Outside of holidays with the family, the Arnold is the only time I attempt to have pictures taken of myself!
I was making a joke. Did intend to laugh at what you were doing. I was more poking fun of people who prep for Arnold like they prep for a show who just walk around the expo with a gallon of water.
Well...90% of them deserve it on some level. I live 100 miles from Columbus, and know guys who will hit the gym at 4AM to get a pump so that they can look their best....standing in lines for free supps and selfies. I also have a work buddy who goes to the Arnold every year just to hit up the expo for a day, but hasn’t lifted in years. He’s a good dude, and convinced me to go for the first time - and introduced me to the cage and animal products - but he’s one to talk about lifting all day, but never actually do it.
Hell, I found myself about to bring a boiled chicken breast with brown rice and broccoli for lunch last year when I was doing the intern thing at the cage - but one look at me, and it’s easy to tell I don’t live on that. Thus, the aforementioned meal of leftover fried chicken and biscuits, lol.
If you blend it VERY thick with ice cubes it almost tastes like the Mc Donald´s vanilla milk shake.
I´m sure my dieting brain had something to do with that but hey... :D
haha I just think you're exactly right! I tell people it tastes like vanilla ice cream or even a cupcake.
Damn, cereal is a big thing, eh? I do the same. I have Torrent intra, then some type of generic brand chocolate rice cereal post, then an hour after that its usually chicken/rice/broccoli/evoo. I think I workout just b/c I get to have cereal after.
LOL in my past prep I almost trained on my rest day just to have my post meal haha but I didn't because it's not about the food or how you feel... it's about the results.

A couple years ago.. I didn't plan to go to the Arnold that year.. and after taking tons of pre and training legs late that night.. I decided at 2:30am I would take off and drive 5.5 hours to the expo! haha I was 4 weeks out from competition and took ALL my meals with me and stuck to everything (including cardio). Dumb idea.. but well worth it! lol Arnold Expo is a blast!!

Yes, my friend. Looking forward to meet you again and this time get to know you a little better. At the Olympia, when you were competing, I didn´t want to bother you too much. I know how it is...
