When I think of you as a glittery eyed old wife telling stores of yore, a lot of things fall into place lol.

Bodyweight: 89.7kg/197.76lb 



So finally under 90kg, although technically I already got there yesterday but not in the first morning weighing. Looking forward to training today, yesterday i started getting quad doms which I associate with sprinting, i haven't got those for ages, maybe back when doing RSR2. Lets see how I go squatting, hopefully sprints wont affect them too much.

Oh and another milestone, i got under 37" waist too. Although technically it's not well into the 36"s so it's no cause for celebrating, but like i've said, the sooner I get to 35" and lower, the better, because that's the cusp of being fat and non-fat to me.
Training
FSB 2x120
BS 2x2x132.5
BBS 2x140, 2x142.5, 2x140, 3x130, 3x127.5
BBALL ~ 30 mins (incl ~20 dunks)

Before I left home for the court, i weighed myself and i was 90.5kg (i think, it may have been 91.5kg but i really doubt that). Which was borderline. Came home and weighed myself and i was 89.5kg. Which is soo dumb, because it means i was dunking light. Not good. I want to maintain a man size 90kg bodyweight on any power activity, because doing it as a lightweight weighing 75kg/165lb is just being a pussy and cheating myself from being at my best which should be around 90kg/200lb. I keep repeating myself but it's really important i think to make this a priority.

So i tried the water thing drank 800mL before leaving home, and apparently that vanished during basketball practice. So next time i really need to arrange for a weighted belt and make sure my bodyweight leaving home is around 92.5kg. That way i can be sure i'm def jumping over 90kg.

Btw dunks today were so strong and powerful, it's hard to believe this is me jumping this heavy. I was dunking effortless single and double handed with powerful ease. This is what I should be focusing on. No one gives a shit when a lightweight gets up, no matter how high, but it's impressive when you're strong , heavy, powerful and athletic.

Wtf do weighted belts cost so much $$? Fucking fitness industry is a scam.

Going to try use this to determine my squat volume. I'm not sure how to structure heavy/medium/light or whatever, if i will even use that, but i'll see how it goes. I hate how squats need so much attention to maintain them. Meanwhile I can bench once a week, sometimes even skip it, and pretty much maintain 99% of my gainz. Fuck squats.

Here is the interpolated table i'm actually going to use:

Bodyweight: 89.3/196.87lb



I'm losing weight but it doesn't feel like i'm dieting. Eating 2 satisfying meals. It's hard to explain, doesn't feel like i'm actually cutting, when does it get hard?

I have found a weighted vest but the dude wants $100 for it, 20kg one. Fucks sakes.

The white man was onto a good thing when he designed the electric oven. I was privy only to some of his secrets, the use for making such fare as cakes and pizza. But recently I have dabbled, out of necessity, in ovencooking the simplest bodybuilding type foods. The results have been nothign short of amazing.  I have no idea what i'm doing as usual, just freestlying it here and there.  I used a recipe of recipe.com.au the other day, and I think someone trolled me, because the recipe called for using 240 degrees C to cook chicken breasts. Which was bullshit. Today i tried around 180C for 25 minutes and it worked so well. Chicken was juicy and moist, like i've never seen. I actually enjoyed it, and usually i despise anything to do with chicken breast cooked at home. I just never get it right. I have an unused George Foreman grill i got a few years ago and that never did a good job. Either i burned it, or it was raw, never got it right. But the oven changes everything. I'm supposed to be cutting but i'm having so much fun preparing and eating my meals lately, all thanks to the oven. I used some tomatos and chillis i got from the vege garden and threw in some onions (having no idea what i'm doing whatsoever), seasoned it all geneously, splash of olive oil, dashes of bbq sauce (dunno?) and that was it. Shit is fool proof, i can do this, even without any cooking ability whatsoever. No more hit and miss fucking around on the bbq or frying pan.

The best part is having solar power in a sun rich country so oven cooking is basically free. My mind is blown, things will never be teh same again. lolz.

I needed some carbs, and i've been making pasta recently, but today I just made a sandwich. The tomatos were so juicy and soft and with the onion as was the chicken breast, it was a phenomenal filling meal. I like that it limits my carbs to two slices of wholemeal bread too. Easy to track portions. Nice. Can't wait to try other stuff next time!

crock pot changed my life, man. just saying:

1.5 pounds beef chuck roast
2 onions
2 carrots
1 celery rib
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
spoonful of tomato paste
1/2 cup water
splash of white wine
oregano
salt
pepper

chop the shit out of the onions (tiny pieces) and saute them for a while, until they're getting soft. chop the shit out of the carrots and celery (tiny pieces) and add them to the onions. stir 'em around, cook 'em for a few minutes. add oregano, salt, pepper, canned tomatoes, and white wine. cook for like 30 seconds, then throw into the crock pot. cut the chuck roast into four pieces and bury them in the onion mixture. set crock pot to high, then leave it alone for 6-8 hours. when it's done, shred the beef with a pair of forks and it is DELICIOUS. i eat it with pasta but if you're low-carbing you could just add some parmesan cheese (or not) and go to town.

if you do the pre-crock-pot steps in a pasta pot, then you can add the beef and just stick it in the oven on 400 for like 3-4 hours. uncovered. it's done when you can pull the beef apart with forks.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

I have a very limited variety of food... I usually eat mashed potatoes with meat and some onion/cucumber/cabbage or soup. Other than that, plenty of cheese and bread and eggs. That's about it.

I'll have to try that out LBSS. I have a slow cooker but i've never used it, afraid of wasting a bunch of meat. I'll give yours a try as closely as I can. Thanks! Raptor, that reminds me, i should eat more potatos..

Training
FSB 2x120, 0Fx132.5
BS 1x135
Paused FS 3x90, 3x95, 3x100, 2x115 (PR)
BBall ~ 20 mins (no dunks, saving it for tomorrows training! Better be a beast for once).

FSB notes:
Had no pop. My body just wasn't interested in lifting heavy, waste of a stimulant stack.

BS notes:
Stupidly heavy for such a light weight. Lower back fatigue sprung out of nowhere after that 135, didn't court injury from there.

Paused FS notes:
Just tried something new, had to do something else after my usual plans were off the track.

I've been talking to a new girl this week. I'm not in love with her or anything, but she's growing on me. Lets see where it goes.
