Yes! My go to has always been raw natural almonds. I avoid PB because I can't stop eating it.

Brandon Campbell, Geroge Leeman, and Jim Wendler (Elite FTS).

I bought all of my ingredients off of Amazon. Went the DIY route for a long time. Now with a daughter, wife, and work... it's just a lot easier to order from Citadel Nutrition knowing what's in it to a T, and have it delivered in 3 days without making a mess in my kitchen weighing ingredients out.

I take my ring off as well. The best thing I've done for deads was also invest in a hand pumice stone. I scrape every week after deads with some body wash on the stone.

There's really isn't a best man. Whatever tastes good to you. I personally threw all my whey away a few years ago and stuck with real food. I think I used Cellucor a lot because of all the different flavors they had. A water based protein doesn't keep me full what so ever.

Deadlifts, rows (seated or standing), and pull-ups. Also remember... how your back will be is also genetics. Some might have a smaller back, but huge quads. Or massive arms and a small chest.

Just stick within your calories = weight loss. Unless you have medical issues to common everyday foods, you don't need a meal plan.

Food wise, pure sugar carbs like gummi worms / bears , Twizzlers, pop tarts give me a boost before I go lift. Coffee is always a go to. White Monster Zeros also.

The BMI is a broken scale. It literally should removed from history. According to Navy standards you can be 300lbs out of shape, health issues out the butt..... but if you lift and your neck is so many inches, and your waist is x (can't remember the exact numbers) then the person who lifts is considered obese while the…

My Nike 3.0's got me through FBI police training in Quantico. And I ran my *kitten* off daily.

I prefer gym. I like talking to people. Plus, I've made a few good friends through the gym. And I had to give up my spare man cave room so my daughter could have her play room.... so my hopes and dreams of having a power rack flew right out the door, and into a Barbie kitchen set.......

First... do you have a medical provider recognized condition when you consume carbs? If no.... why are you avoiding them? If you have to ask this question in the first place, not trying to be a dick or smart, but, please go read some articles by Layne Norton and Alan Aragon on nutrition because you don't seem to have…

.... What????

You don't need to at all.... that's just some bro science. Now, depending on how your body reacts to carbs... then can be used beneficially before training. For example, I react really well gummy bears, sour patch kids, bottle caps, Twizzlers, pop tarts, etc. I feel more energized after 2-3 servings. I don't do this all…

Personally, I don't consume whey. If you can hit your protein daily goal from real food... then eat real food. Whey protein is just a means to hit that daily protein intake, period. It doesn't make you skinny, lose weight, or stronger. Also, it's impossible to lose weight and build muscle at the same time. I suggest you…

There is no magic recovery drink. You don't need a drink, or some special whey, or food after a workout. Just eat your next meal when you're hungry and hit your macros before you go to bed. Now... if you're cramping bad, and actually lift HEAVY. I'm not talking about machines.... but OHPs, deads, squats, benching.... and…

I've been on a tuna kick lately. I've been buying the Starkist little pouch flavored ones (ranch is amazing), pairing it up with mayo and a few cut up dill pickles.

Drink a lot of water, flavored with water packets. I don't pay attention to sodium anymore. So many foods have it, and I'm not wearing a bikini on stage so ... water weight me away.

I second 5/3/1. I've personally used it for over 3 years now. Google Jim Wendler 5/3/1 and read up on it. The article should be on T-Nation.com

The first thing that should be asked is how bad are you restricting your calories from maitence? And are you eating a balanced diet.... not some Twinkie diet fad.

Cheat days are beneficial if you've been busting your butt, lifting heavy, and in a deficit for a long time. I just call them refeed days. But for someone who probably isn't a competitor, I recommend a cheat meal. So you don't go wild eating all day and minimize damage.

Oh I know it offends them, I don't need you to tell me that, hence, why I do it. Next time you take someone to a nice restaurant for a birthday or ... just because, and you have to smell an aroma... I hope you don't offend anyone. I'm not going to argue with people who want to make fallacy of a misinterpreted conflation.…

From what I understand, you should be consuming 1900 to cut, but lucky to hit 1500? If that's the case then yes, eat a little more. If not... try taking a week off. You can't go week after week after week of working out and expect the body to keep up. I deload every other week when I lift (only lift 50% of my max). If…

B) B) Oh, I am!

My initial post was never of the sort. I suggest you go back and find my initial post and read. And yes, I do make it a point to say something if someone is walking around smelling like trash. There's a difference if you're in a gym... sweating and your deodorant isn't strong enough.... and when you're in a movie or eating…

I'm a metal person. You can't go around powerlifting to Drake, or Chris Brown. Veil of Maya After the Burial Children of Bodom HELLYEAH Battlecross Kataklysm Chelsea Grin Feed Her to The Sharks Haunted Shores Thy Art Is Murder

I always cut up my tenderloins, throw them in a bowl of Frank's Hot Sauce, and add some Ranch Yogurt dressing.... a lot of it. And eat it with all the sauces caked ontop. Reminds me of bar style hot wings

I've ate a whole jar of White Chocolate Wondeful from PB& Co. Peanut butter company while watching a movie and a movie box of Goobers. Was literally laying on the floor by my bathroom in pain, almost crying, a few hours later.

Whoa... what brought that up? Not even close to what was being talked about.

There's a difference between trauma, and emotional damage that requires help from a professional, and the emo kids who do it for attention. Don't take something and twist it around. I understand this is text on a wall ... but not everything it meant to offend you.
