"My problem is that I think everybody needs to work as hard as I worked when I was in my prime." - Ric Flare WHOOAA!!!! Hope the weather isn't hurting you
It's interesting to see someone who is looking to add/bulk, even if just a little, since I've been aiming for a calorie deficit for so long! Honestly, I'm not surprised after seeing your comment about being on the Peloton so much lately. That will definitely allow for some "wiggle" room in a diet; nice to see some flexibility with the nutrition as it just isn't fun having to live off a pre-defined, strict, diet all the time. I'll say it again though, you seem to have it down to a science and you're setting the bar high for the rest of us (nutrition/strength), so kudos to you!
What's the dimensions of your fireplace insert and size of tv above? Looks sick! I'm currently building a house and thinking through what we want to do with the living room fireplace!
It's 42" fireplace and a 65" TV. I kind of wish i went bigger with the TV but ordered it as we were building the house and wasn't sure it was gonna fit
Hey Brandon can we get weekly updates of your training while using the juggernaut ai app? I'm thinking of picking it up and I think you're a good voice of reasoning for me to purchase it but I would like to see someone go through their full training block and their raw feelings as the training weeks continue. I want to see how the app takes care of fatigue and if it truly adapts to one person. If that's not too much to ask and if it is you can do biweekly videos or even monthly I just want to hear what you have to say thanks!
I think weekly might be tough b/c there's not much change. I will be doing one at the end of this week (max effort) and the end of next week (end of hypertrophy block).
@@BasementBrandon Sounds good if there's not much change weekly whatever works best for you! I'm assuming your opinion hasn't changed much since your last video on the app?
Old viewer here leaving a guess before watching: I can almost guarantee there will be some kind of process turkey/chicken meat sandwich for lunch Edit: So I'm basically a psychic
Duuuude. You give me hope. All that sitting and looking and lifting great! Kudos! I feel badly writing this comment right now because I know it means more time at the desk for ya. I appreciate all the replies, btw. You ALWAYS respond. Mega props. Also, you doing OHPs on top of the big 3? Shoulders looking hulky in this vid...
For shoulders right now on the AI programming I'm just doing some lateral raises and DB presses. It's nice as it allows some freedom of choice. The first 4 weeks on I had OHP in.
@@BasementBrandon No Problem. I found your channel last year while shopping for plates. Because of your bumpers review I found Fringe Sport which hooked me up with a bar & plates when they were out of stock everywhere else. That definitely earned my subscription!
Whenever I watch any TH-camr day of eating or macros videos: “so, basically NO vegetables?” But really I’m just jealous of the amount of carbs you’re eating... cheers to getting yacked.
Damn it now I need to lift like you since we are both 217 . It instantly makes us rivals lol , it goes back to a Jr. High mentality and looking around at who is in your wrestling weight group. Nice lighting and Video though 😉
Jeez, that’s a lot of food. I struggle to get 300 carbs. But I am a manlet, after all. But hey, that’s what cookies are for. I also leave some protons for night time when I mix my protein powder with some Greek yogurt.
Are you keeping your eye on your blood sugar? At 40, you are still young, but at 45-50 you may start to see your pancreas can’t keep up with your carb intake.
@@BasementBrandon I didn't include the egg whites and cheese and stuff. Just saying, looking at your meal adding all the way up to 950 cals I must be eating 3000 calories breakfasts on days I'm not counting cals 😂
Dude, your cholesterol will be through the roof. Breakfast: eggs > scrambeled tofu or "just egg" replacement Cheese > vegan cheese or Nutritional Yeast Bacon > "This" isnt bacon Sausages > any meat replacement Milk > Soy milk (most protein) Other meals: Beans, lentils, pasta, seitan, tofu, meat replacement, whole grains, chicpeas, soy/pea protein, nut butters, oats, veg and fruit. Its very easy when you know what to eat, I get 180g protein atleast with no animal products n thats with no meat substitutes or even tofu
There are other ways of life than being vegan. There are also other ways of being healthy, other than being vegan. Your comment is pretty myopic. Also, vegan protein is frank deficient in some amino acids and is just inferior to animal protein - Layne Norton has several videos addressing this and also cites several pieces of literature that support this.
@@jakeleach1997 also I didnt mention the word vegan because I knew it would trigger people, you can eat plant based and still wear leather, thus not being vegan. I only commented that animal products arent necessary, and are infact harmful, don't get your panties in a twist
@@Lb-ri5wr plant proteins are regarded as incomplete, animal proteins are not, here is a study to support this: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3905294/ And another that suggests that High quality vegan proteins are inferior compared to whey protein at increasing blood amino acids levels even when equating for leucine & EAA content as well as PDCAAs even though the subjects eating plant proteins consumed 30% more total protein! www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6950667/pdf/nutrients-11-02987.pdf

Damn. Magic Spoon is pretty proud of their cereal at $10/box! Maybe they can use some of that magic to make the price more reasonable.
Lol

Hah got out to shovel after training today so we're all good!
I like this new time stamping index. Its like a TOC for a video haha
Figured it'd be easier
39 with two kids 4,2. Stay at home dad. 275 trying to get to 220.
Get after it!

Thanks man, the peloton has thrown a wrench into the diet as of late b/c even right now on 3800 I've been dropping weight this past week :(
@@BasementBrandon Not at all surprised! Guess that means more pizza to the face then.

The pizza is only one slice if ask them not to cut it.... the more you know.
But you should look at a standing desk makes a huge difference
I have one!
Diet is what I've been struggling with lately. Training has been going great. Going to try out that cereal.
I feel like I'm in a pretty good place right now for both.

Thanks for taking a look

I think it’s a pretty safe bet the same can be true of most lunches for anyone 😂
Hahaha my first thought was chocolate milk for lunch
I always enjoy detail...
Thanks Ron
Master 1 is looking motivated 👍👌👊
Haha long way to go
I appreciate the equal rack representation in the background 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Had to be careful of the angles b/c the wife was on the peloton while filming these.

Dumbbell presses feel great
Can you do wrestling and powerlifting at the same time?
Yes although probably will end up spinning your wheels some when it comes to progressing.
Depends on how much lifting. Gary from legion iron trains Jon Jones from the ufc in lifting weights and he squat benches and deadlifts
'There's also days where I eat like a whole pizza.'
That's my type of diet!
Try to eat one 1x a week.
You might have mentioned this already but what meal tracking app are you using?
FitGenie
Thx for the info
Thanks for taking a look!

@@claycon Good find!
What is your competition weight? It’s incredible that you lift what you do at 217lbs at your height. You bring hope to tall lean people. 👍👍
Usually 105kg class
>She eats fish
>She doesn't eat any kind of meat.
Brandon we need to have a talk about what things are made out of
Most people do not consider cold blooded animals to be meat.
@@BasementBrandon isn’t a fish/egg eater a pescatarian?
@@mattbickham5635 Yep! Although she doesn't eat all types of fish or egg yolks, so mostly vegetarian is just easier to say
1:51 is that the premium version of MyFitnessPal?
Fit Genie app. It’s the best!
FitGenie but iOS only
What app are you using to track food/macros? Thanks.
FitGenie, but iOS only
@@BasementBrandon do you not like my fitness pal
@@BasementBrandon Thanks. Downloaded the free version and am giving it a whirl.
@@dominickd16 I find FitGenie to be superior for lifters.
@@BasementBrandon I guess I don’t even lift. Feels bad man
Hey can anyone tell me if I can fit sorinex spotter arms on a rogue monster collegiate half rack?
You can
Do you eat eggs almost everyday for breakfast? I'm also good 6 days a week. I always save the take out day once or twice month.
I do!
Whenever I watch any TH-camr day of eating or macros videos: “so, basically NO vegetables?” But really I’m just jealous of the amount of carbs you’re eating... cheers to getting yacked.
lol
Damn it now I need to lift like you since we are both 217 . It instantly makes us rivals lol , it goes back to a Jr. High mentality and looking around at who is in your wrestling weight group. Nice lighting and Video though 😉
Hah I hear ya!
At what time of the day do you workout morning afternoon or after you work?
Lunchtime!
Any reason why you went with fitgenie vs myfitnesspal or others?
I prefer how they split up macros for users for people who lift. For MFP I always had to go backin and adjust.
God I wish I was tall. Manlet macros checking in for a desk job and I don’t look as good as you either haha
Before kids my maintenance was a lot lower lol
@@BasementBrandon gotcha, off to the park to chase someone’s kids around in order to get shredded 😂
What do you use to calculate and figure your maintenance caloric intake?
Time. Any of these apps will give you an idea, but then I like to put it to the test over a few weeks and see how accurate it is.
I’d like to try your cereal but my kids wont eat the ones that the school is giving them so I’m stuck eating that for now haha
Hahaha free cereal is good cereal.
Just curious on your height? Thanks for the awesome videos
6'3"
Waiting for the dirty bulk series
Past that point in my life TBH, too old for it lol
WHOOAA!
Got it in earlier for you this one.
@@BasementBrandon thank you at 6:10!
When can I consider myself a powerlifter?
When reps over FIVE become cardio
anytime
When you are appropriately using hip draaaahhhhhvvvveeee.
Dude someone broke into my buddy's truck and stole his gym bag w all his lifting straps etc last night.. Felt so bad for him hate that
Son of a gun
Jeez, that’s a lot of food. I struggle to get 300 carbs. But I am a manlet, after all. But hey, that’s what cookies are for. I also leave some protons for night time when I mix my protein powder with some Greek yogurt.
gains!
That is a lot of carbs! Wonder how your inflammation scores are? I would guess you are getting more than 1/2 your calories from sugar basically.
It's not that many.
@@BasementBrandon my guess you are getting over 1/2 your calories from basically sugar.
@@brucemackenzie4952 no
"I'm married.... For the most part" lol what
“I’m married. For the most part I sit at a desk.”
@@BasementBrandon haha yeah I knew that. Just when I first heard it that's what I immediately thought.
How tall are you?
6'3" or 6'4"
40 bucks for 800g of cerials is just too much bro
Dude that's insane. My Meijer brand cereal will have to do.
Yep. Wouldn’t suggest it as a staple. Nice but not necessary.
@@BasementBrandon True, but the idea is great though.
Good Lord, 3,800 calories is maintenance?! I wish I had that metabolism!
The two lil kids help lol
@@BasementBrandon I've got 4...and my maintenance is probably around 2,700...
Tried the Magic Spoon (Cocoa, Cinnamon, Frosted, Peanut Butter). Pretty good, but Jesus, it stuck to my teeth like taffy.
Yeah have to make sure you're not doing 3 servings at a time or else you really notice it lol
@@BasementBrandon I was doing 2⅓ 😁
No built bar plug? Lol
Prob next video TBH it's my last one of them :(
For the algo Gods
hallelujah!
Hi
Hey now
No built bars?!?!
Running out of them lol. Plus I don't want to push cereal and protein bars in the same video.
hi
Hello
@@BasementBrandon hello
Should I assume that the cereal is probably whey based?
you sir are correct.
Algorithm
same
Are you saying if I eat the same macros I’ll have nice gluteus gains like you 👀😉
I have the equivalent of a soccer mom's pancake butt. Why do you think I program squats so much.
@@BasementBrandon 💀💀💀😂
9:47 "Basically after I put my eldest son down" I almost spit out my food.
sleeeep
I wanna see food tho not no numbas
Food is just numbas :)
strong macros, 490 carbs are legit
End up just overdoing it in protein or fats lol
That cereal is 40.00 bucks for just 4 boxes 😳😳😳😳😳😳
Yeah it's not cheap and not something I'd keep in my diet every week, but you figure about a month's supply for $40.
I wish I could eat 3800 kcal and not get fat... XD Great video like always!!
My maintenance has gone up quite a bit since I had kids lol
Are you keeping your eye on your blood sugar? At 40, you are still young, but at 45-50 you may start to see your pancreas can’t keep up with your carb intake.
Yes, yearly blood work and everything looks good.
I think the kids call that “maingaining” nowadays!
lol
Jesus saves. Love you guys
You mean like a spotter?
@@BasementBrandon that’d be dope having Him spot in the gym😂
3800 calories? I struggle to eat 3000. For a fat kid I really don't eat much.
lol
Did you just try to tell me that a bowl of cereal and 2 eggs is a big meal?
Nope, you must not be paying attention.
@@BasementBrandon hahahahah
@@BasementBrandon I didn't include the egg whites and cheese and stuff. Just saying, looking at your meal adding all the way up to 950 cals I must be eating 3000 calories breakfasts on days I'm not counting cals 😂
