LiE's Diet and Training Thread

Solid graft!

It might just be the angle, but it looks like your right leg is doing some crazy things there. Possibly a weakness in your glute medius and/or VMO.
 
Here's what my supplement shelf looks like currently.

I think you saw me creeping up on your bench and had to set a further gap between our lifts :p

Before you say it, let's not even get onto DL/Squat, haha!

Hope 531 goes well for ya dude, it's all about doing what you enjoy in my opinion if you're going to do it consistently. Lifting for strength is a lot more fun IMO.
 
I need to have been training for a couple mroe years before I even figure out which training method is best for me :p
 
Cheers, going to really knuckle down for the next few months. It's important to be fired up and excited about your training, and I felt the BB wasn't giving me that. I enjoy lifting big :)

Your bench is very strong no denying that. I remember last year when my bench was more than my squat lol
 
You haven't been doing it a month though have you? :p

Either way, you hardly have a physique to moan about (What I mean is, for a pure strength trainer, it's good)
 
I have never done a pure strength routine except for the 2 months of 531 I did. Before that I did a BB split but always found myself trying to push as much weight as I could with the bigger lifts.

I will continue on my current diet and do 531, will be interested to see how my body reacts.

With 531 I can also have a more balanced approached to training. It leaves me enough time to do some conditioning work and plenty of mobility and stretching. My BB program leaves me barely enough time to do my lifts.
 
Fair point :)

I find that with my routine, once I do everything, it's been an hour and I can't do any real mobility =/ May look at simplifying eventually. Got to get back in to it yet!
 
Today's workout.

WU - 30x5, 35x5, 42.5x3
WS - 47.5x5, 55x5, 60x11

Seated DB Shoulder Press
22.5x8, 27.5x8 x4

Facepulls
20x10 x5

Burpees
16,13,10

25 minutes pec/shoulder mobility/stretching.

Happy with the number on the Military press, last time I did the exercise my form was way off, but its much better now.

I added in the burpees (with pressup) for some conditioning and boy do I need it. 45 second rest between sets and went flat out. I'll be doing these hopefully 4 times a week to improve overall conditioning, I really need it.

On the DB Shoulder Press I was really focusing on keeping it very strict to help with the shoulder mobility issues. The elbows were as far back as I could hold them almost inline with my body.
