    Holy Crap!!!

    When I first skimmed over your post, I thought you were complaining about it costing $191.89 for two for a month. Then I read it properly. Yes it can be very cheap. My university has boxes of fruit & veg each week for $10, which is awesome. It's usually different from week to week, but still really good value each time.

    Post your Squat Pics!

    Elite FTS has some good videos on their youtube channel for squat technique. In this series they take a guy who has done some squatting in the past, look at his technique, then fix the problems he has. So far there's just two videos uploaded but the rest should be up soon.

     

     

    Vegan athletic shirts?

    So Planet Fitness is supposed to be a "Judgement Free Zone", but it's ok for them to judge and exclude the huge muscular guys who just want to lift weights?
    Yeah. I think their business model is to subscribe as many people as they can who aren't actually going to use the membership. The fat lazy people sign up because they know they need to workout and are comfortable that there won't be anyone there who is actually fit. They never actually go once signing up but are too lazy to cancel because the monthly cost isn't too much.

     

    favorite airline?

    Bumping this up. I'm going home tomorrow, flying Virgin America from JFK to LAX, then V Australia from LAX - SYD.

     

    The food on the flight from SYD - LAX was pretty terrible. At the time of my booking, there didn't seem to be a vegan option when I was selecting my meal preference, so I chose the one that seemed safe, which was "raw vegetarian". I thought that since V Australia markets themselves as a "cool, hip, progressive, new airline", the meal might be good. It turned out to be a few slices of tomato and some carrot sticks, for every meal! Wasn't too impressed. So I made sure to call them the other day, to ask if they had any regular vegan meals and it turns out that they do. It will be interesting to see what I get this time.

     

    I have packed some clif bars and builder's bars to snack on too.

    time to mix it up again (back routines)

    When I get home from my holiday, I'm probably going to do more of a bodybuilding style routine, but with all compound lifts. It will be split like this - Legs & shoulders, chest & upper back, lower back & arms / fun stuff.

     

    For upper back I'll do barbell rows and pull-ups, maybe dumbbell rows, then lower back just deadlifts. Probably 3 x 6-8 reps for each. Also on the legs/shoulder day I'll be doing clean and jerks, which will hit the back too.
