James' Big Fat Training Log

[Just a Girl]

Wow, excellent benching James! You're almost catching me on standing calves

[James]

Feeling horrid again today, actually taken some tablets tonight, something that I NEVER do! Hopefully going to feel better tomorrow as should be training deads, we shall see!

[asoe209]

Hope your feeling better mate. What's up getting flu again?

[James]

Mum had EXTRMELY bad infection/cold last week (she gets them a lot thanks to crap diet etc), I caught the very minor tail of it, however hasn't stopped me training; just one of those illnesses where you feel it first thing in the morning and last thing at night... smashed 1000mg C this morning, always helps a grand amount when taken fasted, might look into glutamine too at some point just to experiment.

I thought your nan was in tip-top shape? ;-)
Wondered what your thoughts were for turkey, does that fall in the same boat as chicken?

[James]

Wild turkey is meant to be very good, a better omega ratio.

Great session tonight, deads flew up quite easy, then reps or weight up on everything else, back on the gains, speaking of which, after pwo meal I weighed in at 13 stone 6 pounds! Wow!

Great lifting James, especially those deads. I love it when weights fly up after stalling for a while, good sense of achievement!

[James]

Yeah tell me about it! I've learnt to just go slow on them now, I have been in a tough mental state with my deads since restarting them, since I've basically dropped 30k off them since my lower back injuries a few and a bit back, let's hope I can keep the gains constant on them now, last night felt incredible, like I have a lot more in the tank.

As a side note, diet is now solid after chopping and changing for a bit (foodstuffs), currently looking like:-

Training days -
1pm - 300g skinless sweet potato, 150g roast beef joint (fat trimmed), 25g raw spinach. Also, 7.5ml fish oil.
4pm - 300g skinless sweet potato, 150g roast beef joint (fat trimmed), 25g raw spinach. Also, 5g creapure.
7:30pm - 325g soaked white rice, 200g roast beef joint (fat trimmed), two nori sheets. With a dessert of 225g natural yoghurt, large whole apple, 250g blueberries, 15g raw honey. Also, 7.5ml fish oil, 5g creapure.
Totals - 180g protein, 475g carbs, 50g fat - 3050 calories.

Rest Days
250g roast beef joint (fat trimmed), 500g skinless sweet potato, 4 hard boiled free-range eggs. Also, 7.5ml fish oil, 5g creapure.
250g roast beef joint (fat trimmed), 100g cheddar cheese, 65ml double cream, 300g natural yoghurt, 10g 90% lindt dark chocolate, small glass of shiraz red wine.
Totals - 180g protein, 150g carbs, 133g fat - 2500 calories.

Bit of a pain eating so much cheese and beef in rest day last meal, both 'dry', as it were; but does the job and is GREAT with the dry note of a good shiraz - which equally impresses with the high quality chocolate! Lush!

NOTES: I DO want to try and erase the need for fish oil supplementation in my diet, I've managed it before, but it did mean eating a lot of fish! Now that beef is a staple in my diet, as well as good eggs, I shall re-calculate my omega 3 totals and hopefully then include the adequate amount of fish, in the shape of salmon, to replace some beef intake with a view of hitting the 2.5g EPA and 1.5g DHA (totals might actually be reversed, can't be bothered to check!) a day - thus replacing the need for fish oils supps!
