- What's up, Muscle and Strength?
This is Arash Rahbar.
I'm gonna take you guys through a full day
of what my eating looks like.
All right guys, so welcome to my home.
This is where all the magic happens, where I eat my meals,
where I've been prepping for the last few years.
It's kind of like the barn,
the cottage that Rocky trained in, in "Rocky IV."
I do hang from the rafters sometimes
and do some pull-ups and some leg raises.
But I'll show you guys around a little bit.
Got some of my trophies here next to some liquor.
Don't worry guys, I'm not drinking that on my own.
It's for guests.
But this was from my first Classic Physique Olympia
where I placed second place.
And there's a bunch of other trophies
from some other shows that I did.
And this was 2019 Legion Sports that I won.
Over here I have a spin bike
that I actually took from Bev's.
I love doing my cardio on a spin bike.
It allows me to increase intensity
and I just don't like walking on a treadmill too much.
So this thing's a lifesaver.
It's probably the only fitness equipment
I've ever owned in my home, believe it or not.
Never been a type of guy to have a in-home gym.
And over here is one of my biggest passions,
before bodybuilding I was really big into racing.
And this was my track bike.
I haven't ridden it, it hasn't even been started in years.
But I just can't bring myself to get rid of it.
I built this thing myself.
It's a Honda RC51, but it's completely
just gutted and rebuilt, customized from ground up.
So I love this thing.
And maybe I'll start it back up and get it on track.
But it's really hard to do track days
when you're always prepping.
So like the motorcycle season overlaps with prepping season.
So unfortunately it's kind of taken a back seat.
So this is my crib
and hope you guys enjoy the rest of the day.
(upbeat music)
All right guys, so this is meal one.
I have six ounces of bison, some carrots, broccoli.
And I got my berries here, blue and black,
with some pink salt over it.
And it's about 8:00.
Usually get this meal in about 7:30, 8:00.
So I think everyone should have
a Daily Greens on a daily basis.
Most guys don't eat as much vegetables as I do
and I still have it.
So, especially for those of you that are lacking vegetables,
I would definitely supplement with the Daily Greens.
Ideally I have the collagen in a bone broth,
but I ran out of it.
So I'll heat up bone broth,
and I'll put the collagen in there,
and I'll have that on an empty stomach.
It's great for the stomach lining
and healing any stomach issues you have.
And I have some glutamine here.
(upbeat music)
All right guys, so this is meal two of the day,
and it's my pre-workout meal.
We have 90 grams of oats and six ounces of chicken breast,
with Stevia, pink salt, and cinnamon.
And yes, I'm eating it directly out of the pot.
Just out of convenience I always just
ate it out of this and it stays warm.

Driving to my buddy's gym, Siege Athletic.
It's like literally, what is it,
a mile, two miles from my house, really close.
I train here a couple of days a week when I'm not at Bev's.
It's an awesome gym.
Gonna go hit some chest.
My training lately has just been based on how I feel
and what doesn't hurt, so.
(dynamic music)
All right guys, so we got meal number three
for the day here, it's my post-workout meal.
Nothing special, real basic.
I got 200 grams of white rice,
which is about 56 grams of carbs,
six ounces of chicken breast, and some green beans.
Usually I'll do either green beans or broccoli,
sometimes some carrots.
And sometimes I'll saute it, get a little bit crispy,
trick myself into thinking I'm eating hibachi.
But right now I just heated it up in the microwave.
I have my pink salt, and I'll usually eat it plain,
but I wanted to show you guys
this veggie ketchup that I got.
I'm a huge ketchup fan, but there's some unwanted sugar
in ketchup, so I was eating no sugar added ketchup.
But there's some sucralose in there,
and it's not the healthiest thing.
So I found this stuff at Whole Food.
It's basically made with vegetables, apple puree,
vegetable puree, carrots, butternut squash,
and it's pretty good.
So give this a try.
(upbeat music)
So this is meal number four for the day.
It's 200 grams of white rice,
six ounces of chicken breast,
a little bit of spinach and green beans.
This is my last carb meal for the day.
So the next two meals are just protein and fats.
I actually added a little bit of lettuce to this
because I'm really hungry, so.
(crickets chirping)
So a lot of people ask what I looked like
before I started bodybuilding,
how I progressed over the years.
So I have pictures here from almost every year.
Before I really got into bodybuilding,
this is how it all started, martial arts.
So I was a pretty serious practitioner
of martial arts for about 16 years.
So this picture I think was maybe about 14 years old,
give or take, and I'd been working out a bit,
but hadn't put on much muscle yet.
So you guys can really get an idea
for my structure and genetics.
They weren't anything too crazy.
This is senior year in high school,
here I packed on a good amount of muscle.
I think I gained maybe 30 pounds.
Really this is over like three years
of training, playing football, bodybuilding.
Here's my popular side tricep pose,
looking a little bit weak.
This was after high school, probably my early 20s.
Dieted down.
And then there came a point in time
where I said, you know what?
I wanna get a lot bigger.
And I had an off season, and put on a lot of size.
So why am I saying this and showing you guys this
is because so many young guys DM me,
asking me if I think they have what it takes.
If I think that they can be a top Olympian.
If you asked a lot of bodybuilders if this kid
could be a top Olympian, be on the Olympian stage,
maybe they'd be nice and say, yeah.
But I think most would think, probably not.
Or I'm not sure, the guy doesn't look like anything special.
But I didn't ask anybody.
And I wasn't worried about that.
I just knew that I loved this shit.
And I'm gonna put everything I have into it,
and I'm gonna train my ass off.
And that's what I did.
(funky music)
All right guys, so this is meal number five.
Six ounces of chicken with a beautiful,
healthy, festive salad, and a quarter cup
of almonds on the side, and two extra ones for good luck.
For the salad dressing, Dijon mustard from Whole Food.
This is about eight ounce container.
This whole entire mustard is in here.
Two to three tablespoons of balsamic vinegar's
added in there, the rest is filled up with water
to the consistency you want.
And a couple of sprinkles of the Stevia.
(funky music)
All right guys, so last meal of the day for me.
Meal number six is my favorite meal of the day.
It's protein pancake with some nut butter.
It's approximately 9:30 PM.
I'll eat this and get to bed very soon.
And I'll top that off with some sugar-free maple syrup.
Or you can use more protein powder,
make a slurry with it with almond milk.
And that is meal number six for me.
All right guys, and that concludes my full day of eating.
I really hope you guys enjoyed it.
And thank you so much for watching.
