Steak Training Day 1.

training day 1... If you haven't already seen, me and a couple friends are going to attempt to eat the Lone Star 72 Oz. Steak (4.5 LBs). We are just average guys, so we referred to google for some training tips. The number 1 tip we came across was to eat cabbage in large quantities in the days leading up to the 72 oz. steak day in order to "stretch your stomach" CRAZY!. So, we went to our local Loblaws and bought 2 heads of cabbage (each weighing about 4.5 lbs each ~ same as the steak). They are the preferred food item to train with because you will eat a lot, and it isn't loaded with unhealthy fats and it is cheap ($1.69/head of cabbage). To cook it we chopped it up, boiled it in water, then stir fried it with some olive oil and pepper.
After cooking up one head of cabbage, we decided that we would share the 4.5 lbs head of cabbage between the 2 of us for the first day. This is wayyyy tougher than it looks. I was able to get through 2 lbs of the cabbage myself, but my buddy was only able to get through 1 lb (you can see him struggling in the picture). Suprisingly though, we had a huge craving for some fast food after, because of how nasty the cabbage tasted after eating so much of it. We then headed to Mcdonald's where my friend got a Double Big Mac Meal and an extra Large fries (w/ tartar sauce on the side). I headed over to wendy's to grab the Stack Attack Value meal w/ baked potato side and an extra Jr. Deluxe Cheesburger. We destroyed these meals within seconds... We will see if this helps us reach the next level and possibly finish the steaks.
