digital scale: i use the one from kitchen guru. you put in a code for your food and it gives you the full nutrition values. it will also track all of your macro intake for the day
foreman grill: it pulls the fat out from your ground meat and is very easy to cook on
stone wear non stick omlete pan with lid. very easy to clean and nothing sticks, no spray necessary
extra large cookie sheets: use these for cooking pounds of fish at a time in the oven
crock pot: you can cook and keep your fish chicken beef or whatever very moist and tender with this bad boy. turn it on and leave it
rice cooker: i steam all my rice and veges in this bad boy. same as crock pot, turn it on and forget about it
blender/food processor: i just upgraded to the ninja system and it is fantastic. i had an oyster one that was both blender and processor from walmart that worked very very well also
wet/dry measuring cups: lots of these cause you can never find them. get the ones that the measures are stamped on and not written. the writing wears off haha
lemon/lime squeezer: like a pair of pliers. makes getting lemon or lime juice very easy early in the am
waffle iron: make protein pancakes and waffles on this from time to time to change it up

ok a good trick i picked up for consuming lots and lots of protein, beef/chicken mainly. go ahead and grill up some steaks or chicken breasts. cut into cubes and toss them into the processor and blend them down to a pulled pork consistency. add sauce and toss into a tuperware container. it is fast to eat and digests fast as well.
carbs in a pinch: process your oats into a fine powder. add in some cinnamon or whatever you want to flavor it with. toss that in a shaker and add water. cup of carbs to go

problems with moisture in your chicken fish or steak. i will make up a aluminum foil packet toss in some meat with jalepenos or some veges and wrap it tight. throw it on the grill for 20 min each side and it steams the meat and traps the moisture in very well. you can also do this with various marinades as well

i will put up new stuff as i go but right now i am drawing a blank. throw up any questions and it may jog my mind a little bit

Here we go! I want to know about your Lunch Box!! We went to Mr O a couple years back and were laughing at the BB Lunch Box Systems that they were selling. NOW doesn't seem so weird. Please tell us how you do it.

ok, i have 2 different ones. i have a rolling cooler that i take along in the car or truck when i need a lot of food for an extended period of time. the other one i have is a bright pink 6 pack bag. it has slots for 5 meals 2 slots for shakers a top compartment for supps or whatever you want. it is an awesome piece of equipment to have if you are away from home for 4-5 meals a day. they also make a 4 pack bag that's a bit smaller for 3 meals and another backpack style and brief case style which both hold 5 meals and anything and everything else you could every want. it really is a great investment if you dont have a fridge close by

done for the day. workout took a little longer and i was pretty spent so i skipped tris until tomorrow. i am still pushing as hard as i can without hurting anything but i know when i hit the limit and today i had no gas to hammer tris like they should be. tomorrow is no cardio so i should have more than enough gas to hammer them and hams into oblivion.
i made some minor changes to the diet this week and more will be added in next week. as of right now we are on point and well ahead of sched so i am trying to time that peak to be 100% on the right day. funny thing is a buddy of mine that trains at other places and at different times says all the other competitors are talking about me and how i am the guy to beat for the overalls. haha no one has seen what i look like at all yet so that's kind of funny. he says they are going off the last couple of years but they are in for a treat because i am far bigger and leaner than ever and i got a new magic trick in on time. so game on everyone game on. top that off with i am motivated as hell and picked up a great new local sponsor.
