Thank you, appreciate you dropping by. Was beginning to think nobody reads a lot of the journals on here, my previous page had hardly any comments on it lol. Maybe I need to add in some pics of fast cars and naked women ?!

 

Busy day but squeezed in a quick 30min squat session a bit over an hour ago. Felt good today, worked up to a double with 220 and that felt comfortable. Nutrition has been also been pretty good and I'm slowly upping the calories; blueberry pancake stack before the gym and a deluxe vegan burger straight after. Now I'm about to have a big bowl of oats, homemade muesli + fruit.

 

All on track, coffee gets dropped out of the diet tomorrow so start of the week could be a bit rough haha.

Dinner

So I've been carbing up in preparation for tonights big session with James and some of the big units at Eastide gym. Yesterday looked like...

 

1) Went out for breakfast in the morning and had a fresh bagel, scrambled egg plus a bowl of oats & fruit

 

2) Mid-morning I had a protein shake (added in some Glutamine & creatine)

 

3) Lunch was a large salad with 3 x pieces of GF bread

 

4) Mid afternoon I cooked up 300g spinach & ricotta tortellini with a homemade black lentil curry to go with it

 

5) Trained early evening but nothing too heavy, dinner when I got from the gym was pizza with friends. I had a large vegan pizza (refried beans, avocado & jalapeno's)

 

Today I'll be keeping the carbs & protein reasonably high, tonight I'm hoping to try for a 400 DL which will be my first time since February. We're also hitting bench so I'll be looking for at least a solid 220. Keen to better my meet PB of 232 this time around, I think I can. I'm going to try and get some good video from the session, will post up over the next day or so. Laters MF.

Awesome video!

Why did you refer to your initial deadlift in it as a deficit deadlift?

 

Very strange to hear your voice when I'm so accustomed to font haha

This may be rather ignorant of me, but was this a long weekend for you? It was thanksgiving here.

Nice lifting as always.

 

Do you like straight oats better over a mixed grain cereal for porridge? I generally use a 10-grain mixed cereal (http://www.bobsredmill.com/10-grain-hot-cereal.html), but it needs to be cooked well otherwise it is difficult to eat and digest. I haven't tried soaking it overnight to soften it up a bit, but I suspect I'd still need to cook it. I like the mix of grains, but I haven't done the research to see if just oats or maybe a rolled grain blend would be fine for macronutrients and vits/mins. It certainly would be a lot easier to prepare and eat.

 

I prefer muesli over the grain mix, though. I think I recall you mentioning that you eat it too. I like to let it soak in soy milk for 10-15 minutes before eating it cold. A good mix of rolled grains with seeds, raisins, and dates can't be beat!

Thank you, you are too kind

 

I like to do deficit deadlifts using smaller plates (in the video I'm using 15kg plates rather than the standard 20's). What this does is bring the bar lower to the ground, therefore making the lift slightly harder due to an increased ROM and having to recruit slightly different muscles to break the inertia at the start of the pull.

My accent is a mess lol. Left the UK when I was 20 (worked on a cruise liner for 5yrs and shared a cabin with an Aussie for most of it), have been in NZ for a little over 10yrs. I no longer sound anything like the rest of my family which is a little weird.

 

No, just a normal weekend for us here. Although saying that I finished up work on Friday and don't go back until Thursday so I am having a few days off. Cool getting to hang out and do the family stuff that I miss out on through the week. Just picked up our youngest from PreSchool and I'm taking both of them swimming this afternoon, love it.

Yeah, I tend to like eating straight oats with muesli mixed in with them. Soaking is best obviously, I usually leave mine overnight.

 

Time to type some training sessions...
