Anna's Training Log Part 2 (Part 1)

A lot of people don’t handle it well, training with a full stomach.

Another issue is that there is a limit to the rate that your body can digest carbohydrates, ballpark 100g/hour if you have a mix of glucose and fructose (digest via different pathways). So if you are eating 30-60 minutes beforehand there isn’t very much your body has time to do with them.

If you dont mind training full stomach, and have a bit of time between eating and training, then go for it. More importantly, if you like doing it and it works for you, definitely keep doing it and nothing anyone else says should stop you doing something you feel working.

Oh, no, just some irony, why so serious?

I actually read an article about ingesting protein before training was beneficial. I believe it was a t-nation article actually… cant remember but im not sure why volume feels better empty but heavy days full.

Thank for your input !

Well I was under the assumption your comment was hinting at being a bit snarky. I’m not the best at deciphering tone through text so my apologies.

As far as me being serious, I’ll admit that I am. Reason being because this particular user is skating around something that’s subtly proving to be somewhat of a growing issue. As it pertains to why I care? Those answers are in my log, where I’d prefer to keep them.

All I want is to just help, but it’s not my place, unless my help is asked for.

I think it’s just the language barrier. She is Russian afterall and English isn’t her first language. All good :slight_smile:

Cyka blyat! I believe you are correct lol

Guilty, I’m bulgarian. :).
It’s not so much about Language barrier- there is a language barrier often, but also it’s about the cultural differences. I see that too many joke topics are inappropriate in your western culture. Here we are used to make fun of really sensitive topics like sexsism, racism, politics pose and so on …

This is a painting from our sweet country. I don’t know if this happens in the United States of America what will be the consequences for the presenter. In Bulgaria there is just nothing happening on this issue. This is a normal thing and is usually without consequences. In the case it comes to the preliminary casting of the participants before they are admitted to the official casting. I apologize for the spam, but I put on a clip because you raised the subject of humor. There is also a translation in English.

I don’t think this has its place here. This is a very old show and it’s not representative for the Bulgarian music stage. And there’s no conections with my comments above.
But you’re right - usually without consequences.

I’m not technically western though. I’m Asian and I didn’t grow up in this sensitive era, so I generally don’t care what people say lol

Of course he’s not representative. It’s rare, but when it happens, the presenter keeps on taking shows. I gave the example to have a little fun. It has nothing to do with your comment. And otherwise the common is that people understand humor differently. In America, most of the people will probably be shocked by what happened. But in our country, some were shocked, and the most of the people was probably just funny, and they never put themselves in the same place as the offended boy. If Anna asks, let my comment be erased.

I love Eastern European history and culture- almost majored in Slavic studies :wink: the pe teacher who got me into lifting is also Bulgarian

I just wanted to correct @whang because from what I’ve learned, a lot of Bulgarians don’t like being confused with Russians

I don’t care for Pc culture

Thanks so much for your concern.
I want a 300lb+ deadlift (preferably by my birthday in late May), slowly get to 43kg (lowest weight class) while staying as lean as possible, maintain as much of my endurance/functional fitness as possible

@Pinkylifting

I’m going back to Shanghai for winter break next Wednesday, which throws a bit of a wrench into training. The deadlift workout next week is quite hard, but the squat workouts aren’t too bad. Could I maybe do the deadlift workout (scheduled for Wednesday) on Sunday?

That way, I’ll do the first squat on tuesday, fly Wednesday/thurday and squat again Friday

Im not trying to be an asshat, but you do realize you’re going to have to be anywhere between 10-15lbs heavier to get to the 300s right?

Maybe, but my pre- surgery PR was 270lbs at the same bodyweight and that with inconsistent programing, less food and much more conditioning

Fair enough. I’m just saying for future progress it might be the most optimal route to take. I’m not sure what you needed surgery for, but if it was training related, it would help to at least have essential amounts of body fat to ward off injury, or least aid in recovery. Not saying you have to stay with an additional 10-15lbs Permanently, but at least for peaking season.

It didn’t have anything to do with training. I had a stent in so I couldn’t deadlift for 6 months- just started back up in October.

By the way, your profile pic is gorgeous! What do you study?
