What if there as an adult version of a two week training camp vacation...  Probably not a huge market...


this is actually an incredible idea.

Yeah. Agreed. If you refined the recipe down into a solution which worked well 90% of the time in a brief period of time, it would be a hit. People would flock from all around the world. Lot's of ppl with (athletic) dreams but no way to achieve them.

Day 8 is done and dusted. I had the usual shake at 3pm. Then chicken, rice, shake for dinner. I shud get to my 10 day goal weight of <79kg. And on thursday ima add eggs/toast to meal 1, which will be nice. Leaning out like you thought i wud ... call the crib, the same number same hood, its all good.

I might be training someone to dunk which is exciting .. ive never done that before. woooho.

1818
haha fair callout. I was going to upload a video but it looks like i disconnected my HDD when i plugged in my new SSD cos i didnt have enough power ports (at the time) to keep both powered. I guess i'll just have to take one when i get the 200kg PR though :)

1819
Ok i dont know if i ever got up to 200kg. The closest i could find looking back in my log was this entry

Quote
RDL 8x150(warmup PR), 4x192.5(PR), 10x180(PR)

on april 18th and i weighed under 180lb at the time.

so yeah it was something i was working towards but didn't get there before i had to stop training the rdl regularly. i did set myself the goal to get to 200kg though and i still think i wanna do that. i dont deadlift, not a good lift for me, risk of injury is almost 100% and im not revisiting it again, learnt that the hard way. i do think im skilled at pulling .. long arms, strong hands and leverages favouring the lift don't hurt.

straps are great, cheap and easy to use. being preoccupied with hook grip is just dumb ego unless you're trying to compete in PL and even then training with straps makes sense a lot of the time.

im not sure. i think last time when i did RDLs i just used DOH alll the way up to 140kg worksets then i switched to hook grip and kept going up to 200kg ish. My grip kept pace. but now that im rebuilding, i prob shud have started with DOH worksets up to 150kg and then switched over? i didnt though, i just use DOH for 110kg warmups then i go to hook for the 150kg warmup. I'll figure it out, it's not too much of a hassle cos im still making my hamstrings a bit sore anyway.

but yeah i need to get myself unstuck and then stay unstuck!

BW: 79.2kg (LPR!) getting close to my goal weight of a stable post-cut bodyweight of <79kg. and it's the morning of day 8. Was thinking 77.5kg on day 21 is probably a good place to come off the cut. Then maintain and get strong as fuck. Actually when i say maintain, i mean a recomp cos i will likely still be too fat to stick at that bodyfat%. But recomp just means a smaller deficit anyway.

In summer when i was preparing for the comp i could hardly get ONE game since there is so much demand for spots. But come winter and games are just propping up regularly without even me seeking them out.

THe basketball gods have been kind to me.. maybe overly so .. a guy from yesterday's pickup asked if i wanted to play tonight. "It's my rest day bro" i wanted to say but i said im in. Do you think im making a mistake? Let me know in the comment section below

1822
balled pickup ... lots of games .. won most of them ... i beasted .. finished up wiht a game of 21 which i won. sunk like 4 3pts .. give me some space and im hitting that shit allll day. feels good man. cudnt dunk but i dont care, id rather perfect my jumpshot wooho.

when im practising shooting 3, i'll hit the first 6 in a row, then start to miss cos fatigue. but i will improve on that as i get stronger. then i'll be hitting 8 before missing, hopefully.

i did a dream like move. not fucking hakeem, i mean the word dream. went up for a layup on the left side, drew the defender into a block, drifted thru the air and came out the the other side and laid it in around the rim. everyone was like woah, some guy said "hangtime" and i cudnt believe i pulled it off! :)

1823
No starps, hook grip is better. But i dont even have a pair nor would i know how to use them if i did. When i was nearing 200kg worksets the ROM was suspect .. but it allowed me to do 180kg backoff sets with good form and rom so i know what it means to have a 200kg max. It's what it facilitates with "lighter" weight than im interested in..

anyway ...

im grieving round x2. i swear if she contacts me today to hang out im gonna flip out

plan for the day is to shoot a whole load of 3s and play some pickup. right hamstring is pretty sore tho, mainly from bench press lol lol

1824
Grip strength is related to CNS fatigue isn't it?

local or global? i dont think global. I think if i put more on the bar instead of 150kg warmup i prob get it. It's that 2nd set. My hook grip is weak though. I need to figure out how to get myself unstuck. At least i shud maintain 2xbw RDL worksets... but 180kg is a better goal given i i was almost up to 200kg around the comp..

it's my hook grip, or prob my brain going nope this shit is too heavy for you, and my grip bails.

1825
BS 4x3x120(LPR), 2x2x120
BP 6x80(LPR), 2x6x79.5(LPR)
RDL 12x110, 10x150, 0Fx157.5 (da fuck?? it's my grip .. i cant unrack above 150kg.. why?)
WCU 4x102.9, 5x97.9, 2x6x90
LPD 2x6xwhatever stack
CRW 2x8xwhatever was on the stack

BW: 79.7kg (lpr, see previous post)

Notes:
damn that was some hard squatting. i need mo calories .. or at least get off the cut. will man up though and push thru the wall.

hurting .. im being thirsty .. i shud leave her alone but i keep trying to link up this weekend and she says she's sick. fuck this shit. is hud have just dated the 23 yaer old where the power dynamic was completely in my favour.

BW: 79.7kg / 175.71 lb (LPR!!!!)

FInally broke thru the 80kg barrier. On the start of day 6 which is nice. Last night i was freaking out that i wudnt be able to train well today because i felt like shit .. so i had roast pork, a cheese burger, protein shake and a frozen chicken microwave meal. Hopefully that was enough to get me recovered enough to LPR today, squats.

I cant wait to hear 'you must have flown when you were younger' when i land my first set of windmills!!! Motivation level: super fly for an old guy

Mate how much do the skinny comments kill you. I'm the same. Lost 3-4kgs and people start commenting. Only problem is to look huge in clothing I need to be 100+  no one has ever called me huge before and I've been as high as 98

i know :( we have to remember everyone looks "smaller" or "small" when cutting . muscles aren't as filled with glycogen, they get deflated and look smaller. We can hope that once you stop cutting and everything fills back with carbs you look bigger...

From 18-13% bodyfat when you cut you just look smaller especially in clothes. I've had the same thing happen to me. When I'm losing weight people say I look smaller :(

true. someone in shape looks bigger without clothes than with. little consolation when 99.99% of the time you're wearing clothes though.

What I never understood is people having to comment on how you look. How about you shut the fuck up and mind your own business? How's that for an idea? So, when someone says anything about how I look now, I tell him that. Doesn't matter who he is.

i dont take it as a slight .. just ppl sharing their observations. like i said, one person says it you can go whatever. but when a dozen ppl say it, you prob shud listen and revise

1829
I forgot to mention, the first person who saw me after a while said "youve got so skinny!", i shrugged it off. Then by the time the 9th person told me the same thing, i think i need to do something bout this shit.. lol. hopefully after i come off this cut, go to maintenance calories i'll look bigger .. and then there is creatine gains down the road too. Maybe. But it does motivate me to kill it in the weight room more than ever.. i need to look bigger so i get the first 'you look huge' comment since i gained 30kg back in 2009.

BW:80.2kg / 176.81lb (LPR; new scales)

This is day 5 and im already showing decent body recomposition ... abs and stuff are starting to show in the mirror in the mornings .. so that's good. But im still fat as fuck. Hopefully by day 10 and 21 im in a LOT better state. Then i can end this cut.
