rice and egg bowl is one of my favourite post workout meals at the moment, thought I'd share
good amount of rice, don't usually measure it out I just stick in however much seems enough but it's usually 100+g of carb macros
3-4 eggs scrambled
black pepper/other rice seasoning
optional meat
cook the rice, few minutes before its done stick 3-4 eggs in a frying pan and scramble them. add rice to eggs, stir, optionally add meat/seasonings, put in bowl, eat
quick, cheap, easy and tastes great. 3 eggs will give you 20g protein, rice will take care of the carbs and if you're like me you'll probably stick some meat in and get another 10-20g protein

you cant have a meal without meat
I knew this small clip would come in handy!
Embrace the calouses. Let that pain fuel you. Wear wrist wraps when you are about to leave humanity behind with a +300lb deadlift.

Thought I'd get it off my chest here: carbs aren't bad
carbs are just your body's fuel/energy
your body needs energy for day to day life, whatever that may entail
if you're going to work out you need a lot of carbs beforehand to have enough energy for the workout. after your workout your body needs even more carbs to regain that lost energy and to help the muscle repair process
you have good carbs and bad carbs, i.e a banana or a sugary drink respectively. they're both carb sources, but one is substantially less fattening and healthier and the other is loaded with more calories and artificial sugar, hencewhy it's preferable you eat - for example - oats and bananas before working out rather than a chocolate energy bar and lucozade
you don't need to cut out carbs to lose fat or be healthy, you just need to eat the right ones, if you look on the back of food packaging(at least in the UK) you'll see a label along the lines of: carbohydrates(of which sugars). carbs from doughnuts and full fat coke are still carbs just the shit ones you need to avoid, pasta bread potatoes and all that shit is a ok
on a side note how are all you fellas doing with your gains or cuts so far, much progress?

At least your form was good. I remember running at 25km/h for two minutes during a caffeine high. It felt like I was floatingTried pushing my squat 1RM the other day, genuinely saw stars and felt my vision blackening at the sides after reaching the top, felt like i was about to die
Also update: after years of fitness, I finally got creatine. I've sure as shit been missing out. I'm killing these work outs now

>check this thread before back/biceps day
>see this post
>feel motivated, lets tear some fucking skin
>get to last rep last set of 80% 1RM deadlift
>tear a callus almost half a cm deep on both hands
>blood everywhere
>cannot wash hands or fully extend fingers for a week without agony
on the plus side this callus is underneath my middle finger on both hands which never got affected before and the calluses underneath my middle and ring finger still get scraped but never tear now. two more fingers to go before callus immunity arrives
