LiE's Diet and Training Thread

Too true. Used to have a regular training partner who was roughly your weight and he was benching less than me, squatting roughly the same and deadlifting far more. Stopped training with him 3 years ago and my squat and deadlift haven't moved since and my bench has only increased by a few Kg.

I'm happy lifting on my own but you always put that little bit more effort in when you're training with someone or have targets to beat and your bench is a target I want to stay ahead of even if it is only a rep :)

A little bit of me hates you after seeing that LiE :).

Very impressive, I was thinking I might try out the dipping station at my gym but I remember having disagreements with it in the past, I'll just save them for gymnastics and do a tonne of body weight ones :).
 
Tought session tonight, bit of grind due to doing 4 consecutive days.

Managed 10 reps at 155kg for my squat, with 1 left in the tank. Very pleased. I didn't use the belt again because I find it distracting during longer sets.

Squat 531
WU - 67.5x5, 85x5, 102.5x3
WS - 120x3, 137.5x3, 155x10

Goblet squats
25x10x3

RDL
80x10x3

Calf Raises
40x20x4

I decided to try some goblet squats. I knew full well that I don't currently have the ability to do full ROM without my form breaking, and that's exactly why I did it. I wanted to capture my sticking points when doing this particular exercise so I can start working on them.

I did it light and tried to drop between my legs instead of going further out. Some reps look better than others but quite a few I'm losing the lower back. Not sure if it's my ankle flexibility but I do find it hard getting down in between my hips if you know what I mean.

Anyway, dom/ice I'd appreciate some feedback on things I can work on. It's my new project :) I want to do these properly then I'll start increasing the weight.

 
Not sure on the foot, it shouldn't be. My hamstrings are pretty damn tight, which I'm working on.
 
My right foot turns out more without me realising sometimes, even just standing.

Just take note every so often when you stand, you'll soon notice :)
 
Yep, small amount of PC tightness (causing the bit of wink), including external rotators which is one of the things that makes getting both feet straight an issue. In stretching you external rotators you'll be able to find out if there is any difference between sides.

That looks really nice, main things to improve are better ass to ankle relationship, feet straight while keeping knees out and get rid of that little bit of wink. Very nice none the less :).
 
I find it feels like my right shin is almost twisted more...possibly heading up to the knee...So it could be glute related or am I in the wrong area? :p ie thigh / hip?
 
Been so drained over the past few days. I don't think it was a good idea to do 4 days in a row on 531.

I feel ya dude, I didn't make the 4th day in a row but still nuked! 550 miles driving, 2 weddings after 3 days training is pretty meh!

Roll on next week, back day on Monday as missed it m Friday.

Is DW open Monday?
 
Enjoyed my shoulders tonight, felt good.

531 Military Press
WU - 30x5, 35x5, 42.5x3
WS - 55x5, 60x3, 67.5x9
BBB - 42.5x10 x5

Facepulls
20x10 x5

20 minutes stretching.

Pleased with my military press progress this cycle. I changed my form completely which at first dropped my power, but it's coming up again nicely.

187.5 deadlifts tomorrow, it will be beastly!
 
Dropped the 500ml of milk from my diet.
The only dairy I have no is 3 scoops of whey on training days, 2 on non.
