Sidenote look at this dude haircut
Still sore from Wednesday's squats and death marches, plus going bowling last night didn't help.Now after breakfast I gotta head back out there again for some benching and shoulder work. Maybe throw some ab work in since I doubt I'll have the strength or time to do cardio.
Gotta improve my nutrition cuz it's been bad lately. It's like a Mr Jekyll and Dr Hyde thing I got going on. What's good is eating boneless ribs and mixed veggies around 5pm. What's bad is eating French fries and these cinnamon toast crunch bites found at Wal-Mart on an impulse buy, at two in the morning. Luckily the box finished last night.
That does lead me to thinking about a conversation me and my boy had last night. He was talking about trying intermittent fasting. He's up to 183 but doesn't hit up the gym, just push ups and I guess random bike rides and jogging. Don't know how much he expects to lose but he was talking about going down to 155, we'll see. He was mentioning his eating and drinking. Of course he's been drinking beer lately so obviously that kills you there. I was telling him that it doesn't matter when you eat but rather how much you eat. Calories count the same at any time of day. What are you guys thoughts on this?
He gotta destroy and rebuild his mindset...
Get measuring cups etc..
If he is a binge eater/drinker, its very important he does this
Its about discipline..If he not doing enough cardio, he has lil margin for error
You put your ankles into the padded section.
Its just a body weight hamstring curl machine[/IMG]
If you don't know what this is
If you don't see this at the place you workout there's a great chance you workout at a fitness club, not a Gym
Go to any power lifting gym and ask them what is the best equipment in here, The majority will point at this machine
Your Squat sucks, get your ass on this, you want big squats get your ass on this, your squats stalled, get your ass on this.
If it gets easy grab a dumbbell and start banging out reps
You wanna build a strong posterior chain, you gotta deadlift. Deficits, sumo, stiff leg. Also throw some loaded hip thrusts in. You will spring up like a jack in the box out of the hole.

Bruh I know everything you talking about, and you are speaking some truth
I'm a Power Lifter, Trained out of one of the strongest power lifting gym in the South Bay and Bay Area. My gym have produced more elite (12), pro (5), and WR (2) powerlifters than any gym in the South Bay or Peninsula. Deficits, Chain's, Bands we do them all
That's over 550 pounds right there.
That Ham Curl machine is the best ever for squats, and to strengthen your hamstrings. The Pro's and Elite Lifters vouch for that

A year ago or so, I was walking out my Gym, Gold's Gym in San Jose around closing time, and The GOAT Phil Heath was walking in.
I was like
, told him I was a big fan of his and followed him when he first got his pro card, shook his hand, took a flick and we spoke for a few.At Gold's I seen Bray Watt, Big E, Randy Orton, Albert Del Rio, Cung Lee, MMA fighters, Bodybuilders ect.
I love Hardcore Gyms, they have real equipment, heavy ass weights and everybody bust ass, not on that fitness gym look at me shyt. At my Gym there's power lifters, strong man, Bodybuilders, power builders, Olympic Weight Lifters, Power Builders, Prison Workout dudes, Physique Competitor's, even the women get down and dudes that just bust ass
When somebody banging heavy and busting ass, all we do is give the person a nod and keep it moving.
Phil even gave me props for my size

Who said Power Lifters are Fat, those days are over with, we got lifters Like Dan Green (I met him at his Power Lifting Gym in Sunnyvale, Ca) Eric Lilliebridge that's changing the game.
And I'm not even flexing hard, those traps would of been out.
18.2 / 18.2A in the books
8:57 and 237# respectively
The cleans went surprisingly well from how cooked my legs were from the squats in the first part. I power cleaned my first 3 attempts pretty easily (187, 207 and 227). Then 237 absolutely buried me into a squat. I think my ass may have actually bounced off the floor lol. Was able to stabilize it in the hole and stand up though. Took one more attempt at 247 w 10 secs left but it bounced off my shoulders. I would actually consider re testing this one tomorrow or Monday. Some of these wods def need to be ran through once for strategic planning IMHO. I think I could approach it smarter second go around. Pace the burpees better etc. Feeling good overall and def much better performance than 18.1.

Did my googles for DIY options. Went to Home Depot. Less than $15 for 6ft heavy duty chain and two hooks.
Comfy and sturdy as fukk. Highly customization, too.
These online options are way overpriced.

How does one go about calculating nutrition facts about frozen chicken quarters? Got a whole box of frozen chicken quarters but they aren't marked with nutritional info.
Is there a set amount of protein per g a whole quarter is?
