Something seems to always happen when I try to video the sets of 5 - camera wasn't on video mode I took a blurry photo of my knee. Gonna try 185 on Friday, hope I don't **** up the vid.

Yes, but if you do this you'll be bloated, loose, flimsy as opposed to my thinksolidtight shredded.

Really

Bloated: yes

Flimsy: not likely, I'm going to set some epic all time PRs. You see, by working on my muscles, I'm relaxing my mind . . .

Clearly you need to pump iron...

Chest session today. Managed 3x10x40kg with the 20kg+bar dumbbells (they're all loose weights) I'm still only counting it as 40kg mind.

Incline Bench went reasonably well, still a bit confuzzeld as to why it's practically the same as my CGBP, but never mind.

Say what?

 

[Deception]

Emailed Ice.. Although I've just confused myself after it!

 

[Delvis]

Say what?

I figured my incline BB bench press would be a fair bit more than my CGBP. Granted I've not been doing BB bench for a while, but still.

 

[wedgie]

Surely incline shouldn't be too far off from your flat bench total? Any chance you mean decline?

No no, incline. I don't do Flat BB, it breaks my shoulder.

 

[wedgie]

I'm with you in being confuzzeld then.

 

[Delvis]

My bench has always been ridiculously week, primarily due to a knackered shoulder. I'll give it a few months and see how things pan out.

I'm gonna beat 'im!

Damn had a awesome leg day today, really pushed it as hard as I could and got 60kg on the squats for my first try. Legs really feel like jelly now.

Thanks for all the advice guys, I have fixed up my diet so could you please just make sure I'm doing okay.

Breakfast - Oatmeal, 2 scrambled egg whites, pint of water
Snack - protein shake
Lunch - chicken breast (125g), whole wheat pasta (150g) , grilled veg, pint of water
After gym - Whey protein shake + Banana (Have read a fast acting carb is good after the gym)
Snack - 50g tuna salad, Fat free yogurt (I have read low fat dairy is good for weight lost)
Dinner - Grilled salmon (125g), sweet potato (150g), pint of water

All this adds up to 1310 Calories, and 41% protein, 40% crabs, 15% fat, which I think is a lot better then before.

Really trying to keep out anything with sugar and trying to keep the carbs as low as I can.

Ah ok I thought you meant form/technique wise

 

[Delvis]

Ah ok I thought you meant form/technique wise

Oh okay No it's purely weight related

@Fallen god? Remind me, are you bulking or cutting? As I'd have thought that's kinda low calorie wise for a bulk...Depends on the individual I guess

Cutting here, so thought it would be best to keep the calories low and just stack up on protein .

 

[Chris1712]

That's too low even if you are cutting IMO. Whats your height/weight etc?

 

[Delvis]

Oh okay. Well I'm no expert, so I'll let others comment on the diet. But you probably need to be eating more, even on a cut

 

[Fallen god]

I'm 5.6" and 87kg right now, should I have another meal or increase my snacks?
