Things are really coming along perfectly. It sure feels good to be putting back on some size and getting my strength back. I am about 80% of the strength I had in my hay day but everything is moving in the right direction. I am not back deadlifting 405 for reps yet but I should be there in a month or two.
I have made 2 changes since my last check in.
1. This is kind of a do as I say and not as I do thing. I am not a big eater and have always struggled with appetite. About 50% of my meals are a big bowl of oatmeal with whey isolate (I use isolation from n2bm.com), chia, hemp or flax seeds and a scoop of greens powder. I don't recommend using that much protein shakes for any of my clients but some times you just need to do what you have to do to get the calories in. I have always said that the best program is the one you can stick to. Oats + whey tastes really good and it's really easy on my stomach. Also no clean up and no cooking required.
I have done something with clients in the past who were nurses and had 8 hours shifts with only one break. I would have them do 4 solid food meals per day with 3 shakes in between. I don't see a problem with it as long as you are using a pure whey isolate that is naturally flavoured and sweetened with a natural calorie free sweetener like stevia.
2. I bought 2 vials of nutrobal from sarms1.com and have been using a small 12.5mg (0.5mL) dosage 30 minutes before bed. It's been helping big time with my appetite. When I wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, I am not overly hungry but hungry enough to get another small meal in and go back to bed.
Thanks for all the support guys. I am a regular person just like all of you. There are times when my alarm goes off at 5AM and I think to myself how nice hitting that snooze button would be but you guys motivate me to get out of bed, get a meal in and head to the gym.
I'm hoping to hit around 210 by Christmas. Hold it for 2 months and then start my pre-contest prep around mid February for my springs shows.
