well i didn't do anything on this paper. time to pull the all nighter express.
 
Hey man, this is kind of random. I remember you saying you eat a lot of chicken tits. I also think I remember you saying you go to the grocery store to get them. I just joined Costco and fucking love it.

Since I (and you I presume) am eating the same thing for most days of the week buying in bulk saves me a lot of money and allows me to get stuff like frozen fruit that I can't get from the grocery.

I'd recommend Costco or BJ's club if you can find either of them near you. Worst case, you probably have a Sam's Club near you, and they are the same way. I just hate them because they wouldn't let me walk in and check prices without a membership.

Membership at Costco was $50 for a year, but I probably saved that in a month. Plus, I have more choices.

Also, in case you didn't see it (or for any S&Pers that don't go to the D&S):
$25 off of $75 of Muscle Milk or ON Whey @ Amazon.

Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately, I share a fridge w/ 2 other people who do not share my dieting habits (i.e, the freezer is full of Hot Pockets and frozen veggies) so I have a limited space available. I usually buy 3 or 4 packages of 3 pack chicken breasts that are about to expire (they get eaten within a couple days) and some fresh ones to freeze. My chicken budget per week is about $35-50 at 3-4 breasts a day.
 
I pay about $20 for 12 breasts. They are packaged in plastic 2 breasts/vacuum bag, so it's nice. Might be worth checking one of them out. But yea, with all my veggies and the rest, my fridge/freezer are pretty full when I get home with food.
 
I've had those. The Solo Servings from Tyson or Perdue? They are okay, but a bit small for my needs. I prefer the monster chicken pecs that are as big as mine in the packages.
 
I got 3 tubs of muscle milk from that deal. I havent had it in years. I used to buy some 5 years ago but it was HORRIBLE taste wise ....apparently they figured out a way to make it taste good...by adding shitload of sugar I only assume...but fine by me.....I have trouble getting sufficient protein in my daily intake...50-100g doesnt cut it imo....

How's the chicken quality of the one that's near expiration? If it's pretty good then that's a great thing to keep in mind for myself when I move out and want to keep a budget. I spend way too much money on fish/chicken so that's a great tip to me.

*gong for Finny*
 
Well, obviously check the expiration date. Its usually within a couple of days, so eat those first. I've not noticed any lack of taste or discoloration. You can usually get them for about 30-50% off. They'll be labeled as "Manager's Special" or something similar.
MM doesn't have too much sugar. It has some per serving, but I believe its under 10 grams (for two scoops).

I don't have any on hand myself.

I'm taking in 250-350 protein a day, depending on whether its a lifting day or not.
 
I mostly buy big chicken quantity from costco so not sure how that compares. But it's definitely good to know.

who's Sammy in your sig?
 
i buy my chicken from a local butcher. not sure how it stacks up price wise but i would say it's healtheir, but then again this is america so they prolly get the chicken from the same place. But I do notice a difference in texture between butcher bought chicken and store packaged chicken. Store packaged chicken has a texture of something we're like more accustomed to like the kind at restaurants and stuff.

10 minutes, no rest.

20 rope turns (sprint in place)
20 sledge swings vs tire (10 lbs hammer)
5 sandbag shoulders (150 lbs sandbag)

My teeth hurt. That is a good sign of a properly challenging conditioning circuit for me. Not sure how many times I made it through the circuit. Probably 8 or so.

Intro to Kneebar from being side mounted and from half gaurd
Heel Hook in opponents gaurd. Drilled a lot

Drop back for Achilles lock,switch to heel hook, switch to toe hold. Did this 30+ times.

Review of Guillotine choke with elbow on the back of the traps/ 10 finger Guillotine variants introduced.

Rolling:
2 five minute rounds.
I did well here. Sprawl was decent, sweeps were good. Spent most of the time in a dominant position. Fought off a lot of sub attempts.
Ended round two with a heel hook. Resisted the urge to shout "Technique of the Day!" or "Armenia, you are Free!".

Impressions:
Finally starting to get armbars from mount down a bit better. Its really difficult for me for some reason.
Leg locks, I think, would serve me well to learn. I've drilled them before in sub grappling, so this was a nice refresher. The kneebar escape from back mount, especially, I really liked.
