[QUOTE=CHIBADB;1448634773]I beat my first BBQ challenge today at The Bone BBQ! My father tried the challenge with me as well, but he was not able to complete the challenge unfortunately. The restaurant wouldn't let him take out his left-overs, [B]so I ended up eating the rest of his meal as well lol.[/B] I beat the challenge in record time and got the meal for free and a free shirt.

LOL when that happens.
Congrats.

Congrats.[/QUOTE]
I just hate to waste perfectly good food (especially BBQ) lol.
On a different note, I'm planning on taking on a huge challenge next week that'll really push my limits.....don't know if it'll happen but I'll give it my best shot!
[QUOTE=gbullock32;1448147373]I meant the TEF of digesting so much food mass, even at a couple % it would still be an enormous amount of calories just to... well, digest the calories.
Just a random thought about the body and its functions is all.[/QUOTE]
I actually don't think the impact would be anything more than a typical meal in terms of the rate at which TEF plays a part. TEF seems dependent on the processing requirements of the nutrients themselves, carbs being less impactful in terms of TEF than protein, etc. So if you're eating 100 calories of protein, perhaps a certain % of those are assumed to be 'spent' calories because they automatically get burned in the process, but if you eat 50,000 calories it simply means a % of that would drop into the processing allowance... the net effect wouldn't be any different in terms of how efficiently you handle the calories... at least that's my theory.

And a sound one at that!
I'm in Boston this weekend to hang out with a good friend of mine....Can you guess what challenge I'll be taking on today?

It better be eagles deli!
Holy crap.....I can't believe I beat it in 52' 22".....it was insane!!!!
[QUOTE=CHIBADB;1449773523]Holy crap.....I can't believe I beat it in 52' 22".....it was insane!!!![/QUOTE]Nice, must have been a challenge; assuming 1 hour time limit?
I beat the Eagle's Deli challenge in Boston. It's one of the largest food challenges around and it consists of 6lbs of beef, 24 slices of cheese, 24 slices of bacon, 5lbs of fries, and a deli pickle.

Nice work! On my bucket list!
So you beat petes burger?
No, the one I beat had two extra patties and four more slices of cheese and bacon. Pete's burger is called the "Furious Pete" and is 5lbs of beef, where as the challenge had an extra pound of beef.

It was good at first, but the sheer amount of grease and sodium got to me really fast lol. This was the first challenge for me that really made me feel a significant amount of pain.

Ah, for some reason I was under the impression that Pete's was bigger. Nice job!

Yeah, the new version of the challenge that I had to take on was only completed by Joey Chestnut and Pat Bertoletti.
Thanks man! Now it's your turn to come out here and conquer this beast!
May end up going to Boston, have the inlaws up there and chances are my wife's grandfather will fly us up soon so they can see her before the baby is born.
Maybe I'll just look at that challenge from afar.
Couldn't find any good challenges in Ohio worth doing, most of them were expensive and not free or discounted. My brother wouldn't have been able to do his part for a pizza challenge.
So instead I came home and ordered a a whole sicilian at a local restaurant for myself. Waiter offered to get me a box before I was done.
That's cute buddy, I don't need one.

mad props man.
how bad was the pickle?
The pickle hate...
[QUOTE=jdrush;1449902423]The pickle hate...[/QUOTE]
The only downside to burger challenges.
I like pickles.

Cliffs:
- Hypertrophy from benching and leg press didn't start to be seen until weeks 10-20, whereas hypertrophy from curls were shown early in weeks 1-10.
- Likely due to the fact that as a beginner, you spend the early first few weeks, or months, of training learning the mechanics of a complex movement, before you can actually recruit all muscle fibers to cause hypertrophy.[/QUOTE]

The pickle was actually the easiest part lol. The five pounds of fries was the hardest part....They were brutal..
^ yeah typically fries are hard, just gotta ball em up and use your liquids!
Call me crazy, but I ended up doing another food challenge after yesterday's challenge at Eagle's Deli. Today, I took on the Misto de Pesce at La Familia Giogio which consists of an assortment of seafood on top of two pounds of pasta. Compared to the challenge from yesterday, this one seemed like child's play lol. It was very delicious though!
How often do you do challenges?
[QUOTE=ErikTheElectric;1450007993]How often do you do challenges?[/QUOTE]
Usually once a week, but I'm in Boston for the weekend so I decided to just go for it lol. I'm probably going to take it easy for the next couple of weeks though.
Ok, that seafood challenge.... hhhnnnng. Love seafood!
