7 weeks out big update.
Man have I been slack a bit of late. Updates are few and far between, but damn have I been busy. The guys I employ have been falling behind with there work so I have had to muck in, in an attempt to rectify the problem, and i am really adverse to manual labour ( I really thought manual was the guy who bought me my steak at the resturant). Anyway, rugby season is only a week away and we have been having scratch matches and the like, so that has been full on. Coaching the younger guys (20s) is great, you can flog these guys and they come back for more. We would if anything have to be the fittest and strongest team this year.
Met Grant Clemesha at our gym today. For those that dont know, Grant won the amatuer Mr Universe in 1995 (I think) and was an IFBB pro for many years, before opting for a normal life, as he put it. He is still huge, but reckons he likes being normal and not having to sleep with breathing aids is a bonus.
Quick update on the food and supps follows.
Meal one 1 cup oats 1/2 cup skim milk
9 or 10 eggs plus one yolk.
Supps 2 x flax caps, 3 x fish oil, 2 x glucosamine, 3 x BCAA caps, 1 x garlic cap, 1 Animal Pack.
Pre workout - 2.5 scoops No explode
Post workout (immediately) 30gms liquid carbs 3 x BCAAs caps
(1/2 hour) 2 scoops ON 100% whey
either 1/2 cup oats or 6 thin rice cakes.
Meal three 150gms brown rice
180gms (after cooked) chicken
Meal four Presently 2 scoops Whey and 6 rice cakes
5 weeks out will change to 150gm rice, 180 chicken
Meal five 180 gms chicken
1.5 cups of either salad or vegetables
Meal 6 2 scoops whey will also change this to solid food 5 weeks out
Snacks 1/2 cup of almond/cashew mix throughout the day.
This is giving me just over 2800 cals, about 300gms protein 280 carbs, and 55 fat
Cardio at the moment is a killer, twice daily now, up at 6am put on the ipod, do intervals of walk a song, run a song for just over 5ks and then fast walk 5ks in the evening normally before meal 5.
Progress thus far. Started contest prep at a hefty 110kgs (242 pounds), I am trying to keep away from the scales now but last peep i was 89kgs (195.8 pounds) so thats 21kgs (46.2 pounds)vanished. I think it equated to aboout 8 inches off the waist, which i am pleased with as well.
Well you all enjoy the easter break, i am planning a visit to the beach with my pre packed food and a magazine for some relaxation and to check out the scenery, behind dark glasses (well the wife is coming too.)
