^^ ewww mince :puke:

Only tastes gud in pies I reckon :nod:

Sorry I know that its been discussed elsewhere but is IF for cutting or bulking?? :-s

IF can be either, depending on setup.

i agree regular mince is poos.

i buy 'weight watchers' mince at aussie butcher. its just really lean mince, for the same or lower price than supermarket premium. try it!

strength has been down across the board this week, i hope its just an adjustment thing for IF. ive been eating clean, but BIG, i think, aiming for 200g protein, plenty of good fats (tuna/PB) and a crapload of carbs, i shouldnt be getting weaker. il give it another week and assess.

Hey bro, haven't visited your journal for a while, just caught up. Good to see someone else giving IF a crack. I too was surprised at how easy the adjustment was in terms of not feeling hungry. How long are you planning to stick with it?

I see a couple pages ago you mentioned back-loading, did you actually have a go at that? I stumbled onto Keifer's site the other day and have been reading up on back-loading seems like it might be a good step when I come off IF (kinda the opposite of what you were talking about). I'd be interested in hearing your experiencces with it.

hey bro! gonna stick with it for at least 6-8 weeks, if it works well il look at just keeping on it. liking it so far though, just trying to see where my macros should be -roughly :lol:

i did backloading for a week, just as a 'bridge' between normal 3 hourly feeds and IF. id originally planned longer, but i will say the backloading thing was easy. something id def. look at again.

Oh sorry to hear you're not well matey. Hope you get betterer real soon. Or maybe soon enough to come fishn on Thursday but still sick enough to stay off work :wink: We have cake/steak and all the goodies :nod:

wish i could! already taken 2 sick days this week, and one of the boys has already called in sick 2morrow. but i may shoot up to coast on friday, scedule allowing - i need some whey :wink:

todays eats:

1200 250g chicken,20g PB, 20g satay, serve of kumara,2 bananas,scone

345 250g chicken,1 bag of chicken soup stuff.

500 180g tuna, mayo, mixed veg, 500ml milk

630 6 size7 eggs+mayo

today was basically a skills assess.

bad news first. bodys a bit fucked, i always know when my stress levels are topped out, cos i get ulcers. dealing with all these cunts with insurance, work etc has taken its toll. so not in great shape atm. finally managed to get my new car, those on my FB can see the pics of my new ride 8)

deads

60x5

80x5

100x3

120x5

135x3

150x1

170x1 - equal last successful max, see vid

185x1 PR *

185x0 miss **

* i always seem to break off the floor easy enough, but lockout is were i really struggle, as the vid shows. got there in the end, just. this marks 2 little milestones for me - 2xbodyweight, and the 400lb barrier 8)

** thought id be optimistic and try a slight setup change, looser belt. total fail, plus was a bit dumb to think id do an rpe 10 twice in one sesh :lol:

todays eats:

1230 250g chicken, 20g PB,20g satay,half kumara, 2 bananas, 1 nut bar

post train: 100g whey,60g dex

230 250g chicken,20g satay, half kumara

500 180g tuna, 20g mayo, mix vege

600 500ml milk

looking good sfs good dead technique for sure :nod: :nod: keep it up bro you looking solid too yeeyaaa!!

if being a fat stickboy counts, then yea boi im solid :lol:

awesome work brother :clap:

place it over on the deadlift topic mate that would be cool well done on PB.

mate maybe try adding in some speed deficit work off a 2 inch board or a 20 kg plate might help lockouts in long run. 8)

VP

done mate, and yea i dodeficiets regular, gonna do more rev/band work i think, work lockout more. not a fan of rack pulls.

Just checked out the video, nice work!

cheers TFB! 35kg to go!

Shit better get my ass in to gear tatts is catching up real quick! Beat me to the 2xbw pull, good stuff bro! :clap: :clap: :clap:

*note* mean ride brah, must be dubbed the pussy wagon :pfft:

cheers brobrah :lol:

i dont wanna be a 1-trick pony though, i need to make real progress in squats as my first priority.

Shit hot, brother, well done on the 2xBW, and new PB. That's my immediate goal for deads.

Interesting re the belt...I've never used one, does it really make that much difference?

thanks mate. doing it while on limited cals (IF) is a bonus too, i wasnt carbed up or anything. i think the belt helps a little, but i just didnt have a 2nd one in me, that was an absolute max for me. belts ftw though. maybe there is some residual wookie power in it :lol:

agreed re the naming of car nice tints no peeking into those windows when you parked up at the beach with uh :shifty: lol

LOLZ you fellaz. when im logging about 'pulling' you guys are talking about pub strays :lol:
