Back In Black - I'm Just Makin' My Play

[Back In Black]

Not too often. That would also discolor teeth.

I have British teeth mate, they arene pearly white as it is

Kit, thanks for that, I normally gargle salt water. My last one was viral and I had a fever and required antibiotics. This one isn't as bad. It's shopping day today I'll look for some Benadryl. Do you know the relative ingredient, I suspect the make up of Benadryl is slightly different over here.

Back, wasn't it? Or tits if you like but I'm planning on back.

Overhead pressing is my weakest move by a long way. I kinda blame that and genetics for the inability to put any size on my delts. I've just changed my routine and don't intend to rely heavily on pressing for building size so I'm hoping there'll be changes.

[Capebuffalo]

If you do legs tomorrow we have gotten on the same schedule.

[austinite]

ugh. I need a "Favorite day". I hate them all -- If I had to choose I'd say chest. Wish that bastard would stay pumped like that.

I'm having a switch around so legs is tomorrow it's all Milky's fault, we're gonna beat each others backs up on Saturday so mine gets trained twice this week.

That's it mate, love what you do

I have moments like this, sometimes they last months were its all a chore and then I love it again and world is alright.

Correct 'supplementation' helps, of course

It's bad enough I'll get to see his sex face when he's doing forced reps I really don't him playing dress up too

[Back In Black]

Thursday is normal weigh in day for me so I did. 188lbs, that's up 6.75lbs in the 2 weeks since my pics were taken.

Trained legs today, felt nauseous during the middle point of the workout but had a great session.

So, this weekend is Easter. My Mrs wants to make it a family (her, our 2 year old and me) for it to be like Christmas. Fun, games, chilling out and nice food. My Mrs doesn't have an ounce of willpower when it comes to food and she hated the fact that I do. If be happy just eating my Easter lunch in Sunday and some chocolate as a cheat meal. She's gonna want to eat 'nice' stuff all weekend. I told her she can but not to get upset if I don't, I don't mind her eating it in front of me it really isn't a problem. But it makes her feel better if I join in. I don't intend to. This could be an interesting weekend!!!!

Sitting, waiting, itching to get to the gym. Can't go until my Mrs gets her arse out of bed to look after the little one. Grrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!

She just got up. That's kinda Fvcked my chest session. If I'm lucky I'll get it in later but I doubt it.

I may have to just do a 100rep set of pressups later

Ouch!
I normally do press ups to finish of to ensure complete failure
Or sometimes I do kettle ball flys on an exercise ball

[Back In Black]

So I never got my workout. But Milky has chickened out in our back day tomorrow so I will do chest then instead.

Spent this afternoon at a kids party with my little girl refusing all temptation. Fir Any Cricket fans out there I'd just like to say the England spinner Graeme Swan was in attendance at the party.

Beef taco's for dinner

Tell Milkey your going for ice cream then a pint. Drive fast so he can't jump out till your at the gym. Works every time.

Ha ha, his weakness is Haribo jelly sweets. I need to promise him a trip the sweet shop. And now I know how to nobble him for this comp should I need to

Chest day. I normally train first in the week (cliche I know). And I've had 2 terrible nights sleep. So I trudge to the gym expecting a really shitty workout. But, I've had too much enforced time off recently through surgery and illness. I tell myself how embarrassing my pre comp photo's were. How easy it is to take the easy route like 99% of the population. That I'm not getting any younger and that this is the time I need to recapture, and better, my best days.

I tell myself all if this before and during every set. I thrashed every rep, set and weight that I did last week. I destroyed myself. Straight sets, rest pause, less rest.

It train 4 on 3 off. I doubt I could train like that 4 days in a row but I have no excuse to not try it and find out. Starting Tuesday with delts

Train hard kids

training is the fun part man!

So is eating when bulking

Had a cheat meal last night, macro's were a bit shot yesterday but cals only about 300 over normal.

Chest is sore this morning and I had another terrible nights sleep. I'm feeling like a particularly grumpy fvcker today!

[Back In Black]

I'm definitely getting bigger. Particularly the medial head on my right delt. I'm hoping its just a build up of test rather than anything sinister!

Easter Sunday went tits up in terms of diet. Good job I'm bulking

BIB, are you having a separate thread in the nutrition section? cos when i read this thread, i am most interested in your diet, but there isn't much mentioned here.

Thanks for reading AD

I'm keeping everything here mate. I quoted my cals and macro breakdown in post 1. That's been the same for the first 2 weeks. My additional 100cals will be from protein which will change the macro's slightly (obvious I know )

I didn't post up a typical days eating though so I'll share that

Pre workout
Shake consisting if oats, WPI and cottage cheese. I also take my fish oil, vit D3 and multivitamin here

P/C/F
48/58/10

Immediately Post workout
WPI

50/1/0.6

Meal 3
White fish with green veg
Bran flakes with skim milk

55/70/7

Meal 4
Chicken, green veg, rice/potatoes/bread

50/58/9

Meal 5
Tuna with low fat mayo and ketchup
Red/yellow bell pepper
Potato farls with raspberry jam

43/63/10.5

Meal 6
95.5/4.5 minced beef, a tomato based sauce, rice/pasta

51/48/12

That's very typical. It's much easier to stick to the plan if I stick to the same foods. My food choices wouldn't be any different if I was cutting . If I wanted to be below 10% I would probably drop a few things and make 'cleaner' choices.

Is that what you wanted AD?

[AD]

^^ YES, perfect. thanks for the free lesson! lol
i was thinking who else better to learn this from.. you, on a cycle, preparing for a comp.... perfect!

as much details and explanation as you can! thanks again...

1. Irish potato griddle bread (potatoes, butter & flour) I toast mine and have a scraping of jam(preserve) on.

2. Yep, it's a cheap ass version if seafood sauce and makes tinned tuna more palatable.

3. Did I miss something? Confused!

that sounds good!

seafood sauce, add some pickle relish to it and some cajun spices to jazz it up some!

Is 300g protein a day for your bulk/cycle only or do you eat that much as a routine?

seafood sauce? like cocktail sauce? (ketchup, horseradish)

3. Did I miss something? Confused!

im a little late but apparently ur mrs slept in and made u miss ur chest day! i wouldve woken mine up!

[Back In Black]

I normally take about 250g give or take. I'd rather take my protein up rather than carbs at this stage in an attempt to play with macro's to keep my fat gain minimal at most. But u suspect I'll max it at 300-325g and then play with carbs.
