Rebuilding the beast

Re: Rebuilding the beast

Thanks guys. Its only been about 2 years since i got in that wreck, i got down to 160lb. I'm just under 245lb. in those pics.

it's not funny that you were in a bad wreck but the funny part is i tell everyone that asks me how and how long it took me to get big. the funny part is i started out at 155lbs soaking running and swimming like a mad man. i also got hurt in 08 really really badly but i only dropped down to about 230. seems that is the natural drop off point for me now. keep trucking man the sky is the limit and i am proof of that one and anyone can do it

Re: Rebuilding the beast

Yea man thats alot of volume, i was just reading over your first page. Are you still on track with your meals? Do you cook everything the day before? Do you buy everything raw and cook it yourself?

How much do you eat out?


Just curious because its a real grind and youve gotta be dedicated to take the time to cook everything for the next day, atleast for me.

Yes I cook everything at home. I dont eat out very much, usually just a few times on the weekend, usually supper on saturdays and lunch on sundays. I've found places here with relatively healthy things to eat.

What I'm eating now looks something like this:

Meal 1: 2 whole eggs, Egg whits, 1 greek yogurt, oatmeal
Meal 2: Chicken or Fish or shrimp, oatmeal or sweet potato, some kind of fruit
Train
Post work out: 80g Whey, oats, creatine
Meal 4: Chicken or Fish or shrimp,, spinach or kale
Meal 5: Chicken or Fish or shrimp, spinach or kale
Meal 6: Chicken or Fish or shrimp
Meal 7: 50g whey/70g casein

Re: Rebuilding the beast

have you found a way to make kale taste good.. texture is good but dam if I cant find a way to make it taste good unless in the vitamix it goes into a liquid state.. I have heard of baked kale chips..you try those

Re: Rebuilding the beast

I actually like it pretty good. But if I'm not feeling like eating it that day I use Balsamic vinaigrette dressings just a little bit to give it taste.

Re: Rebuilding the beast

[animal87]

Re: Rebuilding the beast

Yea I go to costco.

Re: Rebuilding the beast

I notice the meat from Costco seems to taste better than sams.. also just looks fresher.. the fish forsure

Re: Rebuilding the beast

I get my chicken and few other things from costco. I get red meat and fish from my local grocery store bc they have sales on it all the time.

Re: Rebuilding the beast

I hit chest and back earlier this week, as I said in the other thread I had a issue with my left leg so I took it easy on my lower body. I kinda made up for it a little today and tested how it felt plus hit shoulders.

Smart man cut it back before you totally mess up and set your training back. You're learning your limits and not getting upset. It is what it is and all we can do is try to build without taking steps backward. We all have infirmities if we are trying to do anything with our bodies. Good job animal can't wait to see a new picture as usual. LOL luv ya.
