LiE's Diet and Training Thread

I make sure I hit good macros in the day which means I don't have to worry much about what I eat for dinner. Whatever I do eat for dinner is normally meat and carbs anyway.
 
Thought I'd make a separate post about the barbell front raise I now do for shoulders. It's pretty insane how much it hits the shoulders and the burn is pretty intense. So normally you'd raise the bar up and then lower back down to complete the rep. In my case I lower the weight (15kg I use currently) and tweak the movement.

As you raise the bar image your trying to pull the barbell apart into a rear fly movement, keep this tension on as you raise the bar. Now at the top of the movement hold the bar for 2 seconds while also putting maximum effort into trying to pull the bar apart. Slowly lower it back down and relax before doing the next rep.

Feel the deep burn!

My weekly shopping budget is £80 for myself and my wife. My meals probably cost about £20 a week.

I'm going to be working before I start uni again, so hopefully I'll be able to spend £20 a week, seeing as I'll cut down on drinking. :)
 
£20 will cover the food part (listed in the shopping list part of the spreadsheet), you'll need to factor in supplements too if you want to go down that route. If you don't have someone you eat with each night then you'll also need to think about what to eat for dinner each evening. If it was me I'd probably eat steak with a ton of veg and a little rice.
 
I probably just need to man up, but i find drinking plain water quite hard, i can do it if needed but i find especially tap water has a rather metallic taste to it when drinking which stays for a while.

Although i do like iceland's flavoured water, suppose it's not bad @ 2 litres for a quid

Depends where you are maybe. I know the water at home has a different taste to at uni, although neither are unpleasant so i can drink it fine. Man up :)

:D

If i'm working i have to take water from home, since the water sources i can access at work are cleared for washing (dishes, pots , trays) etc but not drinking water.

So i end up drinking metal water or soft drinks at work.

Not a fan of your dinners and your supplement intake... but will be reading with interest nonetheless. :)

:p whey is essential for me because there is no way I could replace it with actual food and manage to eat it all. The supplements I take around gym time I like to take simply because I am of the mind that I want to make sure my body has everything at it's disposal during my training time to maximize any gains.

The pre-workout stuff I will be coming off soon and going caffeine free for several weeks.
 
Oh I completely understand, I'm just saying it's not a route I could follow :)

Your dinners are what I'd eat for a treat - so jel++ that you can eat that and look as lean as you are! :(
 
I was going to ask this via email though I will just ask it here or the other thread if prefered:

Does any of your pre-workout stuff have Creatine in it? I ask because I am currently taking Jack3d which does, I notice Recovery XS also does....surely a bit too much creatine to take both?
 
No creatine in my pre-workout supplements, I actually add 2g of creatine to white flood to give a bit more creatine. I think 5g is about right so you need to look at how much is in jack3d, I think recovery xs has about 3g.
 
Time for a good stretch before a hardcore thurs/fri workout then chill out for xmas.
