Mind over Macros

[steak]

Today was a bit of catch up. Some humans got in the way of my training.

Damn humans! You and I are OK but sheesh! the rest of em are a bit of a worry

12x120

12x160

8x200

5x220 :twisted: - dropped the 6th - and then it happened....the manager came over and into my cloud of chalk dust and told me the rack wasnt designed for heavy use like I have been giving it and then we entered into a polite to and fro about how/what with/ and when he was going to accomodate my needs - he was in fact quite right as the catch bar is supported by 3 bolts aside and yes dropping 220kg on it could shear the bolts and then no member would have a rack to work with . Its rated at 150kg. We found a solution pretty quickly though and as the chalk settled I finished off with

7x200

18x160

and repped out a sweaty puffy set of only she above knows how many reps on 120kg.

Med Grip Press Downs supersetted with dips on the lat pulldown machine

4 sets of 150lb pressdowns and 100kg dips - no rest to speak of except dodging the boardies, singlets and cellphone boys in between machines :twisted:

Have had to force down the food for some reason...just dont feel hungry as of the last 2 days which is odd for me but am stcking to it although running at about 5000 cals today. Dont know why, but I cant bear to eat chicken breasts or tuna at the mo but my passionate taste affair with red meat is alive and well and Im surviving on that 8) Some carbs too just seem to be repulsive as well ..like brown rice...having a break from it...if you love something set it free blah blah blah..

weight still hovering around 125kg seems to be up one day and down the next...not caring as long as strength keeps climbing 8)

[teamfatboy]

How's the cattle-rustling going, Cap'n?

At least, that'd be the only way I could afford that much beef !

Of course, chicken-rustling would be easier, but after word got out from the Sewer that beef is the one and only true food source (overlooking the seafood industry, naturally!), I dare not mention such fowl words!

[steak]

Your a F*kin eating Machine bro. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Would be scared to look at ur grocery bill though.

its gets up there about once a month fore the bulk buy then we tend run it all out over the month

got to but buy meat/chooks once a week sometimes more but Ive got a good butcher just down the road and the $ and quality is pretty good and we do get a discount. He ages the rump for us so its tender as and easy to eat and even the topside can be bahed up so its not too much of a chew but the best of all is the aged angus...$13 for 750gs today and its Steak of Origin stuff too \:D/ melts in ya mouth! Have eased up on chook breasts and replaced with a bit more tuna but i cant handle tuna for too long and it will be back to breasts. carbs are cheap and im diggin spuds at the mo...med size nadines...like lollies
