Im def on the clean eating wagon, this is my 3rd week and once i go past that 21 day mark, im usually on automatic. Haven't touched chocolate etc. Have cut out fast food. I eat clean, nutrition meals. I hate it though. I have to forcefeed myself chicken breast (yuk) every rest day even tho ive fasted say 18hrs, i dont find it appetising. I dont have a healthy relationship with food .. im either eating everythang (bad) or nothing but clean .. moderation seems like something alien. But i agree with with poliquin, you have to earn the right to eat carbs. Theres a scientific basis for it, (p-ratio insulin sensitivity etc) behind it. Im looking forward to getting close to 80.0 and just recomping with moderate carbs and protein. High protein sucks .. cant handle it long term, it kills my love for food, i guess that's the point tho lol
Things that kill performance are lowcarbs, fasting, basketball. Im willing to do away with the first 2 once ive got under a consistent 81kg.
From there basketball, i think i will switch to a 10 day cycle. Either play Tue or Thurs, but not both in the same week. That way im still maintaining some reg gameplay but not in a disruptive way to training. In fact im struggling to come up with any reason to even play competitive full court bball given my goals, the returns just aren't there and im solely playing to be a team player etc, but other ppl are happy citing injuries that might not even exist and missing games so i dont see why i am being so commited tbh. And tue night games are kind of shitty cos now im achoring the D and im still an 80kg guy playing against big strong white guys who grew up on a diet of steak and AFL and im just risking injury trying to compete on an unequal playing field. Plus ive mentuioned this before but the game here is very physical, which i dont give a fuck about right now cos id rather stay healthy than risk a rolled ankle or something..
^^^ this!
I am thinking the exact same thing. Looking to play ball every 2 weeks. Especially when you're expected to do all the dirty work under the rim.
Also, when you talk fasting are you talking about daily fasting (16-20 hours) or longer fasts (24+)? I usually fast for 16 hours daily but am trying to get my head around eating breakfast again.
Yeah, i was only going to play Tues but my mate convinced me to do Thurs cos he was looking to get back into playing and i thought i'd help him out. Lmao, he's never goiing to play a single game .. always makes excuses, so flaky. Im gna try to get out of Thurs, it's ok to play once a while, for social reasons but thats about the only thing. I also know that as summer ramps up it gets pretty hard to get games cos demand goes down and supply goes up .. so i dont wanna burn bridges. Last year going into the tournament i had almost no game time experience, so it's important to keep up relations that i can get reg games closer to the easter tournament.
I fast on rest days(4x) about 18-20hrs? usually have my first meal after 1600-1700. Active days(3x) i will fast less, eating around 1200-1300. Fasting sucks so much. I def think if i commit to 10 weeks of clean eating, i cud even eat breakfast and still get my goals of being a leanish strong 80kg. So fasting is overkill, as is lowcarbing etc. Lowcarb sucks so much for performance, it's a double killer in that you cant sleep so recovery goes down, and performance goes down because you feel sluggish etc. But i also know that for someone with my body (ie overfat), carbs are not good. When im leaner i'll handle carbs like a champ and i can just beast in the weightroom or court while eating carbs for fuel and recovery. If i do that now tho, it's just gna gonna end up making me fat ..

Damn. I was thinking you could probably hit 3 plates for a rep if you got the 122.5x7. 122.5x4 probably puts you around 135kg atm (better or worse depending how good you are at 1RM).
One of my favourite in game dunking videos.
How much fun do you reckon these guys had playing together. It's almost it was like their own personal game of NBA Jam.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DLJ-IoyL8w" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DLJ-IoyL8w</a>
excellent mix.. damn!
ya man I miss them both in Miami, was so sick.. Still enjoying watching Lebron on CLE and will probably enjoy WADE on CHI .... though Wade to CHI should have never happened, heat fail++.
man wade loved those no-look lobs.. chemistry.
24/10/16 - 7pm
bw - 92.2
Squats-
bar x 10, 60 x 5, 90 x 3, 110 x 1
122.5 x 7 (b), 110 x 7, 6 (b)(miscounted again!!!- starting to think it's intentional sabotage)
Hip Thrusts-
Did not do. hips/lower back mildly hating me at this point.
Incline Bench-
bar x 10, 40 x 10, 10, 10
KB Row
16 x 10, 10, 10
Pallof Press-
Red band x 10, 10 (each side)
Squats felt really good. Props to Maxent and the other guys who are pushing his squat unbelted and guys like KF, Dreyth and Chris who have monster squats unbelted. I see 140 & 150 coming to me before Christmas at this rate which would be nice. Not sure if I care about belted vs unbelted enough for it to make a difference to me at this point.
Have been doing the shoulder rehab and did some benching tonight. Felt the shoulder but there was no pain. Just need to take this really slowly. It does shit me though as what little chest muscle I had is pretty much gone.
BW still to come down. After the weekend of eating and drinking I was pretty good today. Want it back under 91 before the start of November.
solid session! seems like a great post all around, especially considering the previous one (binge eating/drinking).
I definitely prefer unbelted, if dynamic sport improvement (athletics) is also a goal.
That squat set you posted on IG looked good, fast.
Stay focused and you'll get that 140-150 !!!
pc!
Ben Cousins has really spiralled down the wrong path since retirement. The only time you ever hear about him now is when he's getting arrested, which seems to be a yearly occurrence. The crystal pistol is frying his brain.
I would be surprised if he's still alive in 5 years time. Just cannot kick the habit. So sad.
Yeah he loves the shit. I remember watching his documentary that he made (it's available to watch on youtube) and his eyes lit up whenever he thought about ice. He looks a lot older now compared to just 5 years ago. He hasn't worked at all since he stopped playing AFL. I know he made literally millions in his day but his drug use has burnt a lot of bridges with regard to his post-football career and endorsements etc.
major PR's!!
