tuc's training and eating topic (back in business!)

[sosso]

Hey tuc, nice training! You're getting strong

That's a lot of protein bars! Makes me want some of them. They're the ones that are advertised on vegan fitness aren't they? How do they taste? I'm going back to Australia tomorrow and I'm bringing four boxes of builder bars and four boxes of clif bars .

I'd love to see more photos of your equipment and food.

Thanks mate!

That's 144 bars to be exact... I sold some of them already though. Yes, I got them from JP @ veganfitness. They're not as good as Clif Builder's but still taste like candy... not too sweet, which is a good thing in my opinion.

I gotta take some more pics soon... maybe a vid of me bench pressing 100kg? Well, I'll see what I can do.

L&G, I still don't have a name for my gym. The apartment in which I live with 5 veggie ladies is called "Linna" (= the Castle in Finnish) so Dungeon might be a good name here too. ^_^ Big & loving it! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogGynMLpgFY )

FIVE veggie ladies and you!!!!?!?!?

Oh man, yet another reason why it's good to be a veganbodybuilder That sounds slightly distracting actually, hmmmm Nah you just cannot go wrong in a situation like that.

That video was freaking HYSTERICAL! I couldn't stop lawling over here at my layover on the laptop. I think i need to take a flight to come visit and see what it's all about hmm wonder if Dani is reading this lol

L&G, that's right... sometimes I wonder how on earth I ended up living this way. Well, I'm not complaining. It's not that exciting but fun nevertheless. And you are always welcome here.

Rühl videos are always hilarious. Especially this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGl_TEj1IIc

Anyway, more training!

Yeah baby, thigh + shoulder action!

- Deep squats, barbell: warm up @ 65kg and without weights, then 5 + 6 @ 94kg (207 lbs), 8 + 10 @ 70kg -> I'm improving my posture in squats, when I get my technique under control I'll lift some real weights!
- Standing shoulder press, dumbbells: 10 + 10 + 10 @ 19kg per arm
- Lateral raises, dumbbells: 8 + 8 + 8 @ 13kg

Rühl videos are always hilarious. Especially this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGl_TEj1IIc

Damn this guy is really disgusting. He must have problems with digesting and eating dairies and meat will surely not help !

Damn this guy is really ing. He must have problems with digesting and eating dairies and meat will surely not help !

i'm farting and belching almost as much as he does. you don't? probably a lack of protein and water in your diet.

[Zack]

I farted more as a vegan than an omni. Tough stuff to digest.

[I'm Your Man]

I fart when I eat too much, or junk food, or doing certain food combinings, that's pretty rare. But if you think that farting is a sign of being healthy, that fine.

[John V]

Great progress Tuc!
Great log!

[tuc]

xphilx, actually I've studied some german but I still don't get all of that. Hilarious anyway. Damn, you must be quite a farter!

IYM, yes, ing. And fun. All people fart, but after certain amount per day it may not be healthy. At least for the people around the farter.

Zack, I think I'm pretty much at the same level. Maybe even less!

John V, thanks mate! Doing my best!

Hey Tuc, do you have any more photos to show us? I'd like to see what kind of stuff you have at home, like weights etc.

I like your xzibit photoshop work

[Zack]

I started eating 4k calories a day, in two chest training sessions i went from 5 reps of 185 to 10 easy reps (felt like i had 12 or 13) + 5 @ 205..

Undereating for a year, and almost no progression, time for you to catch me.

Not bragging, it's just our strength is similar i like to compete with you.

[tuc]

I've had a killer fever for 4 days now, I haven't posted pretty much anything since I've been too weak to even stand. I've had 102.6 F (39.2 C). I'll get back to my log when I feel like I'm not dying.

Also, there was some kind of a hair style contest thread somewhere. Please don't close it until I participate!
