Shrimp Becoming a Lobster

Take out all dairy from my diet, increase protein to 30gr per meal. Bought everything today and the game is on! HOOOOOOT …

Why I do sprints…

Leg development, I want a hammie that is razor sharp! Kick ass delts and abs on the sides… yummmyness

Lookin’ good!

I dropped dairy from my diet and it made a huge difference in my tummy. Now I only use Silk coconut milk in my protein shakes. No more bloating.

I agree with the dairy, it also makes me very bloated. Yummm coconut milk or even water sound ymmy in protein shakes! But ther is a catch, coach has me currently not taking any suppliments :confused: I take BCAA and GLutamine and vitamins but thats all I get to take. He wants me to eat food, and to get 30gr of protein in every meal…I’LL be honest, im struggling a bit. But putting together a menu that I will start following around/during the weekend :slight_smile:

5 minutes cool down on a treadmill

I was pressed for time since I was going out to dinner with some friends :slight_smile: Can you say Lobster Pizza? Damn I am making the most of these days leading up to the diet starting this weekend !

today is shoulders :slight_smile:

at 1 minute in this vide you can see bear crawl variations, i do mine pushing a plate :slight_smile:

shoulder training = Pulled a muscle (trapezeus)… enough said… :frowning: boo
borrowed a cooling spray, sprayed the heck out of it, but no resaults, training was little to none, since I pulled it in my 4th set of shoulder press and the first heavy one when I was cleaning the bar up. Well tomorrow I got ass training, so resting and cooling it tonight and this weekend. Monday is the start of a diet thats at 1500cals, seeing how that works and just go from there :slight_smile:

the truth always appears very simple

So sorry to hear this. Hope you recover quickly.

Could be levator rather than trap. That’s the one that tends to go for me and it’s painful for a day or two then goes away. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks for the bear crawl vid. I have my kids do those (I’m a PE teacher - I don’t have children of my own) and it’s nice to see some different ways of doing them. I tried to get them doing bear crawls while pushing a ball but they couldn’t really handle it. I think the ball is too light.

Those are some mighty impressive numbers! I’ll be following this thread!

Why did you leave powerlifting? At your body weight, a 220-lb. bench would probably have won a national title in my federation. I can’t imagine walking away from a sport in which I had so much talent.

Yeah could be, i still feel it in my neck, didnt train yesterday nor this weekend but today I will head back in since I started the diet and since im going nuts with out going. Plus I once heard that “You must training!” I think it was Zydrunas Savickas that said that… And I have a rule, always listen to people bigger than you!

Im also a PE teacher, I had never thought about having bearcrawls in my class, Ive done loads of tabata conditioning stuff for the older ones but that gives me a whole new idea :slight_smile: thank you! But your right a ball is prob too light, maybe a sack of sand, if its hard wood floor… hummm…

Well the reason I left powerflifting (at least for a little while, never say never!) was that I tore a ligament in my knee, beeing raised with the mentality "if your body aint hurting, your not training hard enough! I ignored it wraped my kneeses and kept lifting as heavy as I could for a few weeks. Then it became unberable and it resaulted in cartalige damage, crooked patella that holds on to every drop of liquid it can! wooo hoo… so 1 year of therapy over took my life. Well then I guess I could have kept on doing bench only but what is powerlifting with out squats and dl? im not sure I could do it (well I could, but not sure i want to though) but I will see. I havent totally abandoned the world of powerlifting, I still love it, and Im sure one day I will do it again :slight_smile:

I did get some titles, and records under my belt both in my country and internationally for Jr. and open class, but my 1st year in the open class I busted my knee (2010) During highland games, so at least the exit was a fun one!
