Here we go. This freakin RAW feeding for my dogs got my brain to spinning. We feed these dogs the same damn thing every day. It's all healthy and designed for their design. It took no time at all for my dogs to get to looking great and feeling much better and acting great. So it got me to thinking. Why not create a "RAW Dog Food Diet" for myself. Now I've been a competitive lifter (powerlifting) for many years. Currently on a 3 year skid of not really training at all. When it comes to developing strength in myself and other athletes, I'm pretty good, even if I do say so myself. However, this is not an indication of my knowledge concerning nutrition. Oh well, I don't really care. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to eat the same exact meal, 4 to 5 times a day, every single day for 4 weeks. I will also apply my own strength training knowledge to myself and get my ass back in the weight room. I just got through grilling 22 chicken breast, I've got steam asparagas and squash and I fixed up what is said to be 36 servings of brown rice.

I've done just like we do our dogs. I've cut up all the chicken.

Here's my meal:
1 handfull of Chicken
1/3 cup brown rice
4-6 Tbl Spoons of Asparagas and Squash
I mix this all in a bowl and will simply microwave when ready or just eat the shit cold. Makes no difference to me.

I will drink Milk and Water for this experiment.

I plan to take pictures tonight and am not afraid to post them here so we can all see the befo and afta!

Tonight, I am having nachos and beer as my "last meal" before launching off into this thing.

Below are the supplements I will take as well:
1 Generic Brand Multi Vitamin
1 Fish Oil capsule with each meal
4 niacin tablets 2x a day - for cholesterol - mines high
1 vitamin C twice daily
Milk Thistle 3x daily for liver health
1 Animal Pack vitamins on training days
1 Pre Workout Shake on training days
1 Post Workout Shake on training days
2 Protein shakes per day on training days - 1 on non training days.

This morning I weighed 248.4 lbs. I would guess I am in the 20% body fat range. I've had this checked several times and can guess within 1%, so I'll guess 20 for now and may actually have it checked at the end of this deal.

I will compete in a Push/Pull meet in July (last week) so this could continue on until then. We'll have to see how it goes. Last meet I did (2006) my personal bests were 804 squat, 568 bench and a 722 deadlift. That was in the 275lb class with my actual weigh in at 264. If things go well with this diet, I could lift in the 220lb class and I would like to hit a 550+ BP and a 700 pull. No squat, as it adds to much to the training and pushes the body weight up naturally.

If I can overcome the monotony with the diet, this just may be the ticket. Not that anyone cares, but I'll keep you all posted here. I think this might get interesting.

Stay tuned!
