    It's still all normal chicken and meat etc. The main difference I've noticed is there is hardly any * on it, of that makes sense. The chicken * are massive and have hardly any of those wee white bits on them. Also with all of it, when you grill them there is next to no grease/fat comes out of them. The steaks/burgers/sausages all appear to be very 'lean'

    I read this on other websites before ordering them & was surprised at how small they were. They were smaller then you get anywhere else. Asda, Tesco etc

    That's really strange. I get this every month and they are always large and definitely bigger than supermarkets :39:

    Would have thought they'd be decent mate. It's the mrs that orders it so not 100% on which bundle/pack it is we get. That's a bit *.

    Looking to get into working out this fall. I plan on taking a semester off to work and get in great shape, possibly for wild land firefighting next summer. I'm not completely oblivious to working out as I did it in high school quite a bit, but I'm definitely a rookie.

    Basically I just want to ask what a good routine would be and a decent diet plan to follow with it. I'm 5'9, 135 pounds soaking wet so I need to gain some decent weight.

    I wouldn't say I'm out of shape right now, but I definitely need to bulk up and put on some muscle. Any suggestions?

    Use on online calculator to determine your BMR and TDEE such as this one https://www.iifym.com/tdee-calculator/

    To put on weight/muscle eat at a calorie surplus of around 300/400 calories above your maintenance intake

    Pick any weightlifting routine online really, 3 day split/4 day split, do squats/deadlifts/bench/pull ups etc lift heavy

    Stay consistent with diet and training reassess a few months down the line rinse and repeat.

    Edit: a wealth of info over on the bodybuilding.com forums regarding routines/diet etc

    I recommend this personally , add any isolations ( arms , lat raises etc ) at the end if you feel like it.

    Start light and you will learn technique as well as progressively stronger.

    Sad thing is, until I lost the weight, that's pretty much what I looked like.
