<p>Blondie today did skipping and some abs circuit</p> -
<p>Great session this morning. Really good when you back up a crap one (like yesterday) with one like today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Trying out a new preworkout my best mate is formulating. Not 100% sure on ingredients as yet but very impressed for a single scoop. Lazer focus, solid pump and really good clean energy. The mood enhancement / feel good factor though is out of this world. Wow.</p>

<p>Also picked up my monthly allocation yesterday which in addition to the new test stim including some BCAAs, protein bars (fuk left them in the car) and a tub of casein whey. I dont usually use casein but will replace my post bed whey shake with the casein whey. It's chocolate too so a good one for the evening when you often need something sweet to satisfy.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>At my suburban YMCA we're lucky to see any women under the age of 60. They have been spotted, but are as rare as hens teeth and mostly a bit on the wobbly side.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Used to be some absolute crackers when I trained in Oslo :man_in_love:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Love my gym though. Bit of an early 80s feel and most inhabited by seniors with nothing else to do, but has everything I need and always heaps of space and no waiting. The odd hot blonde wouldn't go astray though....</p> -
<p>Two days rest always does me well over the weekends. Seems to set me up nicely for a big monday</p>

<p>BB press - 15x60, 10x80, 5x90, 5x90, 5x92.5</p>

<p>Tricep OH cable extensions - 15x38kg, 12x44, 10x50, 10x50</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Big week ahead workwise and hopefully in the gym as well. Planning heavy squats tomorrow but will see how we go. Some volume in the deadlifts on thurs and shoulder destruction on weds.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Weighed in yesterday (gonna do them weekly on Sunday mornings) and was bang on 80kg still but now just under 14% body fat. All good for now.</p> -
<p>Any targets in mind for squats tomorrow? Good call to rest up over the weekend - sometimes its the last thing you want to do but gotta let the body recover from time to time!</p>
-
Bugger your body fat, what was the blonde doing?
-
I'll bet you just happened to be "limbering up" behind her

<p>Noice, repping one-fiddy at 80kg bodyweight is really good! That'd put you at 160-170 singles for sure.</p>

<p>Fucken hell Paeks, stop watching those Broscience vids I keep tagging you in on FB ! they're changing you !</p> -
<p>Feels like I'm eating a lot at the moment. Always seems to be time to eat but never hungry other than for that post training meal. Usual day has been looking like this:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>5.10am rise, stim and 40g glycofuse (carb)</p>
<p>530-645am train sipping on BCAAs</p>
<p>645am protein shake and a really ripe bannana</p>
<p>740am couple of scoops of oats with cinnamon plus scoop of whey, 3 fish oils, 2 vitamin c</p>
<p>10am (ish) - 1 cup kumara, some chicken breast and green vege, couple of mandarins</p>
<p>12.30pm (ish) - 1 cup kumara, some chicken breast (or can tuna) and green vege, couple more mandarins</p>
<p>3pm ish - 4 eggs and 10-15 almonds or a protein bar</p>
<p>6-7pm (somewhere in there) dinner - whatever wife makes but usually low carb - lots of meat and and greens. If I get my choice it's salmon or scotch fillet but yeah just whatever is going.</p>
<p>930pm protein shake before bed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's if I turn down all the other stuff that is floating about at work and home like cakes and biscuits etc.</p> -
<p>Has any research been done about not eating carbs for lunch? My rice cooker has died and I've had a few lunches now without the usual carbs. It actually felt pretty good having heaps of chicken and veggies sans carbs. Doubt it's good long term though. Energy needed.</p>
-
Meal timing can impact things but total calories are much more important.<br><br>
You will be feeling good as no post lunch carb crash. I'm not fully up to speed with why we carb crash but I think it's worse when the carbs are high GI and convert to sugar easier/faster. They give you the up and then you get the down. Lower GI carbs give more sustained energy.<br><br>
And thats primarily what carbs are for....energy. Should time the intake around training sessions to get the most out of them<br><br><br>
I drop carbs back a plenty when I'm looking to lean up. Actually up fats and protein and drop carbs right back for the majority of the week. I then have weekly refeed or higher carb meals or days to keep sanity and the body from getting use to the low carb life. Works well, for me anyway
