This is usually the case after a personal best weight. Sometimes for me though, I just need a longer break for the muscles to readjust back. I was wondering how long of a rest do you do between sets and between exercises?

Eats:

Lentil Vindaloo with broccoli:




Tofu Strips in BBQ sauce:



Tahini and apricot conserve sandwiches, and some tofu with kebab paste:



Nutri-Grain Cereal with cinnamon and soy milk:



Organic Weet-Bix, Banana, and nutri grain with cocoa and soy milk:



Very brotastic of me: Broccoli, Cauliflower, and some Sanitarium Reduburger:



2 PB and J sandwiches on sourdugh rye bread, and 2 pieces of soy and linseed toast with sunbutter andapricot conserve (Right before bed):

I swear by that soya & linseed bread. Was that with the peanut butter on my advice great bulk tool!!!

For a second breakfast try x2 torlliia wraps with some scrambled tofu, bit of replacement cheese with some tobasco. You could hit up some spinach leafs to get some minerals in also

LOL, yeah, thanks!

I will definately try that meal suggestion, however I will have to miss out on the cheese replacement, as there arent any vegan cheeses in Austraian supermarkets.
