Thanks mate x
Haha it’s all relative my man, this is super bloated for me. Like when Alpha does a ‘light’ workout with weights that would snap me like a twig
Can you have an RPE for body composition? We could invent one haha

RPE 10 for @kleinhound . Looking awesome man, also even in the mirror your posterior chain is looking good.
You’re supposed to be relaxed!
I put some better ones up on the official page this morning with unflattering front-facing natural light…brutal…

Any picture with my legs included makes me cringe. They’re so pale… and there’s no definition. Just straight, white, sticks on which I stand.
I think you have to be really lean and stop training for a bit to see bodybuilder type definition in your legs. Fat, water, and inflammation are pretty much always present so they never look cool like abs first thing in the morning.

Good stuff going on in here man! I did a workout in honor of your high volume style today lol.
It is easy for me to say, that I am done for the time being with ultra high volume workouts haha!

Hey man question for you!
So my wife is basically vegan (the only dairy she has is real cheese or ice cream) and I’ve flirted with the idea of going vegetarian for 12 weeks just to see how different I would feel or how my lifts go.
With that being said, I like prepping everything at once. Currently I make my meals all at once (mostly) and then have them ready to go.
If I am going to prep vegetarian meals, what are some options you could advise that would be good even a few days later? Or meals that are super easy to make. With my schedule currently I don’t always have time to cook so I could like to prep it all at once.
Btw tomorrow I’m trying that shake you listed in the beginning on your log. IDK how I’m going to down that whole thing, but I’m about to give it a good try!

Haha on man it’s a big shake but you’ll have the best shit of your life about 30-45mins later!
Okay so curries, chillies and bolognaises are really easy bulk meals to make which freeze and keep well
There is a sweet potato aloo gobi I listed a few posts up which is amazing, but basically I just google “X vegetarian curry” and see what comes up. Chilli sin carne is great, and i use different kinds of beans so I don’t have to use tempeh/saitan/tofu…i don’t mind it but I find beans have more flavour
Lentil or eggplant bolognaises are also go to meals for me, and i basically google around until I find good recipes.
Ive also made a few good burger patty recipes, and they freeze pretty well so you can bundle them up for individual defrost and cook situations
Cooked veg = freezes well
Fresh veg = does not
Unless you buy snap frozen stuff, but that’s just my experiences.
The curries tend to develop more flavour the longer they sit, plus they’re always super easy to make vegan if you want to cook for your wife too
(Not to mention if you crave meat you can just cook some up separately and then leave it soaking in the curry portion for a bit)

Hey mate, I just wanna thank you for something you mentioned in your log a while back.
Someone had you talking about your aspirations in Special Ops police work, and how you’re doing 10ish minutes of conditioning daily? Since starting this around a month ago, I’ve felt far more volume-ready, leaner and somehow more prepared for stuff. So yeah, cheers for the probably-not-intentional great advice. Keep up the good work man, youre looking solid.

Hey pal, I haven’t weighed myself in the last week and a bit but I think around the same or perhaps a little lighter. I always look bigger when I lean out a little… Then I just look skinny haha. I’m trying to eat a large volume at the moment to power through monolith haha
Thanks for the complements at any rate! How’s the challenge going for you?
I can relate to this! I’m pretty sure when I went from 240 to 225 (years ago) that I looked bigger and better. But after I hung around that weight for awhile I just started looking skinny. I’m 220 now. Time to get back to my bigger and stronger days.

Maybe your still swollen from your play with high volume then!
Nothing has to change for me for the transformation, I’m not planing on dropping any weight for it at all and I’m just sticking to my long term plan of building some extra mass. So it’s just shovelling in as much food in as I can whilst getting stronger in the 8-12 rep range in a few chosen lifts. Hopefully it’s noticeable that I’ve built some decent muscle since my after photo last year without being too fat!
