Congrats on squats. And it means a lot to all of us.
Thanks for the encouragement!
Just have a quick question about food. Do y’all do all that food prep, carry around a cooler full of food with you all day? Or do you just eat like regular people? The I have failed twice on this mission, and both times was on the nutrition end. But, honestly I can’t wake up and shovel down 10-12 whites every morning. Not gonna happ’n capt’n! I just can’t cook up 20 lbs of chicken and eat it all week. Everyday. Uh uh. I have tried and end up eating less because I get sick of it. What do you guys eat?
Congrats from me as well, with your lifting. But let us not gloss over the upcoming, and mysterious death of a local hardware store clerk; please, do tell if your so inclined.
Food wise, I am a creature of some habit. I’m lucky to have a fridge to use at both jobs. Cook a bunch on Fri; load up at work for 3 days or so; repeat on Tues or when needed. I’m a big fan of tupperware!
For the record, I’m on day 3 of; bbq chicken, cheeseburgers, rice w/veggies and almonds!!! Tasty.
Breakfast, like right now, is 1cup or so trail mix, and a protein bar. Quick and easy at my desk; big dose of protein, healthy fats and calories for the brain and body.
Trash can Yogurt (like it sounds): yogurt, granola/cereal, P.B., fruit, nuts…whatever you like. Mix, eat, rest, repeat!
Onward and upward.

Thanks Z. Apprearently I need to conquer my unreasonable fear of tupperware. I work at different locations daily and never really know what the job will consist of till i get there. So, cooler is my only option on that. Nobody wants to eat a sammich after it has been in a pick up in Texas for a couple hours. Ewww… I will just have to get more creative! Thanks again!
And as for the hardware clerk… The only thing saving him is my son. I just can’t run the risk of incarceration…lol
i eat because my goals say eat
their are seasonings that you can use to help,some are helpful like garlic,you just got to read nutrition articles
my goals are different than yours so i eat whole eggs, when i get tired of eggs ,i throw something in for a change of pace
Thanks caveman. And yes, I eat the whole egg! The only way I like egg whites is when they are meringue on pie…lol
Got off late, got home late, went ahead and did the deadlifts according to the 5/3/1 calculations. I must say, that was reminiscent of my last boyfreind…yeah, I did it, but it damn sure wasn’t satifying!

Will have to pick up the rest in the morning.
There is a certain peace, a quietness, that falls upon the earth in that hour before dawn. Before the noise of the day takes it toll. Where it is just you, no reason, no ryhme. Almost like a place, instead of a moment. A place where you can just do what you want.

When it’s warm enough to do my swimming I love to get to the river right before dawn and be swimming as the sun comes up.
I would love to able to do that!

I’m able to follow most of your nomenclature but not all of it. Like SCR? And (CS) RF?
I confuse myself…lol
SCR= seated cable row
(Cs)= chest supported reverse fly/ rear delt raise…whatever you want to call it. No cheating that way.
Good one! Tupperware= the key to all your Gainz 
Rock on.
If sacrasm was an actual sport I would be fitter by now…lol
And yeah, yeah, I am going to an actual store Friday, maybe I can find some stainless or glass tupperware? Just 140 mile round trip 
140 miles? Good grief.
Do what I do…only date women 
I have stronger words for it than that. But, my folks need me, so i will have to endure. It has taken years, but Think I am finally getting used to it…lol
And as far as the dating…I might as well. They already think that I am A man hating, lesbian bitch, so I probably have nothing to lose. Silly close minded people, they think I want to look like man because I say I lift…lol “oh! Please don’t do that” “oh you will look like a man”. And my personal favorite, from my ex, " i don’t want to sleep next to a man." Yeah, I have heard it all that, all my life. This is something I have wanted to do since i was 20. Screw them!
I shall carry on!
Haters gonna hate.
There’s a lot to be admired in someone who will sacrifice for their family.

That’s the attitude!
Amen, family is the most important thing, next to whiskey.
