Well Sat and Sun are 2 days off for me so nothing exciting to report. Although I did buy a new house. Not exactly relevant although it did make my bank balance quite unhealthy and lighter.

Just a quick

20 crunches
20 reverse crunches
20 bicycle crunches
20 Double crunches

30 mins cardio.

Felt real good after.

Same again tomorrow me thinks. Maybe a little sunbathing as well.

ha ha sounds like your bank account has lost more weight than you

I know it's hard to have a complete day of rest but training your abs two days on the run will be no good for you mate, great enthusiasm tho

In this market? Are you mad? I'm impressed you got a mortgage, the way things are...

windsor81 · 13-10-2008, 02:24 AM

I paid cash mate. Of course when i say I, I mean Daddy did.
Stock markets doing nothing so i convinced him it was a better deal giving me the money as a mortgage through him and then I will pay him interest. There are some real deals out there at the moment, The house I just acquired had 40,000 knocked off it.

didn't train at all today Cardio or otherwise. Had to do an emergency stop in Gibraltar to land a sick old lady. Really got to me for some reason today so we all had a cheeky vodka after to cheer us up.

Back in with chest tomorrow, so hopefully some more PB's this week!!!

windsor81 · 14-10-2008, 01:21 AM

Hi guys, chest today. some PB's fallen today. Feel good.

Incline Bench
5 x 5 x 85kg PB

Flat Bench
5 x 90kg
5 x 90kg
5 x 90kg
4 x 90kg PB
5 x 87.5kg

Dips
2 x 10kg Relly got the hang of these now so will have to find a way of working them in.

Incline Fly
5 x 5 x 22kg

Tri pushdowns
5 x 5 x 50kg PB Actually felt like I may cry by the last set, literally could not have done a mm more.

Tri bench dips
2 x 12 x 40kg Love these to finish off

20 mins treadmill, I hate the damn thing but everything else was being used. So, footloose on the ipod and away I went.

Managed to get a steady supply of chicken, so i have changed my snacks to chicken mostly. Diet is still crap and i need to find someway of adding some good foods in there.

Bit more research into supplementation required I think, gotta get that goodness somehow and the food on here isn't going to do it.

I have also stopped using Reflex One Stop. I have developed quite bad spots all down my back and arm since using this regularly. So decided to cut it out for a week and just use the normal Whey and see what happens. If it is that I may consider ditching the all in one and adding the creatine etc back individually like a non lazy person would. That way I can see what is causing it.

dmcc · 14-10-2008, 08:19 AM

That's a lot of chest. Don't forget that a 5x5 is for strength, and if you're doing it right it should pretty much wipe you out. Try dropping the flyes for a few weeks and see how it goes.

joeyh1485 · 14-10-2008, 09:23 AM

Well done on the pb's mate am going to have to catch you up now

windsor81 · 14-10-2008, 12:42 PM

I cold drop the fly's. I don't really use them as anything other than stretching.
Cheers Joey, I'll try and catch you up in the leaness as well. Off up the road in Southampton to get some new bed sheets as well, you've put me to shame.

joeyh1485 · 14-10-2008, 01:35 PM

ha ha awesome make sure there pink

windsor81 · 15-10-2008, 01:35 AM

Well people, I am mighty peeved today.
It was leg day and to say I am dissapointed is an understatement.

I managed a paultry

Squats
5 x 100kg
4 x 110kg
4 x 100kg
5 x 90 kg
5 x 90kg

SLDL

8 x 60kg

Lunges

5 x 5 x 26kg

I had nothing to give, with the squats I actually couldn't physically lift any more. I did well last week as well. I don;t know if it is because I stopped the One Stop which had all the other goodies in, or the fact that I have starved myself of carbs for the last 5 days but i felt like I had no strength and no energy whatsoever.

On the plus side I did 45 mins cross trainer today, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
Just feel really down as legs is normally my strong point.

joeyh1485 · 15-10-2008, 08:19 AM

defo because you were on low carbs but that's a good thing mate it means you were totaly depleted before your cardio
After your next high carb day you will feel awesome again it will also spead up your matabolism

windsor81 · 15-10-2008, 01:26 PM

Well in Southampton today lads. Going to get ashore to my friendly health food store at 4 o'clock.

My shopping list at the moment is:

Zinc citrate
Magnesium citrate
Fish oils
Dextrose
Glutamine
Leucine or combo BCAA
Flaxseed
Creatine

Any comments?

good choices but no need for flax (its estrogenic) as you have fish oils in there. The strength going down is the carbs so don't worry to much about that. Can you get any other healthy fats on the ship (avacardo, peanut butter, almonds (soak them), free range butter (use anchor), free range whole eggs etc.

Go easy on the mag to start with as it can cause diahria if you use too much, start off with 600mg and work up to a dose that gives a calm nights sleep (could be between 600-2000mg).

What fruits can you get on the ship? What spices can you nick (cinnamon would be good to add to your PWO shake)?

You've also got too much volume in your workouts, intensity should always be chossen over volume IMO.

Any comments?

windsor81 · 15-10-2008, 02:30 PM

Thanks for the great advice. We have a load of stuff on the ship, its just trying to get my grubby mitts on it!
I can get cinnamon, could actually probably get it from ASDA I'll be there soon. I should be able to get some other goodies if you have any suggestions?
Fruit is a bit of a sore point, we get it but at varying degrees of freshness and batteredness. I will speak to my cabin steward actually he can get me banana's, should probably have them in there. I'm not a big nut fan but I shall give these Almonds a try, they seem to be highly recommended.

To be honest, I just threw this together last night at work, looking at other peoples suggestions on here. I really need to do a lot more research on times and quantities etc.

Cheers for the news on the strength. I don't know if you have had it before but I just felt totally out of it. Completely drained and disheartened. I had an idea it was the carbs, live and learn. Need that BCA done this weekend as well.

Cheers again guys

windsor81 · 16-10-2008, 02:42 AM

Had a real good day ashore in Southampton today. Great to get off.
Had a dirty great pizza hut pizza. Feel a bit bad after all this dieting but it is my first cheat day in ages so its not that bad.
I managed to pick up a huge bag of treats, thought I would post up my purchases whilst i figure out what to do with them!

Corn Flour
Green Tea
Cinnamon Sticks
Whole Almonds
Reflex Micellar Cassein (didn't bloody check and bought strawberry by mistake!)
Precision Engineered creatine
Magnesium Citrate 100mg tabs, directions say take 3 a day with food
Zinc citrate 17.1mg tabs, directions say 1 a day with food
BCAA's Couldn't get leucine on its own. This has
1.34mg Vit E, 105mg L-Isoleucine, 150mg L-Leucine, 45mg L-Valine
Apparantly to take 6 a day on empty stomach.
L-Glutamine powder.

So a big days shop for supps. Like I said, just need to figure out what to do with it all.

Off the top of my head..... Cassein before bed along with Zinc and Magnesium
Cinnamon PWO as recommended above
Glutamine pre and post workout along with creatine.
Green tea as and when.
So just stuck with the Amino acids and corn flour.
