You ever see that TV commercial where it says this is a Canadian police chase and they are trying to push their car and the wheels are spinning?
Woke at 252.9 lbs, looking similar to yesterday. I’m going with dehydration, I was burning up when I went to bed. Did some more air squats before bed and a bunch on rising this morning.
@duketheslaya beans and lentils just don’t bother me that way.
Yeah there are quite a few good Canadian climate jokes floating around out there, but I’m also easily entertained.
- fu*king beast. great dl’n too after all of the back “safety”.
enjoy that week of rest!
Premade food went well today. Seems like something I could eat a lot of consistently.
Went to the gym to get some blood pumping:
3x10 bracing hip thrusts
10x10 seconds bracing 90/90
Worked up on the indoor sled track to 10x2 plates, high handles one way and low the next. Did it with a couple of rests.
Then kettlebell sport style swings, some with 35 lbs switching hands once; short rest and some swing/snatch combo (one rep is a swing and then a snatch) until the impact hurt my forearms
Three sets lat pulldowns at 88 lbs, varying grips (Paul Carter with rope and back to machine seated on floor, then close grip then regular). Didnt count reps, just went till it burned, then went a little bit more
Three sets band facepulls. Same deal, no counting
Three sets reverse hyper with one plate, same deal.
Rehab stretching
Took around 45 minutes
Plan is to repeat something very similar on Friday
Woke at 253.3 lbs, looking similar. Did air squats until I loosened up again. Pretty congested in the head, left ear feels like it’s under water.
Fuck yeah mate, top job at the meet!
Prepped food is the bloody best, makes life Soo much easier.
Woke at 252.6 lbs, looking similar. Air squats on waking again, seems like I get loose quicker.
If you’re good with tuna then a tuna bake is a great way to get 1000+ cals in one meal that’s really not too hard to get through
Recipe please
Todays training
3x10 bracing hip thrusts
10x10 seconds bracing 90/90
Sled pushes
Worked up to 10x2 plates, this time in six and four.
Chest supported rows
3 sets with 44 lbs DBs, went till it burned then a few more reps
RDFs
3 sets with 22 lbs DBs, same as for rows
45 degree back raises
3 sets, same as for rows
Rehab stretching

Start by taking the tuna and throwing it in the bin, like the disgusting cat food it is. Then throw a big assed steak on the grill.
Except steak isn’t awesome days after cooking. Also not cheap
Boil pasta, pour said pasta into a baking dish
Mix in can of tuna with a tuna bake sauce mix, spread shredded cheese over top and into mixture
Bake for like 10/15
Super easy
I like spiced rice.
- Cook rice (lots of)
- Sweat off some veg (I usually use diced red onion, red pepper, courgette). If you have chorizo, add it in now.
- Add a healthy amount of: garlic (I use puree), ground cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt to taste and allow to sweat for about a minute.
- Add a good squeeze of tomato puree and mix into the rice. Depending on how wet the rice is, you might need a splash of water to allow the puree to mix in properly.
- Top with protein. Spiced and grilled chicken breast is cheap and keeps well.
Sounds like jolof rice. Mrs KO makes it sometimes. I’m a bit iffy on rice the moment to be honest. I’ve just eaten too much of it.
It could well be, adding piles of flavour is the only way I can get through rice though.
I’m enjoying couscous right now.
I might try that in a few weeks. Think I’m due a week of boring next week, so a big old bowl of chilli it is.
Any recommendations for couscous?
