I don't care for it.

I'm still amazed at the ridiculously low skinfolds of yours.

Some people don't like to eat and/or know when they are truly hungry vs "just wanting to eat." No excess food equals no excess body fat.

[ljk]

True. But I bet he is also still totally shredded and not just slim. Still hate him. :p

True!
But quality of food is even more important. When I was 60kg (eating less but eating "all") I had bigger skin folds then now at 72kg or last year at 75kg.

Can you post a sample day of your eating? I know you eat a lot of meat? What kind of fat though?

[Mahler]

Just got a chance to read through your training. You are better in a deconditioned state than most of us are who have kept up our workouts. Fantastic.

exactly!!!

Today
9h - Turkish coffee
12h - bahur, pork, salad
16h - pork, salad
22h - pork, pork liver, salad w/ olive oil, wine (100ml), ouzo 20ml

Usually I eat 15-25 eggs and 200-350g butter weekly.
Can't tell total calories, I don't count.

[ljk]

What is bahur?
Do you focus on pre- and post-workout meals specifically?
Probably not, right?

I love eggs!!

[Milko Georgiev]

Standard stamina: Squat @ 93kg (I got the volume!)

ljk, bahur is liver sausage.

[ljk]

Interesting!
I googled it with no result -- I did try to find out first


Congrats on the volume. Power of the bahur!

I eat a lot of meat and protein like this too -- but I find I am ALWAYS cooking and also spending a ton on groceries -- it's expensive for sure.

I can't believe this is "deconditioned". You are a rare fit gem.

2x3 minutes intensive wrestling (ughh!)
Standard stamina: Deadlift @ 140kg (got the volume! ... legs died...)

[Milko Georgiev]

Workout in stupid gym without squat rack, crossover with max 50kg ... I need 80 and more ... so:
Standard stamina: Deadlift @ 140kg (8 sets ... was a little ill last 2 days; disks with smaller diameter)
L-pull-ups 3x5 @ 5kg on ankles
Dragon flag 2x5, sideway 2x5
Air-born lunges 3x5 @ 15kg
Side bends 2x5 @ 40kg
Big opened eyes around ;-)

[Milko Georgiev]

20 min thermal pool.
Half (6) Stamina: Cable push-pull @ 98kg (Technogym makes the worst expensive machines; their crossover rubbed my forearms)
Air born lunges 3x5 @ 20kg
L-pull-ups 3x5
Side bends 2x5 @ 35kg
People in gyms train very stupid. It's good for the business ;-)

[Milko Georgiev]

[Milko Georgiev]

Standard Stamina: Side press @ 34kg (34 min)

[Milko Georgiev]

Half (6 sets) stamina: Lunge @ 90kg (little step up in volume; pain in left knee - old trauma - outside is 5°F, inside 55°F :-))

[Cynic]

Milko, tell me again, what it is you do with your yogurt to increase the carb and culture content. I can't remember exactly, but it was something that sounded potentially dangerous, like leaving it out to spoil or something like that.

[Milko Georgiev]

Cynic, let the yogurt sit at room temperature until it starts to get sour (usually 3-4 days). The more it ferments the less carbs there are. The bacteria eats the carbs. You need natural yogurt with alive bacteria.

[Milko Georgiev]

10 minutes after last stamina ... 35 minuter wrestling (w/o throws)
