I'm a slow eater though and it can take me 60 to 90 mins to get 2,000 cals PWO in.

^^^

I also try to concentrate kcals and carbs post-training at gym days. At times it gets a bit hard/annoying to force-feed a 2K clean(ish) dinner but you get used to it.

are you implying that chipotle and ice cream are unclean?  :ninja:

Haha see manic eating can apply to me depending on what I'm eating. If it's ice cream and chipotle then no problems. I had two oporto double chicken breast burgers in about 10 mins last weekend. Pizza, too easy. If, on the other hand, I'm eating two chicken breasts with 3 cups of rice and some veg/salad then that's a different story.

Haha, then we all agree. I eat the clean shit manic too though, and that is why i said it gets annoying/uncomfortable. I need to get this done quick, 'end the misery', so i rush.
FWIW, try adding some kind of homemade sauce. e.g. for chicken and rice, put in a cup 1 tbsp of olive oil, 1tbsp of mustard and 1tbsp of lemon juice, mix them and spill them all over the chicken, then take a cup (200g) of fat free Greek ( or any other nationality, idc :D ) yoghurt  and mix it with the rice. Still very clean, extra good fats from olive oil, extra 15-20g protein from yoghurt, but now the food, as we say here : 'slips down easier'.

I must have some Mexican junk next time i am abroad. We haven't got any of them here yet. We do have all the intl burger houses (Mc, BK etc ), the stake houses (maredo, block etc ), pizza ( domino, hat etc ), of course the local dirty delicious stuff ( gyros pita, souvlaki pita, google them if you don't know them, although i hear they are pretty popular abroad too  ) but not  Mexican. Me want!

Good idea on the sauces and yoghurt. I'm pretty sure the Greek's have the monopoly on that one.

Souvlaki certainly are popular here but mainly at 3am after 1 too many beers.  :D

Down with a intestine virus ( some light gastroenteritis ) since Saturday.
Getting over it but decided not to workout at all today, can't support a workout nutrition anyway.
Much derail lately, to be continued too this week ( much work plus labor-day Friday making it a 3-day-trip ).
Trying to see it as a forced unload, gonna hit it hard from next Monday.

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

RUNS & JUMPS SESSION :

1 MILE RUN :
Time : 9m:7s
Average speed : ~10.5 kmh
Pace : ~5:42s / km
-Weird. Felt very bouncy and fast. Was sure i PRed but i ended up 30s slower than my PR, in which i felt stiff and slow.

TEMPO RUNS:
5x80m@80%
Run ~15s / walk 45s / repeat.
-Those felt bad. Couldn't really sprint, just trying to push.

TODDDAY METHOD JUMPS:
SVJs :  max 26''
Dropstep : max 29''
1-step DLRVJ : max 30.5''
2-steps DLRVJ : max 30''
-Felt ok. Was jumping 1'' lower than season PRs but that was expected.

Not bad for not having done such a session for ~1 month. The bet is consistency, let's see if i can win it.

I never understood how people can half squat... but I never bend my legs when I walk or jump or sprint anyway.
Current PR status:

All time squat: 165 kg/Old age squat: 130 kg
All time deadlift: 184 kg/Old age deadlift: 140 kg
All time bench: 85 kg/Old age bench: 70kgx5reps
All time hip thrust (same as old age hip thrust): 160kgx5reps
