LiE's Diet and Training Thread

I'm just starting out on 5/3/1 as well with very similar figures to yourself, apart from bench because yours is ridiculous. This is the first time I've followed any structure and I must say I'm enjoying it more because it forces me into making an effort that I otherwise wouldn't.

If anyone else wants to give it a bash try the sheet below.

Yea that's the spreadsheet I use, it's done really well.
I'm also really enjoying the program, it makes sure I focus on the big lifts and not mess around with a ton of isolation accessories exercises. I love the last set and smashing out as many reps as possible, feels so good.
 
Can Lie, or anyone else post up an example of their weekly shopping list?

I seem to spend £100+ a week and get sweet F A!

I also get 20 frozen sausages for under £2.

Going to have to hit the white flood/purple wraath tonight, I'm feeling pretty tired. No idea why, maybe I have some mild bug thing.
 
Nailed deads tonight.
Last set got 8 reps at 170kg - this gives me a calculated 1RM of 211.08Kg, which is a 2.58% increase over last week :D

Chin ups were damn hard, think I'm going to switch the volume around a bit. Managed 10, 8, 7, 5.

So will try for 4x8 next week

For DB Rows I switched to the 40kg DBs, 10 reps of each side.. nuked me. Managed 3 sets instead of the prescribed 5, which felt enough.

Thanks. The goal now is to maintain a good weight (maybe drop some fat) and ramp up the power :)
 
I know today is rest day, but I really got an itch to get back in the gym tonight for my bench day.
 
Yep :(
I've trained Mon/Tues, but if I train tonight I'll have tomorrow as a rest day. decisions!
 
Rest today and train tomorrow I reckon.

I guess it depends on what your doing the rest of the week though.
 
Yea going to rest today. Just had a quick lie down and then the tiredness kicked in.
 
The bed is so comfy, I was tricked! Wife is ill in bed so it's hard to avoid having a lie down too.
