well, there isn't much ginger in there,,,it's knob creek so I try not to ruin it too much.I'm cutting it b/c I'm not sure I should be drinking on an antibiotic but what the hell. rationalization is a beautiful thing.

Great workout today. Chest day and able to add 2 more reps on my highest bench press weight and able to get a new high weight on the incline bench press. I'm nowhere close, but I feel like the Hulk!

Make sure you remember to do fat burning routines too so the muscles can be more prominent faster!

Definitely. Did some ab work and about 2 miles on the treadmill as well, but they're boring to talk about

Has anyone tried Crickers Crackers? They are made from cricket flour, a healthy snack.

RKCNDY

Cricket flour? Like real ground up crickets?

Natashapearljamfan

Yes...the crickets are roasted then ground into flour to make these Crackers.
Crickets are high in protein and meant to be healthy, they have a crunchy nutty taste. I saw a show today called Food Futures, and I saw them on there.

Sprunkn7

I'm all in for eating high protein but I am not eating crickets

Not nearly enough G.You will loose muscle and energy.At your estimated weight,you should be aiming for between 1700-2000 calories.With moderate/active activity level.

If you want to see your max increase quickly,use the smith machine (self spotting)for benching. It will allow you to load a bit more weight then your used to pressing.Do this ,increasing your max load for a couple weeks and then go back to standard bench and see what happens.You will be pleasantly surprised.

Yay!!! Down 5 pounds! 15 to go but I have the momentum now

Thanks for the tip. I've used the Smith machine before, but mainly for squats and drag curls to help me keep better form. Will have to try it for presses too.

I know it, I had plenty of protein and fiber, so I wasn't hungry or low energy. I had 2 Apple's 2 oranges, a dark chocolate bar, a tuna packet and 2 chicken fajitas. I am not a calorie counter, but I have to get back down around 200 so I can step up my work out intensity. Carrying this prodigious belly for hillhiking jogging, and squats is not going so well for my lower back.
