Love beets for the pump! I've got beet root crystals that I'll sometimes throw into my pre workout mealThe cod, yams and beets look really good.
beets are really good too before training if you want more of a pump!
Cardio everyday my friendNice training session from yesterday.
I like how you made Sure you got in your cardio.
I only started incorporating planks in the last month or so because a few guys recommend I add them in. So glad I did, I've noticed more stability in my core on all my heavier movements (Squats and bent rows). They're torture, but they work!planks are no joke at all.
A lot of guys who are big bodybuilder types can't even do them for 1 minute, you did them for 3 minutes and 30 seconds. That's amazing.
Working my core has allowed me to be more stable in my heavier lifts like Squats and bentover rows. So glad I added in the core focused workMuch respect for the way you balance out your training.
You don't just focus on the outside. You also focus on your core.
Gotta stick with the tried and true lifts. I'm not here to reinvent the wheel lol do what works, nothing fancysmith machine rows and seated cable rows are perfect.
You won't go wrong with those types of lifting exercises.
Basic movements that work and have been used for decades. Nothing fancy, just what worksVery impressive work on this.
DB rows and DB pullovers are on point.
Thanks! Gotta feed the growth!nice meal you put together.
its a great post workout dinner too.
100% manThe ground beef and rice looks really good with that vegetable mix
It's a great meal to put together and take with you to work as well.
Planks are the only way to tighten up the core.I only started incorporating planks in the last month or so because a few guys recommend I add them in. So glad I did, I've noticed more stability in my core on all my heavier movements (Squats and bent rows). They're torture, but they work!

You're really pushing it broThanks man!
As for protein, I'm pretty happy keeping it at the mid 300's. That seems to be working for me. I know 400 is a cool number to aim for and all, but is it really any more beneficial. I'm not so sure.

this will work too with almonds but to high omega 6 but better than peanuts broI'll keep an eye out for the walnut butter. I have a natural mixed nut and seed butter on hand too. It's almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds.
Thanks for the info, I'll look into the omega 3:6 ratiothis will work too with almonds but to high omega 6 but better than peanuts bro

I don't think you have to push your protein, any higher. You are getting more than enough, trust me.
Thanks for the feedback guys! I was stressing over the protein for the past few days since it was mentioned a few times. Thanks from sharing your opinionsYeah, protein consumption is really overrated.
As long as it's quality protein, you need a lot less than people think.
Sounds good, I'll keep that in mind. The last thing I want is an injuryYeah, I love the straight arm pull Downs.
But be careful on those shoulders. You don't want to overdo it.
Thanks man
@OceanView Good work on the diet.....keep up the consistency.......

TRAINING:
Yesterday was a recovery day. Hopped on the bike for my 30 mins of fasted cardio in the morning. Spent the day with my family taking it easy and eating good food. Tried to keep my stress levels as low as possible. Finished the day with 30 mins of cardio on the treadmill (Incline walk). Had a great night's sleep. Feeling well rested and ready to put in another hard week of lifting.
@OceanView on recovery days please up the protein and cut the carbs a bit if you can bro not sure budget wise

Thanks boss! Really trying to keep everything dialed in to make the most of the cycleDiet is on point brother.
Make sure you cycle off of the eggs. If you eat them every day, you'll develop allergies.
Is there any science behind this? I've been looking for studies and information to support the claim, but i cant find anything anywhere. Has it happened to you guys or anyone on the forum?Yeah, I would definitely come off the eggs for 2 or 3 weeks then you can put them back in.
That will definitely help.
Thanks brotherGreat job on the fasted cardio.
30 minutes is great dedication.
Thanks brother! I appreciate youGreat job. My man, keep up the good work.
Thanks for taking the time to put up your weigh ins.
Gotta feed this growthYou are definitely getting bigger and bigger as you go.
So that's smart. That's your increase in your calories a bit.
