LiE's Diet and Training Thread

Back on my normal diet this week, looking forward to getting back into proper training after a week break - excluding Saturday's training :p

Strained my neck doing the dragon flags I think, it's been a bit stiff but nothing problematic.
 
new PB tonight! Managed to a 240Kg pull on the deadlift. It wasn't the prettiest lift I'll be honest. I could have definitely done myself some favours and not done 230Kg before (my old PB). It does give me a good idea of my current strength and also shows where my form is breaking. I'll post a video up later when Syla5 sends me it.

Deads
80x6, 110x5, 140x3, 170x3, 200x1, 230x1, 240x1

Bench Press - Light/Explosive
bar, 60x8, 90x8, 90x8, 90x10

Dips - Volume
20, 20, 20

Not terrible at all mate, granted you could tweak a few things, but I bet if you was fresh and hadn't just done 230KG before it would be a different lift :p

I'd argue you could have got a bit more as well :) Didn't seem to struggle that much at all
 
Yeah timing makes a difference. We were going 1 for 1 on sat morning. I hit 230 then other bloke didn't want to lift it so we stuck 240 on and I went straight away. Should have taken a minute but meh lol.

Shoulder press machine behind! Make space somewhere else :p

Thanks FF. To be fair I do have it good. I work from home 4 days a week and on these days I train. It means I can nail my diet and get plenty of sleep.

Aye it does help...Luckily where I work I can eat pretty much whenever within reason, and the gym is a 30 second walk away :p All it needs now is a power cage and a cable machine :p

It's not big enough for that though
 
I've spent the last few weeks playing around with what weight to use for my bench press triples. Tonight I settled on 130-135 in favour of 140, which I'll work towards. I have to take into account that I'm bench press twice a week now.

Syla5 - forgot to say, that guy you were spotting on the other bench was doing some epic bouncing on his bench press.

Really pleased with my squats tonight, did a nice 170 triple at the end which Syla5 informed me looked tidy.

Leg Press

Did a quick set of leg extensions until failure, for extra deep burn.

Finished off with some leg stretches.
