Don’t mind the beer. That’s just for guests.

I drank a half gallon of whole milk yesterday.

I very much love the lifestyle and it's a lot easier now that I don't have a chronic disease. It's great to have a hobby which keeps me away from people who drink a lot (siblings kek).

Nice Deadlifting link. Those are my favorite powerlifts. But as I still have a small scar on the abdomen I'm focused more on rebuilding the core before getting into heavy freeweights. I don't want to herniate.

Patriam u really can calm down about the fast food thing, dude. I've probably eaten 5 fast food meals in the past decade. If you had to cook for yourself for 8 years while also working full time you may understand that it's nice to have a little treat finally! HOPE U FIND GREATER AWARENESS AND COMPASSION [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You can basically eat utter garbage all day like once every two weeks i think it is? And then your body doesn't even react to it. I don't do cheat days that often yet because I'm still trying to lose the last 20-30 more stubborn water/fat pounds on me....and I don't want to risk overdoing it. Cheat days help you enjoy life though.

Basically its all a time game. It's all about getting where you want as long as you want. Indulging helps the long run game.

Keep in mind for cheat days though: Getting drunk is pretty bad for you. Not like 1-3 beer buzz thing, I mean DRUNK. It messes up your hormone balance and if your not in your early 20s your going have a fucked up next day. I don't know all the details on this -- but I think genetics is part of it too. Alcoholics sometimes have genetics that metabolize the alcohol much better than others. These are the guys that drink all night and never pass out and are still thin.

There are also a small number of people immune to nicotine addiction apparently.

So there are some weird things out there.

This used to be me, had great times going on benders until 6AM.

Now, after drinking 3 or more pints I will be violently sick about 12 hours after I finish drinking. Pretty worrying really. Gives great incentive to not spend too much on nights out, though!

Don't worry about the protein, bros. I have a lot of whey powders and frozen chicken meat and turkey paste and fish back at home

(plz notice the 5 types of cream - butter - ice cream - heavy cream - milk cream - sour cream)

You should get milk without fish oil in it IMO.

If you're after protein and calories:

OGRE BURGER

2x12oz topped with pulled beef and Mozzarella.

See you there pal :P.

[skarlorn]

i find it hard to eat that much red meat all in one sitting.

the very thought of that burger makes me nauseous.

I'm petitioning to have your halfling privileges revoked.

Eating, is a fundamental part of packing on muscle. You're in the right range for protein, over doing protein aka 100g+ a day is a total waste.

One warning i'll share is to only pack on as much muscle as you want to maintain. If you weight lift for a year or two then stop it sort of turns to fat.

OH and you said you're on the lean side already. You won't pack on gains at the same rate as someone who's already got a little heft to them.

And the final thing I'll part with in this post is be aware of plateauing. Confuse the shit out of your muscles and they will swell.

ps. do pushups, sit ups and pull ups every day. These don't necessarily require rest days.
I also do a ton of cardio in the summer. cycling and walking.
