The Donuts & Massive Volume Of PT Weekend :

Though I’ve alluded to this tale before, it came up in conversation today, so thus I write it :

At the time (2015) I was going to this small church, they’d have donuts and coffee after mass, and often sent my roommate and I home with the leftover donuts.

For some reason they had a massive amount of donuts that weekend, they’d offered them, and we accepted…about 10 dozen donuts.

From Saturday evening until Monday night or maybe Tuesday morning I and my roommate ate almost naught but donuts.

We’d split it 50/50 initially but near the end he looked at me and went “dude I’m sick of donuts you can have the rest.

In a little over 2 days I ate ~6.5 dozen donuts, a few cans of tuna, and drank a decent amount of milk and cream soda.

Mad scientist like I tried an experiment.

I did 1000+ pushups daily, swam a bunch, and did a bunch of other calisthenics and isometrics (maybe some jump rope too) for the 2 days of eating massive junk.

I distinctly remember eating 8 donuts 4x one day and immediately going and hitting volume pushups after each and every feeding.

That weekend saw an impressive short term change in build.

Ones upper body isn’t supposed to beef up that quickly.

I simply gave my body a massive energy supply of easily digested stuff, and burnt through it via super high volume.

Taking in a some protein while timing sugar very well in relation to physicality.

I wouldn’t suggest eating like that without the requisite high activity.

It’s just another memory of throwing gym rules and reason to the wayside and having good shit happen because of it.

Stay tuned for a related idea of dietary wackiness.
