Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[J.Pinkman]

Two meals is good. The main thing you want to have is snacks. I posted my current meal plan in another thread.

I just went shopping I spent about $30...

I basically covered lunch and breakfast, dinner can be very subjective, depending what i have planned for the day...

Breakfast: 4-6 eggs, with salsa
2 packets of oatmeal
glass of soy milk
3 glasses of water with creatine
1 banana

Lunch: "shake" that consist of:
2-3 cups of yogurt
kale
spinach
ice
soy milk
cilantro
ginger
carrots
pomegranate juice
2 bananas
2 tbs of olive oil

snacks:
salad
nuts
soy milk
avocados



Maybe a shake, will be the missing link in your meal plan. I don't use any protein powder...

Keep wanting to try kale, has good nutritional values doesn't it? Oatmeal, that's one thing I forgot.

Yeah I'll be having two shakes a day most likely with semi skimmed milk so that will bring up the calories and protein.

That shake sounds good, even though the thought of spinach and kale in a shake doesn't sound all that nice

Can't say I've ever tasted, the spinach / kale combination. Bananas are the most receptive ingredient in this shake. I just see it as an opportunity to reach my daily vegetable intake, without cooking them...

Yeah kale, is filled with numerous vitamins.

+1 on shakes

I would start the day with a fruit + protein smoothie

Have anything you want for lunch

Finish the day w/grilled or baked chicken (skinless but you can bread or season it) and 4-5 servings of veggies. Like I was saying earlier, these days when I want a snack I will have half a lb to a lb of peas or spinach or something. That shyt is like nutritional overload.

i used to hate squats. avoided them like the plague. But now I want some quads thatll show through my tailored italian cut suit

so i just sucked it up and did em. Now that im sitting on a 435 squat i love them:inlove:

now I feel it in my whole body. my traps, middle back, calves, even my lats flexing i can feel my body struggling to stay stabilized with that weight on my back.

its a different type of feeling once you lift that heavy. instead of a burn/tightness, i can literally feeel my nerves. I can feel them on some straight status.

Feels alpha male brehs

Most cats will never reach, that optimum level of strength and raw power...


I feel bad for the chicks though, they're ones who truly suffer: GOAT GIF...

Oh and never envy that big shot in the gym benching crazy numbers. It simply doesnt translate into real strength.

example.

I was on the dip station doing weighted dips. These deebo powerlifting cats is doing sets of +135, and +180. The +135 they got like 3 reps. The +180 they could barely get 2.

Im sitting there like these dudes prolly double my weight and cant mess with me on this bar. So i get up there and bust out +160x4 real smooth feeling real

im finishing up my sets on the weighted dips, and see these same dudes hop on the incline bench, rack on 495 and bust out 5 reps, touching the chest.

im standing there like I can barely do 225


bottom line this means its not functional strength.

it's just a different exercise. You're a good dipper they're good benchers

the point is it isnt translating.

I weigh about 170. 170+160 = 330lb press. Friday I flat benched for a max of 315x4. Pretty even..


these dudes was about 250-300. +135= 385-435lb dip press x3. Yet was incline benching 495x5 last week i seen them do 585x5 on the flat bench

Same thing I see on the pullup bar. These bodybuilding dudes who only work pulldown get on it and rack 300, but when it comes to bw pullups they can barely do 5 reps. Whereas I solely work weighted pullups and do +160x4, and last time i tested the pulldown i racked the whole thing 300lbs for 8 reps.
