Bro, this is the best post Andy has ever posted. It has the most content and looks like he put the most thought into it. First off, I really dont think he will be able to eat all that food. Not at his size. And yeah, he needs to stick with something. I've been doing fundamentally the same things for many years now. Only minor changes have been made. I've been eating about the same type of foods as well. Again, only minor changes.

Truthfully, I'd rather see him stick to this routine (even with its flaws) than to try another routine within the next 6 months.
