Powerlifting Nutrition 101!!!

Am I the only one here who has gotten hooked on Big Mac's since they went to 89cents each? I have been eating like 4 or 5 a day and the chubby chicks at McDonalds all know me now. I think I am finally getting sick of all those Big Mac's now!

that sounds crazy man!! I know they're cheap now, but that many cant be good for you! thats a LOT of fat and grease!
but hey if your feeling good and still strong, then its all good ... just may want to check your cholesterol pretty soon
but I would prefer your flax and whey you posted instead

Speaking of that, Can you tell the difference in strength between eating those bigMacs vs. the Whey and Flax?

This week I went way overboard on the Big Mac's! I just had 5 more today starting an hour after my DE squat day and I now I want NO MORE big macs for awhile! I was doing the big whey+flax shakesin a.m. and p.m. with the Mac's in between.

I know the whey+flax shakes work though because they worked before my Big Mac addiction started about 2 weeks ago.

I did get stronger and only a little fatter from the Mac's though I think the flax helps burn some of the flab while eating the Mac's

Now its back to the whey+flax shakes with regular stuff in between like pasta and healthy stuff like turkey subs and pizza.

humm, I find it interesting that you got stronger with the Mac's than the flax/whey!!

However, this brings me back to my original post where I said it seems like the most "unhealthy" foods (Mac's) get you the strongest.....and now you just said it did for you!!!

Seems like those Mac's may have something that the whey/flax doesn't! Maybe they have some secrete creatine

Or maybe those extra fat/cals were needed and gave you more energy?

maybe they use high androgenic grade a prime cut cattle beef that were recently injected with a high anabolic vetenarian steroid moments before processing???

could that be why they made him strongeR?

IMO the better stuff im eating, pizza, big macs, whatever, puts me in a better mood because im not depriving myself of the good shit, and this good mood carries over into the gym, a more carefree, undeprived mindset allowing you to just focus on the weight. This could also be why some people say their heaviest lifts come after a night of hardcore boozing.

Big people lift big weights. Eating tuna fish and rice cakes is ok if you are on a deserted island and cannot fashion a spear to kill a pig, or monkey or something, but men need to eat meat!!!

Red meat will make you stronger than clean "bodybuilder" foods. I have no emperical evidence to back this up, but I know if I eat steak, baked potatoes and burgers, etc. . . I will lift more than if I eat rice cakes, salads, and tofu.
