Just curious leafy whats the daily diet like?
I have cleaned it up quite considerably because as you can see from the pictures i'm about to post i've put on quite a bit of fat. Typically i'd hide the fat pics but i think this is something everyone needs to see. Im up to about 185-190 now. My progress has tapered and im not having the explosive strength gains i used to. I don't know whats happening really. Adonis thinks i have put on some muscle but im not sure. I have added about an inch on to my leg but i don't know if it's fat or muscle. I think my hamstrings and traps have come up a bit but that is about all. I got my knee problem fixed from the smith press squats. I found out it was because i was coming up on my toes which put all the pressure on the tendons in my knee. Now i push from my heels and i feel it alot my in my hips.
Right now i'm just eating whole grain breads, cereals, milk, oats, yogurt, raw eggwhites, buffalo meat, peanut butter and healthy nuts, cous cous, tuna, a daily poptart, and i have a pizza about once a week. On top of this i get my special work out shake
. My calories are at about 4000-4200. Before i would pretty much just worry about getting my 220 grams of protein and the rest of my calories were cheese cake and pizza. I got pretty sick of eating like that anyway.
My chest has been getting a lot tighter lately so i have backed off on the heavy benching. It feels like 2 pulleys steadily tightening the muscle every time i hit chest so i just dropped the weight about 25 pounds and try to rep more. I would like to get one of those deep tissue massages to see if that would help. I just try to stretch it a lot. I can't stand it when they feel tight. I haven't had anything else seriously slowing me down though.... yet (knock on wood). Me and my work out partner just started doing leg press again. We are up to about 1025 pounds on it for 8-12 reps. My back squat has gone from 350 for a few struggling reps to 375 for 4. The thing that worries me most is the possible damage i could be doing to my heart. When i lift its hard for me to breath and my face gets really red. My front squat has plateaued completely and the most i ever did i think was 325 for 3. I have actually had to drop the weight on that back down to 305. I think my feet are positioned wrong so it is actually harder. I'll try to work on that in the next few weeks.
Here are the pics and a few shopped side by side so you can see the difference over time. It has only been about 3 months since the show. Some of these pics are in comparison with my 1 week out shots and the others are comparisons from the last time i posted pictures.
EDIT: Sorry getbig is being stupid
