What do the two of you have in mind?
Trained late.
121,9 kg. Wrong direction but I had Sushi yesterday. I already expected this week to be hard for the diet. The weekend won’t be any better. I’m pretty much just focusing on damage controland balance.
1 oh box squats
3 x 8 @ 35 kg
2 squat (no belt or sleeves)
5 x 3 @ 125 kg
Squats felt all over the place technique wise. I think the new gym and all is contributing here. Will surely get better over time.
3 power clean
5 x 3 @ 70 kg
Long time no see. Was fun but rusty. Triple extension wasn’t there on a lot of those. Lots of potential here, to put it mildly lol.
4 btn press
3 x 12 @ 42,5 kg
Easy stuff.
5 lat pull down
4 x 15
Easy workout. This was actually really good to destress.
Hand is getting better.
Mid back is still tensing up after workout. But it’s also getting better. I think besides the contest, it’s just a lot of stress for thst srea since I specifically work towards improving t spine mobility.
I’m in the process of potentially acquiring a training partner - we’ll try to get a session in next week. Would make gym time more enjoyable me thinks and he is a very strong powerlifting boy so might push me to get better.

@Voxel I agree with your write up and I don’t think it’s belittling anyone, it’s just an objective view.
What do I have in mind?
- I did think about this a little this evening and it’s honestly hard to narrow down to specific things that stress me. I have some thoughts but time is running out and I will have to get back to this as soon as I csn sit down for a minute to put my thoughts into written words.
Please do, and don’t let it be another stressor. Whenever you feel properly able and so inclined.

Here’s and idea I think you might enjoy:
Microwave cauliflower until it’s very very soft, then transfer to a very hot saucepan on the stove top, salt to taste. Mash until soft and slightly browned => cauliflower mash
- it actually turns out really creamy
I’ve got a nice side I like to have with my steak. I call it “steak”

It looks like white broccoli, very similar nutrient profile, but a lot more versatile
Ah you mean the actual vegetable??
Your recipe sounds very strange

Haha 
yeah… but it’s easier to make/clean up than other cauliflower mash recipes, lower calorie and doesn’t taste that different
I’ll tag u in all me steak pics then lol
Why?
I think I’m so confused because I’ve never heard of someone turning cauliflower into a mash or microwaving it 
. Soup I get or just steamed/ cooked in water. Still a good reminder that there are other things besides brokkoli, haha.
Best (cauliflower) mash recipe, fight me

Spent yesterday drinking from 12 to 12 (university introduction weekend, you know all the usual embarrassing drinking games etc.) It was actually good fun. I’m a bit tired and fatigued today but woke up without a headache, nausea or upset stomach. Given the amounts of alcohol this should probably tell me sonething, but let’s not go there. Maybe my liver is just secretly on roids.
I wanted to train tonight because I know I won’t have time to train tomorrow. My grandfather used to say “he who can drink, can also get up to do his damn work”
1 oh box squats
3 x 8 @ 40 kg
2 push jerks (beltless for the extra challenge)
5 x 3 @ 100 kg (I was a naughty boy and rounded up)
2 broad jumps
5 x 3
3 seated db press
2 x 18 @ 24 kg
1 x 16 @ 24 kg
I I can’t deal with these rep ranges. Also 25 kg was programmed and I had to chose between 24 and 26 kg. I pussied put and still failed.
4 wide grip shrugs
3 x 25 @ 90 kg
5 hollow holds
3 x 25 sec. @ 5 kg on hands and feet.
20 minutes stationary bike
Notes:
- the strength part was quick. I find that I do very short rests between sets when I’m in a commercial gym by myself.
- coach has given me three cardio options: 2 km treadmill walk at 5 km/h, 20 minutes bike an d 5 x 500 m Rowing with 60s rest
