I am moving along nicely. It’s a very relaxed and easy approach for me. I am trying to really push the training intensity but because of that I have been feeling it more so I am adding in an extra rest day most weeks. I even started deadlifting from the floor which I haven’t done for years and I am loving it. I have only gone up to 3pps but for my lower back that is heavy and I doubt I will push the weight much further. I also started a machine squat the other day and will be looking to progress with that over the foreseeable future. During my last pull workout I done a super set of t-bar rows with t-bar stiff leg deadlifts. I definitely need to keep a close eye on lower back loading because it has been tight the last few days and seized up one day I was walking Flex so I will take it easier this week.
My diet is pretty much chicken, rice and/or fruit 3 times daily, cottage cheese with berries once daily and for my other meal (breakfast) I usually have cereal (high protein and fibre) with blueberries and almond milk. Although today my first meal was rump steak, jasmine rice and a handful of grapes. I ran out of protein powder so I haven’t been having my usual oats in the morning but once I buy a new tub I will add it back in every day because I enjoy it. I usually add sweet chilli sauce to my chicken and soy or maggi sauce to my rice. After all my chicken (meat) meals I usually have a handful of berries. If I have no rice I will have more fruit to compensate. Cottage cheese before bed every night is the low fat version and usually with raspberries and/or blueberries. I sometimes throw in a few babybel light pre bed as well. It’s pretty much the same stuff every day and for me low fat with everything else fairly moderate but I push carbs more on certain days. Today I ate…
Rump steak, jasmine rice and purple grapes.
Chicken breast, sweet chilli sauce, jasmine rice and blueberries.
INTRA (EAA’s, 10g glutamine and 5g taurine).
Chicken breast, sweet chilli sauce, jasmine rice and 1 banana.
Chicken breast, jasmine rice and Mediterranean vegetables (courgette, red pepper, yellow pepper, cherry tomato, aubergine and red onions).
Low fat cottage cheese with raspberries.
I have been using test e recently so it’s been 300mg test e, 100mg primo e and 150mg deca twice weekly. I have added 25mg adrol and 50mg winny preworkout as well. Nolva is dosed at 20mg daily, proviron at 25mg pre workout and aromasin at 20mg twice weekly.
Training is fairly high volume but my PUSH workouts recently have usually just included 2 movements for chest and shoulders. Today I had a great workout and was rushed for time so really pushed it and added in a few drop sets to push the intensity/loading in a short time.
Warm up with Cable Laterals and Cable Front Raises.
DB Lateral Raises… 2 working sets the last being a drop set with 3 drops in weight.
Machine Shoulder Press… 2 working sets (1 loading and 1 drop off).
Low Incline DB Chest Flyes… 1 working set.
Hammer Strength Iso Lateral Chest Press… 1 working drop set with 2 drops in weight.
Close Grip Bench Press Supersetted with Machine Tri-cep Dips… 1 working set.
Incline Bench DB Skull Crushers… 1 working drop set with 2 drops in weight.
Stretches.
The new EAA’s I am using intra workout are very good and I definitely feel the added pumps from the L-Citrulline Nitrate and Amentopump etc.
