El cajon, San diego.
A normal day would be something like this-
Breakfast-
6 eggs whites, 4 yolks
1 Wheat tortilla (200cal, 20g Fiber, which is why i eat it)
1 cup oatmeal
Hummus on the tortilla
And Olive oil for the eggs
Also scramble a serving of turkey meat into the eggs, and add onions for flavor
Snack 1
Half a cup of home made trail mix (i take several different things and put it into a big Tupperware container and just mix it up))
Includes Dried fruit (Pineapples, cranberries, mangoes, cherries, Apricots, bananas, strawberries, raisins), Peanuts, Almonds, and M&Ms.
3 scoops Whey
Pre workout-
3 scoops Jack3d
During w/o-
2 scoops Anaconda, 2 scoops Surge, 2 scoops MAG-10
PWO-
3 scoops AfterShock critical mass
Dinner-
8-12 oz Meat (varies with what type of meat)
Wheat tortilla
1 slice thick sharp jack cheddar
Pre bed-
1 1/2 serving Almonds
1 1/2 serving Greek yogurt
Cinnamon
splenda
Obviously there are a lot of variables left out here. I try to base my eating off of a more ‘how i feel’ and ‘what im doing’ approach, with a carb cycling aspect. If im feeling a little tired or my muscles dont feel good, ill up my carbs. If i did legs, ill do a 1/2 uncooked rice with dinner. If i didnt go to the gym, most carby meals aside from breakfast with be replaced with more fat, mostly from nuts. I also use finibars in my pre workouts(am out atm tho).
Nice. I’m transferring schools soon and I applied to UCSD. If I get in, I’m gonna have to teach you how to lift (LOL)! That menu looks awesome by the way. Great work in here, you’re one strong mofo.

Guide me, Obi Wan!!
I could teach you, but I’d have to charge…
Was ridiculous today! I felt that too many things felt ready today, so i was ridiculous!
I went ahead and combined two days. Today was Chest/Back/Bis. I opted not to do calves since, well by the end of this workout, i had 0 energy. Part of this is because my gym had received some new equipment, allowing me to bump some weights, which felt awesome. Well, here it comes: (and OFC we know that 1P = 1 45lb plate)
Lat Pulldown (new system, weight goes up to 290lbs)- 15/100, 12/150, 12/200, 10/250, 8/290, 8/290+1P

Db row- 8/80, 8/100, 8/120, 6/140
Choo Choo (didnt feel quite as good on this new system, since it is a Belt pulley rather than a cable pulley. Didnt enable full rotation of the arm. This reminds me, i actually was so excited about my lat pd/cable row, i forgot to take vid of this mvmnt like i said i would lol, sorry)- 8/30, 8/40, 5/50
Decline BB press- 15/135, 8/225, 8/315, 6/405

BB shrugs (I figured it was time to stop dicking around with all the sets, so i dove in)- 15/225, 15/405, 8/585, 8/675, 6/765
Beat now. Walked in ready and raring, as i had just received a new Protocol in the mail. Sluggishly meandered out. Lol good day. Oh, and it was only fitting i found and wore a Donkey Kong shirt which reads “It’s On like Donkey Kong.” It is epic.

Took couple pics today. Sitting at 235 atm. Not too bad, i mean ive put on a little a fat, but i wanted to take advantage of my rebounding from dieting for so long, so it was necessary, and i have to say im happy with it. I might be looking towards and October Comp, which means ill prolly start recomping again soon, begin a true cut June-ish.
Really long shorts, so couldnt really show off the legs/calves. But this isnt too terrible of a shot for back width.
Wow looks like getting lean with stu has really paid off, your 235 right now so how much weight did you rebound after the diet?

I am 20lbs heavier than the last official day of my diet.
Akuma, you’ve seriously made some amazing progress (I remember you PMed me on how you got started). Very inspirational man. You’ve got some quality size on you. Although I have gained some good weight since I got started, it’s nothing compared to what you’ve done and it’s great motivation for me to hit a good buffet after my gym session tomorrow 
Keep up the great work
