How is everyone's training going?

[crimsonfloyd]

It's pretty crazy. Like a couple weeks ago when I was still eating cereal, I was struggling hardcore to rep 225 for 7 or 8 on bench. Yesterday I got it up 12 times. And last week I had a PR on straight bar deadlifts. I'm liking this a lot. I don't drink protein shakes or anything either. Just 4 boiled eggs and some toast with peanut butter, maybe a glass of milk for breakfast on workout days, and milk and toast with peanut butter on off days. That's really the only change I made. For lunch I usually eat like a roast beef or turkey sandwich, and have snacks throughout the day.

Yeah I do eggs with kale, tumeric and cumin plus buttered toast in the morning. Post-workout meal is usually a sandwich of tempeh, avocado, cheese, sauteed greens, plus greek yogurt with dried fruit. Not really big on protein shakes either, though I do use a little hemp powder in my yogurt. But in general I don't want to fill my body with any of that artificial crap.

I religiously follow The Rock's "Hercules" training diet.

Jesus that's so much food lol.

@Crimsonfloyd your breakfast sounds pretty tasty. I just boil enough eggs for my week's breakfasts on Sunday evening, it's quick and easy. Not very exciting, but sometimes I eat them with Lawry's seasoned salt or Frank's Red Hot to spice things up.

Eggs+meat+cheese. Every day. No Gaston though

 

[wandering_taco]

Every day he eats five dozen eggs and is roughly the size of a barge. Hard to beat that.

Today I ran 5.2km with one pause and it's the sixth day in a row I was running, the first time I barely did 600m on one take. I think I'm becoming ready to go out running with some sporty bitch.

Im almost the "anti-vegetarian". I cancel three of them out

 

[damnromulans]

I'm eating more meat than ever bc the cats like it

Problem is, all the stuff I like to eat is what does the exact opposite of getting you buff. I need a gym membership for christ sakes...

 

[wandering_taco]

What do you eat?

 

[rms]

Nothing is against getting you 'buff' it just depends if you wanna be fat big or have some sort of cardio strength..

Worked out with 200 on the bench again. Slowly getting back to where I was.

Ive changed gyms like 3 times in the last month and finally got into the 24 hour fitness here, it's ridiculous that it only has 1 squat rack and no military press rack but I did slaughter my legs today adding in tire flips.

Put up 235 for 8 on bench today, I'm pretty stoked. Hopefully can get 9 or 10 next week. I gotta work on my triceps though, when I start to fail its a few inches up off my chest, like halfway through the rep.

Biggest muscle in your arm, can't ignore tri's!

 

[wandering_taco]

Well I was taking it easy on triceps for a few weeks because my elbow was really bothering me from work. I'm not doing the same stuff at work right now though so that problem is gone. Hit tri's pretty hard last Thursday, will be hitting again Friday I think. Maybe Wednesday.

I see you ignored my advice, you'll be buff when you are ready!

Shoulder is feeling good, will probably start hitting the gym again in about a week or so. Hopefully i'll be good enough to pull at my friends armwrestling tournament next month. I'm thinking about getting some whey protein powder, any good ones i should check out? I've never really fucked with any protein supplements before.

I've always liked Musclemilk Light
