Hey man, would avocados be a healthy source of fat? I don’t wanna depend on anything like rice which is hard to cook and hard to prepare.
EDIT: Nvm, avocados are good. And I can blend them and pour them into ice cube trays for freezing! How Cool is that??
Curious, do you think I would suggest something that wouldn’t be of benefit? (yes, i see your edit)
Your laziness astounds me. On one end, you have set a goal and are not taking the basic necessary steps to accomplish this. On the other, you have instantly disregarded an excellent carb source because of it’s appearance of difficulty to prepare, without investigating alternative options than a rice cooker.
Open your googler and type in “uncle ben rice”. It is 3 minutes in a microwave. I used to eat this while working retail. All I needed was a plastic utensil.
Ask your self this question: Do I want to have a respectable body more than I want to do ____?
‘_____’ is whatever you are doing rather than preparing food.
Yeah, I have trust issues.

No. I ate rice for years until I switched to different options, eventually settling on what I am doing now. Rice takes longer to prepare than what I eat now and aside from the gym I have work. I’m also approaching women in the evenings, I’m also studying IT Tech so I can improve my career options, and I also have to sleep.
Lazy indeed.
I don’t have a microwave.
Thanks for the suggestions. I bought avocados this morning.
Weighed myself today: 163.4 lbs (roughly 2 lbs increase from last week)
Went to the gym.
Forgot my phone so didn’t do all exercises cause I have poor memory.
Core Day:
Ab Roller: 10-10 (both out of form and lower/mid back/spine pain)
Reverse Crunch: 20-20-20
(gonna aim for 5 sets from now on. I’ll also keep increasing the # of reps in each set so that I hit failure before the 5 sets are done)
Fat-Man Chin-Ups:10-7-5(fail)
Bicep Curls:20 lbs10-7(assisted)-6(assisted)
This actually does sound pretty lazy. You aren’t doing any cooking at all in this equation.
I think you will find that most successful folks manage to work and train and have a social life and pursue other interests AND still have time to cook. Part of that too is being smart enough with your finances to figure out how to save up for a microwave or slow cooker.

I don’t get it. The last time you posted Leg Day was 13 days ago where you logged 20lbs 10 and 15lbs 10-8. Now today you busted out 145 lbs for 3 sets of ten? What’s up with that? Or did I miss something? I am afraid you may be your own worse enemy. These numbers are very eractic and make no sense to me.
Yes you did miss something but lol. I can imagine your surprise.
Basically I was doing “Third World Squats” (where you go all the way to the ground with your butt) now I’m doing parallel squats on the advice of either dchris or T3hPwnisher (can’t remember who). Anyhow, they suggested I go to parallel, and it’s easier and I can lift more.
Hope that clears things up.
Jeez LittleChicken, don’t you read my every post? 
I suggested that he do traditional back squats. As third world squats are not a great main movement.

Lol. Yeah, you guys are killing my self-esteem!
Ah so it was you. I thought so but couldn’t find the post toi confirm.

Anyhow, what a change those were. Hard to describe but struggling on third world’s vs. struggling on the back squats was very different sensation.
More words, please. Howso?
Well, on the third world squats, when I got to the last few and started to struggle, it felt like a lack of energy, whereas the parallel squats, when I got to the last few, it felt like my muscles couldn’t physically do it. It’s like I had enough energy but my muscles weren’t strong enough.
Does that make more sense?

Are you skipping workouts or logging them?
What you see here is what I’ve done. I don’t go on the weekends, and yesterday the gym was closed. I know, I gotta be more serious about this. I’m trying man. Least I’m improving my weights/exercises.
