LiE's Diet and Training Thread

Steedies merely pointing out how weight gain (in fat / muscle form) works really...

It's practically impossible to gain that much in pure muscle

(I think)

LiE · 22 Mar 2012 at 16:33

Definitely, I'd say the gain in weight was just the increased food I'm holding onto, my body hasn't really changed in composition. I'm naturally a slow gainer who doesn't gain fat easily.

That'd be nice

Mine just fills on to my pecs and gut all the time.

Well, that's with previous foods, not been on this diet long enough to see my noticeable changes as of yet.

Hence my point.

Can't help it, I've actually cut it down, otherwise i'll just turn in to a jubbler.

When I can train again i'll add it all back in

such a bicep boy

LiE · 22 Mar 2012 at 19:29

Just goes to show how different you can look with a bit of messing around.

Looking forward to doing squats tonight, may give 20 reps ago

icecold · 23 Mar 2012 at 11:39

Do it!

You should be good for 100-120kg ish. You've really got to fight for the last reps; this is where you learn the meaning of mind over matter! Video it, you will be a mess

LiE · 23 Mar 2012 at 11:40

I was thinking 100kg to start with this week. slow reps or just smash them out?

icecold · 23 Mar 2012 at 11:45

Smash them out, it won't matter by the end.

I find it easier to get to 10 as quickly as possible, then think about 15, then think about jesus.

LiE · 23 Mar 2012 at 11:48

Cheeky!! was thinking more about the fact you could do it yourself then haha

LiE · 23 Mar 2012 at 18:32

So did 100kg x 20, wasn't too bad could have gone heavier. The interesting thing that came out of it was when I'm trying to be explosive my knees do some crazy stuff at the bottom. I think what's happening is I'm transferring the weight to a different part of the foot when I explode from the bottom. I had a little play around with this by keeping the pressure on the outside of the foot and it was fixed.

Anything you can add ice, possibly bouncing? Slower/heavier it's never occurred.

Also got a video of my RDL just to have it checked over. No I'm not checking myself out in the mirror

just watching back angle.

Steedie · 23 Mar 2012 at 19:21

I'd say you're going a bit too low on some of those reps in the RDL video

LiE · 24 Mar 2012 at 17:14

Yea a few looked a little low. Probably need to focus on sticking my butt out more.
