Maple Syrup Strength (littlesleeper)

hahahaha yea it is hieroglyphics. What ever you want translated let me know.

I was kind of thinking about this, but if mass was my number one goal I think Atlas Stones, Sand Bag Carries, Squats and Log Pressing would be my first 4 exercises chosen. 5th exercise would be eating.

I didn’t almost the exact same thing as this except with a giant set of GHR, reverse hyper and split squats. Great minds boi

Yeah a 3 way split with first half of workout strength/performance, second half bro-work is suprisingly effective.

That’s pretty much how I train these days.

Yesterday I worked with @brady888, and he provided me with a program that is a great blend of all the things discussed above specific to the equipment I have. I’ll be starting this next week and reporting back after two weeks to discuss potential changes we can make to the program for a perfect fit.

This man appears to be a programming wizard, but only time will tell…

How’s the knee doing?

It’s getting there, thanks.

I still have some pain, and tend to favour my right leg when pushing during the squat, but as long as I’m not pushing too hard it seems to hold up. I’ll be slowly increasing weight and volume and just monitor the pain.

Just in case anyone was wondering what 40lbs of grass fed, local ground beef looks like. Also bought 40lbs of local chicken at the same butcher today. Bring on those gainz!

Damn I’m jealous.
How much did that cost?

That should do you for 4 days :smile:

Well when I called, the butcher told me that it would be $5/lb for the beef and likely slightly more for the chicken. After telling him the quantity and shooting the shit with him for a bit, he only charged $3.99 per lb for all of it. I was happy with that!

That’s just dirt cheap! Man, I’m paying more for imported ground beef. (The cheapest stuff available)

I feel sorry for you sir. When I go cheap for beef, it’s under $2/lb.

Why must you hurt me like this?

@danteism Rural American living, boss. Eggs are $5.36/5 dozen, milk is $1.78 a gallon, chicken breast $1.80/lb, chicken thigh $0.89/lb.

A dozen eggs would cost about 6€ here ($6,85)

Whole milk is 4-6€/gallon ($4,50-$6,85) depending on wether or not it’s organic

Chicken breast would be around 4-5€/pound ($4.5-$6) but you can get fat free chicken chunks for around 3€/pound ($3,40)

Chicken thigh is 1,20€/pound ($1,35)

All of that meat is imported, and most of it is pretty low quality (the chicken chunks have guts and tendons in them, but hey that’s the cheapest option)

Milk and eggs are the only things here that are not imported

I’ll admit, I’m jealous

My Euro-Dollar conversion may be a bit off, but it’s there just to make things a bit easier

Yes, I’m amazed when I visit the states and go grocery shopping. So cheap. Regular priced chicken in Canada is typically $6-7 / lb. Milk is $5-6 per gallon, beef is usually $4 per lb. Our beef is almost always cheaper than chicken.

Ouch, that’s some expensive grub. Is it relative to your income? Do you make more per capita than the US or Canada?
We have provinces where food is more expensive; but you also make significantly more money to work there so it tends to balance itself out.
