LiE's Log Part 2

[Steedie]

Do you even holiday?

 

[LiE]

The weight drop will be water. I eat a fair amount, just not enough to gain fat or loose muscle. My body fortunately likes to sit around 82-83kg without much effort.

 

[Djdom56]

You are a mythical beast LiE. Man should not be able to keep his weight so constant

 

[mrthingyx]

Nope. He's just a machine.

Welcome back, LiE.

 

[LiE]

83kg before holiday, 82.6kg this morning.

 

[mrthingyx]

83kg before holiday, 82.6kg this morning.

That's just weird, however.

 

[Begbie]

83kg before holiday, 82.6kg this morning.

Impressive, I'm expecting to come back about 10kgs heavier

 

[BennyC]

Holiday, you're doing it wrong.

 

[LiE]

I think breakfast and dinner were certainly up there, but I was always busy for lunch so ended up eating mediocre portions. I did try to make up for it with dinner; 3 course meal + extra desert followed by the buffet. Breakfast was normally a big omelette with bacon cheese and mushrooms followed by 2-3 danish pastries and some OJ. Maybe because I don't really drink it keeps my weight in check better.

Looking at your bench videos..........................................................................

Awesome lifting!

 

[MoNkeE]

Looking forward to Part 3

 

[LiE]

Thanks Rei

Monkee, sooner than you think! Some tasty training come up ala icecold.

 

[LiE]

Ordered chains as it's my birthday at the end of the month, incoming extra grunts.

Back to heavy training today and was looking forward to see how my strength has held up after 2 weeks. Not surprisingly strength is still there, just a little down until I build back up.

LiE's log part III "The Road to Nationals"?

 

[LiE]

Good god tonight was much harder than it should have been. I was planning to train legs tomorrow but I was working from home today so it was better to do it today. Anyway, definitely not recovered from yesterday!

Squats (no mirror)
BARxlotsx2
70x10
90x7
100x7
120x5
150x5 - looking at the video of my form it's not bad but not as good as it could be. Looks like I'm struggling to 'feel' depth so going a little lower which makes it harder for me.
160x6
160x5 - more time needed to squat better without a mirror. Surprising the difference it makes.

I was completely gassed after squats. Only legs I've done in 2 weeks were light goblet squats so it was a shock to the body.

DBSS
BWx10/10 x2 - stuck to BW to stop myself from passing out

OHP
BARx8x2
40x6 - these feel so much easier not doing them straight after a chest/triceps session.
50x5 - easy
60x5 - comfy
70x5 - grunting, possibly some kind of PB?

2 days recovery now, I certainly need it.

Good thing you went for shirtless, as I suspect you'd have hulk-ripped it with that back workout!
