You can try to outsmart me all you want. It’s not that hard.

It’s overcoming oneself that is the real challenge.

I had 2tbsp butter + 30g honey before and a carton of egg whites+1tbsp butter after

Lunch was 10oz chicken breast skewers, dinner will be the other 10oz

will probably have some more eggs to make up the rest of calories

I feel like you’re trying to justify your decisions to us, rather than investigate them.

Food is honestly the hard part. I got home at 9:30 last night and had to eat 3 meals. Talk about miserable. Hell even sleeping in a couple hours makes it tough

For me, that would be the easy bit, but these things are relative.

6363

For me too depending. 3 meals I want to eat? Demolished. The 3 meals I had to eat? Barf city. This whole eating for purpose and zero pleasure is a mild form of torture.

You are eating like someone wanting to lose fat vs someone wanting to get strong.

I’m very lucky that i manage to make nearly all my meals palatable, but it’s still a push sometimes. The vegetable stew that sounded delicious when I planned it on a full stomach suddenly doesn’t look so appealing after a stressful 16 hour day.

I don’t have the time to cook daily, even if I did I don’t want to measure and weigh every meal to consistently hot macros. I cook for 5-6 days at a whack every time.

One day I’ll win the lottery and hire a private chef who will cook amazing things and I’ll hit my exact macros every day eating awesome things. Until then it’s gross food for da gainz

Me too, generally. Puts extra pressure on to make it pretty tasty if I know I’ve got to eat it for 6 days straight. Nothing worse than realising you’ve fucked it up on day 1 and knowing you’ve got to choke it down for 5 more days.

6368

I have found that spicy peppers and onions in a dish cover a multitude of culinary sins without changing the macros significantly.

Eating really fast is a similar hack

What if the sin is burning the onions?

6371

You might need a cooking class then.

A multitasking class would have been more appropriate.

I learned my lesson though, it’s 2 years later and I still remember that chilli.

Superset: squat- chin
5x(5squats-75kg+3chins)
4x(6squats-75kg+3chins)

Front squats: 3x4- 40kg w/ 3sec pauseat bottom+3sec concentric pause)
Conditioning: front squats- 12-40kg+9-45kg+6-50kg+3-55kg

  • didn’t want to do this, but go the work done, legs actually felt quite good by set 5 but was getting a headache so upped the reps to cut the amount of time under the heavy bar. Front squats felt good and smooth

Week 10: Day 2 (Yesterday)

Giant set: Bench- tricep pushdown- plank hip dip
5x(5 bench- feet up, paused, 95lbs+15 tricep pushdown-22.5lbs+30 alt plank hip dips

Superset: DB incline bench- incline bench row

Superest: DB flyes- bicep curls
4x(12 flyes-15lb Dbs+10 curls- 15lb Dbs)

5x(5dips+10pushups+20 air squats)

  • REALLY REALLY tired, like barely able to get out of bed tired, got this work in though and felt okay, bench felt surprisingly strong given circumstances, quite happy w/incline bench performance, flyes harder than expected

Week10: Day 3

Superset: Front squat- chin
6x(4 front squat-60kg+3 chins)
1x(6 front squat-60kg+3chins), pretty sure this is a rep PR, but considering
bodyweight increase, still weaker

RDL: 3x8-60kg
Good mornings: 3x5-40kg
1-5 of chins w/ 2x burpees btw sets (had to break up chins)

  • felt quite good today, legs still not feeling it but really wanted to do some heavy front squats. The plan was 10x3, but things felt good so I did sets of 4, then decided to push it for the last set to hit 30 reps. form was REALLY crap on the last two reps but got them up, RDLS were murderous, good mornings felt strong, got more chins in the PM, inspiration from @Bagsy

Week 10: Day 4, just a random day to take advantage of stuff I don’t have at home

Leg extensions: 3x(10- 55lbs+10-35lbs+10-25lbs), 90sec rests
Hamstring machine: 3x(10-25lbs+10-15lbs+10-10lbs)-90sec rests
Bench Press: try to max out, fail 135lbs, sticking point midway, press is so much better…
Chins: max reps- 8! Considering I’m 13lbs heavier, this is a big win @ChongLordUno @Bagsy
Powercleans: 2x5-40kg, 2x3-45kg

  • had to rush to the airport, so decided to play around, felt good, very proud of chins
