LiE's Diet and Training Thread

Hopefully yea :) I have an easy time feeling the contraction in muscles from many years of training, and the muscles being pretty well developed.
 
On the subject of diets, which kinda milk do you guys drink? I've been using skimmed for a while now (1 bowl of Bran Flakes a day) but I've read in a few places that whole doesn't really make much difference if you're trying to eat healthily. Any truth to this?

I always drink semi-skimmed when I do (a warm pint glass of this before bed)!
 
Indeed, random bouts of drink evenings aren't going to destroy progress...Won't help, but the odd evening isn't going to hurt you :p

This!

I drink once every 2/3 weeks and have no detremental affects. When I was away at a LAN for a weekend, we drank for 3 day sessions in a row. That tuesday after I set my current bench PB!
 
Really good/tough leg workout today. It was supposed to be abs and legs but I decided to hell with the abs and increased the volume on legs... let's get these wheels growing! From now on, I will aim to have all workouts at this level of intensity. I didn't have time for stretching but did add in a 5 minute cool down on the bike because my legs were rock/stiff after the workout.

Squats
60x10, 100x11(speed reps), 120x10, 120x10, 120x8(nice and slow for a good contraction)

RDL (will be going heavier next week, was still catching my breath from squats)
60x10x3 - made an effort to push the bar back with my lats, nice lat pump.

Leg press - done wide, very much like a squat mechanic, knees out etc
150x12, 180x10, 180x12, 180x12

Leg Extensions
65x10x3 leg pump was pretty mad at this point

Leg Curls
45x12, 45x10, 45x10

Calf Raises
35x20x3

Calf Presses
100x15, 100x12, 100x12

5 minute on the bike cool down.
 
I'd love to do GHR, but there's no where to do them. Anything that can be used in your average gym ?
 
Best way I've found is to load up a smith with a bench set up parallel to the bar at the right height and distance to have your knees on the bench and ankles under the bar. This also means there is finally a manly use for those foam bar pads for squatting! Can also be done on some lat pull down stations, but the seating pad is too small at my gym.
 
The way i used to do GHRs was with a plate loading seated calf raise machine. Kneel on the seat facing away and use the thigh pad to hold your ankles.
