Good looking food. So steely since you are just huge and there isnt a thread on your diet and training this should be it…What does your training split/exercises look like? Food porn looking good…What do you do for macros on training/off days? What do you shoot for total calories? How long you been at this?

Just a couple questions but i think everyone can learn from someone who is making former Mr Underivers/america look tiny[/quote]

Thanks man. I’ve been keeping a log for 4 years now (4 years in May) in “Over35” where the old farts live.

You can see where I started as a total fatass (even moreso than now lol) that hadn’t trained in some years (after playing hockey and rowing crew in college) to losing 70 lbs then starting to train for size and strength (where the logs start). I lurked the forums for a couple years but joined after I had a back injury.

Diet has changed in the sense that sometimes it was strict and sometimes I just ate and ate. The early logs I recorded everything just for the sake of the log, then just started eating by feel or gluttony.

Training started as more “push/pull” type training, although I’ve kind of come to dislike the term. It was more just pressing, back, and legs. I quickly just morphed into typical bodypart splits.

Also, I really didn’t start benching consistently until just a few years ago. All that’s in the logs too.

I feel inadequate giving advice other than lift heavy, consistent, eat to grow, and most of all listen to your body. I still feel like a beginner lifter.

I will be reading that. Thanks

Couple questions because that is a ton of logs. When did you make the most progress in your training and what did your training and diet look like at that time? Same question about physique related gains…was it during the that same time period? Have you noticed better gains with certain diets?

Great motivation to see this fantastic progress.
