ha! All Ireland Final weekend happened..

Finally got around to a lower power workout this evening

Barbell Shrug

Between stags, weddings, work trips etc over the next 6 weeks its going to be impossible to run UD 2.0 or even stay in a consistent calorie deficit, so I'm going to transition back towards a calorie surplus / gaining strength a bit earlier than anticipated.

I was enjoying the UD2.0 but if I cant stick to it 100% theres no point in trying to half arse it. I will be constantly stressed and pissed off at myself and training / nutrition will become a huge negative part of my life as opposed to something that enhances my life. I dont want to fall into that trap..

The past week has been a bit:



Was all over the country looking at cars, have it bought now so going to start a strength program monday and plough on again. Ive been eating well generally and am still floating around 76kg. Got in a lower workout today and will do upper tomorrow.

Squat
10x20,10x20,5x60,5x75,3x95,3x115,3x115,3x115

This is 90% of 1rm for 3x3 so im happy with that
DL
10x20,5x60,5x80,5x100,2x120!

These were awful, was supposed to do 2 x 5 @ 137.5 and the 120s felt like 1rms... So I did a few singles at 120 and left it at that. My deadlift is all over the shop the past while, I think I need to go back to first principles with it and build up again. Its the initial pull off the floor that gets me, cant get my hip position right, I actually feel much stronger and have more leverage in the RDL, If I could get that kind of tightness / glute /hamstring engagement in the deadlift id be flying it.

RDL
5x60,5x82.5kg,5x82.5kg,5x82.5kg,5x82.5kg,5x82.5kg

Always a fan of these, ended workout on a good note

Monday Night

Did lots of stretching and mobility, spent about 15 minutes in every possible angle of the goblet squat with a 20kg kettlebell, working on the ankles mainly. Im concious of minding my back after all the back talk on here recently so while my squat form is pretty solid I was still getting the smallest bit of "butt wink" an inch or two below parallel

Squat
10x20kg,10x20kg,5x60kg,5x80kg,3x95kg,3x107.5kg,3x107.5kg,5x107.5kg(3+ prescribed)

Paused Squat
Down slow, 2 second pause at the bottom, explode up, again wanted to focus on technique and stability. humbling with 60kg!
5 sets of 8 x 60kg

RDL
8x20kg,8x60kg,8x85kg,8x85kg,8x85kg

Slowly ramping up the amount of food im eating, lots of roast chicken, oats, milk, cheese. Dont have much time atm for meal prep but I should be back firing on all cylinders next week.

Wednesday Morning

Met COH this morning at the crack of dawn and we drilled the deadlift for ages



Didnt actually lift any weight with the power plank ™© but it really helped me to feel what a really tight setup with a neutral back should feel like. It also stopped me from looking up like I was.

Did loads of reps at 60,80,100 and finished up with 10x120 which felt heavy but manageable

While I was there I did some benching and chins just to stay ticking over. WIll probably do some front squats and arms later in the week and go head first into a program monday

Super dooper anabolic mooju and oats breakfast



I have brocolli / carrots / 7% mince for lunch

conzy

Haven't made a video in a while so heres some 1200 calorie burgers with 125g of protein

Well, that doesn't sound unpleasant at all...

conzy

Never did it before, looked like some kind of medieval siege weapon.

I was genuinely worried I was going to rip my hamstrings off the bone on the first set. Ill progress to a small plate next week and try build up from there

Unless you've raised the footplate as high as it goes and you've brought the pad in closer so that your knee is closer top the top of the pad, then I'd look at increasing the pain work that way before involving plates.

Enjoy worrying about whether or not your hamstrings are literally going to explode on the next rep

Oregano_State

Yeah I wouldn't go about adding weight to a GHR until you can lower yourself completely to the floor/parallel in a controlled manner. That will take probably take a long time btw.

EPIC food videos man . When I'm making homemade burgers I use one of these jobbies
I make them thinner so they only need 4 mins on each side to cook through on the pan.Handy way of making them all the same size too for uniform cooking time.:)

conzy

That looks class, the problem with finishing them in the oven is you lose a lot of juice, all dem gains, down the sink. Ill try pick up one of those!

There's probably a handier way but if I have tin foil left over after hat-making, I put burgers in 'em after a sear and maximise the juice gainz.

Wednesday night

Mobility and foam rolling. Spent a lot of time in the goblet squat position working the ankles. Rolled where the hamstrings are inserted into the back / side of the knee. They are in bits from the GHRs agony.

Eating in around 2900 calories daily (~240g protein), weight is kind of in equilibrium so I'll re assess shortly



I have loads of footage of other meals I'll try to get a video together the weekend, I should really just release smaller videos more often.

Alf Veedersane

Build the anticipation.

Then bring out the DVD cookbook and make dem wallet gainz.

Oregano_State

Surely you'd be gaining a bit of weight on those kcals?

Did you not get the newsletter? :pac: I threw in the towel on the cutting. Going to concentrate on increasing my lifts and adding a bit of mass for the next 6 months. Cutting will be easier next time with what I've learned.

Oregano_State

Yeah I knew you were bulking, just when you said your weight was in equilibrium it threw me off a bit.

Another powerful session, back is in bits today, I know I joked about it before but I also find it hard to tell the difference between lower back doms and actual damage. I think I need to stop being paranoid and take some MTFU pills. Im sure If I ever actually hurt my back I wont be able to get out of bed

Post workout had dextrose, whey, creatine shake.

Ended up eating 500g+ of scrambled eggs as I had egg whites near expiry, 3 eggs, 400g of egg white, 80g of cheddar, a green pepper and some spices = egg gains



hit 300g of protein yesterday, oops

I presume that 'once opened, use within 48 hours' is a guideline that can be flouted by, give or take, 72 hours...?

conzy

I used to open one on a Monday and it would be grand until the Thursday. In this case it was actually expired but had been refrigerated and unopened. I made sure to use all of it within 36 hours or so, its cloudier than fresh egg whites anyway, probably because they pasteurise it

I've probably opened one midweek, and finished it by the middle of the following week.

But I'm still alive.

As an aside, I could be carving slices off a baby panda for a sandwich and people would fascinated by the bottle of egg whites. Every day it's another gfame of 20 questions on it.

"And why dont you eat the yolks?"

I do I just want to eat more scrambled egg so I add this

"So how many eggs are in there?"

Just three whole eggs.

"Why dont you add more whole eggs"

Because I dont want to eat more fat in this meal

"i hear that fat is bad for you? You know you can only eat 1 egg a day or your heart will explode in your chest"
