chewybaws Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Thanks man! I just realised the chickpeas were wrong. It's only 4g protein off but it makes me wonder how many more mistakes are in my list. My scales and cup measures have came, so I'm gonna go through my list again and double check everything. I've been using a mug to measure cups in recipes. When I saw the 1 cup measure I was like "fuck that's small!". So chances are my pancakes have been way higher cal/pro but that's not a problem. I'm gonna keep making them the same way and just figure out the new numbers. I'll get this sorted out next week. Can maybe make a start tomorrow night. Prob turns out I've been eating more than I thought. We'll see. I can't wait to get it done - this new way is SO much better. Copying/pasting in excel is quicker than typing it out every day, and the calorie/protein count is invaluable. I've been doing it before by last meal or 2, or planning ahead just to make sure I get enough kcals. I can't believe how excited I'm getting over this, I'm such a geek!

chewybaws Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) Glad the back is feeling better!So am I haha. I think I dealt with it pretty well. I kicked my ass to ice it for the majority of the day on/off and done the right thing with exercises to get the blood flowing. I thought it was gonna take a lot longer to heal. Sat 13th March 2010 Pull-ups 9/5/4Barbell curls 5/5/6@30kg I was trying to convince myself that I done 10 reps of pull-ups in the first set, but I only made it over the bar in the last rep due to a good bit of jerking about.

Stenno Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hey Chewy, you still making your own Thrive bars? (I see you had a Nakd one the other day, found them in my Tesco, good price!) Any chance of posting a vid or photos of yours? I'm struggling with mine binding. Hope you had a good weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewybaws Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Thanks for all your kind words everyone @Mary aw naw you didn't did you? @Stenno cheers man! Last week I made protein bars using more or less a thrive recipe with brown rice protein. http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=228955#p228955 I'm waiting for some carob powder I ordered online before I made another batch, I'll try either a video or pictures when I next make them! Before adding protein powder the bars I made were quite moist, but after wrapping them individually and sticking them in the freezer they were okay. But now that I added protein powder they're much drier and they shaped great. I dunno if they'd work well with anything but brown rice protein because it's the only powder I actually like the taste of. Oh and my weekend was just spent mostly at work. But I also ate a lot, napped, done some pull-ups, watched some UFC =] Hope yours was good man. Lots of eating I hope!

chewybaws Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Week 4/10Bodyweight=153lbs Workout 10/30Mon 15th March 2010 Squats 5x5@95kgBench Press 1x5@45kg/50kg/52.5kg, [email protected] (1x5 target failed), 1x1@60kg (1x5 target failed)Barbell rows [email protected]/45kg/47.5kg/52.5kg/55kgWeighted Dips [email protected]/15kg/22.5kg Right so I've added an extra week to the programme because of my back last week. So 10 weeks, 30 workouts total now. Because I failed squats and had to deload barbell rows I'm repeating the weights that were supposed to be on week 3. Same with overhead press/deadlift since I didn't even attempt them last week. Although the weighted dips are the same weight as last week, they're supposed to be. Next week I'll move them up 2.5kg each set. Today went off to a good start. I had to work REAL hard for the squats. It was a battle convincing myself to get back under the bar inbetween most of the sets. Nervous system was crying like a little bitch. Although I didn't get the results, I worked hard at bench.Anyway, it seemed to take me ages to setup for barbell rows. I kept putting the bar down and fogetting I had to change the weights (and the height of the bar) and it just took me ages to do anything. It was the same with dips as well, I tried putting my big blue 20kg on, but after a rep it touched the floor. It was taking me ages to load and get things setup it just completely killed the fluency, and I ended up going nearly a half hour over the hour mark. My protection mat got delivered during as well, but glad I've got it now. Need to get some plywood and that'll be me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why today was all over the place, the only set I actually felt like I had a good grip of the bar was the last one. I'm gonna practice these saturday night if I get a chance.My legs had 2 weeks to heal up, and as soon as I'd finished the first warmup set there was blood. I need to order deadlift socks or do something.I was minced after deadlifts, pull-ups suffered. I stayed at my girlfriends last night, when I got home this morning I needed to eat something, was too hungry. Recently I haven't had breakfast before workout. I felt so bogged down at the start. I also didn't have any yerba mate tea before today. It was a real shame though, I think if there wasn't a 2 week gap I would've made the presses. Work weight isn't the time to be experimenting with grip. Anyways, today I'm meeting up with (my only) 2 vegan friends, gonna get some good eats =] This doesn't happen very often so I'm stoked!
