Ty, but why the hell are we still awake?

[olibeast]

duno, i was ready to sleep hrs ago. but i have to get all my meals in. never ending cycle.

[.Alex]

Just eat more kcals in teh day.

I've been up most of tonight talking to this girl.

I'm at like 10st 2lb atm btw so dead on 142. Starting eating more, today was tough because of haircut, 2 hr driving lesson then gym then home and leave straight away to go see family 20 mins away so.

I could go get another 5/10g of creatine now, plus some tuna or something but I really feel like just ditching in the bed 2 feet away from me.

[olibeast]

i would eat more during the day, but i find my appetite is strongest towards the evening. im always bunching my meals up to get them in and thats half the reason i go to bed so late.


take the creatine, with the tuna, whilst in bed with that girl. nomasayin

[.Alex]

Maybe I tap her, she's my boss's friend's daughter though so. Getting on well.

Losing my ipod till thursday now Would just buy a new one but cbfa spending 100 quid.

[fitnessnewb]

go tap that der

[.Alex]

Lol maybe, she seems like a nice quiet girl anyways.

Watched the vid of Lee Priest last night and went to eat and get creatine before I slept in the end. Had a good 9 hours sleep, and got the good feeling of being sore today.

[olibeast]

hows the creatinoizds working out for you mate?

been reading up on it myself, and i would be interested in using it possibly further down the line.

how are you using it, cycling? loading phases? how much are you taking per day and when?

EDIT: jus realised your banned....................again O.o

Progressed on the squats, PR for the 3 full sets at 70kg, bench sucks as usual, deadlifts were light last WO because of having abit of a sore lower back still.

Plus still not gaining weight, even though things seem to be going up. Diet definatly needs sorting out, but it's abit of a bitch cooking all the time when it's so hot.

[olibeast]

nice squatting mate.

[TheSoldier]

your benchin isnt that bad
just be more consistent, doesnt seem like your entering too many workouts in your journal

[fitnessnewb]

good bench and good squat, keep up the good work

[.Alex]

Squat:
40kg x5
50kg x4
60kg x2
70kg x5
70kg x5
70kg/154lb x5
Mil Press:
15kg x5

Dips:

So basically, struggled to squat the same as last WO, struggled to press the same for even 1 set, struggled to progress weight on the rows for even one set.

Sucks so so much, still sorting the diet out which sucks, still not really gaining weight, even though I look abit bigger.

Creatine loading went well btw Oli, after afew days could see the difference. Not sure how it's effecting my WO's though, I don't really feel lactic acid anymore mind you. :S

[olibeast]

that kinda blows!

interesting to hear about the creatinoidz though. may have to invest in some, although i heard some where that only 2/10 people respond to it. so either thats bull**** or you are lucky lol!

[ice_man89]

head up move on to next week put that weight on again and smash it!

(woo thunder storm here!) lol

nicer weather up north compared with landan? wow...

[fitnessnewb]

yea dont go weight on progression, I think you might try to get one rep extra next time then up the weight thats usually how I do, get 2 reps extra, next time weight up, repeat, repeat

[.Alex]

Thanks for all replies guys, I know the problem is in my diet though. Not enought kcals.

Will get it sorted though, sick of weight not going up.

brah dw. at your weight, an overhead press like that is good. I believe i stalled at similar weight when i was 140.
I'll be proud if any of us gets a 3/4 OH press or a 135lb one.

[fitnessnewb]

I do 40 KG overheads and I am far heavier than u, your over head press is good tbh, keep at it.

[.Alex]

It's not that I think 35kg is light or ****ty, it's just the fact I failed on the 4th rep of the 3rd set the WO before, and last WO, I could hardly do it for one set, total fail IMO.

Tried to eat alot today but it's just not happened. Woke up at 1pm (11 hours sleep ) and worked from 4-12 so most of my day was busy. Have my driving theory test tomorrow morning so won't sleep as much, but will eat as much as I can, go for 4k kcals I think for a week, see how I go on.

And thanks for the link FN, is that site any better than fitday? Will check it out!

I think it has more foods stored in it, and it has images so you know if it is roughly the same. Yea that just sucks on the OH press but I believe it is more of an mental issue than it is a physical issue. You are scared to fail again, just lift and do your best thats all you can do hows the diet atm?

[.Alex]

Yes mate, I had a look yesterday and it seems pritty good. Will start tracking from tomorrow, had a very busy day today with my driving theory, which I passed Will post my WO from today later. Wasn't too bothered about it as I know I have to eat more.

Wasn't too bothered about how I did, as I knew I hadn't eaten enought for like a month, and will be picking it up this week.

Squat - I liked, last 2 sets were hard but yeah. Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder.. but no one wants to lift no heavy.. ass.. weight!
Bench - Wasn't bothered with, got all sets out cleanly, will progress hopefully.
Deadlift - Was ok, pushing on hard but I could have gone into physco mode and probably pulled 70kg/154lb x5 after that set, but decided to leave it.
Pull ups - +1 on last couple of WO's so proud with alittle bit of progress.

Only been awake 2 hours and sticking acouple of jacket potato's in to have with some tuna, my second meal. Got to work like 4-12 though. Cya guys later.

[fitnessnewb]
