Eating cream as I type! Decided it was nicer to eat Eton mess than drink it in protein shake, the protein shake (with a scoop of meal replacement just for fun) goes along side it!

Plus berries are fruit, so the whole thing is healthy. Practically diet food.

That is definitely true I have a big pile of frozen raspberries that I defrosted in the microwave and some ready made meringues the whole thing is like a 2 min bowl of bulking deliciousness.

Week 3: Friday

Deads:
60kg X 5, 100, 120, 140kg X 4, 155kg X 4 X 4 sets, 177.5kg X 2, 200kg X 2 (PR proper one this time) 155kg X 8.

Gs:
Ohp: 40kg, 52.5kg X 5, 57kg X 3, 65kg X 8
Lat pulldown: 80kg X 12 X 4 sets
Ab rolls: 8 X 4 sets

Finisher:
Wgpu X 12 → Ng chins X 4, → lat pd 80kg X 10 → cable row 80kg X 10, 60kg X 10, 40kg X 20

Very happy with deads, Nice to match ohp from last week with heavier weight helped that I didn’t hit the joists. Dropped GHR in favour of abs, hammies were in shreds after deads. Arms have started taking over on back work, which is relatively new, never felt rows or chins in my arms before, even the lat pd my arms were giving up before back, given my goals for 2021 I’m not overly bothered about this.

Still knackered still got a cold, still getting it done though. Preworkout coffee and a chocolate orange, beautiful combo when you melt the CO slightly on the coffee and then suck the coffee off.

Nice PRs and all, but this sentence was worth the price of admission alone.

The bitterness of the coffee gives a depth of flavour to the chocolate. Acidity from the orange provides a pop of fruitiness that cuts through the sweetness from the chocolate and large quantities of sugar used to candy said orange
Although coffee and citrus, both acidic in nature, tend to clash, the chocolate from the chocolate orange acts as a bridge such that the coffee enriches the flavours of the chocolate orange

Good technical analysis - only slight problem is I’m talking about this:

51+t-m4aZ1L.AC

No real orange in sight (uses orange oil, tastes amazing, not sure if they are a thing in the States). The analysis mostly holds up but no real acidity to speak of, just bitter coffee and sweet chocolate orange.

Yea, but this is just dying embers of a weak cold, not really a sick pr. I’d label it man flu as it’s just basically made me feel very slightly under the weather and caused me to moan more than I should about it.

Noted. I thought the chocolate oranges you were referring to were candied oranges dipped in chocolate.

Apparently this is a real thing. Estrogen seems to have benefits for immunity

Good pulling and good way to make me jealous by mentioning chocolate orange. I love those things.
