While we’re talking performance enhancers

This is a burger patty made of chuck, spare ribs and brisket, topped with pulled pork and shaved pork shoulder and an onion ring, with a side of onion rings.

I also just spent $100 on some piedmontese hot dogs and pot roast. Oh boy are you in trouble.

Confession - visible changes (to my eye) have been slow these first two months of the T-ransformation. My biggest challenge was and remains reorienting my dietary practices and expectations. “Comfort food” is a real thing, and I’ve had to face the perception of missing out on something good. In winters past, I loved baking sugary desserts, but since January, I’ve only baked a couple items instead of making things twice a week.

Since I’m in my early 40s and still healthy, I’m using the T-ransformation as a springboard to healthier dietary practices and overall lifestyle. Instead of bulldozing my entire dietary landscape into something unrecognizable, I’ve made incremental, lifelong changes. Late-night carb-fests, cheese consumption, and sugary desserts have been pruned back around 70 percent, replaced with daily whey protein shakes. I’ve halved the amount of milk and sugar in my daily coffee, and I measure any oil I cook with.

This month, I’m committing to walking five-plus days per week while giving myself the emotional freedom to experiment with different lifting methods. Training has become fun again, and I wake up each day sad about bitter coffee :joy: but excited to learn from the new-to-me methods I’m testing.

I hope y’all’s T-ransformations are going well, or at least going. If not, it’s not too late to start again!

Nothing does when you grind it enough.

Only on a forum of Meatheads would such a monstrosity be considered a “performance enhancer”, not “heart attack on a plate” or “weeknight dinner” :joy:

My tongue is practically through my cheek.

Can’t be too sure with the lack of emojis

If the “goal” is fat gain, that could easily be interpreted as “performance enhancer”

Don’t rely on those. They are crippling.
