manic: yep, that's exactly what im scared of. i suppose i just have to accept the fact that my arms are and will be significantly weaker than my legs for example. i cant even come back from a full 30degree push-up, only if i go down 3/4 way :( on this note: today is my first 8reps day... stage 1 is coming to the end soon,…

qotd: yesterday (mind that its only 8am where im at and weve just woken up), my daughter is 17months but practicing her terrible-twos already, her tantrums are awful! emgel: no magic?! i no need it then! :P thanks though :) i think i rather stick with the £4 olive oil instead of the £12 coconut oil then. for now anyway.

thanks for the feedback ladies. i remember asking something in stage 1 topic and since i was at a bottom of an old page/whatever reasons someone (being well reasonable to say) suggested to post a new topic for my question (whatever it was, cannae remember) saying 'experts' probably do not anymore hang around in stage 1…

guys, surprise surprise, the saying is true: eat crap, feel crap. absolutely unmotivated after yesterdays blow out... BUT i pulled it through and squatted the hell out of my rack! whoop! :) just sipping my wonder smoothie then off for a walk we go with my daughter to pick up 2x 10kg discs for my barbell. started to outgrow…

oh good, i dont feel like a complete idiot anymore. hope my appetite stabilises itself soon, cause it does feel like im overeating. (not talking about todays binge, obviously.) emgel, how on earth can you work out evenings? thats some serious dedication there :) im in my 20s too but no way id be able to do that. mind that…

im having a super-stiff-shouldered resting day and about to eat my life away! any of you feel hungrier on resting days/could this be due to needing extra energy to repair la ripped muscles? i seriously feel like eating all the carbs in the world! *sigh*

i swear ive done my right bum-cheek in with todays lunges, feels like ive gotten punched by hulk hogan.

flat shoes for lifting like converse or skater brands like dc or etnies. im working out at home tho so im bare feet too.

thank you thank you, much love :)

yes, im quoting myself cause i could really use some advice. thankyouplease.

question mainly from whom working out at home: so i have noticed how weak my left (non dominant) arm is compared to the right. im doing alright with shoulder presses but the lat pulldown substitution aka pullover is just something else! im using 5kg/each dumbbells and while my right arm would be able to manage the set the…

you may as well check my diary if in doubt. nice and public ;)

breakfast. vanilla-raisin protein porridge 365 kcal 6g fat 34g carbs 40g protein 6g fiber 7g sugar

based on this, but i used pb2 instead: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/376488-protein-peanut-butter-cups-no-baking-required

chocolate peanut butter protein cups a cup: 67 kcal 2g fat 4g carbs 9g protein 2g fiber 2g sugar

i add everything. even when i binge - the 'in 5 weeks time you are going to be gaining all the weight back youve lost within the past year' note usually puts me in my place :P i think the past year i had _one_ day i didnt log - new years eve. and i was on definitely less than 2000kcal then, in fact i was super sober and in…

pike jackknife?! i just came across this, someone mentioned it yesterday... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f15WLjKt76k

they are amazing, thank you! ive been having a hard time with healthy cheats, like protein-oat cookies simply cause they werent sweet enough, plus had more carbs than protein in each of them. your recipe however is sweet enough for my taste plus has better macros! tip: im using pb2 for topping - less calories and easier to…

just youtubed pike jackknife, well holy hell! :O speaking of which: did you all master the book version of prone jackknife? i cant seem to able to push my hips up, it always seems i have my back flat. (which apparently the more common form of the prone jackknife? according to numerous videos anyway.) i usually end up in…

hahaha this!

another (occasional *cough*) binger here, and just mentioned in stage 1 topic pretty much the same issues - short workout and feel like im capable of doing more on the swiss ball. so you are definitely not alone! :) im eating at my tdee on non-lifting days (which is btw the same as the books kcal plan -300) and adding the…

are your macros set on 40/30/30? because as long as you meet them on a daily basis, i dont think it matters where are you getting your protein from. in fact the powder only supposed to be a supplement in case you are unable to reach the recommended amount, the important thing is to have something protein filled after a…

nefetete: forgot to mention the copious amount of research and practicing ive done previous starting the program. obviously wasnt precise enough when it came to the deadlift business ha! my mini victory for now is waking up for a super achy bum and thigh muscles. god knows why did it take a day, but at least i know ive…

im a newbie, first two sessions are down from stage 1. im doing it at home and a bit scared of screwing it up majorly. i mean, ok, its still a 'test' period for me, working on how much weight can i handle and all that. still, all i feel so far are my arms! they are super jelly and (good-)sore even on the resting days, but…

just started and im doing it at home too with dumbbels, a barbell (not an olympic one, tiny bit shorter), exercise ball and squat rack. next purchase shall be the bench. whoot. i can up the weights on the barbell to 50kg (110lbs) max, i do hope it will last at least until the middle of stage 2 so ill be able to afford to…

ive started today and had the same problem, was literally done with everything within 30minutes! my arms are jello though, however, the rest of me is alright. time to up them weights me thinks!

amazeballs! :O may i ask your stats? lifting wise i mean, how much did you start stage 1 and how much did you finish it with?

buff! that popeye tattoo killed me though haha!

still have a bit to go, but hey. before-during.

thank you so much!
