True story. I say, without hesitation or exaggeration, that eating taco bell after every session has been responsible for at least 50% of my gains in the past year. This closely follows the Louie Simmons model of nutrition “Cholesterol converts in the body to testosterone”.

Can you believe how much meat and deliciousness they give you for 89 cents with that 1/2lb cheesy double beef burrito!?!

Shit, that’s how I got through college.

Just don’t go overboard on it. I know from experience. There is a Taco Limit.[/quote]

As a PWO strategy is it better to get the extra beef on the burrito or should I get a taco with an empinta instead?

I was told you should get about .63 ounces of beef for every 13 minutes of lifting, and under 5 minutes of rest between sets requires at least 4 grams of caramel sauce for every 30 seconds shorter the rest period is.

Maybe I should get the burrito with the extra beef and an iced tea instead?

Am I looking for motivation? Probably. I think I likely won’t even quit,but given my persistence so far,taking a week off feels like quitting. Does not anybody else here ever have similar thoughts? Don’t you think it’s natural to talk about that?

I do like it in a sense but at the same time I feel like I’m violating and hurting myself doing something unnatural. I get that feeling sometimes.

Seriously,do you think a lot of people do lifting because they really think it’s that much fun? That’s what actual sports like soccer or floorball are for,in my opinion. Which people grow up playing. Sure professionals bust themselves up for the profit but recreational players are enjoying the game itself.

I don’t really feel like responding invidually to everyone now so I’ll just say some responses were pretty astute and many were not.

It kinda sounds like you don’t like lifting because it’s not supplementing a sport your participating in. Try training for triathlons. You won’t get big and strong but you’ll maintain the flexibility you want and there won’t be any repetetive motion injuries.

On top of that, you can do some lifting to maintain what you have already. Working towards finishing something like a race may keep you motivated.

There are actually alot of repetitive motion injuries from triathlon training. ITBS is very common, all sorts of ankle, knee, lower back, and shoulder problems.

It is, however, a fun sport to compete in. Some of the nicest people I’ve ever met were at races.

[/quote]

It probably depends on the individual, i never had any problems but I only compete in sprint triathlons. Either way it’s better than picking just one of the three. That’s what I meant by less injuries. You’re right though, most people who go to the races are really nice and I’ve always had fun doing them.

Only if you are cutting, when bulking you will need to add one bag of cinnamon twists for every 25 lbs (rounded up to nearest 25lbs) of body weight. Another Taco Bell tip, the soft tacos have an extra gram of protein over the hard taco.

NO!!!

!

Iced tea can decrease the rate of the circulatory system by 2.364 ns which will cause one less amino acid to enter muscle tissue.

Over the course of centuries this could lead to the loss of one complete protein (taking leap years into consideration of course…and school Holidays).

I recommend something crunchy and something cheesy…together. This works synergistically to stimulate endorphins released due to pleasant taste stimulation which should increase insulin causing increased muscle growth…assuming you have calculated your overall intake down the exact calorie to negate fat gains.

Ok guys thanks for setting me straight.
But what about Taco John’s? Or Chipotle??

86

Wow, weightlifting is so complex.

Studies have also shown that the gas resulting from eating bean burritos can actually be benefecial by adding weight to your 1 rep max on squats.

Here is how it works. When you are at the bottom of the movement and beginning your ascent. Push hard through your heels and relax your sphincter muscle. As the gas expels through your anal opening you will get a thrusting force directly proportional to the number of burritos ingested and indirectly proportional to your body weight in kilos.

When using this technique please remember safety first. No open flames or smoking is permitted. Using a spotter is not recommended. And tight non-porus garments obstructing the anus will diffuse the gas pressure and reduce the effectivness of this exercise variation.

Dude, you’re retarded if you think this this is true.

Everyone knows (at least should know) that it’s not the tea that causes the metabolic downregulation, but the ICE! C’mon man, this isn’t complicated…

Just order your ice tea without the ice, and have them steam it for you like they would a burrito. Usually they try to tell me the cup won’t fit in the steamer, but that is just them trying to hold you back from your goals.

Personally, I am unable to relate to anything in your post other than the injury part. You and I have polar opposite views on lifting.

same here. i love working out. thats the major reason i do it. compliments are nice, but i usually brush them off with a joke anyway.

also, i tend to feel more aches and pains when i DONT work out for an extended period.

Idiot. It is actually the combination of Tea + Ice creating the chemical “Tice”.

Amateurs.

Words of wisdom. No wonder he is now in politics.

I get the best pump when I work out my unicep.

This reminds me of a sign that I saw this time around last year in a gas station: “Come break your new year’s resolution with us, Snickers king size 2 for $1.49”

no joke

Okay… that’s it… NOW I’m quitting too! LOL

I had a hard enough time trying to figure out between mild, hot,and extra hot sauces… this “weightlifting stuff” is giving my brain unnatural pains and I fear if I am forced to think anymore on this subject I will suffer unbearable injuries…
… quitting is the only logical answer.

LOL! All fast food chains should adopt a similar post-New Years strategy. Just show a big picture of a hamburger with the caption, “You know you’re going to break them. Just come on in and get it over with already.”

I had a large, all meat pizza for dinner last night. I wasn’t breaking any resolutions though. Was just hungry.

I wish I had taken a picture. But yeah, that’s not a bad marketing strategy about the sign. It might even work in the gym as well, “Thank you for your contract and your one month trial, see you next year!”
