The Big Bruce and JKurz Eating Journal.....

[Bruce]

all good hear brotha i have a fucked up disc in my back so i'm doing physical therapy on it, i'm gonna have to go light on lifting for a bit and hold off on my cycle till my pain subsides. i ate pizza tonight with a .5lb filet and i'm bout to take down a whole thing of oatmeal cookies soft baked the big ones. weed man, thats how i do it. i love to eat and i just keep track of it now. its simple. i can't eat as much in the day so i make up for it the second i get home, if i am a tiny bit hungry i eat, never feel hungry when i'm home, thats how i do

I honest to GOD need to know HOW you do it and the science behind it....don't give me this genetic excuse bull shit, becuase that's not it.....are you shredded all year long? If so, abs are tight in the am, then pm rolls around and after you've been scarfing food all day + drinking, are they faded and is this normal? Water retention? It's just so fing depressing....it makes me want to start to do cardio again, but I only do it for 30 minutes 1x a week in the pm compared to 7 when I used to......so, given that, I guess my state is ok, having a tiny blurr at night without cardio...


I guess it's my mind....I truly have a shitty view of how abs are SUPPOSE to be.......Are we suppose to be this ripped? Can most people see there abs as well as us? I'm sorry to kill you with this ab thing, but I view it as the best gauge, as obviously we store fat there FIRST......let me know.......what can I take or do to stay lean during this phase? I understand I will gain fat and have no problem changing fat for strength, but when I stay the same in the gym (WEAK!) that's when it gets frustrating and I think, shit, if I'm going to stay weak, whjy slam all these cals and why not do cardio.....you with me?

bro one hour it might look like i have 7-8 abs another it will look like i have 4-6 it just depends on. i piss every damn 30mins cause i drink so much gatorade and water so i am usually not bloated but sometimes if i dont' get in the fluids i am. yes man i am shredded all year long. it is genetics not bullshit. bro i haven't trained in a few days just takin vicodin and getting physical therapy, still eating like mad and i don't put on an ounce of fat. i don't know what to tell ya. me and my girl laugh when i eat a bunch of mcd's and shit and my abs look even better. its just genetics. if i get lazy i get more ripped. so you can see its not difficult to stay ripped while eating and training right. feel me. you are a bit older than me, i'm 26 in a few days, but you have to get over your abs.

look man, by the look of your abs they will not go away even at like 15% or more. you are like slat1 who at 20 or so bf i think he said had still 8 visible abs. i don't know if you really want to compete or what. i never did and never could because i am just not built for that, but i modeled for a while with a major company and my abs don't touch yours and they loved them man. guys like you with those insane 8 packs that stick out of their shirts(i like my abs but i'm not gonna say they are like yours) they can beef up and still keep them. i had a friend who was 6 2 160 probably about 6% because all he ate was a smoothie and sushi and did mad cardio. our agent agreed to buy his sushi every meal if he would eat like a man and get up to 175 or so. he got up and probably went up to 10% but his abs still blew mine away still at the same bf. it got him a major print job for a cologne company. all he had to do was get a bit bigger and they used the light to extentuate his abs and he looked as lean as before. made a shit load of money and he'll get residuals for the rest of his life. its a major company btw in major mags. no matter what bf i got to i would never have landed it because i just don't have that perfect ab structure like you and him. my point is your abs are your genetic advantage. so they are not gonna go away fast. my advantage is that i do not get fat no matter what. but my abs aren't as crazy as you even at the same bf. so use your advantages know your weaknesses and work accordingly. my chest sucks and there is nothing i can do about it but keep working at it. i just am happy my back looks good. you should always be ripped in bruce's opinion with your gentetics and diet.

with those abs you should be getting on 20 lbs of lean mass and be on the cover of the 2xist underwear box. that might sound gay but the money you would make and be able to train and eat free for long time is far from gay.

nice thread

I finish working out about 430pm. I usually lay down about 9ish as I have to be up at 5am for work. Problem: I have ZERO appetite postworkout. I usually have a shake, and force down a salad about an hour later. Then I'm stufed for the night. However, midnight, 2am, 4am rolls around and I am STARVING...it actually wakes me up. Last night for example, I had a casein shake with almonds at 9pm, slep, woke starving, had a muscle milk with some veggies.......slept....woke at 2am, same deal....another shake with some pb.....does this mean I'm not eating enough during the day(Im stuffing myself with 3500 cals).......or what? Does anyone else have this problem? Is this a recipe for fat gain? If I continue to drink shakes, eat bars, veggies, etc when I wake?

I think the problem is that shakes and salads digest very quickly bro. Try some anpb or cottage cheese or meat or even nuts at least.. something tangible the body can work to break down over 5+ hours

ive told him a million times, quit with the supps, eat meat and meat and meat, there is no sub for food, its not gonna make you more lean to do a bunch of shakes and shit
