Chrikey, wish I had a calf machine...Don't fancy deadlifting 110kg, then do calf raises at the top

Nice one, need to get myself some digi scales really.

Had my squasages and eggs this morning, so feeling okay currently, getting peckish though...All I seem to have are chocolate biscuits around me though! :eek:

How can you eat that on a morning

I'm guessing thats the cooked weight of pasta? 240g dry weight would be a **** ton

LiE · 12 Dec 2011 at 11:10

Yes cooked, about 100g uncooked weight. I don't see the time of day as a limiting factor for what I eat

bulking like a boss.

I was mighty scorned by my friends recently for having a smoked fillet of fish for breakfast

LiE · 12 Dec 2011 at 11:16

Fish for breakfast is doing it like a boss.

If my friends saw my pink porridge they would likely scorn me too!

Skillmister · 12 Dec 2011 at 11:19

Dunno i just cant stomach stuff like that in the morning, except pizza. Pizza always goes down good

Boscher · 12 Dec 2011 at 11:20

I have muscle imbalance in my lower back. The left side seems to have way more mass than the right. It's funny, because I have always tried to train each side equally. I do have one slightly leg longer than the other, so given I deadlift, that might be a factor. It is visibly noticeable. When I do DB Rows or the like though, they are still relatively equal strength wise and I am right handed.

Anyway, my question is, should I train the less developed side more frequently now to induce growth, and the more developed less so, to attempt to restore balance?

LiE · 12 Dec 2011 at 11:22

Well if you makes you feel better it's not the first meal, I have the pink porridge first.

Wtf weighed in this morning at 184.6lbs :confused:

Yes today I am posting up my full diet.

LiE · 12 Dec 2011 at 13:14

Skillmister · 12 Dec 2011 at 13:16

Yeah i always feel so bad after oats + a shake.

MoNkeE · 12 Dec 2011 at 13:16

What's your target kcals LiE? Seems like a massive amount

LiE · 12 Dec 2011 at 13:27

3500 cals.

MoNkeE · 12 Dec 2011 at 13:30

T'is a hefty amount. I'd be shocked if I required 3,000 calories to bulk. Do you do much cardio?

LiE · 12 Dec 2011 at 13:31

I do no cardio, haven't done in the past 7 years
