Protein pancakes have gone to s**t
Hey all, I saw some great recipes for pancakes that you can include your protein shake in. So I gave it a shot! I stuck in 1 scoop of anabolic matrix protein shake, 2 eggs and about half a cup of milk with some raisins (which I wont do again after seeing how many carbs were in those little bi***es) I lightly oiled the pan…

The first time you realised you were actually over weight.
Does anyone remember the moment they actually realised they were overweight? did it happen in a sudden moment? What made you finally come to realisation? how did it feel? how long until you kicked into action? I remember about a year ago, it hit me like a ton of bricks. People kept making (including my girlfriend) off hand…

My theory on why people fall under their calories
Im sure we have all seen it a thousand times in the forums, when someone is eating 1200-1600 calories they are told "you are not eating enough calories" which is usually met by "but im not hungry" or "i feel it is a push to get 1600 calories". Now I totally agree and find that it can actually be a struggle to eat healthy…

harder to clean bulk then diet (srs)
Dieting is so easy compared to clean bulking in my opinion. With clean bulks you have to: Be more accurate with your calories as gaining only 0.5-0.75 pound a week requires an accuracy between 250-500 calories each day. Dieters get results as long as they are in any kind of deficit between 100-1000 calories and dont…
