Fan-say!

I just put some turkey mince on a tray, spread it into a slab...garlic, salt, pepper, oven, belly, win.

I can't stand turkey. I don't know why cos I love chicken!
Chorizo is one of my favourite things in life.

If I've any room, strawberry protein & fruit + nuts & liberte later

Exact same as happened me this week. I think you just get days like that (hopefully!). We'll rock it next time

Xtrainer 40 mins, 4 miles.
Had no energy or interest til i got going. Then i wanted to lift stuff again too
I guess that's why i am supposed to 'deload' this week before test day

Press-ups are my new jam tbh - having said that I am finding it really hard to progress beyond the 10-15 rep range, but definitely stick with them imo!

19-02-2015 10:44PM

Ah yeah i got up to loads at one stage then lost it again. Be grand

Today was swim and massage
Did about 22 lengths before pausing, then 2 more
Oh the doms today is terrible

24-02-2015 10:49PM

test day with hanley yay o/

no goals this time to chill out a bit
was in evening so was quite tired and VERY stressed from the drive which led to overthinking things

anyway!
squat 60 -> 67.5

:D:D
failed the first attempt cos of my head. got it the second time
bench 41 -> 42.5 ! :eek:
I had to fight for that one hard but I got it!
(I actually thought my prev 1rm was 42 until I went back and checked so now I'm even happier about that)
deadlift we left at 100kg. I was tired. I also ended up doing a little dance cos my foot slipped and went sideways so it was pretty hilarious lifting it up hopping around the place

More importantly everything at close to max was a lot stronger and steadier than last time.
I'm very happy
Time to go back to pushing strength harder for the next cycle :cool::cool::cool::cool:

I read that as a crazy person who communicated through the medium of song.

Then I realised you meant a teacher who taught singing...

Why?

05-03-2015 12:21PM

The panting or something seems to harshen my vocal cords - got hoarse very quickly even though i wasnt singing from my throat at all
So we said no sprinting on lesson days to test it out
I wasn't eating dairy and don't have a cold so it seemed the first variable to check. She said she found the same from jogging sometimes

06-03-2015 09:31PM

doggy and i went out on our usual ~4.4km route, mostly walking, some running
we met a lovely husky out with his person out for a jog too

eclectichoney · 08-03-2015 06:59PM

Good luck with the new programme!

Am I right in thinking that you train in Crunch? Was it the DL branch with the squat rack? I used to train there for a good while but they never had that in my time

Nice

Yep! Never been to the DL one. I use the one in town mostly - i wish they got more racks there omg - and WMT the odd time like today

09-03-2015 10:14PM

I went to gymfreaks oly lifting class

:D:D
omg it was so much fun

:D:D
I'll totally be going back to that again!

I did a ... clean and into the front squat thingy
and a snatch!
also i accidentally mixed them up and did a clean into the overhead thingy which is apparently both very flexible and hilarious

downsides: warm ups and conditioning (burpees)

:P

That's it, you've let the secret out, I am officially never going! I have a serious burpee-allergy that can be life-threatening :eek::eek:

09-03-2015 11:23PM

I got to switch to mountain climbers, I like those

10-03-2015 09:54PM

Today I was reminded why I don't go to crunch in the evenings except for cardio/swimming
Like a madhouse

The result was I couldn't finish my program or do it in the right order as I literally had to grab what I could, equipment-wise
I will do the squats and def DLs on saturday or some other stage
And I won't try this again in an evening

Without further ado: day 1 of the "hanley is actually trying to kill me this time no seriously" program
