220
For some time now my bodyweight has been bouncing between 210-215lbs. I have been focusing for the last few months with gettingas close to 8 meals a day as i can. unfortunately at least 3 of these meals have been more like snacks, like pbj or a quick quicken sandwhich. My midnight feedings, which i was notorious for, had been the one i was most likely to skip lately. In an effort to get more calories in and at the same time try not to go broke, I starting bringing about 1/3lbs of barillo multigrain pasta with about 8 oz of chicken diced up with me for my meals at work. I would still bring my loaf of bread and pbj to have as well, and actually i usually ate the pasta and a sandwhich for 1 meal and the rest the of the pasta and chicken at my other 2 feedings at work. Sometimes i got another pbj at the end of the day too. well i guess i hit the nail on the head with this plan because i am up to 220lbs as of last nightand the wife said i looked great the other night way before i talked about getting on the scale. Per 2oz The pasta has 210calories, 2grams of fat(1gram polyunsat, .5gram monounsat), 0 cholesterol, 25mgs of sodium, 10grams of protein, 38grams of carbs(4grams of fiber and 2grams sugar).
Last week i just used tomato sauce on the pasta, this week i actually made a homemade mac'n'cheese with the pasta. I did also make up another pound of pasta to have with the red sauce. My wettest dream right now to to make it to 230lbs. I'm planning on sticking with this diet for as long as i can. Im thinking i'll throw some diced up steak in the mix and also some haddock to keep the protein sources varied and keep from getting bored.
The big take home message i want to impress upon people is that diet is THE KEY!! Yes gear is great, hell i havent been completely off in years, but they are only a piece of the puzzle. I haven't added anything special to my cycle lately, in fact i simplified it. I went from test, tren e and deca to just test about 6 weeks ago.
Well its time to pack my work clothes, pack my lunch box and go destroy my legs. i just read an article with hany rambod and he recommended doing 2 warm up sets with progressively heavier weights and then 1 working set to failure at 8 plus 2 forced reps and one set to failure at 8 plus 2 forced reps and 5 partials. Sounds pretty intense, going to try to work that scheme into this workout somehow, maybe on my squats(if i can find a spotter) or just on extensions/curls. I'll figure it out while i'm warming up on the treadmill.
