Tip for spicing up bland food mate.

Nando's sauce from supermarket. NOT THE MARINADE THOUGH.

Its got something like 3g of carbs, virtually zero fat per 100g and you only need a little to spice up loads of chicken. ( i put about 30g on 2kg of skinless / boneless breasts).

Good luck for the show by the way, dieting myself

Ta mate.

Couldn't get to the gym today so had to train at my dads garage. Did hams, calves and forearms .. hard to get a pump cos it was soooo cold but a decent workout all in all.

Am finding that I'm holding a lot of water by the time I go to bed despite drinking 5+ lts of water a day. Guy helping me with my prep told me not to worry but I just hate that watery feeling.

Quads tomorrow and I'll weigh myself.

Ian how the chuff do you train legs at bodypower and manage them stairs, i went there the other day after a leg sesision, i forgot how bad they where i was waddling down like john wayne took me about 5 minutes to get down them

Marsbar · 21-01-2008, 10:12 PM

with great difficulty LOL. You really take your life in your hands!! To put into context for those reading .. my gym is in an old warehouse and is reached by an old, steep spiral staircase with very narrow steps.

Marsbar · 22-01-2008, 08:53 PM

Did quads and delts today .. I did train delts on friday but did them today as I'll be pressed for time the rest of the week. Saying that though I managed to do both bodyparts in 45 mins

Tried out a trial sample of UK muscle Nitro Pump pre w/o mix today. I liked it, gave me a good solid pump. Weighing in around 16st 11lb today so weight still coming down. Tonight was also the first night I still felt hungry after a meal (steak and potatoes) so I had 60g oats and that did the trick.

Todays workout went as follows:

Staggered leg press 4 sets (pain) !!!
Leg ext 2 sets then a drop set
Hack squat 1 heavy set then a 20 rep set, each rep pasued at the bottom and not locked out at the top.

Had wobbly legs after this. Then onto delts:

Cable laterals 2x triple drop set
Seated press 4 sets
Rear laterals 2 sets

Was totally spent after this and felt a bit lightheaded. Good workout though, increased weight and/or reps on all exercises.

genesis · 23-01-2008, 12:40 PM

Its in Liverpool mate, called bodypower

The Iron · 23-01-2008, 02:04 PM

ahh right. The warehouse / stair case rang a bell, my mistake.

Sounds very simlar setup though.

Leaking roof? damp up walls? year round air con in the form of smashed windows? LMFAO!

Marsbar · 23-01-2008, 06:30 PM

That sounds exactly like our gym LOL. Iron .. do you train with wes then?

The Iron · 24-01-2008, 09:49 AM

I will be full time once I move to Manc in the summer ( we will both be signing up to ninepacks gym, it sounds awesome) but for now I just pop down about once a month. We both train using same style and both have same goals so will work well.

Marsbar · 24-01-2008, 06:30 PM

chest and triceps today .. and I felt fcuked!!! I felt as weak as kitten. I also seem to have a niggle in my left elbow. So todays workout consisted of inc bench straight into flyes straight inot hammer chest press. Just did 10 reps per set keeping the same weight and did about 6 cycles. Did a few sets of hammer dips and pushdowns to finish. The lower carbs seem to be affecting me more as time goes on and I really wasn't happy with todays workout. Had a chat with the guy helping me with my prep and he's advised I bump my carbs up in the morning (as I usually train at lunchtime) and drop them off a bit in the evening.

People are starting to notice the weight loss now, especially in my face

The Iron · 25-01-2008, 10:01 AM

Nice work re weight loss.

How many carbs you getting in ED?

Oh you have PM too bud!

Marsbar · 25-01-2008, 10:24 PM

Carbs are probably around 300g per day. I'm fairly sensitive to carbs and have a sedentary job so I'm keeping them on the low side.
