[GqArtguy]

Hi all guys! I've just register to can post

I started Olympic weightlifting 4 weeks ago. I'm from Madrid (Spain) and i train on a weightlifting club. Our coach its a national winner here. And it's sad but true, there are very few Olyers in Spain.

I'm 20, 1.82 meters and 73.5 kg. My PR are really low, i'm learning technique and my coach will try to take me to my first competition on 15th July

Nowadays, im snatching 35kgx3 (couldn't take that 40kg) and C&J 40kgx5 (we have not tryed more this week, but i think i can maybe 50kg). Well, ty for all post, they help me a lot.

BS: 70x5 (have not tryed a 1RM during this introduction to olympic lifting)
FS: 60x5 (same)

Cya!

Say hello to Lydia Valentin if you see her.

Hahahahahaahaha I just reread that and loled.
No homo. Ha.

My coaches made me back squat 5x5 yesterday and front squat this morning to a triple. I can't even move now. Brb foam roller for hours

What kind of diet do you guys have? I'm dabbling with paleo-ish to see how I feel. .

I am pretty paleo as well now. My diet is high protein/high fat and really the only carbs I eat are post workout (except I will have a cheat day on the weekend)

lots of eggs, beef, chicken, salt and vinegar almonds (OMG THESE ARE GREAT)

Only been doing this diet for about 2 weeks now though, so far so good though

I switched to primal/paleo recently and I'm loving it. I've always had problems with stubborn body fat and I think I'm naturally sensitive to insulin so lower carb/higher fat seems to really help me out. Right now I'm drinking around 3 glasses of whole milk per day, eating eggs and bacon for breakfast, pistachios and jerkies for snacks during the day, salad with chicken or steak for lunch, and then steak/chicken/pork for dinner with veggies on the side. I'm also mixing in bananas, lots of natural peanut butter straight from the jar, and supplementing with 2 protein shakes a day. I lost 4 lbs last week and I trained 5 times and played baseball 3 nights with no noticeable fatigue or anything. In fact I think I had some of my best training sessions in a while. I also work during the day and haven't had any of the so-called "3 o'clock feeling" of lethargy like I'm accustomed to.

I think those crazy Crossfit kids might be onto something.

[feces99]

being young is fun. i can snack an ok amount and not have to care about losing weight.

[fraverdenstreet]

all i eat is chicken, yogurt, tuna, milk, eggs + bacon every breakfast
some pizza the night before heavy training sessions. also a few fruit + veggie smoothie drinks i buy from the store thrown in sometimes. also sometimes salmon + zucchini dinners. im poor

All you have to do is look at the crossfit games. Even the women are exceptionally lean. All of them at that. I've been stuck at 11ish percent with a good amount of mass and want to lean down, and my coach told me to try and eliminate sugars and most carbs and I'll see single digits without "struggling" with diet. I think of myself as carb sensitive too; I'm an endo if you believe in **** types.
My carbs are all fruit. And veggies obv.
I love good fats as well. Well see how the next few weeks go.

[WHT_LIGHTNING]

yeah I eat hella veggies too, I don't count them as carbs, but I guess they technically are.

Post training I will usually have white rice and ground beef, but sometimes I "cheat" and go with a sugary drink and a shake

[chigiskov]

I'm on that dollar menu diet aka poor college student diet aka get as many calories as i can in any way possible diet.

high fat, high proton, high carbs


umad lol

[MadDogMalesh]

Oh fuark compared to all of you I need to change my diet. I used to never have this food so way back when I basically ate cheese, milk, pb from the jar, chicken, beef. That was seriously it now I eat a lot more. Im not putting on any weight(probably due to not eating enough) though I won't loose it. I should try a "lower carb" or paleo diet though damn that will be hard where I come from.

Borscht, borscht, cepelini, a ton of cepelini, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, choco(or white) cream cheese, a ton of provolone cheese, some veggies, bananas, smoked slamon, roast beef, mayo(lul, I put a little on some sandwiches and usually end up just eating what was ever left on the knife), ww bread(gtfo carbs), chicken, pork chops, lamb, and maybe a few other things I am missing. Now I understand why Im fat. I never really tried consuming less carbs for very long so maybe Ill try it out starting tomorrow(or just really limit carbs for the rest of my day) and see how it goes. PB here I come!

Sad thing is that I probably have a bunch of almonds and foods that would work great though I haven't eaten stuff like that in awhile.

I get annoyed when people at work/family and friends ask me why I avoid grains/starches for the most part and eat higher fat, because they always say "that's how you get fat." The average American is so uneducated when it comes to nutrition it's sickening.

agreed, but it's not really their fault. That is what the USDA preaches, it's such ****

[schabowy90]

^^ true. Over the past year or two I've read a lot about IFasting, iifym, body composition and stuff.

Anyways I'm reading "the paleo answer" as I'm commenting, and it gives a lot of great insight into cholesterol, weight, and insulin sensitivity etc. I haven't even gotten to the athletic performance part yet.

My biggest gripe with the whole iifym crew over at the Nutri section is they don't really care about anything but body comp. nobody digs deeper into long term effects, diseases brought out etc. discussions about processed foods take a backseat to, "sure, have a Twinkie or bennjerrys every day as long as it fits in your macros"

There's just so much more to nutrition and well being IMO.

Having a snack or two everyday hardly puts one at risk for any diseases. I think were all well beyond that realm of worry here.

True, But I think I have a bad example. I think there's more of a lack of concern for overall nutritional value of entire diets. Then again I haven't ventured to the nutrition section in a while. But hey, to each their own I guess right? Not hurting me or anyone else.
