FIsh isnt an improvement on the appetite front. IM just tryna get to a decent place bodycomp wise and then cut down on meat to once or twice a week. But for now im eating plenty of protein from a variety of sources (dairy, eggs and chicken breast).
Oh! So i figured out why i had a bad time in the gym today. Squats were out and looking at the video of my jumps and kb swings -- i realise it's cos my abs were fkd from last workouts chinups reintroduction. This manifests as bent back on swings and jumps and of course weird squats. Haha. Shud be good for a repeat next workout
Man gaining weight is HARD when you're eating clean. lol.
Aren't you like 6'3? I wish I was on a bulk. Just eat lots of steak, sushi, and meditteranean and south american food, it's so tasty and better than western tasty foods. Such as kabobs, spanish rice, fish/chicken tacos, etc
Yep. I wish i was bulking. Not lean enough to do that tho. Best case scenario for now is rate of muscle gain is equal to rate of fat loss. I hate meat so i have to forcefeed myself chicken breast every night for dinner
Feel more sore today than yesterday, esp hams. But i am gonna do a light lower body session and try for a bench one. lets see how it goes. BS 2x120, 2x6x90 OHP 6x2x60 Chinup 3x6xBW DB Row 8x25, 8x30, 8x35 Treadmill walk 30 mins
Surprisingly not all that sore today. Wicked. Thank you creatine/increased dietary fat/test levels for that. I also had a fair bit of bread last night too so a shoutout to carbs as well. This is what it must feel like to be a young male again. lol. Looking forward to training tmr im sticking to the EOD training schedule, hoping to finally get in a quality upper body session in since 7 days ago when I did that volume ohp session.
I don't think you should stress about this fast. In the case of obesity any significant weight loss will result in improvement for health markers across the board. Just focus on that and you'll be a lot healthier.
I dont get hwy my bodyweight went from 85kgish to 83kgsh since i started eating more fat esp when i was thinking of going from 85kg->87.5kg steadily lol. It's okay tho, will be patient and get there eventually and then 90kg. Creatine may alredy be working .. i felt so good in the gym today, just felt i could keep going all night. Nice. SO far so good. My mood is better too. I think test levels are improving slightly already since i cut off handwash and started eating more fat.
Going to squat it out today! Something crazy, watch this space. BS 10x5x110(PR!!) RDL 8x120, 8x160H(PR), 8x150H Back Xtn 2x12x50(PR), 10x50
Notes: I was thinking of going for 6x5x110 and then i did 6 and thought i can do one more, and eventually i thought i can do a 10th set and there we are. My new mod 100 program is born. Yay. Next time it will be 112.5kg mod 100 sets of 5, ie 12x5x112.5 then 15x5x115 and so on up to 20x5x120kg.
Skipped upper body b/c i didn't think id be able to do a quality session today.
Nutrition: Ate 5 eggs and some chicken breast cooked in olive oil. So i shud be good for optimal testosterone nutrition ha.
My concern isn't that cholesterol raising fat is bad as much as it's which other fat other than saturated fat (and fish oil) is beneficial which one could add to a daily diet. Btw this purified refined MCT rich coconut oil seems super interesting. Coges have you tried to source it in aus?
Rest I thought to try eating chicken thigh over breast but i didnt even enjoy it, way too fatty :/ will go back to breast. also found this sweet hazelnut chocolate spread that's 97% less sugar. It tastes pretty good, not sure if it has a place in my daily but i enjoyed that immensely.
Wicked! Will incorporate the arm swing ive seen in your vid. I think you are doing them off a higher box so you actually start and complete much of the arm swing process while in the air! which is really interesting. I think my box is around 12" so I cant really get too much into the arm swing process but i should be able to get aleast the raising of the arms infront of me done in the air? Or try to get more than that? What do you think?
Re: Box height, there are other boxes (higher ones) but i thought to master the technique with the lowest one before trying higher ones. But now you've got me wondering whether i'd be better off using one I can do a proper armswing while in the drop phase.
ALso watching your SVJ vid im realising i dont use any arm swing in my SVJs. Imagine if i can PR my SVJ today by working on that. Will take vids. edit. postworkout: I think i finally got a 'good enough' depth jump and wow, even tho box is ONLY 11" (i measured today), it felt really intense. I guess this is why people say depth jumps are intense. i thought they were too easy (even with 30" jumps i did in the past..) and people were vastly overselling the shock to the body angle. Interesting. So it's fun to do jumping workouts. I did some depth jumps, then i tried jumping for a max touch RVJ and i sucked. Then i went back, did some kettlebell swings working up to the heaviest bell they have (28kg), after that i tried some more jumps and was back to touching the vent territory. FINALLY got touches with my new LR plant .. they're really faint touches though but still progress! i cant help thing i can get more out of the LR plant, as of now, it still feels submaxy, even the arm swing doesn't look as smooth or aggressive enough. not sure why, i know it's a different movement altogether in how my hips and stuff go thru the jump but ya hoping something clicks, prob need to try a few different things. Today i thought i could be more straight on with the target rather than approaching from side-on. I think with RL plant side-on makes sense but with LR i have to modify to straight on etc.
Also i prob did my first windmill dunk .. hypothetically, if it counts without a hoop cos i was jut messing around with a medicine ball at the gym trying to get the movement down. Also the hoop wud prob need to be around 100" high cos i finish the movement on the ground. haha. just gotta figure out a way to jump higher while doing it and also bring my arm around quicker
2 weeks since injury. Thinking to try heavy today BS 3x120(PR since injury lol), 1x130(PR since injury), 5x117.5(PR since ..) BP 2x85(WHAT THE FUCK), 1x95(slowest rep ive done ever) Lots of jumps Hill sprints x 3 (PR; reintro) Notes: Going heavy for the first time since getting hurt went okay. I did a triple with 120kg, possibly could have done more reps on that first set but decided that was pretty good for now. Then did a heavy single of 130kg, again could have repped it but decided that was good enough for today. Finally decided to be conservative and go for a heavy 5rep set at 117.5kg, went okay too.
Ive decided to introduce creatine. I went back and forth but i think it's better if im on it while im trying to do a lot of things simulantanously (get leaner, get heavier, get stronger, get fitter, get more athletic). I will cycle off it eventually but for now it will benefit me more given how much im trying to fit in recovery wise. Tbh the thought of weighing 87.5kg in the morning and 90kg in the gym while having my fat 6-pack and jumping PR territory sounds kinda nice right now.
