My 8 Month Transformation [PICS]

[mmm_Donuts]

Are you on the sauce trying to take in 220grams of protein daily? Alright man, I can see your reasoning why...I thought you thought it was like the best way for you to get where you want to go! But work is totally understandable, I'm kinda in the same boat as a network installer, shit sucks trying to maintain a steady diet. A tip maybe? Take it if you like its what I do and it works out pretty well.

Pretty much every Sunday I'll grill up around 10lbs of chicken or red meat, then divi it up in to 5 Tupperware bowls. I don't weigh it or anything crazy like that, just eyeball it and I'm good for the week. I know chicken gets boring but I change it with different spices, bbq sauce (not super healthy), teriyaki sauce etc. . . Couple that with uncle ben's 90 second rice and its a solid quick meal throughout the week! Anddd its way cheaper than KFC, that shit is ridiculously high haha.
That throughout the day with some tuna, your protein and whatever else as a snack and your good to go!
Some quick math to back it up a little bit.
They say there's about 25 grams of protein per 4oz's of chicken breast. The way I divide it up I'm getting around 2lbs of chicken in throughout the day. That's around 200 grams of protein before I even factor in my egg white protein shake in the morning, the tuna, whatever little snacks I eat.

Meh, just realized this doesn't solve your calorie intake goal lol....welp I'll still post it, save it for your "cutting cycle" lol.

No idea why you've such a big thing against 'junk' food when your body doesn't know the difference between 'junk' and 'clean' food. It processes it based on its macros and that's what ends up making you lose or gain weight.

And bulk/cut cycles are much easier than trying to 'lean bulk' and sit and track each and everything that goes in your mouth just to keep a 300 cal surplus which imo is going to mess up with your head overtime along with the hard to track changes in the mirror.

Milk is a good source of protein + if you dont have the time to eat just use a mass gainer ( serious mass 1500 calories per serving). I dont recommed it as something you can replace your meals with but if you dont have time go with the mass gainer

For the third time, i take half a serving of gainer with milk for a 1000 cals everyday lol. I'll still have 3000 more to cram in the rest of the day in a short period of time

I've got a hard on for all things not junk food lol....jokes....well kinda jokes. You're body would definitely notice the difference like J E said, a very good example. I mean shit you notice the difference and you're not even realizing it...Since your "bulking" period you've put on noticeable size which consist of mostly fat (not trying to be mean, I'm not saying you're a fat ass, theres just more fat on you than you had before this)...that fat came from the shit food lol.


Is it really easier though?? I mean lets face it, more toward the summer you're gonna be working your ass off losing all those months of not giving a fuck about your intake. Overall I don't really find it all that healthy to fluctuate in weight like that either. Your skin stretches, then loosens up during the cutting phase...now you gotta work even harder to fill that skin with muscle. Butttt you've been lifting and eating like a fiend months before that so you're not gonna put on real mass during the cutting cycle anyway. At the end of the summer you'll still have that little pouch right there at the base of your belly etc. . .

I guess what I'm saying is wouldn't it be easier to just slowly sculpt your body, adding layer upon layer of quality weight?

**all the "yours" are not necessarily direct towards you, but in general.


Side note: I'm not to sure I buy into the whole "if it fits your macros" nonsense, If there's one thing around that has its fads its definitely lifting/exercising....the whole macro gig is relatively new and has exploded amongst everybody who's anybody. I mean the idea of it has been around for a very long time....all it essentially is is flexible eating. But you throw that kitsch word in there and its the "New big thing" lol.

Its not going to know the difference between a kfc breast and grilled chicken breast with eggs. You know what I meant lol.

You both sound like you're attacking IIFYM without even trying it

I never really had a meal plan i just ate whatever we had in the fridge just made sure i got enough protein/carbs and fats, when i started working out my max bench was only 90 pounds due to a bad shoulder injury, anyways i got my max up to 242 pounds in just 6 months, i trained hard ate well and slept a lot i had gainz like a mofo

I guess I kinda am, I apologize haha. It just seems like it gives a person a justification to essentially eat what they want.

EDIT: Just read this on IIFYM on "myfitnesspal"


Reading through it, it sounds like a meal plan that gives you some leniency so you wont commit suicide. But there is definitely structure to it, I feel like your abusing it.

 

£40 ($67) for 5.4kg of the stuff... This was awhile ago though. Since then I've learned about "food" haha, so I don't really need it.

I'm looking for some pre-workout supplements atm... Its so hard to pick out the ones that work from the ones that are built on hype.

How many scoops was in this?

Go with jack3d for craz3 :laugh:



IIFYM is what I do too. It allows you to not obsess too much about your diet. Some popular youtubers such as Hodgetwins do it too.

 

[DRSX]

Craze is a wonderful pwo

It's not called abuse when your metabolism can take it and you still have visible abs lol

Not sure I agree, but if you say so haha! Keep up the good work, you're looking pretty good so far!

Don't get me wrong I have nothing against your diet etc... It does make sense ramming whatever in to hit your macros.

But IMO I would get lazy and use it as an excuse. "Oh look I have about 500cals left lemme ram this chocolate bar down me". You get what I mean?

Having my meals planned makes it so easy with day, I can grab a box of chicken and go to town haha. And also get the correct macros daily and cleanly

Coming along nice! Question for ya, how do you think a progress pic thread for all the members would do? The section has grown in popularity, think it would crash and burn?

 

[Magickidkac]

Wow gaining that much muscle with a minimal amount of fat is incredible. Good shit man.

 

[Snowbear]

God damn..nothing but impressed. I agree there's some strong lighting in the after pics but, shit, you deserve it!

Very impressed, great job man. Keep it up!
