I’ve been following your lifting for a very long time man.
Will be following.
Do you still do the “puppy shit” shake and slam all those eggs?

I know we’ve talked some in the past…thanks.
Well, I do a modified puppy shit sort of these days…instead of just peanut butter, protein powder, honey and sometimes cereal, it looks something like (all approximations):
2 cups almonds
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 scoops protein powder
2 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup oats
All give or take…I don’t actually measure. Throw it in a pan, cut it into pieces, put it in the freezer, bring with me to work.
I generally avoid straight eggs these days…they are pretty gross. Instead I throw 4 into my morning shake, which is about 1100 calories worth of stuff. But if I had to do that to get enough calories, sure I would.
Close Grip Bench:
295x2
315x2x2
(paused)
225x5x5
Wide-grip Bench:
225x3x8
Haven’t used anything other than a close grip in months, what used to be a “normal” grip for me felt ridiculously wide…and short ROM!

One more question man, then I’ll fade back into obscurity.
What do your macros typically break down to?

I honestly don’t know haha. A somewhat typical day of eating is something like:
Morning shake-
1 cup whole milk
4 eggs
1 banana
1/3 cup oats
1 cup ice cream
2 scoops protein powder
At lunch, about 10-12 oz boiled chicken in BBQ sauce, 3 hard boiled eggs.
After work, one of those modified puppy shit bars, about enough to be 500 calories total.
1 cup cottage cheese with either an orange, or 1/3 of a pineapple.
Some sort of “normal” dinner, with meat and carbs of some sort.
Sometimes a protein shake before bed, and usually tea haha.
Today’s work:
Back Squats:
405x5/3
Dead-hang chinups:
bwx2x12
Long day, had a lot of stressful stuff to deal with. Will get past it in time though.
Keep on keepin on, brother
