Nah mate, that's not a muffin that we have over here. I'm having one for brekko in the morning I'll take a pic of one for you then you can tell me you call them something else!

looks like an english muffin to me.. here is 2 pics of muffins. first one is the english muffin, second is the standard muffin

[Back In Black]

Yeah, that's a muffin!

Crumpets are very different in texture and has holes in the outside, the butter runs right through them. You don't split them like an English muffin.



Did your woofer come home mate?

[--->>405<<---]

Not yet. Sad wife..

[--->>405<<---]

last nites dinner:

the first one needs no explanation, the second pic is a homemade shake with vanilla breyers ice cream, butterfinger bar, 2 reeses PB cups, milk.. dang good! my own homemade blizzard! (lunk)

id also like to note i requested fresh baked hot bread with butter so my wife bought 4 loaves like shown in the pic. i ate 2 of em. plus another half chikn plus more potatoes.. basically take that pic and multiply it times 2 and thats what i ate

i asked my wife if she minded if i got back to 26%bf again so we could eat like that every nite. her response: "its up to you" .. she does not cook like i do! when i do the cooking, below is how we eat, when im on my diet she cooks for her and our daughter and its NOT like the pic below. dont get me wrong she can cook well she just does not usually apply herself. to her credit the only thing i actually cooked in the pic is the chikn.

also the potatoes shown below are pretty good. cut up red potatoes tossed in EVOO, coated with salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary. baked in the oven for about an hr on a cookie sheet. i highly recommend them!

[--->>405<<---]

id like to note here im noticing why people do cutting cycles. i have reduced carbs to 200g EOD pre-workout and have been a bit weaker in the gym. it seems to keep fat coming off past this point of 9-10% i may have to increase frequency of fasting days and/or keep carbs where they are and i can see where a cycle of test or tren would help with strength as well as ability to further reduce cals/carbs without losing LBM..

now i am starting to get it

How long do you take to eat the 200g of carbs pre workout? Do you eat any carbs post or there after?

No pwo carbs? Isn't that the best time to store/ replace glycogen?

Hopefully by march is up and running, thats if i dont set myself back by cheating lol. Definitely have a strong feeling about this time around!!! Cant wait to see your results bud!! Definitely need motivation for my bulk as well

[Bodacious]

Dang 405 just looked at the meal you had. Damn that looks good. Got a quick question for you what is fasting??? Just wondering. Thanks

[Back In Black]

Mate, I'm currently down about 7lbs in 3 day due to a super long fast and an unpleasant cases of the Tom Tits.

Do you think the Kitchen Aid Mixer that i bought for the Mrs will help me regain my lost 'mass'

How ya doing big man?

[--->>405<<---]

LOL.. Damn those tom tits!!

Let me know if u can locate a pink kitchen aid mixer! My wife has been looking for one for awhile. Im doing well! Getting veins startn to pop in stomach area. At gym now bout to hit 60min fasted cardio session 1 for the day.

Lookn forward to the pound and a quarter of 93/7 beef i get to eat tonite when i break my fast about 1800-1900.. I dont get beef with that much fat often! Whats funny is most people would consider that pretty lean, for me its a splurge only cuz store was out of 96/4!!

And yes i believe the mixer could not only help u regain lost mass but also accumulate some "new mass" if u like!!

[Back In Black]

You can get pink ones over here. About £450. I reckon that's about $700. Depends what colour pink, can you not get the charity edition one? They are all manufactured over there. Maybe we just get the stuff you don't really want

[--->>405<<---]

ill have to chek into that.. 700bucks.. boy they sure do think highly of their mixers dont they!

[Back In Black]

It's the import costs into this country. There about $400 in the states. It's a new pink charity one so you'll be able to get one, as long as its the right colour pink!!!

[--->>405<<---]

Dad gummit man $300 to import a $400 item!! Thats tuff!!

[Back In Black]

Dad gummit man $300 to import a $400 item!! Thats tuff!!

To be fair, that one has a $50 price hike cos of the charity angle. The absolute best price I could get mine for was about $640. But yeah, still a whopping import/shipping cost.

Still, if the girl's gotta have it! Tell you what, if she's having it I'd better be getting it

[--->>405<<---]

its always nice when new veins start showing their smiling faces!

[Back In Black]

Did your Towel 'fall off' sir?

Oblique and abs veins, I love mine!

Blimey, have you nowt better to do

Pleased you made your way over to this section mate, hopefully 2013 can be an amazing year for you in terms of physique change!

[Back In Black]

405, just popping in to say hi. You are so far ahead me right now. Haven't trained in 5 weeks since my op and some flu flu virus for the last 2 weeks has caused me to drop about 9lbs. Oh, and I just threw my back out again!

On the plus side, I feel my TRT kicking in and have 2 cycles planned so I reckon I'll be chasing you down by September!

how r u coming along with ur healing?

2 cycles planned huh?? bulk and cutting cycles? what they gonna be? u also know ur gonna have to get dialed in with TRT first. ive been on 14months and am just starting to get close i think..

[Back In Black]

I seem to have full range if movement but I'm gonna be weak for a month. Hopefully start lifting in a week or so. Swelling an bruising gone but I have some weird 'divots' in the muscle where the glands used to be.

2013 is about lean bulking. Once I'm back up to speed I'll do a short burst lean bulk, then maintenance, then a short lean bulk again and see where I'm at.

TRT over here isn't like it is over there. I have pretty good numbers after 2 months on gel. We don't use AI's as standard in view of the long term health issues. I'm due my next blood test in march!

bunny were here to help pal! and man that mustve been a long read going thru the whole thread! i have learned a ton and grown a lot in my dietary knowledge thats for sure! now the best part is i feel in control of my body fat% and if i do gain any itll be deliberate as opposed to before when i just basically "hoped" i wouldnt get fat!

sounds good! i was wondering what u were thinking of running gear-wise? and yes i am completely off AI now for going on 5 weeks. blood work next week to see where im at. feel good and dont think E2 will be issue after switching to subq.

[Back In Black]

Prop mate. It means I can do 6 week blasts and get more of them in. I'm thinking it will make maintenance easier on my body too and gradual gains should be better than whomping results every 10-12 week cycle.

We'll see if it all makes sense when I run it. TRT makes you evaluate it differently.

What's your plans?
