Mind over Macros

[teamfatboy]

Nice work with the triceps... especially the close-grip press :notworthy:

Guess that comes in handy with all the looting and pillaging (no, wait, that was the Vikings :grin:)

My cafe doesn't have cake, they've gone all Frog on me, with Gateau and friandes and brioches :shrug: ... but at least they understand that if there's space in my cup, they fill it with coffee, not milk! :shock: 8)

workout looks better, make sure your really pushing yourself the gains should be coming very shortly with your diet.

[rose]

Cable press downs...then stripped weight off till failure in 10lb increments down to 50lb...nasty

Nice 8) I did this last night too! Sometimes, to see how far I've progressed, I do something BB stylez at the end of my sessions. I did rope pushdowns last night, starting at 100lb for 10 reps and decreasing to 30lb over 35 reps with no rest. It was choice! :pfft: I actually did it to show off a bit cos chicken legs was there doing them at 80lb momentum stylez :crazy: and I know I make him feel inadequate :jive: Please don't lash me chicken legs is a twunt and if you saw him you'd be all head shaking and haha tut tut etc if only in your head!

Brown rice 8)

:pfft: at latte! That's not a very pirate like drink is it? :shock:

over 35 reps...not getting a bit soft on us are ya :shock:

Im a modern pirate. We get to make up the rules of engagement as we go along..its quite cool actually. We still have a code of ethics mind you and should one of us of be found straying from the path then its a dead cert there will be strife...pieces of eight for the loss of a limb, etc etc

Wooden legs and clocks in crocodiles tummies, walking the plank and drowning in a barrel of rum...all things of the past. Nowadays its fast ships, fast woman, big wheels and bulging pecs 8)

Speaking of which...Im resting mine today 8)

[rose]

not getting a bit soft on us are ya

Never! End of session and I was rooted by then. I thought it was a good token BBing effort actually after all the other crap I'd done :pfft: :snooty:

:shifty: :pfft:

I worked down through the stack in 10lb increments like you so I must be aye Mr Pirate? :grin: Interesting to experiment with the BBing stuff after not doing it for ages 8)

Hey I noticed your journal is now 121 so you musta packed on another kg huh? :-s

[steak]

This is true...121kg as of this morning....hardly surprising as I've swapped the knife and fork for a shovel 8) eg carbs at lunch today was 3000kj of couscous which mopped up the juices from a 300g steak...only just had room for the apple

125 is the next goal and then 130 from there. And then its a cut...that will be a culture shock :pfft: but a while aways yet thank alah

[thatwaslight]

[rose]

Cut??!? :shock: I will :pray: for you my son :pfft: 8)

:shifty: Is 300g pre or post sizzle? :-s

[steak]

[Specter]

Thats a cheat crumb. :shock: :pfft:

[rose]

Red meat, difference can be up to about a third. Depends on the cut, cooking time etc... Just wondered cos 300g cooked weight is a small feast om nom nom =P~ 8)

Yay re cheat! How old is the little person?

[biggurl27]

presuming the protien content is reduced then? If you say yes I can eat more steak...this is not a problem. If you say no then there is still no problem.

This is called a win-win situation we now find ourselves in - rejoice! :grin:

Its been quite voyage since I got back in the gym in May this year. Looking back over my first workout journal reveals some intersting things...namely...

1. I eat a lot better now....quality

2. I eat a lot more....quantity

3. I eat a lot smarter now...timing, right foods, right times.

4. I can now set realistic goals now that I know how my body responds to all of the above and for what its going to receive :wink:

5. I can diet down if I need to.

6. I can bulk pretty well and relatively leanly if I need to...and I do need to :wink:

7. I am getting stronger

With that in mind and with the training stepping up a small knotch over the past few weeks...
