    You've got some purty looking food.

    morning weight 80.5kg

    ScreenHunter_46%2520Sep.%252029%252007.38.jpg
    Also did 10mins skipping and some heavy bag work.

    After reading http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/21_exercises_for_injury_free_mass I decided to use a couple of the exercises in there so I didn't have to load my spine. I can tell you that the reverse deficit db lunges from a 30cm box are KILLER! Basically with my rear knee on the ground, the upper knee flexion would be similar to be doing a bb squat ATG which I cannot do. SERIOUS glute activation!

    Really like the one arm db SOHP too. Incline bench is doing nothing it seems, probably need a heap more weight. I tried to skip to my 39's but didn't have the momentem to get them up and I found out I can't curl 39kg db's :P

    Pullups were done in sets of 5 all throughout the workout really concentrating on 100% form. And I used my pushup handles for a bit of extra depth and shoulder checking. All good :)

    I did a 26hr fast today also. Was going for 24hrs but ended up being that long. Pretty damn easy actually. Lots of coffee & water and I'm good to go. The above workout was fasted.

    And my back is feeling a bit better each day. I think I'll continue with these unloaded movements for a bit.

    Weekend was hectic. Lots of drinking, lots of activities. Good fun. Lacking sleep!

    Yesterday, I got the unicycle out at the backpackers we were staying at and had some good improvement actually. Another guy there has been riding for a while and showed me a few things. Heaps of fun!

    Other major exercise for the day was busting out human flags at Coco Mangas night club at Byron Bay :P Was wicked fun! Also got semi decent at those ones where you back up to the pole and put it into you're trap area and do then raise up to horizontal.

    Found these in my travels haha

    Today I decided to do a cardio only day.
    11mins skipping. (only stuffed up 5 times :))
    Then I did 100 pullups and 200 pushups for time. Did it in 12m55secs. (Timbahwolf did it in 12m12 so not "too" far off)
    Then 6x2 min rounds on the heavy bag

    Made some pumpkin coconut protein loaf.

    yeah something like that :tongue: Nah, very random to find legit pop tarts in Australia let alone at 4am in a convenience store in a hippy beach town!

    I love RFL in a really sadistic kind of way. Yes, I'm an IIFYM guy but there is something special about being 100% strict to a restrictive diet plan. I just have to be careful about overdoing the exercise this time now that I'm a student and training people. It's easy to forget and just start doing my own thing as well.

    morning weight 80.6kg

    Did some foam rolling/mobility stuff at my parents place while catching up on some moto gp.

    Went for a walk and had an impromtu muscle up comp with a random dude at the jungle gym. Good fun :)

    Still taking it a bit easy with this lower back niggle.

    Right shoulder is happy at that weight but won't go any higher for bro curls I don't think.

    Absolutely loving the one arm db sohp. Serious core stabilisation required and it really seems to recruit the lats a lot more than a bb sohp.

    Plank was with 10kg and felt fine for the back.

    My last oats below were delicious!

    Have fun murdering yourself. I may have already asked, but rough kcal/macro breakdown for RFL? Just mega high protein 1400kcals? You may not have got the memo, but 1200kcal diets dont work :P

    macros will basically be the same as today for the next 12 days :smile:


    2 October 2012
    morning weight 80.5kg

    Did a little bit of a circuit thing today.

    First 10 rounds
    ice cream maker x3
    deficit db reverse lunge 18.75kgx3
    Decline pushup x5

    Second 10 rounds
    pullup x10
    pushup x10 (variations)

    Calf raises 55kgx25x3

    Initial dexa results

    81.2kg
    9.06% BF
    73.57kg LBM (up 1.8kg from last year)
    7.33kg fat mass (up 1.8kg from last year)

    So on average 150g per month but I'm sure there was some gains and losses in that time. Definitely puts it in perspective how slow it is to build muscle!

    EATS (probably won't bother unless I make something weird for RFL)

    You had me at "sriracha".

    Really interested to see how the RFL goes you fcking crazy Aussie.

    You're insane.


    But, I think you'll finish it and end up totally DICED. That's my expectation anyways.

    Beach walk and a few sprints with the poodles.

    Also did 10 pullups at 22.5kg nuetral grip but felt that it was too much for lower back so stopped there.

    Full icecream makers now. My current favourite core exercise :)

    weight updates are in every post :P

    No idea on strength yet as I had to modify exercises after hurting my back 2 weeks ago. Was able to do my best ever human flag yesterday though :laugh: In the pic below I was held there for about 5 seconds.

    And yep, always IF. Normally 16/8 ish but sometimes a bit longer. I think it defiitely helps with the low cals.


    7 October 2012
    morning weight 78.8kg

    Went for a ride on the pushy to the shops for a bit this morning. Then walked down to the beach and met Keola's pole instructor with a mobile pole. She was teaching us all a few things. I was very happy that I could do the shoulder stand to backwards flip thing pretty easily. Also, climbing to the top and doing the easy version of a flag with you're elbow by you're side. Spent about 2 hours out there and practicing a whole heap of handstands and stuff as well. Slowly getting better at them. Still don't feel all that comfortable upside down yet. No issues with shoulder or back. Mad fun! (didn't get any vids but doing it again next week so will then)

    Had some serious cravings for cottage cheese today so decided to demolish 1kg of it to get it out of the system haha. Technically, it is allowed but because we only get low fat not no fat it should be limited. (not how I eat it)

    And I have decided that this week there will be no protein powder supplements used. CARNIVORUS MAXIMUS!

    Today's workout was pretty tough. Was aiming for full body glycogen depletion basically. The reverse deficit db lunges were making my left knee crazy noisy so I thought I would switch to bulgarians.

    PB on the ice cream makers :)

    Calf raises were single leg ones.
    (all db exercises are listed as weight per db)

    Half way results from RFL
    weight 80.6kg - 79.3kg

    :smile: That is my daily tuna salad which I normally don't bother posting but that is 70g of my protein intake right there and damn tasty. Also has bacon salt & lite potassium salt for more sodium & potassium :smile:
  • I got 225 grams of protein today --I was fu#king starving after lifting. I was fine all morning--then BAM! Non-stop hunger. Carbs were decent though, fat was low. Pretty good day for me but I definitely was high in cals.

    That's massive! High in cals for you now but lower than "normal" though right?

    morning weight 79.3kg

    Rest day
    Rode pushy to the docs and turns out he agrees with me that I strained my SI joint. Basically said no heavy squats or deadlifts for a bit. I'm happy with that as those split squats kicked my *kitten* the other day anyway :P Although I did want to DL heavy with the other guys. Oh well, can wait.

    Also, was going to do some hill sprints with Keola but just before 5 I had to go for a short walk and was feeling low on energy so decided to listen to my body and just take the poodles for a walk.

    And took some pics of Sago for a little comp on FB.
