Just get yourself a new job Will

 

[Morba]

I do agree with you though, you either have to be very selfish regarding your training or you have to let it slide a little

Good video, definitely worth a watch.

 

[icecold]

^So much awesomeness!

 

[LiE]

Good video Dom, I'll definitely be thinking more about my rows now.

 

[icecold]

It's a relief to know that the stuff I've been saying about scap control is accurate (if Cressey says it is, is just is) and not just reverse engineered nonsense!

 

[LiE]

I'm pretty sure my rows are close to what he describes as a good row. It just feels right.

[MoNkeE]

Woooo weighed in at 65.3kg this morning! Don't have a clue where that 800g came from over night but yeahhh! Looks like I wont be having to dehydrate myself for tomorrow.

Should I up my fats and protein intake today in preperation of tomorrow? Also, what should I eat as soon as I've weighed in? I tried to get some rehydration salts yesterday but couldn't, I found some Andrews Salts in the cuboard is this the same thing?

 

[LiE]

I'd go for a shake with oats, dextrose, whey after weigh in.

NO! Not unless you want to be pooping through the eye of a needle pop to a pharmacy or supermarket youre looking for something like Dioralyte but to be honest most places do their own brand which is cheaper.

 

[stiv121]

Oats and dextrose? I will be getting weighed from a 12-14hr fast, will the dextrose not cause an insulin spike making me tired?

 

[Steedie]

Powerlifting comp stiv?

 

[stiv121]

NO! Not unless you want to be pooping through the eye of a needle pop to a pharmacy or supermarket youre looking for something like Dioralyte but to be honest most places do their own brand which is cheaper.

Right don't fancy ******* my new singlet I'll see if i can pick some up tonight.


Yeah steedie

 

[LiE]

Good luck for tomorrow!
what weights are you aiming for with your lifts?

 

[icecold]

No fats.

For my next comp I'm having a shake with dextrose and whey, with my rehydration salts taken as soon as I weigh in.

If you're coming off a fast you might feel a little sluggish, but you'll soon find you have loads of energy. If in doubt, smash some caffeine.
