Max, I want a first edition, hard cover and signed by you!! Man I can’t wait! I’ll be buying more to give out as gifts to those who are dedicated and committed.

We are our own worst critic, you are right. It never is good enough when you are serious about lifting, eating, health, etc. I point out my weak points and my wife is like, "But you're still hot why are you so hard on yourself." In reality she is the only one I need to please with how I look, but this goal started before i met her and it will continue on until I leave this world.

I always felt I had bad genetics but perhaps it's not completely and just in certain areas. I've been kicking around the idea that if I can get my arms and shoulders balanced out with the rest of my body and get lean I could try a mens physique show. It seems those guys are usually tall with long limbs but good proportions, maybe I'd fit into that niche, idk.

So I always post my macro breakdown and calories but never my actual food choices and amounts. Today I will make a few posta throughout the day so you guys get and idea of my average diet.

Breakfast: 7am
.5c kefir

2 farm fresh brown eggs, 2 tbsp raw cacao powder, 2 tbsp Pbfit powder, .5c skim milk, 2 tbsp coconut coffee creamer, healthy dose of cinnamon and nutmeg and pink sea salt, 1tbsp stevia sweetener, this fills my shaker cup half way and the rest is filled with half caf coffee. This is standard every morning. Normally on weekdays when I lift first thing after waking up this shake comes after a few hours of being awake and after my workout. My shake before the workout is 2 or 3 tbsp raw cacao, 1 scoop protein isolate, 1c skim milk, sea salt, and coffee. I like this first thing when waking up it tastes amazing and after sleeping it raises my blood sugar enough that while I workout I dont feel like shit. I also like to think the carbs and protein together illicit a insulin spike and helps force the amino acids from the protein through the bloodstream into the muscle as I workout. Today my workout will be later in the morning so this fatty shake with whole eggs and pbfit doesnt spike insulin as much.

Idk how many of you follow enhanced athlete but I do, tony huge is an educated man and seems his heart is in the right place when he delivers info. He stated that raw cacao is the best source for the compounds that act as natural myostatin inhibitors so that's another reason I use it each morning. Gotta take advantage of every little edge we can.

Whole raw eggs provide a ton of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. The same for raw cheese which we buy an affordable raw parmesan cheese from the store. These 2 foods alone have enough nutrients that when I eat them even with my big appetite it is able to suppress it and keep me from feeling hungry for hours. If you guys dont have these things in your diet I encourage you to try adding them if you want and see the difference you feel, it is noticeable.

I know these ate getting long winded and I'm sorry but im on a roll so dont stop me haha. I know many guys are afraid to add in too many fats, understandably. I am not though you will see I do have days were my fats are high, my only condition is on those days I eat less carbs and do my best to separate large portions of fatty meals and high carbs meals. I think this offsets the insulin response and you dont go shuttling fats into the bloodstream at a fast pace.

Max

Everyday

10am preworkout shake
1c skim milk, 1scoop protein isolate, sea salt, half caf coffee, 1tsp stevia sweetener, 2 tbsp raw cacao. Few hits off the bubbler to catch a buzz so I can zone everything out while I lift and concentrate solely on contracting and stretching each muscle.
