No, and if ya need to down the shake to avoid a long run without food than do. Just try your best to keep the solid meals in place....shakes only when needed.
Great!
Thanks Boss,
Respect,

Dan, how do you feel about downing aminos throughout the day with regards to protein count/calorie count? The reason I ask is because at my church we once had a lock-in and the kids were all supposed to be on a juice fast to raise money for the homeless. Anyway, every 1-2 hours I would down an 8oz glass of bcaa stack/eaa stack combo to hold me over. Just wondering if maybe in Shukins situation if it would be beneficial.....
(I may not be in the contest, but I want to learn what I can)

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

Drinking on amino's all day is beneficial....he's bulking so it would keep him or any other in a anabolic state where as a cutter would benefit keeping that steady flow of amino's in your system since being on a reduced calorie diet...either way it's a win/win. I honestly wouldn't bother counting calories from it, just as long it didn't have added sweeteners or carbs. Now if doing a show than perhaps the last week I'd have to look at how it was affecting their physique.
Yeah....I know....I'm a geek when it comes to this stuff. LOL
You've been at it longer than I have so anything I can learn from you I will... that is until you start charging tuition lol

Trust me the vids I have planned shows how a bodybuilder, wakes, does cardio, gets the kids up and going, than as they head off to school, start prepping for the day, cooking, shopping, food prep, lifting, technique, and all the family life I have to balance with this lifestyle.....just to show those that think they can't do, that they can.
scholarship, woo hoo. seriously though i appreciate the sharing of knowledge. btw you never called the other day...

I am feeling great about everything, especially getting to know my team, Smootheballer gets my vote for the one who checks in the most...he is always one step ahead of me.
As for Captain Dan........, what can I say, he'll be calling me Forest soon I am sure, probably a thorn in his side..lol... He is very serious about helping us help ourselves, it is clear.
Respect,
Shukin

Danny is always available to answer any questions that I have, plus is constantly giving feedback and advice as I am progressing through each workout and meal. I am focused and putting in the work through the guidance of Danny to kick this contest's ass. Let's go Team Yellow!!!

SO week 2 is fixing to be in the books...Everyone is doing great, just some minor tweaks and we begin Week 3. I have a new routine for most of you but depending on how results are coming we may keep the same workouts going another week. Not sure, I have to go through my emails first and see. Working on the videos and excited to get a couple done and posted for you guys. Being your captain and seeing you guys push it has motivated me even more. I am getting ready for 2 big shows this year and every time I'm hitting it in the gym I think of you guys and tell myself I really have to dig deep and push myself harder than I have before....I can't ask of you what I'm not willing to ask of myself. So if this year goes well and I finally take it and qualify to go to Nationals....you guys are part of it. So let me thank you guys for motivating me.
I think this is what you meant... Damn typos...They'll get ya every time ^
Nice one
