Whey is cheap as hell. Certainly cheaper than cottage cheese.

I guess satiety is a decent answer. I love shakes for that exact reason though. FAR too hard to get in 5k cals with whole foods.

How is bulking on IF?

I have a love-hate relationship with it.

I love the results I've seen. I've never had a bulk where I've gained so much LBM and so little fat(relatively speaking). I love training fasted because I feel more energetic. Eating 5 meals a day doesn't work for my schedule, so IF makes thing more convenient.

I sometimes HATE having to cram in 5k cals in my feeding window. Sometimes my window is shortened to as little as 4 hours due to work constraints...those days suck. Most days it's fine, but maybe once a week I really struggle to get the cals in.

I'm considering recomping once I finish this cut using IF. I woudn't be at 5k cals though, -probably more around 3k on workout days and 2k on non-workout days. Gotta see how much LBM i lose first.

1 week down though and doing fine.

The folks over on bb.com LOVE doing the IF recomp via leangains protocol. I haven't personally tried it, but some of the before-after pics are pretty impressive.

I'd much prefer just to do a big bulk, get fat as hell over winter, and then do a 3 month cut in the spring...but that's just me.

Hahaha that might work if i were aiming to get much bigger, but my ToJ and MTM shirts are already pretty tight

I have about a dozen Epaulet shirts and 10 pairs of pants just gathering dust in my closet right now because they're too tight.

B&S that shit yo.

I'd hit you up but epaulet's sleeves are too long for me

My wrists are smaller than that and my shoulders are the same width....at 6'2. But its good to know you arent a huge mesomorph like most guys who seem to be succesful at this.

Time to train fasted for the first time! Wish me luck broz!

dont bust a trap

Bench is improving. Pausing is feeling easier. What do you do with your head when you bench? I kind of bend my neck forward and look at my chest, but most people just look up.

Accidentaly a whole 2 scoops of purple wraath. Tingly all over.

Reminds me of another "supplement"

Who here can do a scapular wall slide? Butt, lower back touching or BARELY off, upper back touching.

Here's a good example, but try to keep forearms as close to the wall as possible.

Apparently, if you can't do this, you are at a risk of hurting yourself when going overhead.
