So 5 weeks into new program. Lost 3kg, maintained strength and improved my running quite a bit (VO2 +1). I think thats pretty good, except I need to up my intake otherwise I might lose too much and it will affect strength.

Also reduced drinking to one night a week, which probably affects the weight loss heavily.

Setting fireworks off at the gym this morning

dont drink just water

did arms today and hang leg raises for abs and russian twists

also gym was packed at 130 pm by 330 it was dead

me when i want a cheat meal

Wat do you mean?

Did the DT WOD this morning:
70kg barbell, 5 rounds

• 12x Deadlift
• 9x Hang Power Clean
• 6x Push Jerks

Finished in 12 minutes, which is intermediate. The hang power clean killed me so I really need to work on that technique.

WSOTD

Drank way too much yesterday I ruined my body

is there any significant difference between lying and seated leg press machines? I stopped with the lying one because im very worried about injuries, but idk if the seated one yields the same results. I do the same weight on both

I find that I like seated leg press if I’m trying to really hit my quads cause I can easily shift my feet placements and I can maintain tension better on my quads

Lying leg press or angled I like cause you can really emphasize your hamstrings, especially with, again, feet placement. So I can get a lot deeper and really stretch my hamstrings at the bottom.

So pretty much seated for quads and lying for hamstrings for my preferences

good stuff thanks, ill stick with the seated most likely since I dont really go deep because of my knees

Going deep best way to strengthen them knees

Probably dysmorphia or if anything, very temporary

right, right.. hate doing it anyhow but I know I gotta

Yeah I always feel depressed af after drinking lmao I get worried I ruined my gains and progress

Just drink water period. No more alcohol. Try it for a month or so, might see a difference.

That’s difficult

It’s difficult but worthwhile, I guarantee you’ll feel better after a month off

I’ll try after my vacation next week

I get vacation is a write off lol but what’s even harder is the “I’ll do it tomorrow” mindset. Cause then you push it to the day after & you never end up doing it.

A month might be a lot but perhaps try for a week instead.

I’ve done it for 7 months 2 years ago but the benefits werent that big to me. So I still take a few brews every so often.

dont drink pop or alcohol if you do drink alcohol drink vodka water

i hate beer and i dont drink alcohol because any sugar drinks raise my blood sugar

Ran 18k today, went tough as f*** but I made it. Time do some resting

moderation
