Very tired by the end of this. Might have a training partner, if my schedule solidifies. This guy is a former college football player 5’9 220 and solid. My best progress ever was with a lifting partner, I hope this works!
Diet is going well body weight has been steadily climbing 242. Much leaner than I have ever been at this weight, strength is better than 1 year ago at 270.
I’m currently eating like this
60 grams protein/50 grams carb/30 grams fats for meals #1-#5 (only counting main macro from source, i.e. PB just counts toward fat, Ezekiel bread counts toward carb, chicken counts for protein)
5 whole eggs for meal six
60 grams whey + 1 tablespoon of EVOO for meal seven
