Re: Pikey's progress Hi mate sounds like you had a good workout there yesterday congrats on the bench and squat PB.
The mince sounds tasty but there would still be way to much fat for me pre contest, once I’m close and lean I will have a piece of fillet very occasionally, I tend to think I could do with more red meat which is why I was trying the water buffalo the other week. I have to watch fat intake for two reasons, the obvious one and the less obvious one is that my stomach is very sensitive to fat especially when I’m eating very clean it’s easy for me to end up with an upset stomach and really bad squiters ( see my question to Paul ) which then means much less of what nutrients are going into my body are absorbed. As my coach says “it isn’t so much about what you eat as much as what nutrients your body absorbs”.
My legs are very stiff today following quads, they seem to be coming through quickly, I’ll have to take the hair off so I can get a good idea on condition but I never have much of a worry with quads. And shaving my whole body every week is about the biggest downer of contest prep for me – perhaps electrolysis, then again perhaps not… |
