Lol .. we got an icecream recovery support group going ... nice. My fav is cookies and cream by streets, they had it at $4.95 for 2L at the major supermarketchains in AU for a while. I cant find it any my local coles anymore and since i dont shop at whoolies, ive gone without it for a year or so. I cud sit down and eat the whole thing in one sitting. I think my record is 2 in one night. I ate 4L of icecream in a night.. no wonder im fat. I dont bring tubs home anymore .. i know how that ends. So instead i bring home 4 packs of magnum, usually almond which is my fav by far. The calories are pretty high tho cos they have more fat but at least the damage is capped. I have been icecream free for 1 day so far. If i can get that to 10 days, i'll prob have some body comp changes to report. Have more room to improve from there too ..

One think i really miss from the states is the amazing frozen yoghurt places ...we dont get those here. I'd kill for some nice toasted cocounut but the aussie flavours are just meh .. they dont do it for me at all

BW: 78.5kg (yikes)

i need to stop eating the icecreams ... but im not ready mentally to go all in on protein, just yet. I dread eating a whole chicken a day .. nothing is quite as intimidating to think about doing that day in day out .. lol. i can promise to stop eating sweets tho?

it can be pretty cold! ive lived in melbourne and perth both and spend time in canberra for work. Most of the time perth is nice but when it's cold, it's pretty cold. The soil is desert and at nights it cools down pretty quick. I used to train in the evening/pm and that's nicer in summer and really harsh in winter. Perth still has an identity crisis about it's winters .. heating is uncommon and ppl dont really do double glazing, etc. I think it needs it though cos those cold nights and mornings are just as harsh as any other place where those things are common

BW: 78.1kg / 172.2lb (LPR)

so i think that's the lowest ive weighed since summer or something. if i can't train normally yet i can still diet normally i guess, time to finish the job and get to 77kg?

Well that was a nighmare .. fuck me. but comeback begins again. i lost a lot of weight, havent trained at all, spend sat-tue in bed and finally feel ok enough to train

i put up more shots yesterday and the last 4 weeks combined than i have in like 10 years before that excluding the month. crazy. but hopefully once my muscles get stronger and adapted i'll be a more reliable shooter. right now once fatigue sets in my form goes to naught and behaves erratically. more strength and mass in the right places (upper body mainly) will help a ton. i shud be aiming to curl 60kg for reps in the weight room this quarter. go for that kobe bicep size .. like 16-17" wud be real nice. anyway pipe dream (ha) aside, i do need more endurance than size. i can shoot with decent form from the free throw line to the rim on the other side of the court, teh guys were remarking how effortlessly i can shoot from distance with just upper body .. so endurance will be more useful to me than size tbh but both are good

Just kidding though.

But here is a serious question that I would like some serious answers. How does bodyfat distribution affect athletic performance. Suppose A is the typical male distribution pattern (bodyfat mainly around around the torso) vs female bodyfat distribution (mainly around hips, thighs and butt), how does this affect running and jumping?

here is what it looks like for the rest of the week...

fri: off
sat: lift (if not balling sunday)
sun: ball (if didnt lift sat)
mon: rest (prob but i may ball if i didnt ball sunday)

need to peak, need to lose this extra deadweight ive gained this week from eating junk everyday .. i wasnt logging but life stuff blah blah

want to get my squat at 130kg for reps then peak athleticism, then repeat, something like that
