Yeah, I am not sure how that works. I could be off on my calorie counts, but I would say I am in the 2500 calorie range. I am also taking some pretty good supplements, and what I do in the gym is a mix of body building and CrossFit, so there is no way I can keep from putting on some solid mass. If I ate double what I eat now, I could hit 245-250 at 12% by September, but I don't want to be that big. I prefer being big enough, and functional.

 

Just genetics. My body is good at breaking stuff down (particularly carbs) but not as efficient at building or fat storage. If I was an early man I'd have to be a pretty good hunter to survive and winter would suck hard.

 

Yeah, I dump weight fast once I am not eating as much. But once I start eating clean (I am pretty hard core on the Zone blocks now), I can pack it on.

 

^^^ those BIG ole wrist have to account for 3-5 pound each!

 

They are attached to big fists that are going to pound your head when I come down to NOLA. It's clobbering time!!!

 

Sounds like they stroke a tiny.....

 

I thought someone of your professed caliber would bring more than that weak scheisse. You might actually be fun to drink with.

 

Started biking to work on my legs. I fill my paintball pod pack with water F- your camel back.

Question to all you workout junkies. After im done.. I always eat a steak or something like that.. is there even any need to have a protein shake? I say no.. thoughts?
Mind you I have like 7% BF...

 

^ 7% bf is awesome, well done

i would say no as well
keep the shake for a snack later

i do not subscribe to the whole "25g limited absorption" of protein per meal

so i would enjoy the steak alone with its fats and add some complex carbs on top

 

Just finished some climbing repeats on the bike! Workouts for the week, complete I guess. Though I didn't get the distance I wanted, doing a ride completely devoted to climbing training (albeit light climbing) is an adequate substitute to longer, flatter saddle time.

For the week:
Swim: 10.2km
Bike: ~37mi (Short, I know) - 1 fast-paced hustle, 1 climbing repeat.

I was hoping to be closer to 70 or so miles this week but I'm doing a longer ride next week, and I'm sure I'll hit that mark no problem.

Kept it fairly healthy with food this week. Though, greasy Chinese food is never my friend...I managed though.

And I agree with the no to protein shake post-steak. While I was working out, I'd get more than enough protein post-workout if I had a meat-heavy meal (All-you-can-eat Korean BBQ, anyone?). Shake for later is the best idea.
