  1. Thank you Veggieprincess

    My competitions are in September and October, I aim to do a couple of bodybuilding shows and have a powerlifting comp around the same time.

     

    Trained last night at my parents garage gym again.

    Was a back, shoulders, arms and abs workout.

     

    Seated goodmornings - 40kg x 6

    85kg x 6 x 3 sets

    Supinated grip bentover rows - 65kg + 2 chains x 10 x 3 sets

    Hit tyre with slegehammer - 10 reps each side (changed grip) x 3 sets

    Dumbell skullcrushers - 15kg + 2 minibands x 8 x 3 sets

    Supinated grip chinups - 6 x 3 sets

    Decline crunches - 15 x 3 sets

    Leg raises - 12 x 3 sets

     

    Meal 1 - Tempeh, chia seeds, spinach

    Meal 2 - Homemade protein bar

    Meal 3 - Lentil burger, spinach, avocado oil

    Meal 4 - 2 falafels, hummus, salad

    Meal 5 - Pre workout drink, carnitine, aminos

    Meal 6 - Protein bar, 50g walnuts extra, aminos and creatine

    Meal 7 - Lentil burger, mixed steamed vegetables (beetroot, spinach, green beans, spinach), olive oil

  2. I'll get some pics taken this week and post them up, still a couple of months out so not in any decent shape.... yet.

     

    Had a workout at the powerlifting club last night.

     

    Bench press - 60kg x 6

    90kg x 3

    122.5 x 3 x 6 sets - managed to get through the sets quite easily, next week I will start off heavier and try push through as many sets as i can

    Board press - 110kg x 5 x 2 sets

    110kg x 3 - The first two sets were paused but not for long enough, the third set I tried for 2 full seconds at a dead stop which was very hard. Got a bit of help on the fourth rep and a lot on the fifth.

    Dumbell shoulder press - 37.5kg x 5 x 3 sets

    Deadlifts - 70kg x 8 x 3 sets

    Squats - 60kg x 8

    90kg x 6

    115kg x 8 x 3 sets - still not dropping fast enough, I need to get this right with the heavier weights so when I wear wraps I will be able to drop into the hole deep enough. My legs were so sore after the first set (shouldn't have squatted the previous day) and I struggled through the 3 sets.

     

    Diet

    Meal 1 - tempeh, hummus, spinach

    Meal 2 - homemade protein bar (I got some recipes from Mike Mahler for some protein bars) it had Sunwarrior powder, nut butter, ground flax seeds and almond milk. I crushed some fresh walnuts and also some wheatgrass and mixed it though before refridgerating it. They are nice.

    Meal 3 - Lentils, tomatoes, spinach and olive oil

    Meal 4 - Pre workout drink, carnitine, amino acids

    Meal 5 - Vega shake, chia seeds

    Meal 6 - vege burger wrap with hummus and spinach

  3. I try to stay around the 2500 calorie mark at the moment but each day varies slightly.

     

    Trained at my parents garage gym yesterday.

    Speed bench press - bar x 20

    60kg + 2 10kg chains x 3 x 8 sets

    Pullups - 6 x 3 sets

    Hang cleans - 60kg x 3 x 3 sets

    Squats - 60kg x 6

    100kg x 3

    140kg x 2

    170kg x 1 - decided to try and go heavier for a change, felt pretty good, I could have probably gone a bit heavier

    Barbell calf raises - 60kg x 12 x 3 sets

  4. Yeah I still cop some shit from friends of mine, mostly just on my facebook page and not to me personally. Most people I know are supportive and very accepting so the criticism i get is usually just tongue in cheek. My guess is that most wouldn't say things to my face because I'm tougher than most people i know

  5. You've ventured into the darkside Pat!! Be careful or else you might start doing concentration curls and leg extensions and turn into a bodybuilder!!

    You're right about the club, just got to take the good with the bad.

  6. wow! can't wait to hear how your comp goes!

     

    Thanks MaryStella, I'll make sure I keep posting progress pics (not food pics) from now on

     

    I've never heard of ABC spread but it sounds delicious!

     

    It's just Almond, Brazil and Cashew nut spread. It's nice but not so much after eating a whole jar in a day

     

    you were aiming for 10,000 calories!!!?? I can't get near to half that in a day!

     

    Haha.. there normally isn't any need to!!

  7. We're not sure yet, still waiting on the Germans.

    Between 6 of us (there were 7 but we took the average of two guys) we ate over 56000 calories for the day. Crazy stuff!!

     

    Here's some of what I ate

     

    Vegan sheppards pie with a bit of tomato sauce

    Dark chocolate

  8. Heres the list of what I ate for the eating comp - didn't quite make it to 10000 calories but stuffed myself full anyway.

    Ate in total

    1 Vegan sheppards pie 470

    2 slices of pita bread (the big Lebanese bread pitas) 395

    Small block of 99% cocoa chocolate 170

    Post workout aminos 20

    3 scoops sunwarrior 240 - mixed some of the almonds in and ate like custard - thought of drinking a protein shake made my stomach turn

  9. Just had a workout at my parents garage gym, was meant to train at the powerlifting club but am short of time as I'm doing this eating comp and need all the time I can get - the powerlifting club is a real drag sometimes. I like having the MVS guys there but if we're all doing different things, it can get a bit boring.

    Anyway, I had no spotter so took it a little easier, especially on the bench press.

    Bench press - 40kg x 8

    60kg x 3

    90kg x 3

    120kg x 3 x 6 sets - should have tried a few kgs heavier but doesn't matter, did better than last week

    Floor press - 100kg x 5 x 3 sets

    Military press - 65kg x 5 x 2 sets

    80kg x 3

    Squats - 60kg x 8

    110kg x 6 x 3 sets

    Deadlifts - 60kg x 10 x 3 sets

     

    Still doing this eating comp so I'll post what I've eaten tomorrow, trying hard to get to 10000 calories..

  10. Had a workout Saturday morning, had the weekend off work so after I trained it was good to have a break. Also I needed to prepare for the Australia vs Germany eating contest which I'm doing today - I'll post my results after everyone is finished.

    Anyway Saturdays workout was the following -
