Geezus you’re beautiful! Oh, I mean, strong. Same thing. 
yes, bring on the porn! 
I’m not a veggie, but sure can put em down!
How many pounds a day do you think you go through? I WISH I was confident enough to wear shorts like that to the gym…you GO GIRL!!
I like your reasoning…similar to mine Especially because I HATE cardio too…unless its not forced. Like, hey lets go on a bike ride…or, its a nice day, think Ill go on a hike…stuff like that.
cardio haters!!! nothing feels better than sprints!!! (afterwards)
aahhh, I think you’re just secretly waiting for a PL contest to blow some of these chicks out of the water ! Your glutes and lower half look soooo powerful! I bet a 4 plate squat is not too far a reach.

Hear hear!
Veg, you kill it in the gym harder than 90% of the male population! A 4 plate squat isn’t far off at all.
I’ll put in my vote for veggie food porn. I know I need to eat more leafy stuff so I’d like to see what you eat so I can take some pointers from you.

And I think I would know if I was losing muscle or getting fat. Fortunately for me I seem not to be predisposed to either of those things. [/quote]
Mesomorph soulmates.
I’m not really into body type labels though, but that label is pretty obvious with our height/weight and body comp.
Anyway, yes take us on a journey of the wonderful restaurants you eat at in Joisey. And the foods that cause controversy, i.e blueberries.
I dig your rational for GVT. That’s pretty much how I feel about 5-3-1’s BBB template. Where on the Jersey shore do you go? True Jersey shore–ie north Jersey or are you a south Jersey/Philly girl?
My parents retired down in Avalon. South. But, I grew up in North Jersey. My sister was once asked what it was like NOT to be Italian.
Your awesome Veg! I love the pics and think you look great - keep after it
I’d like to know what you eat once in a while for inspiration
Alright. Today was a strange day. Good news: I woke up and not only could walk, but I could get on and off of the toilet with little difficulty. Y’all know what I mean. Anyway, I generally only do some paperwork in the afternoon and the weekly staff meeting thing on Tues, so I slept in a bit. Drank a bunch of water, some green tea, and a 2 servings of Humapro. Go google it if you want to know what it is, basically pre-digested essential amino-acids AKA stuff ready for protein synthesis in the body. Lounged, read logs. Got a couple of texts from the office that the Tues receptionist was sick, strep throat. Finally got confirmation close to noon that I had to work. Whatever, I’m not used to running the desk and seeing patients at the same time, but I can do it. Showered, put some liniment on my tight lower back. Got dressed. As I was making the bed I managed to fling the not-quite-closed bottle of liniment across the room. Splashed on my pants. Nice, found a suitable pair that my legs/ass just barely fit into (wide-leg style WTF?). Drank another 2 servings of Humapro. Off to work.
Here’s what I ate in the car/closet AKA “my office” within the office during the afternoon:
a quart-sized bag of raw kale, 1/2 container of blueberries, 3/4 cup mixed almonds (roasted/salted), walnuts (raw), pepitas (raw), 1.5 whole grain oatmeal raisin cookies (there was 1/2 left over from yesterday, still in baggie), 3 oz of 1.5% milkfat cheddar cheese, a banana
Work wasn’t too bad. I love what I do, truly. Done around 7:30 pm, drank 2 more servings of Humapro and then a cup of black coffee with a shot of espresso while I drove to the gym. Trying not to be a coffee snob. I only drink it for therapeutic purposes, like before I train sometimes.
Training: back/arms (triceps mostly)
DIdn’t do a long warmup because I’m pretty loose after working for a few hours. Little stretching and got right to it.
BB bent over row @ 90, rest 60 sec between sets: 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 9, 8, 8, 10, 10; 95 reps for 8,550 lbs total lifted
Rested about 3-4 minutes.
BB standing OH triceps extension @ 48, 60 sec rest between sets: 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 9, 7; 96 reps for 4,608 lbs total lifted
For “accessory” work I did some CG pullups to hit the biceps, etc: 4, 3, 4, 4
Some stretching and yoga stuff, tractioned my spine by laying over a swiss ball for a while. In and out of the gym in about an hour.
Home to eat. Here it goes:
While I was cooking: some almonds, about 2 oz of reduced-fat cream cheese and a wedge of processed light swiss cheese (gran on Weight Watchers so this was in the fridge) on some yuppie gluten-free seed and rice crackers.
Dinner: Big bowl of whole wheat penne with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese, big bowl of steamed and lightly sauteed broccoli with olive oil and garlic.
For dessert/so that I can sleep during the night and hopefully not get up to eat: a shake with 1 cup skim milk, 2 scoops vanilla pp, 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder, 1 heaping tbsp of peanut butter, some ground cinnamon.
I’m currently working on a glass of bourbon. There is a half-bar of dark chocolate with chili on my nightstand that will likely be consumed sometime before morning.
thats a lot…do you mainly rely on dairy for your protein?
I eat more veggies than you 
That’s a lot of sets. I don’t think I’d have the patience for that.
Nice photos. It’s frustrating because I have a similar amount of fat on my upper body but the hips, thighs and glutes are a disaster. Damn you, oestrogen!
heh. not really a ‘dirty 30’ more of a growing awareness of how my emotions / motivations which i always thought were inexplicable are cyclicly predictable. actually fairly scary for me to see just how much so. i love it how you go to bed with good chocolate. and now i’m hungry…
Hey Veggie, could you give a quick review of humapro? I read about it but would like to hear a user’s view on the product.

Matty- The stuff tastes good. Bought the Apple Cider flavor. Been on it for only 2 weeks, but I have not taken as much pp and haven’t had any noticeable strength or muscle loss. Good stuff from what I can tell. It has been a nice addition to the other proteins that I consume. I really like the idea of it… protein building blocks specific to human needs, but a fraction of the calories. Selfish, in a way, but I like to chew my calories. (With the exception of whisky.)

Depends on the day, but protein from eggs and supplements and gasp occasionally from soy(!) are big for me too.
As far as the veggies… I challenge you to eat a packed quart-size bag of raw kale. That is a shitload of kale. Also, probably about 3 cups of cooked broccoli. Just wait til CSA starts in June. I eat fresh, organic produce from a farm IN MY ZIPCODE and the daily volume is ridiculous.
Seriously, kudos on your veggie intake. People tend to not eat nearly enough.
I’m up for the challenge!
I’m having a head of cabbage w/lunch
Veggies FTW!!

1000% Agree. Few things give you bubble ass like sprints.
