Hey bro, nice to see an awesome routine and an awesome diet, you will really see results. How do you keep yourself so strict on a diet? I am 22 years old and I have a2nd kid on the way and it is so hard to eat healthy every day. I wonder if it even matters at my age....for example taking a multivitamin and fish oil right after eating Burger King.....anyway I will be checking this log often bro

Shift work just throws everything outta wack, I don't see how some of you do it!

^^agreed! My training went to sh*t when I worked shifts. Glad I'm not doing that anymore.

Yeah some of us have it so easy by comparison to those that do shift work. I have to say that Im in awe of all of the contestents in here tho. They all making sacrifices to do this. And most all of em are sticking to it and just getting it done.
Well Done All!

Gladiator, I appreciate the support, once I psychologically get myself into the mindset to go strict it isn't so bad. Just as long as I cook ahead for most things and have keep some quick foods to have on hand i keep things like oats sweet potatoes whey the jugs of egg whites in the milk carton things tuna almonds. As long as I don't crazy on a cheat meal or get stuck in a bind and need something in a pinch I really don't crave any of the old things I used to eat. In a way your right it looks like your carrying a good deal of muscle mass so you could probably eat the fast food and still have good gains but for me I just feel so much better and have much better energy on the better quality less processed variety. I have a naturally slower metabolism and am not carrying as much muscle mass ( but working diligently on that).

Excellent job in here , I'm going to look see if I can get some buckwheat round here then maybe you could share your recipe for pancakes lol ,

I usually just use the buckwheat or whole wheat mix about 1/2 cup of it with 4 to 5 egg whites. Mix some vanilla or cinnamon in them. I don't care much for eggs so sometimes I'll spread a light layer of natty pb on top with some artificial sugar packet sprinkled on top weird but kinda good. I used to make them with oats and egg whites but just didn't like the consistancy. I really like the rack pulls where you can use heavier weight really is the only advantage I find in them I throw in regular deads once about every three weeks now and seems to work out well. Aside from ripping my hands apart where I'm just getting used to the higher weights.

I think cooking ahead is my main problem, i dont know how to cook anything except mac and cheese and eggs. BTW thats an old pic ahha im smaller now, but Im ready to get back into it
