Uh I don't think so...I know you told me to add them in on some of my meals so I try if I have time to eat. lol! I'm always going to work or school so I eat so quick. haha

**HawaiianPride.** · 10-05-2009, 11:45 PM

Oh word. Gotta eat them greens bro. Broccolli, spinach, green beans, celery, all important stuff.

Determined 08 · 10-05-2009, 11:48 PM

Yeah I really do try its so hard when I'm always rushing to go to school or work. Most of the time I eat my chicken then put my rice and veggies in a bowl and eat it on the way to school or work

**HawaiianPride.** · 10-05-2009, 11:51 PM

That's cool at least your trying.

As far as diet here's a rough outline. Obviously its not the same everyday I switch the foods up alot but try and keep this as my outline

Meal 1: 10egg whites 2 whole eggs
2 packets oatmeal and 1 banana

Meal 2: 12 oz chicken
2cups brown rice

Meal 3: 10oz lean 93/7 lean ground beef
4oz linguinie with 1 cup of spaghetti sauce

Meal 4: 12 oz chicken
2 cups brown rice or 2 medium sized sweet potatoes

Meal 5: 2 cans tuna with miracle whip
2 cups brown rice and some veggies

Meal 6: 12 oz chicken
2 cups of brown rice

Meal 7: 2 cups cottage cheese
a half cup of nuts

My post workout shake is: 50g whey isolate, 70ish grams dextrose, 5g creatine

You'll notice I eat ALOT of brown rice and ALOT of chicken. People say variety is key but I say if it works keep doing it. For me chicken and brown rice have always worked and I won't stop eating it til it stops working. I'll also usually throw it a piece or 2 of whole wheat bread for some meals to get some more calories and carbs. Sometime I get 6 meals sometimes 7 just depends. I eat alot and still its kinda hard to gain. My metabolism is ridiculous. I can't wait til it stops so I don't gotta eat so much. lol

Wow - damn nice diet, dude. That is a CLEAN bulk! I'd guess about 4500 cals? I've got to get a diet going - i'm just winging it now - mostly eating leftovers and supplementing with chicken breasts. I think the way you are approaching is is the way to go.

Yeah man it is really clean. Lol. It is around 4200-5000 a day depending. On Sundays I go around 3800 to kinda take a break shoot it back up another 1000 calories or so on Monday to jump start again. It is really hard to get a consistent diet going man I def understand how you feel. We have lives we aren't doing this for a living unfortunately. Haha

**mperk** · 10-06-2009, 06:50 PM

Hey dudes;
here I am after 2 weeks. I am making some progress - better living thru chemistry;-) Up 7 lbs - with a lot of extra cardio. (did have a chocolate cookie binge one night and I ate a CC cookie (giant one) today. Might be a lot of water with the juice.

**projecthatch92** · 10-06-2009, 09:06 PM

Yeah - it's a little weird to gain so much so quickly - I was stable at 205 for about 6 weeks. must be a good bit of water. If you're lucky I will model all my best underwear over the next 3 months - LOL Including the ones with the smily face on the crotch....

huuuge · 10-16-2009, 01:57 PM

Yup, although I've been on holiday this week so I may have a Lil extra beer weight lol still worked out everday though! And knackered my knee whilst messing about on a zip line. Sucks. Can't train legs for a couple weeks now.

I'm gonna hit some ghrp6 and cjc again to try help with recovery and I'm gonna try get some gh as well.

huuuge · 10-19-2009, 04:30 AM

Good Morning boys and girls...!!! Monday morning is upon us again!!!

203.8!!!

It's going well, 2.5 weeks into the test e and i'm packing on the lbs! Although my diet hasn't been all that lately but I dont think i'm gaining any extra fat. My muscles are deffo looking fuller and my strength has gone up loads since I started training again. Good ol' muscle memory!

Proper diet is starting as from today. Need to knock off a couple % bodyfat - cause I can easily hit 220 with 40% fat lol.

Good luck peeps, hope you're all gaining

**projecthatch92** · 10-19-2009, 11:22 AM

good to hear. I'll have mine posted up today too

Hahahahaha - Okay Huuuge - i thought that was my special talent!

Here's the toe scale pic - no other visuals. 214lbs I started at 204 so that's a big 10 lbs in 1 month! i could have taken a pic of me trying on tight pants this am....(have an interview today) - yeaow - those pants from 2000 have shrunk again!

Here's last Sat's workout - it was a good one. i'm not totally thrilled with this cycle - lots of sides - but it's worth trying anyway.(test p + tren A) Strength has def increased a lot but no visible muscle gains, IMO.
