It's amazing how little progress you can make while still clocking a lot of time at the gym. Have seen it more with guys just training a (limited) area of strength. So they'd improve a bit, but never address their weak areas. Cool to train with others but you've also got to do your own thing.
Dude, I reckon you are one of the most mentally tough people I (virtually lol) know. I'd back you to deal with that wall 100%. Still think you are a mad fucker for taking one on like you are. But also, fuck yeah!
Cheers Bro 👊
Getting to the gym is probably the biggest struggle most face. I remember as a young lad being very intimidated about entering one. So I don’t really understand when you’ve got over that hurdle that you’ll just ef around when there. Thing is my mate is essentially doing this to get a partner. His words were “if I want a 7 then I have to look like a 7”. He should be drowning in poontang right now, but at the rate he’s going he’ll achieve his goals when he’s living in a retirement village.

Give him my details, happy to help out and offer some advice

Thursday already!
Push-pull programme really working a treat. Hammered after some serious push this morning.
Coach Von Hitler asked for my meal plan and is going to give it a go himself. I must be doing something right. Seems utterly absurd that a 22 year old former elite swimmer is asking a 42 year old tool for advice but it’s a funny world.
-
Coach Himmler mustn’t have liked the diet because he created a bastard set today.
1km warmup then
3 50s. First 50 max to 12.5m, second to 25m, third all 50. Then
20 kettle bell swings, 10 push-ups, 20 dips, 15 weighted lunges, 20 squats. Then
3 50s like above but all kicking. Bastard
1.5 hours later hit the gym for pull session (no jokes please). Not bad. Bit too much gossiping with Mate but did the job.
Planning to up the ante a bit tomorrow with swim then 15km run.

A couple of times I think. Here it is. Pretty bloody boring but it works for me.
Breakfast: Cup of oats mixed with shake (2 eggs, 2 egg whites, protein powder) + berries.
Morning tea: 2 rice cakes with peanut butter.
Lunch: 1.5 chicken breasts, rice, mustard and almonds.
Afternoon: spinach/kale shake with protein powder
Dinner: Repeat lunch but with salmon, turkey or steak. No nuts.
Before bed: Protein shake.
On Saturdays I eat whatever I want although try to lay off the sugary treats and ice cream.

I can’t see the daily beer recommendations. I’m assuming that’s some sort of misprint ?

@rancid-schnitzel so how many calories is that?
Obviously you are doing alot of work to burn through it.
I'm looking to change from IF, as I am not enjoying at moment, but looks like far too many calories in that for what I am going to burn!

It really isn’t that much at all. Only about 2100 when just chicken breast. A couple hundred more when steak or salmon. If you really want to drop the kgs then don’t eat carbs for dinner.
-
@rancid-schnitzel yeah I'm not trying to drop any more, but dont want to gain a bunch either, more maintainance.
looks like it would be much more than that?? WOulda thought the protein powder alone would be getting up there.
I am doing IF at present, but am a bit over it now, so looking to change it up

It’s 3 scoops of VPA in total which is only 336 calories.

@rancid-schnitzel ah ok, one of mine is 500 per shake and the other (Mrs TR bought it this week for me) is like 800, although is a meal replacement one too, but I dont like it much, so will smash it out to get rid of it.

Yeah some of those are calorie bombs. Heaps of carbs. Mass gainers have some insane amounts.
-
Anyway will be eating a whole lot more today.
Did 2.km in the pool then a 15km run. Absolutely blasted🤯 -

So those meat portion sizes are what, 250gms per meal or so?

Yeah about that. I cut the crap off the breasts (tendons etc) then cut them up into small pieces then bung them in the air fryer. If I’m particularly hungry I’ll add a bit more. The hardest thing is finding the right balance.

He he. No thanks! I also haven’t ridden a bike in about 15 years.
The marathon will be an epic cnut. My calves are killing me and that was from just 15km! Admittedly the swim involved a lot of kick work but still. I’m thinking the best preparation for a marathon is getting used to a world of pain.
