Vanity Log: how much in a year?

Needs more OAKG

The CBL guys back load the carbs so that they have full glycogen stores.

Syla5 · 4 Mar 2013 at 11:41

I backload the evening before training, no problems at all. If your always training before 12 then this is what you should do, if your fast will allow it.

Going to save it for when my body has sorted itself out... probably next week for the srs liftingz.

Oh, I ate what I thought was plenty of carbs last night, but just not enough by the 'standard' idea of CBL. No Haribos.

My body's just adapting to different fuel sources, so I'll give it a few days to figure out what is happening to it. Either way, it's a useful "reset" point for it from a nutritional standpoint, so I'll be prepping for serious gainz off the back of my fastin. Or so I think.

Overhead squats, scary things!

MoNkeE · 4 Mar 2013 at 11:58

Especially with that weight!!!

Syla5 · 4 Mar 2013 at 12:16

as a reference i hit between 300-400g of carbs, looks something like this

Rice 150g (raw) 120g
2-3 croissants 34g-51g
Dextrose - part of shake - 50g
Cornflakes 50-75g +25g-40g dextrose = 65-100g
Banana 25g
Total 304g-350g

Then i occasionally throw in an extra snack if i am feeling peckish. All that between 5 and 8pm, last night i had everthing in the space of 1.5 hours

Hmmm... by the look of it, I might have gotten around half way there (at best). Always MOAR.

That is something I can definitely do. :cool:

DAY 2

First pull deadlift 5x5

WU(70-110)-130-140-140-140-140

Speed. All about speed and positioning. Really getting right over the bar to the point just before the weight came off my heels. Nice to get this weight moving without any issue.

SLDL 4x5

140-140-140-140

Speed was the order of the day again.

Glute ham raise 4x3

Getting better, but still only 45 degrees...

DBSS 3x5 (weights are in each hand)

22.5-25-30

Because every day is leg day, mother ******s. Yeah. :cool:

[/CTFLETCHER)

Felt like giving my legs a good and proper beasting today. Hamstrings feel well and truly violated. Love it.

Met with the coach today and he's set me up a programme review for next Wednesday, gicing me a technique workover as well as finding out what's hot and what's not in my routine.

He's also found me a Crossfit

o) gym that permits overhead dropping, with some guys who won't mind me not WOD-ing whilst they go nuts.

Damn I love my job.

Syla5 · 5 Mar 2013 at 13:28

i need to get a job at your place! the commute could be worth the free physio and coaching

mrthingyx · 5 Mar 2013 at 13:31

I've got colleagues who commute from Northi(ish) London... I appreciate the M11 northbound at that time is a bit different to the roads between here and MK...

But the money saved on physio, gym membership and personal coaching definitely pays for the fuel.

MoNkeE · 5 Mar 2013 at 14:17

Where is it you work if you don't mind sharing?

Delvis · 5 Mar 2013 at 14:18

Cambridge isn't that bad to get to to be fair, just most of the roads from MK are naff / small. Leave early enough you're fine

Love your OH squats - I struggle with 60kg for more than 3-4 reps at the moment. It;s SO core centric.

Yes - they're a pain in the wrists for me. Strangely, I find they really tank my legs a lot more than regular front/back squats, but I'm guessing this is an artifact of the position and stabilising work going on...

Either way, they're awesome.

icecold · 5 Mar 2013 at 16:45

Good sessions considering!

How long do you have to wait to eat after training typically?

mrthingyx · 5 Mar 2013 at 16:57

It's normally around four/five hours as I at least try to put in a bit of effort before chowing down.

I don't workout on an empty stomach (it's been pretty full of eggs, bacon and peanut butter toast), and I get busy chowing down on carbz as a delayed backload in the evening (7-10pm)...
