Poor life choices. Time to do a runner and start again in a new city.

I don't get it? I Fucken love my life, Macaz is just low priority ? 

By the way @maccaz I'll be running a new butcher shop end of February so be sure to come get some specials haha south yara. It's currently under construction!

Bw 89.1 after first meal. If I can pull 250 at 89 I think the year would be quite a success in the deadliftImg area. I do feel as I was a little stronger 3 weeks ago and some back niggle has set in but that's just how it is. Did 3x3km walk yesterday and loosened up quite a bit and got into the gym today and things moved well. 5x2 at 170 and just some hammy/ab/lower back accessory.  

 

testing my max this Saturday. Placings go 1, 2, 3 over all in the junior/open/masters.

 

Ofseason I'm penciled in 3x a week lifting with quite the focus on mobility as well. But more on that later.

87.9

 

21 lifters in my division

 

Not as peeped as I'd like, but as prepped as I can be. Can't get back time. Lifting in a couple hours 

 

deadlift only

 

225 opener 

[maccaz]

You lost weight bro ? Good luck !! 

[Monarchking]

225 ⚪️⚪️⚪️

235 ⚪️⚪️⚪️

242.5 ⚪️⚪️⚪️

 

Altered plan slightly, warm ups felt average and no chance for a placing so secured a PB.

Will post the score board when I see it, there was some great lifts.

87 is where my body usually sits comfortably. Last comp I was 92.25 but pushed the calories a lot harder than this time. Just watched it come back down slowly over the last few weeks.

 

ive never missed 240 in training and have done it for 2. No videos but it felt 98% lol.

Training and goals set. Diet needs to dial in a little bit, some weeks I go pretty hard on some average food what probably isn't ideal for health and composition. So I'm working on a plan, just so I'm more prepared with my meals, more good fats, more vege and less diary and Big Macs ?

COMMENTS:

This is generally my diet schedule each day. I'm changing up some of my foods, less dairy(I'd live off cottage cheese and drink a lot of milk)  and want to avoid bread, pasta etc and don't want to go crazy on burgers, I defiently like 2-3 Big Macs in a sitting and just jamming in calories. Cooking with coconut oil and getting olive oil in. I don't use whey much  

This is a little light on calories for me, I'm a bit hungry. 

Weights arnt exact. 

No training today.
