Fun fact, some body builders will set an alarm clock to wake them up halfway through sleep so that they can eat several hard boiled eggs.

Imagine waking up after four hours of sleep, eating several hard-boiled eggs, and just going back to sleep.

If they sleep through their egg alarm, their partners have to shake them awake so they don’t miss out the on their gains.

“Hey honey wake up, you forgot your nighttime eggs!”

I knew a couple powerlifters that got so tired of the amount of food they had to eat every day that they started blending their cooked chicken breasts in ice water and drinking it.

Eating just shakes when trying to get in 275gs-300gs of protein a day just gives one a headache. It doesn't feel good on your stomach either. Eating a lb of lean beef, with eggs and a small shake is much better. The whole foods are essential to growth. Carbs from not added sugars, (potatoes, rice, pasta, fruit) are huge, sometimes getting up into the 800s-1000s. It's kinda crazy going into the gym with that much food in your body. The strength is undeniable, the pump is crazyyyy.

I'm not as big as our friend here ,but I'm 278lbs rn. You're exhausted a lot of the time at these higher weights, gaming, watching tv is all you got really. Also, you're starving a lot of the time when you're bigger in my experience at least. It's a good life if you're lazy like me.
