LiE's Diet and Training Thread

wt is your weight?

ur bench is v high compared to squat and dl. My bench highest was 130x8 on a med incline, don't do squats but at the time my deadlift was 230 for 6.

prob won't do any of that now since I don't do any bench/dl/squat anymore lol.
 
My weight is about 81Kg.

So the aim was 122.5kg for 9 reps on the bench press tonight, and I JUST got it, 9th rep was a major effort. Spreadsheet says this is a 2.71% increase in 1RM over last week to now 157.5Kg. Next week should be fun where I need 127.5 for 8. I used my wrist wraps tonight and I have to say I'm not a fan so far, I think it made bench press a bit harder for me.

Followed this up with dips +25Kg x 10 x 3 and some light db incline press 30 x 10 x 3.

15 minutes of hamstring/shoulder stretches and I'm done.

going by weight to strength ratio that's v strong on bench. At this rate if all is right with improving the rest of the lifts as well i'd say it would be wise to look into training for some strength/power comps.
 
Thanks, I just need to bring up the squat and deadlift a bit more and I'll be a happy bunny.

Having a look generally at some numbers that lifters my weight are pushing I'd say my squat is the weakest area which makes sense - I neglected my legs for many years. I'd like to hit 600 total for bench/deadlift/squat this year, maybe more.
 
Thinking about swapping out my pink porridge for some fried fatty meaty foods :p

It's massively lower in carbs, but much higher in fats and protein.

I tried having a fatty low carb breakfast for some time. Wasn't much good for me. I always have oats soaked in ff milk and 3 boiled eggs for breakfast. Best combination I have found personally.
 
My emails are playing up, here is what I'm trying to respond with:
I actually don't know about head positioning, I shall enquire! A problem you might have is refs deciding that your head being up is an instant no lift, even if the rules state differently. Beware of American federations when trying to tease out the rules from powerlifting vids, although the actual written rules are all basically the same the interpretations are often very weird and obviously wrong (the definition of "parallel" in some feds is an obvious example)

tbh im a firm believer that body needs change always... to many people stick to the same repetative diet, body can build up allergens v easily to this, easier then you would think such as brown rice, this can lead to intollerance's, mild IBS etc...

Even though what you've listed isn't the best source of nutrition it's change and change is good now and then.

Not much good as in? Didn't see gains much or general fillingness?

Mainly I felt lethargic and hungry after about a hour. I find just shovelling in a good amount of everything is best and oats are nice and bulky. Some weeks I will have scrambled egg with a pilchard instead of boiled eggs. Thats my version of mixing it up ;)
