just google them and you'll know for sure. a quick search session i just did had results that may surprise you
Does anyone else drink when they are in fat loss mode? I used to drink fairly regularly, but I don't really want to as I need a break anyways, plus the calories. I'm thinking I may have some in a month or so, but I'm actually favoring just not having any until the holidays. Wouldn't hurt to take a nice, long break.

So I tried to make protein bars.
I think I created solid protein peanut butter instead.
Macros (per serving, which is a pretty decent sized chunk):
277 calories, 6g carbs (half of which is fiber, I think), 20g fat, and 18g protein.
But 4g of sugar as well.

I limit my drinking during fat loss phases.

Analysis determines you have indeed created solid protein peanut butter. At least it appears to be natty solid protein peanut butter though.

I bought a IF book, and am about 1/3rd of the way through it. I may give it a try at some point, although my biggest worry is the amount of energy I would have, I end up ready to crash at the end of the day as it is.

Met one of the security guards at the mall I'm working in at the gym. He has just started working out, and boy does he have advice for me!
1: Work out every day.
2: Your abs are the most important muscles. They are also the muscles that will grow fastest out of all the muscles in your body. Work them out every day. Use a program that gradually increases the time you spend on your abs (he showed me an app he uses: start with a couple of minutes, and add a number of seconds every day until you're up to half an hour a day at the end of the program).
3: When not working on your abs, work on your arms. Do dumbbell presses and bicep curls. Every day.
4: Eat lots of carbs. Load up on them. Not enough carbs in your diet? Buy a gainer. Oh, and don't use creatine if you use a gainer. One or the other.
5: Add 5 kilos to your weights every day. But don't really do that anyway, because you should confuse your muscles by doing different exercises every day. But, uh, still train your abs and arms every day.
That's his routine. He now stops by my store every day to ask if I have bought that gainer yet.

I've never tried this recipe for protein bars but it looks really good:

1.) Rendezvous with someone who gets quest bars for the low low
2.) Buy em in bulk/push that weight in your territory
3.) ?
4.)Profit/start a quest bar cartel
awesome routine, but he forgot the most important exercise in thre whole book:
the Dumbbell Punch
edit: apparently the gif that was here is NSFW or something
nevermind

Holy crap. And deep too.
Yes.. yes.. That sounds amazing. Any certain flavour to 'invest' in?
Cookie dough, PB, PB&J, White choc Raspberry, apple pie. Many like cinnaroll and brownie. I'm don't personally find them all too great.

Damn, looked like he could've done at least three easily as well.
Also, notice the boy in the background doing round-backed half-squats in the smith machine, never ceases to amaze me. Damn, looked like he could've done at least three easily as well.
Yeah he's my "trainer". Dude has taught me everything and is extremely no nonsense.
And yes the smith machine guy is a hopeless lost cause :/. See it all the time.

Broccoli, asparagus, red pepper, onion, franks red hot with water shake from my Blendtec...tastes better than this 500ml of plain natural fat free greek yogourt...wash it down with a glass of milk and some water.
Had a plate-sized steak yesterday soooooo good.

No problem man. Thought some would like it,its one of the better fitness channels imo.

I insta-heave when I taste it. My body does NOT want it in!
dips dips weighted dips dips weighted dips
chest press machine was also pretty helpful for building strength until it got maxed out (no unwracking, dont need a spot)
That's a pantry boys! and girls.
for those boxes you just use the 10 of 20 coupon over and over for individual transcations?
Actually used an online coupon for GNC to get $21 a box. My GNCs won't accept the coupons you guys use anymore.

ah that's unfortunate. I got a box today to try, they were $35 a box (LOL), but they had a 25% deal and then i used the coupon.
still not a fan of paying so much money for pro bars though....
Even when put in a drink like tea? I was curious of it's efficacy.

I never got that far, my buddies had far too much of a laugh when I was vomiting in their sink I decided I wouldn't go again.

Tonight for dessert: can of tuna, drizzle of olive oil, garlic powder and some kosher salt all heated up in the microwave.
It's like garlic bread made of protein.
Squats tomorrow will be good now, I can feel it.

Be more specific. 20 lbs. dumbbells doing what?
I was going over my progress folder and found some old pictures. I thought this might inspire/motivate people to keep pushing along and remember that progress is measured in years not months for us natural folk.

1/11 during a bulk
