Yea for sure, huge respect for him, seems like the nicest guy as well.
With regards to making them hard, they’re already hard a basic level for me, but that might be due to the fact I do them once hate them and don’t touch them again for a year, then repeat that cycle, maybe some dedicated time to them would help (probably should given that I’m forced to do 10 mins of hard conditioning every session!).
Another shake in a couple hours, just protein and water, then dinner will be turkey meatballs with some easy frozen vegetables that I can just microwave (carrots, peas, green beans, cauliflower). Little bit of soy sauce and sriracha and I’m golden.
@T3hPwnisher ventured into muddy waters - aka tried PB fit and greek yogurt together for the first time. Definitely like a healthy ratio of PB fit to yogurt, otherwise the yogurt taste is pretty overpowering. Was pretty good - definitely a great high protein, low everything-else snack.
It’s obscene how much I look forward to it every morning. To get the ratio right, I use a protein scooper for the PBfit. That said, I JUST pulled the trigger on a pure peanut flour (only ingredients peanuts, no palm sugar or salt) so I’ll see how that goes. If it’s gnarly, I’ll throw in some monkfruit/steevia.
Although I’m also so depraved that I lick the leftover greek yogurt off the measuring cup, so my tastebuds are most likely gone.
I use greek yogurt a lot - any time anything would be good with sour cream it’s gonna get greek yogurt instead. Can’t really taste the difference. Plus, just with some cut up strawberries or blueberries it’s delicious. Great neutral medium. It’s at the point where flavored yogurt is unbearably sweet. With enough ‘training’ you can really alter your taste buds. I could not STAND the taste of diet soda, and gutted through the zero cal stuff enough that when I accidentally had a sip of a regular pepsi the other day it was horrible.
Breakfast was PB fit and greek yogurt. One day, and it’s grown on me. Plus, the PBfit has 8 grams of protein per 2 tablespoons and the greek yogurt has 16 grams per 2/3 cup. Damn.
Off to the gym for “repetition day”, which just means fun for me and pushing to failure.
@T3hPwnisher myself and my eldest can just autopilot on a jar of peanut butter. Most peanut butter isn’t too bad, but some of the more sugary/fatty types can really add up after 30 spoonfuls.
@ChongLordUno yeah, I used to do blueberries/strawberries/a bit of raw honey with it, amazing stuff. You’re a brit, aren’t you? My friend’s family owned an Indian restaurant when I lived in Bristol, and some greek yogurt got me through some friggin’ spicy curries. Also good to coat the chicken in seasoned yogurt before cooking. So many uses!

Everything was slow, making not-so-heavy weights difficult but super effective, muscles were super pumped.
Need to go shopping and get more protein so had to use a 40g Muscle Milk shake (non-dairy). Not bad though - 3 grams fat, 6 net carbs, 2 grams sugars, 40g protein, 220 calories. Just expensive or I’d drink them more often. Planning on something stupidly high protein in a little bit, but have some schoolwork, and then last minute registration stuff for my son going into kindergarten first.
Tomorrow I have a bunch of stuff to do and I wasn’t sure if I’d get the workout in, so I did it today. Definitely could have used that second day of rest, I really didn’t realize my triceps were sore til I started warming up, and then my shoulders were SUPER tired from boxing yesterday. Nothing miraculous happened.
Captain’s Chair leg raises, 10# db between legs, 4x15
Good sweat, not a terrible session, but everything felt heavy - tomorrow would have obviously been the better choice but I can’t guarantee I’ll get to workout at all, so it is what it is.
