Pillar's Log

[gymrat827]

normal eggs or whites i can do about 4 or 5 with 2 piece bacon and 1 piece wheat toast. i couldnt just eat them plain. no way

Ok so I carbed up like an idiot for a day and a half... Felt great. Now its back to the grind with the keto. I don't usually record my carb ups only because its like a break to me. Get to relax a little. Anyway, I'll have some updates starting tonight. Thinking I need to get back into the gym and at least work around this injury. I'm getting soft on top of flat with this keto

 

[gymrat827]

i cant keto diet, or low carb. but my metabolism is way faster. whats you are doing for your joints?? how long did you rest the injury??

I see a chiro twice per month and he takes care of most of my joint issues. I take the usual joint supps. The injured rib is only two weeks old or so. Still resting it. Probably gonna take 6 weeks.

Bro... eggs with lawry's and red hot... You can't beat that... Just can't do it.

well now im donig pepper, lawry seasoned salt, 4oz chedder cheese, 1/4 avacado, 2 pieces bacon...i can now eat 3 eggs instead of 2.

huge improvement.

only joint stuff that i even think works is cissus and fish oil. all the other stuff is total shit IMHO

No energy on this keto diet... Weak as workout today. Gonna need to fix the diet to get back to it.

 

[PillarofBalance]

Didn't do much of anything today... Just work for about half a day. Started adding carbs back into the diet. had some rice with one of my meals.

I'm assuming all the SPAM put POB in the dirt cause he hasn't posted in months! I'm with POB on the chicken tough!

Ive eaten so damn much Yard Bird I have problems trying to come up with new ways of disguising it!

Presently Im pressure cooking it plain then shred that shit. 2/3 lbs last me a good day and a half maybe. What I like about it shredded is it so versatile. Nuke it mix in BBQ sauce qick sandwich, throw it on a salad stuff it in a pita roll it in a tortila. It goes on and on you can flaver each handlefull ass u chose. Rather than eating the next 8 chicken tits with the same old flavor.

and Spam really SPAM even the homeless people around here dont identify that as food LOL

 

[Phatbastard]

I love the eggs also I do 10 for breakfest 6whites 4 whole or 5/5 I'm not affraid of yoke some times I do all 10 whole but fuck thats a shit load of food to get down piece of dry toast or 2 im happy. Salsa a must for me or Green tabasko.

 

[PillarofBalance]

How you enjoying the fat grips??

Great workout man!

How you enjoying the fat grips??

Great workout man!

With the deload and such low volume they didn't have their full effect but I am looking forward to using them more. I have some tennis elbow an carpel tunnel issues that they will help with. Lookin forward to some painful forearm pumps!
