Ol' Roman's Come Back Crusade!

[Times Roman]

It's been awhile, thought I'd update some progress

215 lbs
13% bf (still)
still taking the TB. stinger in my left forearm, trying to out run this thing and prevent further trauma/pain.
been off the morphine for maybe three weeks? I was on only for a couple weeks, and the dose was fairly light, with oral tabs.
off the shaker cup meals. no more drinking liquid egg white. once off the shaker cup meals, gas/bloat eliminated by over 90%.

meals are usually as follows:

1 banana (wake up)
8 whole eggs for bfast w/:
creatine
msm
multi
fishoil
resveratrol
psyllium husk fiber


what I take to lunch:
2 ea 12.5 ounce cans of chicken
4 or 5 pieces of fruit

this gives me almost 150 grams of protein and 1700 calories, all before dinner.

I'll update more later as things change

easy.

one 12.5 can of chicken in the blender. add one pint of liquid egg whites. the liquid egg white is viscous enough to keep the solids suspended. in fact, it takes awhile for the chicken to settle down to the bottom. Maybe an hour or more?

I cheated last night. was coming up short on my calories, and "no time". so I gulped down 1/3 cup olive oil, just for the hell of it. Not sure i'll be doing that again. btw, 1/3 cup of olive oil is over 600 calories

So I was 195 when I came home in April. Been eating well over TDEE averaging maybe 400 cals or so over. I'm maybe 212. So that's 17 lbs. in 6 months. Which is an average of 2.5 lbs/mo. BF% dropped 1% over same time period.

You know, I was hoping for more of a rebound since almost 250 of may last year. But 2.5lbs/mo is about all I'm getting lately. My current goal is 220lbs. by Feb. which is 4 months away, and I need around ten pounds, so that sounds about right.

It would be interesting to see if I can gain another 25 lbs year over year up to Feb 2016, putting me back at around 250. Sad thing is, I lost the 50 pounds in under a year, and it takes over two years to put it back on.

You young bulls take note, and be glad you can gain easy in your youth. It won't always be that way!

I'm about 215 right now. I think I may have found my groove. my gym strength is up considerably, my routines are "excellent" for me, incredible pumps and no injuries yet. Been home 6 months now, and almost to the point I feel I can trust my body not to blow out when I push it. I'm thinking if I can hold on to gaining 3lbs a month, I should be somewhere around 230 by april. And my BF% seems to be holding at 13%. Not great, but at least not increasing either.

I think I may be outrunning the tendon issue in my left forearm. Been back on the TB for over three, maybe four weeks now.

I think, on average, I'm about 217 right now.

this gaining 2lbs a month is a slow process! I try not to be impatient, and have to constantly remind myself not to over eat. but so far, the 34" waist (pant size) doesn't seem to be getting any tighter.

went clothes shopping the other day

had a helluva time

at 18" neck, a bit tight, but with a 35" sleeve and a "slim fit", well, I was looking at a very specific shirt for a wedding I'm going to, and had to special order the damn thing. I refuse to wear a regular shirt where you pull the stomach out and it gives you so much room for a friggin huge beer belly. I want to wear clothes that fit right, not for some fat ass beer swilling couch potato.....

what, you don't like beer?

[Times Roman]

Guinness is my go-to favorite............................

Guinness draught in the can is what I usually get, has that nitrogen ball in there?

I still really haven't broke 220 yet. Trying to be careful by not adding weight only in the gut. The speed limit still seems to be about 2lbs of lbm per month.

[Times Roman]

breaking 220 has become a challenge. I'm no longer thinking i'll benefit from any more "rebound" since it's been a year now. and hopefully, if my back gets fixed, i'll be able to up the intensity in the gym, although I really haven't been slacking too much....
