August Most Improved Competition [ENTRY OPEN until start]

[guitarzan]

How in the world do you separate that many eggs!
I think I'm gonna shoot for 100 carbs too, I think 150-200 protein. I can get by with less than 1 gram per pound since I'm on tren. Gonna keep fat low as possible.

100 carbs = 400 cals, 200 protein = 800 cals. That's just 1200 cals, you'll need more energy from fat. Don't crash your metabolism (it will adapt to the very low calories and will preserve bodyfat as a defense mechanism). Start at 2500 cals and give some room for burning more through cardio. Well that 2500 number works fine for me but I'd guess it would do so roughly for you too, I don't think you'd do a good cut at your size with over 3000 cals or under 2000.

Ok, should I also up the carbs, maybe do a 40/40/20, p/c/f?

1/2 gal container. Pasteurized. Pour and measure. In the egg section of the store.

[Charlie67]

The nice thing about the pasteurized egg white liquid is that, like you said, you don't have to cook it if you're in a hurry, just measure and drink it.

Has anyone tried MuscleEgg? The Cake Batter flavor is awesome... expensive.. but delicious.

Gym Time: Chest/Arms

Flat bench 6x3 (speed focused at 70% of 1RM)
Incline DB 3x10-12
Hammer Press 3x10
Flys of some kind 2x15
3 sets of biceps whatevers
3 sets of tri whatevers

My gym is so crowded at 5pm I never know what arm movements I'll do, and the order of chest is variable. On some level, that's a good thing.

For everyone else who is working out tonight, I hope you crush it!

PS: Pictures tomorrow.... Its funny how I make fairly big decisions all day, I effect peoples careers and I can allocate significant resources to important projects.... I'm fine with all that, but the prospect of posting pictures of my chubby ass on the internet makes me want to vomit.

(no Obs, I will not literally be posting pics of my ass... I'm not nearly as brave as you)

[KittyO1]

I'm an hashimoto's wreck too, currently on 150mcg levothyroxine.

It’s no fun! My endo refuses to treat it until my thyroid fully stops functioning.

So duh just returned from chest. Asked for a spotter but regretted it, it was terrible. Told him to help me squeeze 2-3 further reps after failure point, but he started taking off weight straight away, then yelled at me to stop instead of push more. That kinda spoiled my session as it was main working set of main exercise. Ok.... better on my own next time.


Chest fly machine 2 wu

Incline DB press, 2 wu, 32kgx10 (wasted one), 27.5x8, 25x7
Incline DB flies, 20kgx10, 17.5x8

Decline DB press, 20x8

Chest press machine 3 working changing seat level 8ish reps each

Cables, different angles


Done, quite the short session, chest is nicely fatigued can hardly abduct arms.

That’s quite frustrating!! I need to get better about asking for a spot but then again you never know what they’ll do! Lol

Looks like you made the most of the rest of your session!

I don’t have the patience to go at 5pm! 5-5:30 am gal here!

That's nonsense. Can't you change it? I don't even refer to an endo anymore I manage it on my own. GP scripts me what I tell him anyway.

Be sure to take 2-3g of omega 3s in, they do wonders. Without them the lymph nodes on sides of neck would bulge out from the ongoing inflammation.

I can’t seem to find a good Dr. Spent years fighting for them to dig enough to even find the hashi’s. It’s crazy what it can do to your body though!! Causes all sorts of issues! Glad your GP is at least writing you scripts!

Oh geezzzz.... at 5 a.m. I'm still dreaming about winning the lottery and toting around an IV drip full of tren.

Stop over-thinking, simplicity facilitate many things.

If I drink those egg whites out the carton, I can clear out a room, maybe the whole floor that I’m on. It’s bad!!!

That is the downside. But it’s so easy. I mix 10 egg whites a pack of instant grits and an 8oz yogurt fruit smoothie in a shaker turn it up and drink it every morning when I wake up. 15 sec tops.

"Instant grits? No self respecting Southerner uses Instant grits...".

Best movie ever.

But seriously, I'm absolutely going to try that.

Mrs. AG has me spoiled. It's the old school slow cook oats or grits for me. Matches my mentality and metabolism.

Crack em all in bowl. And punch out yolks with fingers
