So yesterday I ended back at my plateau yesterday of 80KG on squats.  Before I just couldn't get past it, like in the second set it would be too difficult to complete with proper form, so the following sets would have been useless.  Decided to start again from scratch, ensuring I went lower and wearing flat soled trainers rather than my air max.  My squats have become a lot stronger and the 80KG I did yesterday without needing a spot.  Felt like a beast breaking through that barrier.

 

Do any of you guys do single leg calf raises?  I know there are there black  guys here who's calves won't grow like mine, so I'm trying these out to see if they help them grow.  A lot harder than they look and I had to drop the weight down drastically but calves were on fire after.

Bulking diet is going great atm, put on around 2/3 lbs last week

Nutrients

 

Protein - 283g

Carbs - 265g

Carbs should really be higher, around 400g (for me personally as I'm an ecto) maybe but I'm going to keep tinkering until I find the right mix, most solid diet i've been on since I started gym.

 

 

Been making my own weight gainer on the weekend:

 

150g of oats

whole milk - 400-500mls

2 whey scoop protein

Banana 

Table spoon of Honey

Table spoon of olive oil

2 Table Spoons of peanut butter

 

That shake is touching around 1266 calories, 88g Protein, 40g of fat, around 50g carbs.

Pos for posting that, it's hard for me out and about all day with no microwave.

How do you prepare your sweet potatoes

[Heero Yuy]

Microwave them the night before.

 

I don't have a microwave at work either so it gets difficult keeping things fresh but just keep looking around bodybuilding forums and the net to keep me inspired.

[The Infamous]

Pos Solid schedule kinda know what I was doing wrong now

[Heero Yuy]

[YFSD]

Boss

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Doing intermittent fasting until March at least

 

January fucked me up, went gym about twice, and done cardio about once, takeaways, loads of alcohol and fizzy, smfh

 

6 pounds I lost in December eventually all came back

 

Punishing myself for it now

[zoot]

Anyone tried starting strength 5x5? started  a couple weeks ago going well so far. Squatting 3x a week though takes some getting used to

i used to make a shake exactly like that in the morning, i've cut out the peanut butter & olive oil cos it fucked my stomach up

 

also milk used to mess with my skin (white genetics), i'm gonna start introducing it slowly and see what happens

 

i don't see the need for gloves in the gym personally, a little bit of chalk for deadlifts sometimes is all you need IMO

 

If you use gloves i don't think your grip strength increases sufficiently? 

 

 

[Nidge Weasle]

 

someone at my gym today, 13 plates on each side lol

[Bankzy]

Fuck gloves

 

Use chalk, or if your gym doesn't allow them buy liquid chalk from amazon or that climbing shop in regents street 

[The Infamous]

Been using the gloves they are fine. My gym dont allow chalk

[Thizz]

Do you man do cardio before or after weights?

[Mame Biram Diouf]

I do 10 min slow cardio warm up

 

Weights

 

5 min rest/stretch

 

15-20min hiit training

 

Doing cardio for too long after weights and you burn muscle irrc

[The Infamous]

Do cardio once a week after the weights

[Heero Yuy]

Doesn't really matter if your just on the general aim of working out, fitness etc. If that's the case I'd run first as it gets the blood pumping, loosens up muscles etc etc

[Flex]

5 mins warm up jogging prior.

 

6 x 20second hardddd sprints with anything from 10-30 second rest intervals at the end - but to be fair this is anaerobic
