powers-- If there's any health food stores around there or bulk stores that repackage into smaller portions you could find a lot there as far as nuts. That's where I get my whey powder, oatmeal, oat flour, unsalted almonds, walnuts, and all my dried fruits. Some are sweetened or salted and some aren't. I got some dynamite little spicy flaxseed sticks to munch on. They're great, but one doesn't want to eat too many. I did a lot of stair climbing the next day!
If you'd like me to investigate your area for one, pm me with your city location and I'll see what I can dig up around there for ya. Or anyone else that's interested.

I did a full hour long workout today. Part was arms, back, and shoulders and since I didn't have weights in the living room I used a restaurant mayo jug I put change in that's about a fourth full. I don't know how much it weighs and I don't care, but it was heavy. I drank 3 bottles of water and made an eggbeater, oj, skim milk, and aloe juice shake afterwards and took a flaxseed oil pill and vitamin.

Yeah, from what you said first, sane, that it was just food of fat and protein...it didn't sound very appetizing.

I'm making a nutritional list of what today's food brought in.......so far, I've had: a whole can of fruit, protein shake, and an animal pak supplement for breakfast around 7am; ham sandwich for late morning around 10:30am; 2 baked potatoes (nothing on it) for a lunch; I also had a glass of water for each meal.

Wow, I just bought a bag of red kidney beans......there's 9g of protein, no fat, and 22 carbs or so in 1 serving...badass.

56g sat fat
4.5g trans fat
1.5g polyunsat fat
.5g monounsat fat
485mg colesterol
213g carbs

...from:

1 can (3.5 servings) of mixed friut
1 protein shake
1 ham sandwhich, 2 slices of cheese 2 slices of ham
2 potatoes
monsterous 1lb hamburger with 2 slices of cheese and ketchup (I'm sure you can take off some of the fats from the list because I always squeeze the fuck out of a burger between paper towels before I eat it....

By the way, this is a day that obviously I watched my eating so I ate less and probably better. However, this is still somewhat close to how I eat every day of the week--besides the burger of what is sometimes substituted with other dinners like hamburger helper boxes or spaghetti, or eaten with hotdogs or pizza.

P.S.
And I squatted 3 reps of 450 fucking pounds last night

I'm pretty sure that somewhere out there there's a guy who's metabolism is so high that he has to consume that many calories a day just to stay three dimensional. Guess you found him.

Haha, that's crazy. That's insane he can bench 130. I can't bench much more than that.

Yup....too much of the bad stuff, and not enough carbs and dietary fiber......But you obviously didn't read the part about how much fat and grease I get out of the beef before I eat it--try about half (or more) of a coffee cup of saturated fats not getting eaten. Now guess what, I can probably take off about 50g of saturated fats from that list. If that's down, I guess the total fat also goes down. The other fats are mainly from the buns.

I don't know how the hell people can eat 25g of dietary fiber, and from what foods......?

__________________

not too sure, but I think oats and whole wheat bread have a decent amount of fibre

i read in the paper the other day pectin, the white stuff between peel and flesh of an orange has the most fiber you can get from a fruit

__________________

Pectin is also used in jelly.

Whole wheat bread itself isn't necessarily any different than white breat nutritionwise, but if you get the kind that's whole grain wheat it will have more nutrients in it. Look at the labels and compare. I had to do meal nutrition evaluations for breakfasts and lunchs for the state when I worked. Some of the labels I just pulled off the websites of the food companies for ease.

powers' if you make your own burgers you can get 90% lean ground beef or sometimes 95%. You just have to be careful you don't overcook it. It's quite good and you aren't paying for all that stuff you're draining off.

__________________

whats wrong with overcooking?

It's already dead! But if you like eating charcoal bricks and breaking your teeth it's fine.
I think you're funnin'.


lol Someone from the bar just called Denny to get his Mexican Meatball recipe. Those are good stuff and you could use lean burger in those easily.

__________________

Lean beef is costly. I would rather buy 5lbs at 8.40 than 1 lb of 93% lean (that's usually the amount of lean here) for 3-5 bucks.

What about cereals? My current daily breakfast is 3.5 servings of mixed fruit with a ham sandwich.

__________________

I was gonna get a pound of each sometime and see what gets poured off, but durr..., it should be the approximate % of fat in it.

hahaha, you slow old woman....But I think I understand that you atleast wanted to "see" how much gets taken off...

__________________

i have been having massive cravings for meat lately. i even ate cold chicken which i DESPISE yesterday

__________________

Yeah, sometimes it takes me awhile to understand simple things. Part of my genius. I still might do it since I know that all of it can't be removed. It'll keep me out of trouble for awhile anyways.

Tranny, your tastes change all your life so that doesn't surprise me at all. I even like beets now and I was never crazy for them. And I can tear up on some plain ole squash and sweet potatoes now, too.

Are you pregnant?

indeed!

__________________

Hahahah


I'm just saying, a craving is a strong chemical thing that pregnant women typically get... more than just, "I'm ravished, dammit."

__________________

haha i know it is very odd, but its partially because im not eating dinner with the family much lately so im really not getting much meat at all


todays breakfest :

two pieces of wheat bread, cheese, 3 eggs and a glass of milk. 50 g protein

__________________

I was shocked to find out that a 2 ounce serving of the no yolk noodles I made last night have 8g of protein.Of course, we both had more than just 2 oz. apiece so it was more. We had turkey and gravy with it and homemade applesauce. I'm not real heavy on protein, but I try to get more than I used to.

I wondered if your craving was because of your lack of protein in your diet. It sounds like you had some good for breakfast, but there's certain things you can only get from meats.

The only pregnancy craving I ever had was a Wendy's burger before each doc appointment and it was always the same kind and once I had a craving for a donut. That's it.

Waaaaah? Waah waah waah get stuffed, you dead cunt.

Not really sure, but as fucked as it might sounds, I think it might have started with me writing tons at school ( examns).

Oh well, it be all good in not too long, I hope.

He told me it wasn't his mirror. I don't think it is. I taught him better than that.

I had a great workout yesterday. I went out and did some transplanting and then picked up and broke sticks for about an hour. I also cleared out all the overgrown crap from behind my barn--mostly mullein stems from last year. I cleaned my peony cages and removed all the weeds and put the cages back. The most fun was taking up all the rocks from around one of my big maples. I was afraid they'd eventually kill the tree and they were sinking into the dirt a lot. I really had to dig my fingers in or beat them with a stone to get them out. And then I'd fill up one of those milk crates that says "Thou shalt not steal" on it about halfway with the rocks and squat properly to lift and carry them over by the house. It took 3 or 4 trips, but it was fun. Then just for shits and grins I power walked all around the back field and back up to the house. It felt really good. I came in the house and took my vitamin and glu-con-msm and flaxseed pill --gave the dog hers, too. I'm more sore today from the abs workout on Friday than from yesterday. And I desperately need some sleep.

__________________

wisdom teeth out, high blood pressure could mess with the stitching (that shit falls apart without the addition of blood pressure caused by dead lifting a small cow in weight)

__________________

Ah. I should probably get my wisdom teeth out soon enough.....my back ones are already poking out, and the front ones are right behind them.

I've missed out on about 3-4 weeks of the normal deathlifting. All I've been doing lately is stiff-legged deadlifting....up to 270lbs. I could probably do more but my grip isn't strong enough

On the other hand, I'm going to try and beat my 450lb max on squat tomorrow. I did 2. On the third rep, I went down and somwhat up a little, but required help from two spotters who helped lift 449lbs...the bastards.....

__________________

i would suggest not getting your wisdom teeth out, just because they are out doesnt mean that they are a problem. maybe see a dentist , preferably one that wouldn't be removing them so their judgement isn't skewed by the huge amount of money at stake

__________________

There's not a soul in the world I know who has a large enough mouth to have their wisdom teeth out. I have to get mine pulled or else they'll push my front teeth forward even more than they already are.

__________________

I was told long ago that I had plenty of room for mine and the xrays I had about 2 years ago showed that 2 are fine and straight, but the third is growing a bit crooked and possibly into the bone where it shouldn't be. The fourth one is the only tooth I ever had pulled. It had rotted from the inside out, but the roots were perfectly straight and healthy. So like Tranny said, go to a dentist and get the xrays done and go from there. Mine have floated up and down for years and the only problem I've really had other than that one was wanting to gnaw on things like I was teething to help them poke through.

__________________

Yeah, consult a dentist or orthodontist Powers. If they need to be removed, it is very fucking worth it to get them out in the long run. But if they are fine, that's always good too.

__________________

Hey, if you do get them out, get hold of a Dremel rotary tool and drill holes through them, put them on a necklace and wear them when your band plays. You can tell people you pulled them yourself and give them an evil stare.

BACK TO WEIGHT LIFTING


erm, didnt do any today. shoulders and back tomorrow

__________________

I did back, shoulder, arms, legs, and everything in between this morning. I weeded, pruned, raked, and pitchforked my mom's whole front yard! A year ago I could not have done that.

__________________

I did so many dips and bench presses that when I did my squats, I did 180lbs and got light headed after the first set of 20. I ended up only going to 360lbs....

__________________

hate it when that happens

__________________

gyms should be required by the FDA to blare devourment-butcher the weak in the weight room at all times

__________________

First day of lifting in a looong time was yesterday for me. I almost forgot what it was like.

__________________

yes.


YES.


YES !!!!!!





I lifted super-heavy for the first time in a long time ... I was doing shrugs with 90 ib dumbells ... I thought I was going to die or something afterwards. But that eventually went away.

I don't even have 90 pound dumbbells haha, I usually shrug around 275 with an O bar.

I think I'll do back today, I'm still a little wary with deadlifting and squats.



Nooo they should require Priest to be played at all times, AND force everyone to bench on chest day

__________________

The Devourment argument followed all the way into the fitness thread

haha nah its really just about whatever gives you that extra nudge. but omg its devourment for me


damnit john you shrug with one arm what i shrug with two :/

__________________

I like shrugging dumbbells better than barbells. Barbells never feel right to me when doing them, but I've found that taking 110s and doing shrugs with a slight cheat and a pause at the peak contraction for one second, and doing that for four sets to the point of not being able to hold on to the dumbbells anymore, seems to completely destroy my traps, and it's a great feeling. I can usually get 8-12 reps per set depending on how strong I'm feeling...

__________________

The only weight set I have for dumbbells is seperate from my olympic set (the bars are smaller in diameter). Maybe I'll try some one armed shrugs today, one arm at a time. That would be good for my torso...

__________________

steve i take it your face didnt explode?

__________________

Ahh yes, I deadlifted 275 today, and one arm shrugged 105 and I'm just fine, thank god. That could have turned out to be one hell of a mess.

__________________

if by mess you mean awesomely fun time


legs tomorrow, ugh

__________________

I may do legs tomorrow as well depending on how sore my back is. Sam, do you do calf raises with an olympic bar? Standing on a block on your toes with 245 pounds in your hands is a BITCH.

__________________

hahaha no i dont, i can picture what youre doing though

Deadlifted 315 today. Not bad for an 18 year old thats over 6' tall.

I've been able to do full sets of dips as well (I couldn't go all the way down before) and they kick my upper body's ass. They're a great exercise, everyone should do them.

__________________

How many pullups can you do MTM? (I mean going from a dead hang and all the way up.)

__________________

this somehow lacks FBS' zest

__________________

I don't think I've ever tried to do as many as possible, but I know I can do at least 10 (keep in mind I am 195 pounds) good pull ups.

210 on the chest press machine today

somewhere around 80 on preacher curls

BEHOLD: THIGH

http://img415.imageshack.us/my.php?image=thigh7qw.jpg


dont click that if you dont want to see my suprisingly hairy bulbous thigh. call my crazy but im almost proud of it

__________________

Last time I tried I did a ton of dips before I had to quit. Now, I just do somewhere around 7-10 sets of 10 and 8 at the beginning of each workout.

Yesterday I did a bunch of sets with 180lbs of stiff-legged deadlifts, damn I love those....

Some advice, never eat dinner before doing clean and jerks for the first time ever.....which is exactly what I did yesterday, with 10 sets of 10 on each arm with a 65lb dumbell.

__________________

Love your heels, guy. You need to braid them legs to look like stockings though. I nice herringbone pattern would be flattering.

Very little working out and no mall walking this week. The ole guy's on vacation so I took the week off. Today I was the bitch on the back of the Harley for the first time in about 3 years at least. I've done enough inside and outside work to make up for the lack of exercise and it's lasted longer than an hour or so.

__________________

Your thigh is weird trans...

__________________

Yeah it is. At least you're starting to get ripped though. Losing all that fat lets you see muscle growth a lot easier.

__________________

yeah it is, tons and tons of very high resistane biking and some pretty decent leg activity led to that. thats more the result of my biking than my lifting. whats REALLY odd is to compare my thigh to my lower leg i look like a drumstick

ive noticed in the past few months i have shoulders now, that is to say, on a cut off shirt something actually sticks out

Well, the jacket and hair add to the roundman idea. And you're young and you'll change shape. Most all guys do as they mature. It's just that some help it along with physical activity. I'm amazed when I see some of wally's old friends and how they've shot up or out now that they're in their 20's.

I walked an elderly friend to her car today where her husband was waiting. She asked him if he'd gone running while we were in the meeting. He said he did more walking than running, but he'd been to the track at the high school nearby. He's in his mid 70's. That's pretty awesome.
