I don't really keep track of the cost, but that meal I just made prolly breakdowns like this:

Chicken - $5-$6

Shrimp - $7 ($14, but BOGO)

Grapes - $2-$3

Veggies - $2 maybe

$17 for 3 Meals, but really, I only purchased the Shrimp cuz it was on sale, so Im really looking at $10 for 3 Meals.

Plus, Ill pack 1-2 Greek Yogurts, plus stuff to make a PBnJ.

Shrimp is so damn expensive I swear...

 

[808HiLife808]

Gotdamn @ those prices...I wish...

 

[BIGG WILL]

You can always get less expensive cuts of chicken tho. Boneless skinless chicken cost a lot more normal cuts. Normally from $2.99 (good sale) up to $4.59 per pound. I jut prefer Skinless cuz its cuts out a lot of the cals from fat and the boneless chicken is a lot easier/quicker to trim, clean, and cook.

 

[808HiLife808]

lol those prices are cheap.. boneless skinless chicken breasts are $8-$9 over here..

 

[BIGG WILL]

those prices are for thighs.

my take on a portion control, light summer Salmon Californian salad with cold-brewed iced black tea with honey, as a sweetener. it's freaking hot in Los Angeles.

@wall, I started my off season program.

My first week of workout will mainly consist of gauging where i am physically and will primarily feature the sandbag. I will do the same exercises for 4 days (2 on, rest, 2on)

Yesterday, i did this (below). Its called the 3 Ton Workout. I obviously did more than that b/c i used a slightly heavier weight, but you get the idea.
http://ultimatesandbagtraining.com/blogs/news/15345813-3-ton-workout

7 Staggered Shoulder Squats Right

7 Clean and Press

7 Staggered Shoulder Squats left

6 Staggered Shoulder Squats Right

6 Clean and Press

6 Staggered Shoulder Squats Left

all the way down to 3 repetitions of these movements.

To add a wrinkle, i threw in a set of KB (35lb) swings with the same concept, 7, 6, etc...

To start out, I wanted to do something challenging but a weight i knew i could finish the reps with proper form, so i did 45lbs in the sandbag and by the second cycle, i was hurting, but not risking injury hurting. As bad as I wanted to just quit, I pushed through and completed everything.

Today, I'ma drop down to just 30lb with the sandbag and do that for the rest of the week.

I finished the entire workout in about 29 min with taking breaks as I needed. I tried not to rest for too long. So now i have a baseline to work with that will help determine my level of conditioning as I improve my strength. I dont have an ideal time I would like to finish, but possibly shave off 9 min or so.

I know some cats that probably think the sandbag aint no workout, but i strongly disagree. As an added challenge, I put pea gravel in the bags instead of sand. But anyway, I'll keep ya'll posted

Oh ok...cool

I ended up going to Target and getting two bags of chicken breasts for about $7 a piece. Got a couple pounds of sweet potatoes, and a couple bags of lettuce. This will be my post workout meal along with a Boost Protein shake.

But still...$17 for 3 meals aint bad at all imo, especially if you add up what it might cost you a week eating fast food.

I got work to do...

 

[Mastery]

First workout this morning: 500 swings... 50 chin ups.

Nigga!!! My conditioning ain't shit!!! Lmao! This shit 'bout to have my conditioning tight as fuck though by the time I get through! I was so got damn tired after that set of 50 swings (so tired I had to break that shit up for the last 300 swings).

By the time week 5 comes around, I should be flying through this shit. I played around a lot with the rest times to see how I felt.

1 workout down, 19 to go.

My shoulders didn't deserve what I just did to them, left the gym feeling like a beast.

 

[ShottaDaBeast]
