How do you make this stuff edible? There are few things I shy away from in the food world, but canned chicken/tuna are too of them.
Where do you buy it from? The stuff from Costco and Sams is both VERY palatable.

Publix or Walmart, might be my problem.
Yeah, I am sure there are some winners out there, haha. Samās and Costco are good. Tender and decently flavorful. Mixes with anything.

I will have to try that. I can eat pretty much anything if I mix it with good mustard.

@bigdaddi Itās great āemergency foodā. Love having meals ready to go.
@rroo Hah! Tends to be how my log goes. Iāll do a few dozen posts on some crazy training sessions and get radio silence, but talk about energy drinks and I got a captive audience.
Got a new flag for the gym
Really helps the whole thing come together

@ChongLordUno I run into the opposite issue: now co-workers want to talk to me about my nutrition. It happened when I was following Building the Monolith the first time and was eating a dozen eggs a day. I brought them to work and 4 co-workers complained about the smell and asked what I was eating, why, etc etc. Iād as soon they just leave me the f**k alone, haha.
Got in 200 KB swings in the PM before going on a 2 mile walk with the Mrs. Good way to cap the day off.

My co workers have started planning their day around my eating. They have quickly realised that I eat at specific times most days and will no comment if I am a few mins late.

Notes: Started with super sets of squat and press, followed by chin and press, then circuits of shrug-press-pull-press-shrug-press-pull. 1 minute rest between the chinning supersets, plate change rests otherwise. Flew through this. Viper pressing every single rep from the floor is money: just really transforms this into something awful. Had the idea that, were I to ever do this again, Iād try something like getting 75 reps total in as few sets as possible to just make this a nightmare.
Still dealing with the need to vomit during the widowmakers. Could be a consequence of eating so close to training. On that note, I had 4oz of grassfed organic new york strip steak with my breakfast this morning, which I think is the right move. Cheat meal tonight at our favorite pizza place.
Going to mow the lawn wearing my 80lb vest as one of my conditioning workouts in just a little bit, and see where the day goes from there. Working 2 12s in a row over the weekend, and then my work trip followed right by another 12 the day I get back. Tight schedule.

Malcolm X method. Gotta love it.
Iāve done some of my Boring But Big supplementals that way. Itās absolutely horrible, but on the days where you just wanna get in and out, it hits the spot.

For sure. Iām thinking even beyond Malcolm X and more just legit staying in front of the log and just doing 75 reps until itās done. Like āno leaving the table until you eat your vegetablesā style rather than allowing for there to be sets.
