Diet:
7:30am
4oz ground beef + small handful brocoli + 3 table spoon natural peanut butter

10:00am
8oz egg whites + half green pepper + small handful peanuts & 1 tbl spoon Nat peanut butter

1:00pm
4 oz ground chicken + 1/3 cucumber + 1tbl spoon olive oil + 2 apples

4:00pm (Gym)
25g whey protein in water + 60g gatorade in water

5:45pm
25g whey protein in water + 2 nutrigrain bars (60g carbs)

9:00pm
4oz ground beef + half cucumber + 60g brown rice + small handful of nuts

10:30pm
45g casein protein in water + 45g brown rice + 1 tbl spoon olive oil

The first week I'm supposed to do sets and stop at 4 reps short of failure. Maybe it's me but it's hard to gauge when you're 4 reps short of failure... Also, think I overestimated my bench.


In. Interested to see how you go.
Thanks for the support, always appreciated!

Diet:
I fcked up royally yesterday. Instead of doing 45g and 60g of carbs I did 45g and 60g of rice haha. No wonder I was so hungry. I fixed my sizes going forward.

I hate good mornings. It just feels really awkward, I don't think I'm flexible enough. I'll ask my coach to replace it with Stiff-Leg Deadlifts instead.

Funny:
I thought I was gonna save some time by pre-mixing my protein shake at work. OF COURSE, it spilled all over my bag. I go to the gym my shoes are soaking wet, my t-shirt look like I pissed all over it, my bag is dripping a shady white liquid, and I smell like a 10 year old protein shaker. I quickly dried my shirt under the hand-dryer and worked out with no shoes or belt.

I guess this was a sign, because I got home to my new gym bag!:

4:00pm (Gym)

5:45pm
25g whey protein in water + 2 nutrigrain bars (60g workout carbs)

Hurt my right shoulder trying to do these pullups.... Tried to do it as per the instructional but I'm nowhere near that flexible. I have to use a reduced range of motion and getting my chin across the bar is impossible. The strength is not a problem, but I couldn't even do one with the full range of motion expected. I typically use a neutral grip, not overhand.

Great workout. I was scared because of my shoulder yesterday but it went well. I kept everything very slow and controlled to make sure. I slightly reduced the ROM on the OH Press at the bottom to make sure I don't hurt the shoulder.

I'm just getting into foam rolling. I will just gradually add it to my routine. I used to hate it cause it's time consuming and boring but I realize it might be beneficial in the long term...

Everything felt good. Right shoulder a bit sore from all the work yesterday and today but it's totally fine as soon as I leave the gym.

GREAT news, begged my coach for more deadlifts, he switched me to sumo instead of deficit and allowed me to increase the weights. AND it's tomorrow, I'm so fcking pumped now. Said I should aim for 4-6 reps.

That last deadlift rep was the ugliest rep in Canada's history. I think I only sumo'd once in 2015, I'm really happy to start working on it again.

Also, I'm doing all my reps from dead stop now. I used to do some touch and go a little bit, sometimes...

Skipped Saturday. I can't even remember the last day I skipped a workout. I never skip a day. Barely slept all week-end. I've been day drinking too. I was half drunk walking into the gym. Never yanked on a bar so hard in my life. I almost passed out after the pull. Pete Rubbish style. I got it 3/4 of the way up. It was so fucking close to lock-out. I was pissed off walking in. Really thought I had that 520 in me.
