How are you liking the 5x5? Are you including linear progression?

[Ronin]

Seems ok so far, but early days yet. As for progression.... ummm, I just plugged my numbers into the spreadsheet and it told me what to lift :pfft:

OHP

4 x 5, top set 45kg

Dead

4 x 5, top set 137.5kg

Calf Raise

3 x 8 x 247kg

I think that could be a PB on the OHP, although there was a bit of leg to get the first rep going, and a lot of back arching in the last rep. But it made it up and then back down safely :pfft:

Got wicked bad lower back pain tonight, and a weird kinda pain in my right glute. It's happened before though, and it went away by itself, so I'm not too worried.

More cardio tomorrow *sigh*

Weighted situps

Might sit on that weight for a bit on Rows, form was attrocious by the end of it. Each rep started just above parallel, but ended somewhere around 45 degrees.

Hypers felt heaps better, I think last time the problem was due to body position. I was further back today, so using more back arch rather than bending at the waist, if that makes sense (it does to me, so meh).

Cardio tomorrow, woohoo (*who said that?*) :shock:

Decided to try some single deads after the sets, aiming to try for a new best as often as possible. So had a crack at 160, which I've done before, but couldn't even get it off the floor, second attempt made it about an inch and that was it. Felt like I should've been able to get it, ie didn't feel like a lack of strength, I suspect it's more to do with technique, or lack of.

Hey Ronin, are you getting sick of Bacon & Eggs yet? :grin:

[Ronin]

You wash your mouth out

Have to admit though, that I do tend to look forward to Sunday, for the variety it allows me

[startinfromscratch]

loss of strength on deads etc (all round) was the worst part of keto, though maybe i wasnt doing it optimally. but came back pretty quick.

you should throw in the odd high cal keto day, just to experiment?

youve been on strict-ass dieting for awhile now, must be due some pics?

[Ronin]

must be due some pics?

Perv :pfft: :pfft:

Actually, I stacked on a bit during that nutrition study I was in, and am working on taking that back off. So I'm not sure that pics are a good idea yet. I might take some, and if there's nothing tooooo embarrassing...we'll see.

Generally I don't think strength has suffered too much as a result of diet. But then, I could be wrong. Guess if I suddenly take off once I come off keto, we'll know I'm wrong

Ummmm what is umm boob?? :shock:

I've thought about it for 5 whole minutes so I don't post sumink blonde but I can't come up with anything other than boobies. Please explain...

[Phedder]

I'm thinking chicken breast? Good work Ronin, go hard on those bacon and eggs . Your journal inspired me to buy some actually, gone through half a kg of bacon and a dozen eggs since yesterday morning. Had been far too long since I'd had them.

[Peachy]

I'm thinking chicken breast?

Lol of course!! f*ck I was hoping not to look dumb :doh:

[Ronin]

Yup, boob = chicken tit (err, breast :shifty: )

Onya Phedd, I'm knocking back 10-12 eggs per day at the mo. Off to countdown tomorrow, $5.49 per tray of size 6, gonna stock up on a few weeks worth

Also, belt and straps arrived today, can't wait to try them out next week.

[Ronin]

No trainy-trainy today. Kids :pfft: .

Today's eats were brought to you by the letters O and M, and by the number G.

Carb day was elevated to the status of carb-fest. It kicked off with a nice big bowl of oats, sultanas and whole milk, and didn't stop. Since then, I've been eating almost constantly, whole grain toast with banana, fruit, fruit, fruit, Hoki & herbed potatoes, creamed rice, spicy fruit muffin splits ( :grin: ). And I've been wandering around all day, feeling like I'm stoned...light-headed like there's a real buzz going on.

So not only have I OD'd on carbs, but I've gone well over maintenance for a non-training day. Safe to say the glycogen tanks will be well topped up for tomorrow.

Oh, and I'll be rounding out the night with a bag of M&M crispies and a movie. Gotta be done

[morattigirl]

OD'd on carbs

That's a new one :pfft: :pfft:
