Words to live by.
x2 on the nutrition, I’m almost to the point of an obscene orgy of food on bench day. its almost Romanesque.
So glad to finally read about some other people who like to eat a lot.
I’ll have a great training day after 3 hours of sleep, stressful day at work, and childcare, but I completely pigged out on protein-y stuff the day before and day of training.
Urgh, I like to eat a lot but I’m trying to coax my abs out of hiding. They’re very shy. Very shy indeed. No romanseque orgies for Cal, alas.
Well, tomorrow is the day I’m supposed to strap a feedbag to my face but I’m totally fucked. In meetings all day and all night, with mainstream crap food at best. ARGGGHHH!!!
I’ve packed some almonds and power bars. sigh. Will a greek yogurt be ok in the trunk of my car for a couple of hours in 40ish degree rainy weather?

Yay to deload week! You deserve it. And I must say, your deload is starting to look like my regular training days 
Those waited stair walk ups are pretty good, no? And I feel ya on the dips. I went in to the gym last night for some light upper body. My pullups are a mess just after 2 weeks off. But i think you’ll get them back in no time! Just be wary of that wrist, missy.
Kimba, I keep yogurt, milk, and other dairy products in my bag for the entire day, and aside from it getting a little warm, it doesn’t go bad or anything like that. I think you’ll be good. But this is me talking, I eat food that’s on its way out all the time. Stomach of steal I tell ya.
or you could (in the future) freeze a small bottle water and take the ice with the yogourt in a lunch bar or even a plastic grocery bag.
^ or a small cooler you can put an ice pack in!
:)!!! purdy picts mama :)!
x2 on your deload week lookin like my regular stuffs (and then some!)
great that you hit beautiful form on the rows…that’s always great. you’ll be right back to ownin’ those BW dips in no time!
good luck with those darn meetings…i feel yah.
feedbags…now we are talkin! i’m pretty sure most of us here like to eat a lot, that’s never been under-stated.
Two days of being cooped up in conference rooms with mainstream food. I’m beat and carbed up!
Today’s training wasn’t too bad, despite a severe lack of sleep.
On the squats, I worked up to 120 lb. 1 x 5, which would definitely be a rep PR +1 if my spotter hadn’t touched the bar on the last rep. He swears he just touched it and didn’t help me, but I don’t believe him.
Bench was good today – I finally got 85 lbs. for 2 reps. I had been stuck at one rep for almost two months, so YAY.
There was more bodybuilding type high-rep stuff, and good old walking lunges with the 25s, but I’m running out of steam here.
bench + squat PR = good (keepin it short so you can go rest 
Shrimp isn’t token protein if eaten in huge quantities. I think if you eat like a lb of shrimp scampi sans the pasta, it will help your training immensely.
Nice to hear you still managed to get a kick-ass workout in, despite conference-room hell!

Grounds for kneecapping.
Ah, the world looks so much brighter after a good night’s sleep. And if I never seen another piece of bread, soggy cookie or bag of chips, it will be way too soon.
N., I always appreciate short and sweet.
Owlie, I totally agree on mass quantity of shrimp. But restaurant shrimp scampi is usually 6 shrimps plus a ton of useless pasta. Delicious, but not helpful.
Rachelle, I was so happy to steal away to the gym for an hour. It saved me from having to kill people.
DCA, I assume you mean that dude touching the bar was worthy of the kneecapping. If so, I totally 100% agree.
Lots of good work going on in here, as usual.

Of course I mean the guy touching the bar. I don’t kneecap my friends…
…unless they start using stability balls. That requires intervention.
Maybe you could get them to keep the pasta and give you a pound or two of the shrimp and garlic butter?
If they decline, military press them.
