Same deal for me too flipcollar!! It’s either
A) Wife loses her mind
B) Bosses get pissed for taking past an hour lunch break
C) I’m such a pansy that after heavy squats or deadlifts I want to go home and eat ice cream and contemplate why I lift to begin with![/quote]
Ha! You fools with your wives and loving children. I’ll just be sitting here alone. Yep, just me and mah gains…

Oh it’s much worse than that. This was done 100% with instagram filters. In fact I don’t even have lats at all; that’s just the contrast setting.

Not at all, really impressive stuff :). What do you think has contributed to you getting leaner? I might be wrong, but I don’t remember you saying you’d changed your diet (I don’t picture you eating boiled chicken and broccoli lol). Is it simply the result of continued hard work and insane volume in the gym?

I’ve trained with unnecessary levels of volume and frequency for quite some time, so it wasn’t anything to do with my training; for the first time I just started paying attention to my diet.
I’m very, very lazy about everything training related that doesn’t actually involve lifting weights. So for things like mobility and diet I try to find the absolute most bang for my buck. It has to be really easy, or I know I won’t stick to it. That sounds lame, but like I said, I have no problem deadlifting for an hour and then doing 4 more hours of back work afterwards. It’s just that my drive doesn’t extend to the other aspects of the game.
So for mobility I narrowed it down to a couple simple things that I can knock out before each workout that will get the job done and are fast enough that I don’t mind doing em.
I finally ended up doing the exact same thing with my diet. I had to find foods that enabled me to hit my macros that I could actually commit to buying and preparing for an extended period. In the last year I lost 20lbs and increased my total by 40lbs. This is almost entirely attributable to improving my diet.
What ended up working for me is eating the exact same things every single day. I found things that are incredibly easy to prepare and that I never get sick of.
Every day:
large bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch w/ skim milk
a dozen whole eggs
1 pound of pork chops
5 cups of skim milk
12 fish oil softgels
a multivitamin
some extra vitamin C and D
End up being about 2776 calories, 237p/206c/108f
That’s it. Essentially just a dozen eggs, a pound of meat, and a half gallon of milk every day. I like that I get something from a chicken, a pig, and a cow (and fish oil lol, fuck all the animals). I haven’t eaten a fruit or a vegetable in ages. Not that I won’t; I just don’t see the point.
Like I said, easy. I hate doing dishes. Boiling eggs isn’t much supervision and virtually no cleanup. For the pork chops I put a pan on the lower rack of my oven and just throw the pork chops on the upper rack so the drippings just go in the pan; very little cleanup needed and no supervision. I just season everything with a bunch of salt and pepper; works plenty well for me.
I don’t even think of the fish oil as a supplement, I just treat it like food. It’s just a really easy fat source. My goal is to make the macros really simple. That’s the main reason I use skim milk. That way I don’t have to worry about something that has fat, protein, and carbs. Easier to calculate when you keep food sources to 2 or better yet only 1 macronutrient.
Awesome, thanks! It sounds like a great approach, I definitely need to stop making excuses and do something similar.
One thing that might be worthwhile adding in is some fibre. You can get sachets at chemists or supplement shops. A multivitamin doesn’t quite cover all the benefits of fruit and veg. Diverticulitis almost killed Brocket Lesnar!
Lots of sex in here. Looking great.

How does that equal up to 206 carbs? I… I don’t want to know how many carbs I eat on a training day. Fuck, I eat 386 carbs. INB4 diabetes.
Congrats on looking fucking shredded, Csulli.
Thanks dudes!

Really loving neutral grip pullups. I think I already said that at least once in here. I’m doing them all the time, and at home in my little door frame thing.
Also I have a 16lb sledge hammer at home that I started doing literal hammer curls with. I just got the idea one day that it would be really cool. Let your wrist point all the way down when your arm is at your side and then you have to pull your wrist upright and curl it all the way up just like you would with a dumbbell. It hits your forearms and bracialis way more than with a DB honestly lol. I have to hold it only a few inches from the hammer head since it’s so heavy, but it’s pretty awesome.

Yea, it’s a damned if do, damned if you don’t situation 
My wife is pretty cool about my training in general. Sometimes she rushes me but that’s mostly just on Sundays because she wants to watch the Walking Dead lol. I really just don’t have 3 hours to spend in the gym, even on days when my wife wouldn’t bother me.
