[jdl508]

been hearing alot about how good these bars are

I've been gobbling clif builder bars but thats over now that I realized they use soy isolate for their main protein source

good on ya for setting up the medical clinic too, is that a job thing or school / volunteer

Damn those are some good bars looking at the ingredients list. Thanks a lot man.
And its a volunteer effort to boost my Medical School resume. Almost everyone says they volunteered and got good grades and have recommendation letters, but I think this is something that really sets me apart. It's a really cool thing to do too, you acutally make a difference in the lives of a lot of people. It's also 1 hell of a conversation starter for an interview and if i can get admissions to ask me about this over their usual questions, its a much easier close. Plus my GPA is like a 3.5 (gasp) which is not as great as most admitted students, but i took a larger course load wiht a Fiance & biology major

You can read about it here...Basically we shadow and help doctors/dentists provide medical care to the residents of these poverty ridden communities and teach sanitation practices as well as give out drugs/vitamins...etc.

Hey man that's a very good thing you are doing . The world needs more warm hearted folks like yourself ..
If you happen to benefit it then you deserve it. Nice work on the training also. Here's a recipie I use for my own bars it's delish.

8 scoops chocolate whey( I use on gold standard)
1 cup raw oats
1/4 cup natty PB
3 tbs natty organic honey
Just enough milk to mix into a sludge
Leave bowl/ pan/ container In fridge until it hardens .I sprinkle flax seeds on top while it's still gooey too.
I like to cut the bars into like 6 pieces
Not
Really good for traveling but great for a snack


Ride it like you stole it!!

Thanks for the kind words. And yeah it's a cool way to impact people's lives in the world. It's something I want to do in the future. I eventually wanna specialize in cosmetic plastic surgery (yes lipo/boobs/nose jobs) but when I'm fully licensed, I still want to do charity work for kids with cleft palates and other deformations.
Once saw a surgery video of a girl who had no left eye socket n her eye was by her ear, the surgeon gave her a brand new eye socket and moved the eye. In 3 months, you wouldn't know ever had this deformation--obviously this wasn't a charity case but just an example.

Thank you for the recipe, I'll make a mock batch first see how it goes, I'll try to replace the milk with something else just to make sure it doesn't spoil- I think the travel time is like 18 hours total so don't want to risk using milk.

Dam bro I guess that was a good workout!
I would like to see you put your Leg press right after your Squats tho, just IMO its better that way.
Also good job on the volunteering bro. That is awsome and you gain much RESPECT bro.
Good on ya!

Yeah overall good--I started too light on the Front Squats but man, doing full body with high volume is tough mentally and physically so i started on the light end on it. I did a pretty good job of starting off with the proper weights in most of the exercises I chose for the program, front squat being the only one I went light on because I usually do triples n singles on front squats so 5x5 will be a whole new game.

I will try that next time with front squats then leg press immediately after.

Thanks Z! It's going to be a really cool time. I'll make sure to post up pics of it late in August.

I don't want to come off like a guy begging, but if you want to help a guy out on just spreading the word to help raise donations, I'd immensely appreciate it. If not, I totally get it, economy is at a delicate tipping point at the moment and everyone has their own issues.

Here's the link anyways.

Diet 6/21
6AM-workout- 40g carbs/10g amino acids
Postworkout- 3 scoops whey/2 cups rice/veggies/ 1tbsp olive oil
Lunch: 1lb 90/10 beef/ 6 egg whites
Lunch 2: Protein shake from Protein bar (more on this at the bottom)
Dinner: double beef burrito from chipotle with rice black beans n some cheese

I had an interview today to make some extra money during the summer school year. I was hoping to get a paid position in doing research but I didn't get the job so I will be doing research assisting at a different place for free. Anyways I needed to make some cash n so I applied at this up n coming chain called The Protein Bar. It's like a dream. Had a group interview just now, rocked it against 8 other people. Was a bit nervous at first because it was a lot of late 20s/early 30 year olds so they had more experience but their responses weren't as good. Crossing fingers. "we do healthy...healthier" is the motto.

Check out the menu, it's like the perfect semi fast food restaurant for our lifestyle. Prices are comparable to chipotle for their wraps/ bowls. Shakes are between 4-5 bucks n they fill you up.

Workout today was 8 hill sprints and calf/ab work- like 30 minute session total.

Diet is usual just dropping 100g carbs. Weight is up another .5lbs in about 6 days look smoother but I think that's mainly cuz of the extra 100g carbs/day from previous weeks.
6AM- 1 scoop whey/30g carbs
Post workout- 2 scoops whey
Lunch: double burger from Johnny rockets (so good)
lunch 2- chicken breast n veggies
Dinner: more chicken and veggies

In other news,
guy just stopped me n said "man all u are missing is the suspenders, you dress like this all bitches be all over you" then he shook my hand lol!
Ah the people of Chicago.

Still waiting on call back about job at Protein Bar. Should call by Monday if I got the gig they said.
