Steigs - Training Log

Got the results from my recent intolerance test today. Learned that I am intolerant to the following:

Eggs (both whites and yolks)
Milk (cow, goat and sheep)
Pretty much every nut
Soya bean
Rice
Wheat
Yeast
Peas
Corn
Casein
Barley
Broad bean
Cabbage
Cola nut
Salmon
Trout
Haddock
Potato
Spelt
Cod
Sea bream
Tuna
Lentils
Durum wheat
Couscous

Of all the things that the test has ruled out of my diet, I am most upset at losing peanut butter.

But, seriously, my diet is about to get depressingly restricted.

Hows it going man?

Hey - all going well thanks. Been hammering away at it, but haven’t remembered to keep posting the sessions. Weight is sitting around the 94kg mark, which I know is around 9% for me (give or take).

This week I’m testing my 5RM before I focus in on strength work for the next 12 weeks.

Hopefully I can keep chipping at the bf (or, at the very least, keep it where it is).

How’re things with you?

5RM testing session

Bench - worked up to 5 reps at 102.5kg

Trap Bar Deads - worked up to 5 reps at 160kg

Sounds like you’ve got it under control! Im just chipping away at MMA and BJJ learning all the new techniques and getting more conditioned.

Damn that’s rough. Pb is life

What work are you doing for conditioning? Still focusing on sprint training?

Well MMA and BJJ go for 1:30 to 2hrs and that’s alot of conditioning in the sessions, also about 5hrs of sports training at school throughout the week (volleyball and aussie rules footy for my sports classes and sports coaching certificate.)

Haven’t really been sprinting lately.

25 April

5RM for back squat 145kg (got 150kg, but feel form broke down and depth wasn’t ideal)

25 April

Testing done

Bench - 5 reps at 102.5kg

Trap Bar Deads - 5 reps at 160kg

Back Squat - 5 reps at 145kg

It is clear that my deadlift is rather underpowered in comparison to the two other lifts.

The plan now is to follow a strength program for 8 weeks and then re-test.
