MN5's 2010 get ripped plan
-
OK, currently more than 100kg but less than 101 if that makes sense. Dial is closer to the 101 but still a decrease from the last weigh in which is cool. A tough weekend ( long weekend in welly just gone ), TWO BBQs which resulted in more than a few ales but hopefully balanced by lots of trampoline jumping and no bread/taters on the plate. Big weight lifting session planned for tonight.

Crikey, under the ton ! well 99.8kg I'm estimating. Dial was still closer to the hundy. At this rate I'll have to move round in the shower just to get wet soon ! <br />
<br />
Pretty pleased with that and noticing the belt is a tiny bit looser. No major lifestyle changes just lotsa little things....<br />
<br />
"Mate would you like a coke?" "Naaaa dude waters fine" <br />
<br />
"Coming round for a drink?" "Ok" but generally having Macs Spring tide. It is summer and even welly is more bearable with a cold one....<br />
<br />
Instead of rushing around in the morning I'm putting a few minutes aside for some weetbix, four usually do. Haven't missed a brekky all year which is something I often did in the past. -
Maccas for brekky yesterday and damn it was good and agreed with me more than Razbra. Naughty boy, I did feel a bit guilty. Mowed the lawns later that day and ripped a few weeds out and such. Spent this morning helping a mate move house so good to lug a bit of heavy shit around ( and helped by being wet and cold as opposed to hot as fark like it was yesterday, Welly was actually warmer than Auckland and Whangarei ! ). Just had a nice big benching/curls session in the garage, pyramided ( is that even a word ? ) up to 120kg on the bench so happy with that but quite a few reps and sets so I know I'm gonna be feeling it in the shoulders and chest tomorrow !

that's a fair whack of tin to be pushing bro, nice!! what sort of reps are you doing at Max weight? I had an unholy urge for a Cheeseburger combo today but owned up to it to the missus, ended up getting Sushi but it was close ha ha

At 120 ? just the one rep if you can even call it that, not pretty, certainly not effortless, the arms get shaky and I go about 16 shades of purple when doing it. Still my shoulders, arse and feet remain in place so I guess it still counts ! As mentioned on your thread I've fucked out on that on more than one occasion too ! -
it all counts!! after that conversation about benching without a spotter I searched youtube with "bench fail" omfg there are some muppets out there. Some funny ones and some really dangerous fails as well!!

<br />
Not wrong dude. I saw some fucken idiot on youtube use a THUMBLESS grip ! naturally he dropped the weight, spotter missed it and he was in a world of pain. -
[quote name='BartMan']I'm an idiot too - I have used thimbless grip on most exercises for christ knows how long now. Feels weird when I use my thumb, so I don't![/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Yikes Bart, that sounds ridiculously dangerous especially seeing what happened to this dude in the vid ! ya don't want to drop big weights on your chest. -
yeah I don't know how you'd bench with any confidence without making sure your grip was sorted. Is there any sort of reason why people go for the no thumb approach BM?
-
I do it so it makes sure the weight is right on then end of my wrist joints - not in my hands then then my wrists having to lock out and take the weight. If I go thumb over in my grip now it hurts my poor widdle hands!<br />
<br />
I thumb over for all pressing movements - shoulder presses / bench presses, dumbells and barbells.<br />
<br />
But that the end of the day, whatever feels most comfortable. BUt thumb over forces you to get the weight in the right place when pressing. -
Latest weigh in.....99.4kg. Not a great deal lost since last weigh in....I have been a tiny bit slack with the food, pregnant wife had a bad day with the boy and was stressed so it was "ah fuck it we'll get KFC". Trying to avoid things like this and that'll be easier when MN5 number 2 is born and she feels better ! <br />
<br />
Not going to the sevens will help my alcohol intake but will no doubt have a few cold ones with the old man as we're visiting over the weekend. Will try and make them low carb if at all possible. -
Don't sweatr it when you have a bow out MN5 - if you're going to have a weekend on the piss, have a weekend on the piss!! Eat shit food, drink lots of booze and have a great time!<br />
<br />
Just be religious with your eating when it is time to be strict! -
yeah if you are constantly beating yourself up for slipping up with your eating plan you'll just feel stink bro. I reckon that we're getting fit as part of enhancing our enjoyment of life. For me the odd takeout meal and beers are definitely life enhancing!!

<br />
Thanks boys ( sniff ) that makes me feel better ! you're right though the odd day isn't gonna hurt. My main vices are booze and chippies/shapes etc. I'm lucky in that I don't particularly like donuts/cream buns and shit like that so they're never an issue for me. -
yeah I'm similar actually, don;t have a sweet tooth at all but I demolish savoury type kai. Chippies, fried anything, you name it I'll chop it! Luckily booze isn't one of my major vices : ) just a hobby!

<br />
As is often the case at this time of year for most of us I'm going to a few bbq's so as I alluded to earlier I try and not snack on the chippies and bread and instead load the plate with chops, chicken, steak etc and loads of greens. I also try and avoid too many processed sausages cos they're a bit naughty. <br />
<br />
All the while indulging in the "hobby" but hopefully not too vigourously !
