewhat of a milestone for me. Call me stupid, but I really want to be able to compete at an elite level some day. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I don't think I'm too bad considering the fact that I started doing food challenges this past December. Watching guys like you and others on YouTube really inspire me and make me really want to get good at this.
In regards to gains, I've been making some progress. I know that you may not necessarily agree with my methods, but I carefully track all of my macros on my "non-challenge" days. One thing that we can all agree on is that we are all busting out butts and giving it a 100% every time at the gym!

It was awesome at first, but the sugar-overload and brain freeze got to me really fast lol. I should have picked some lighter toppings instead of getting a bunch of PB-based stuff...

Thanks man! Just to make sure that these food challenges aren't having any adverse effects on my body, I get my blood work done periodically. The funny thing is that the only time I had a blood test with not-so desirable results was before I started doing food challenges. When I first got into my maintenance phase after mt first successful "cut", I underestimated my TDEE and ended up getting too lean. I felt a little off at that point, so I went to see a doctor and found out that my hormones were somewhat out of whack. Once I found out about this, I immediately upped my intake and got everything back to normal in no time.
-
[QUOTE=CHIBADB;1452103673]Yeah, but the only grocery store in my hometown only sells the basic flavors. After living in Japan for two years, I was even surprised to see that they released the birthday cake flavor lol.
On a different note, I tried and beat two challenges back-to-back today after a two week "hiatus"...I will share all the details once I get back home![/QUOTE]
Dude, I'm gonna be in Virginia Labor day weekend for about 5 days. If you're willing to meet up for a pizza challenge, I am.
We'll be in Lexington.

[QUOTE=muruku;1452172253]What's next on your agenda? Will you be going back to Japan?[/QUOTE]
I'm thinking about trying some of the larger challenges in the US, such as the Big Fat Fatty and the Southside Six challenge. As a long-term goal, I want to be able to compete on stage at Coney Island for the Fourth of July.
I would love to go back and live in Japan again at some point, but I don't see that happening any time soon. I have a much better paying job here in the US and don't see myself quitting this job for a long time. I will definitely be going back there to visit there though, plus I have to get my revenge on the curry challenge that took me down lol.

Wife and I are planning a route 66 trip next summer. Found out that the Big Texan in Amarillo, Texas is right along the route. I'm going to try their 72 oz steak challenge, I think I can pull it off now but it comforts me to know I have a year to expand.
Going to be nowhere near Molly, but I'll be happy to win.

You should have no problem completing the 72 oz steak. It's probably about 5-6 lbs total and you have a one hour time limit. I don't think any of us would come anywhere near Molly's record though lol.

[QUOTE=ErikTheElectric;1451869753]Probably the most random thing I've heard all day. LOL[/QUOTE]
old, post but I haven't been on in a long time. I have a buddy that Tweets out on "Bell Let's Talk Day" for every retweet of his #BellLetsTalk Tweet he will eat a______. Last year he ended up eating like 250 Quaker Chewy Bars lol (though not for speed, and he is NOT an "eater")
ps. for those who don't know, its a day where "Bell", a phone company in Canada, not sure if elsewhere puts on that for every text sent on that day on the Bell network they donate money towards mental health. its only like $.05/text but it all adds up

So tomorrow is going to be QUITE interesting (I figured I'd post it here since this is the official thread)
Going to be filming my latest "series" called "restaurant trolling". Essentially I'm going to be going to a BBQ place, telling the servers that my family is going to meet me and that I'm going to need a substantial amount of food.
Long story short, I'm going to order a bunch of wings, ribs, fries, etc and go to town and film mainly peoples reactions.
Hopefully will be quite fun!

I love getting responses from the servers. But I just straight up order the food, however I likely don't order as much as you.
Had a waitress once say she wanted to have boys until she saw how much I ate.
It's always only the women that say something, my wife thinks it's because I emasculate the men.

Haha, that's awesome. When I always do a challenge, I always act as if I'm unsure of myself.......except for the ginormous challenges like Eagle's Deli; I'm really unsure of myself then lol

My current work schedule allows for me to do it, but I won't be able to travel as often in a few months. I'll give you all a hint regarding my question: the restaurant is owned by a competitive eater.

Bingo! It's an 8-9lbs sandwich called the Bearwich and I just beat it! Got $500, which definitely makes this trip worthwhile!
I'll post the pics once I get back home.

The one I did was the Bearwich, which was suggested to me by Geoff Esper. The Bear challenge is basically a ten minute food face-off with the Bear himself!

I would love the Bearwhich because I love anything Carolina style (cole slaw on top), but not a real big fan of mac n cheese and my stomach can't handle the really spicy stuff anymore. I blame my medication for the stomach, gonna talk to the doc and see if we can switch.

Honestly, the Grizzly sauce isn't bad at all. When they first told me that it was a ghost pepper/habanero sauce, it scared me a bit (extremely spicy food is my Achilles' heel). It was actually not that spicy at all and was a good blend of sweet along with a bit of twang. The mac & cheese and bread were the worst part. I don't mind mac n' cheese, but two pounds of it a bit much for me lol. Just be aware that this is a really difficult challenge, and it was only completed by Geoff Esper and Jamie McDonald before I did. From the challenges that I have taken on so far, I would say that it is on par with the 12.3 lbs ramen in terms of difficulty.

I can handle spicy, I've been eating spicy food my whole life. Used to put 2 habaneros in my salad every day.
It's just suddenly out of nowhere in the past 5 months if I put too much sriracha on my eggs then my stomach is funky all day. Whether or not it felt spicy.

Ah man, that sucks. I hope you can get that worked out.
On a different note, can you send me a PM either on here or YouTube if you're still interested in doing a pizza challenge? I'm going to try to work all of the details out for the challenge here in the next month or so.

This is fun. It's the only article I found about it, but maybe some time it's worth a try to keep a little piece of chocolate with you and see if it works.
