LiE's Diet and Training Thread

Great work!

Losing your back very slightly on the last couple, and as a result you're reclaiming stability by over extending in your set up slightly. However, it's going to be virtually impossible to correct this with such max effort lifting.
 
Cheers Tommy. Bench Press tonight, should be fun. Wednesday is normally rest day but I've decided I don't want to train on Friday, can't guarantee I'll be able to eat properly.
 
Nice one buddy :) Awesome weight!

As you say, the number of reps just gets taxing in the end as you can see (ie slight butt raise on like the last rep) but that's just because you lifted a ton :p

I'd be happy mate!
 
Cheers.
I think if my form was super tight on the last rep, it's probably not the last rep :)
 
:) You probably could have forced another one out, but you'd be rounding your back like a moron :p

It's good going mate, the progress you've done in the last year is immense
 
So here's the diet I've been toying with.

Pros
- Less diary - dropped 1 scoop whey and 500ml milk. Now only have 2 scoops whey a day.
- Variety of quality sources of carbs - sweet potato, oats, wholegrain rice.
- Additional source of protein from fish.
- Increased fibre.
- Better balanced.

Cons
- Increased quantity of food to eat.
- More likely to drop a meal due to burning out
- A lot more prep time
- Increased expense

I think I will run this diet soon after easter for a few weeks to see how it goes.

That's weird, I've got the same exact mentality, and am squeezing my training into 4 days.

mon chest/tue back/wed legs/thurs shouls, will be hitting the gym for 35 mins on Saturday though for another deadlift session, then back to normal routine on Monday.

Yea I have this thing that if I don't eat properly that my time in the gym is wasted, to the point where I won't train on a day where I can't eat properly.

OCD :p

I'd imagine a lot of that is in your head though? I've had days where I've eaten a good 1k cals less than normal before training and have seen no adverse affects in performance.
 
I guess it doesn't matter as much now that I'm doing strength, but when I was training for size it was important.
 
Interesting session tonight :)
Was hoping for 10 reps but got 9. Not far off 10 so I'm happy.
Moved on to do some heavy dips, and decided to go for BW dipping action!

85kg chest dips for 2 reps. The internal rotation shoulder stretching has really been helping.
Boss mode.

Bench Press 5/3/1
WU - 55x5, 67.5x5, 80x3
WS - 95x5, 107.5x5, 122.5x9

Dips
BWx8, 50x6, 60x6, 70x5, 85x2

CGBP
80x8, 100x7, 110x4

20 minutes stretching chest/shoulders/hamstrings/quads

Epic LiE.

Thanks.
He was sharing the equipment with me also doing dips. He did BW dips pretty easily so I said he should add some weight. He agreed and I lent him my belt. I must have made the weight look easy because he decided to jump straight in at 50kg and failed horribly after 3 attempts. He then understood.

It's more than my bodyweight too by a few kilo :) it's actually a personal best.

Strong dips!

Thanks. I love dips, such a powerful upper body movement.
 
Damn you PK I knew you'd be along to snub my bench ;)
I'll be happy if I nail 8 @ 127.5kg next week!
 
Not at all, the difference in our BW compared to the difference in our bench is massively in your favour. I'm reasonably strong for my size, you're far stronger for yours :)
