My 2 buddies I was with originally tried to keep up with me, and quickly realized what a terrible idea that was, haha.
Most people donāt realize just how much protein you can put away in one go.
Protein is the best macro because you can just keep eating it without hardly getting full. None of those pesky carbs to get in the way.
100%.
I stay away from that table as it is cheap filler used to fill you up.
BRING THE MEAT.
Iāve found a small amount of the grilled pineapple strategically eaten helps me eat more of the meat.
I made sure to channel my inner āDoc Holidayā with my buddies. They were talking about tapping out at the 1 hour mark.
āGentlemen, I have no yet begun to defile myself!ā
Our server asked if we had enough.
āNot me: Iām in my primeā
Found out my one buddy who was really gunning for it literally could not sleep that night due to meat sweats, haha.
Pfftā¦Amateur
Havenāt done a confession in a while, so here we go.
I confess that, I tried a coconut based alternative to dairy yogurt this morning. That stuff sucks.
To make up for that garbage, I have some servings of elk, wild boar, and friggin ostrich waiting for me in the freezer.
I confess I went to the gym and sat there
Motivation issues, or overall depression?
was tired and joints felt like they were falling apart
I confess that I started using the word āmoistā as a joke, and now I canāt stop. Shit.
If you donāt leave that place with the āmeat sweatsā - you did wrong. lol
Similar to how the Juggernaut has magical powers that filter out fatigue toxins and lactic acid so he has an unlimited endurance threshold, my body has the rapid ability to metabolize protein meat so that I can actually eat it until my stomach explodes, like a grazing sheep.
But like all superheroes, I have a weakness: feed me exactly 1 potato and I will combust in a pool of sweat.
ā¦wait a minuteā¦Iām not the Juggernautā¦

Eh, good enough
I confess that, even though my birthday is in October (and toward the end of it), I have ALREADY booked a reservation for āTexas De Brazilā for the occasion.
I also confess that I plan on letting Texas De Brazil handle the ābirthday cakeā side of the equation there, as I have no interest in having one. This way, the wife and kiddo can have their cake fix.
Myself? Iām going to ask the Mrs to make me a birthday quiche.
I will put candles in it.
I will blow them out.
And though it ruins a birthday wish to reveal what you wished for, Iāll wish for a bountiful hunt that year, as I confess I also got my first ever hunting permit this year and Iām mega-excited for that.
Itās a great experience. And there is something absolutely great about harvesting your own food. You get a much better appreciation for what you are eating.
Confession speaking of birthdays:
I turned 34 today. I confess I may be fooling myself but I still think i have the ability to build quite a bit of muscle (or at least replace my fat with muscle).
I also confess I have been consuming more sodium (thanks LMNT) and upped my creatine to ~7.5g/day due to high bodweight. This has the side of effect of feeling like I have a mini pump all day. I enjoy this more than I should.

Also @T3hPwnisher I am trying to figure out where to do to dinner with the family for cake day sustenance. Protein heavy is the goal.
So you already know my primary answer, haha. Otherwise, you got BBQ places? Or a Texas Roadhouse?
Iām really fortunate to have a buddy that is super into hunting teaching me the ropes. I plan to benefit our group by being able to haul the carcass wherever it needs to go.
34? Dude

White tail? Or something else?
Unfortunately this might be my best option
Donāt really like Longhorn.
Having someone to teach the ropes is great. And the drag out is definitely half the fun.
I do feel like I am on an upswing after a few years of not so consistent training/eating.
Dude, the ribs are legit. Saucessless, full rack.
And check this hack: for the sides, ask for 2 house salads, both in the same bowl, no lettuce, tomoato or crutons. This means eggs and cheese. And if cheese is off the menu: eggs. Now you have ribs and eggs. OR you can spring for a steak and have steak and eggs. Either way: a warriorās dinner!
Geez, itās on the permit I ordered but I genuinely donāt remember off the top of my head. Some manner of deer for sure.
