holy sushi

[ErikTheElectric]

Yeah, was a pretty big PR for me.

[tdub1988]

Have just discovered the world of eating, and have found a few restuarants here in Perth, Australia, that do challenges. Have posted 2 videos of 2 challenge attempts. Any tips wold be appreciated. The fastes time currently for that steak challenge is 4 or 5mins. I know randy did it in 13mins something when he toured Australia (guessing he took it easy).

hmm wont let me post links. If anyone can be bothered the videos are on youtube, The Uncompetitive Eater. Be warned im not a fast eater haha

[ErikTheElectric]

Randy's site and channel have tons of tips on there.

yeah cheers have read them, hence why i started with the steak first then the veggies and wedges. But i guess everyone is different, next time i think i will get the veggies out the way first. As you can see it only took me 5min to get the whole steak down where as half the amount of veggies took me almost 7-8mins.

[ErikTheElectric]

So, I'm confused are you simply trying to get a better time at a restaurant challenge or are you trying to just eat a steak faster?

[tdub1988]

just quicker times in general. But still new to challenges so was just looking for general feedback. But yeah guess its obviously a case of more practise and more importantly i would assume stomach capacity needs to increase.

[ErikTheElectric]

Just work on your capacity for now.

Can't slow down if you don't get full.

Though I stopped working on capacity a few weeks ago.

[tdub1988]

yeah starting to do 2 capcity type meals a week, of boiled cabbage/ mushrooms/ broc**** then rolled oats with protein and a lots of liquids.

Failed a triple burger challenge twice now due to the size and a limit of 20mins only! Not sure of actual weight but chef said each patty is 150g, so thats already 1.35kg of just burger patties

**Edit- sorry each burger has 3 patties

[ErikTheElectric]

^ That's not a capacity meal.


Most of your training should be primarily liquid based, (it's not fun) if you want to truly expand your stomach.

[tdub1988]

what do you mean Eric? my homemade cabbage is not a capacity meal, or the restaurant challenge? The homemade one i usually aim for 2.5kg overall in a 30min window

That is not a "capacity meal" that you should be using to train.

[jdrush]

I wouldn't so much go for time with training for capacity. Especially starting off, if you have a contest coming up then train that specific thing for time.

For capacity, I would go for balls out pain. I mean it's no different than legs day, if you want to get anywhere it has to suck.

What is "lots of liquid"

[tdub1988]

so train with whatever is giving you problems? so if the burger challenge (the starches killed me) then practise with starches? I was simply following what Randy suggested on his site, as he seems to advocate training with low cal foods (fruits/ veggies and/or liquids) in order to minimise fat gain from over eating

I'm sorry. I mean IF you're going to do a hot dog contest, do some practice with hot dogs.

The starches killed you because they expanded in your stomach and killed your capacity. So just train your capacity. Eat vegetables and drink (I recommend powerade mixers) until your stomach feels like it's going to burst.

[tdub1988]

yep makes sense thanks!
I think that was why i thought that burger challege would be so easy after doing the steak challenge, i was sadly mistaken haha

[ErikTheElectric]

in order to minimise fat gain from over eating

You're in the wrong "sport", champ.

[tdub1988]

How is that?
I can see the benefit of eating meals similiar to the challenge on occasion, but why wouldnt you choose to use very low cal veggies/ liquids to increase capacity in order to significantly reduce fat gain whilst overeating.
But its basic nutrition cals in vs out. If i eat 3000 cals maintenance, thats 21,000 over the week. I find it very easy to have one day of say 9,000 cals a day/ challenge and then simple sitting at 2000cals of "bodybuilding" food for the other 6 days (with one or two days being these "low cal" capacity days). Thus despite the cheat meal/day im still at maintence by the end of the week.

And by no means am i planning on become a champion eater haha, i think to some degree like anything there is a genetic componeent to it, ie. ability to swallow chug large amounts, or in your case naturally haveing a pretty large capacity to begin with. Im simply having some fun and trying to have a go at the few challenges in my area.

I think probably attempting that burger challenge of 5+lbs in under 20mins wasnt the smartest thing to do for a first ever challenge though haha

Then why are you trying to increase your stomach capacity as you are? You seem to be taking it pretty seriously. Just an FYI: depending on HOW you go about doing it, it can carry negative consequences later on down the road. Be wary.

[tdub1988]

Its a hobby which i wish to do better at.

You train to increase your DL/ squat/ bench max- BUT im sure you realise you will never be an elite powerlifter. You do it because its fun and want to do better at it.

Im looking to get a few free meals and i do enjoy eating large volumes of food in conjuction with training hard.

Not having a dig at you in terms of PL by the way you have done a great job with your lifts, i simply saying you can strive to be better at something you enjoy without wanting to take it seriously/ further.
Now on that note seeing as you are the one with experience here, how would you suggest increasing stomach capacity for an ameteur/ eating enthusiast

[CorbucciEats]

Hello guys! My name is Ricardo and I do food challenges as a hobby... Since competitive eating isn't popular Here in Brazil I'm trying new ways to get in touch with people that do them (:

I already follow people like Erik and some other guys, I guess I'll start posting here to keep me up motivated!
