Cool features on the way soon!!

Well today was a great training day but VERY low carbs. So mentally I'm in a pretty low place. But Joel to the rescue he sent me a hilarious youtube video that everyone needs to watch. Just gold!!!

Well I'm slowly getting back into training. My training partner and I have agreed on splicing two programs together.

The madcow 5x5 (A classic powerlifting program we had some great results with)

A High Rep Pyramid Program on the 'off days' from the 5x5. Pyramids for me are starting heavy and working all the way down to light weights, as weight decreases reps increase and there is minimal rest, like maybe 10-25 seconds.

My week looks like this -

Well at times life decides to throw some curveballs at you and this weekend was no exception. Playing Gridiron on Saturday I suffered a grade 1 bordering 2 tear of the VMO (Vastus Medialis Oblique), the Tear Drop part of your quad, and severe bruising of the responsible for the last 15 or so degrees of movement in your leg.

1rm caution (and form) to the wind session.

Squat - 100x4, 125x4, 150x3, 160x1 (NEW PB!)
Dead - 100x5, 125x1, 140x3, 170x1 (NEW PB!)
Bench - 85x4, 95x3, 130x1 (PB in the past 18 Months!)

Threw the lunges back in just to have a go and heat the legs up after some time off. Extremely pumped after the session.

Todays blog entry, is about one of my favourite pastimes, FOOD! I confess I love to eat, but theres the catch. How do I eat delicious food healthfully and to support my goals?

With MIDMA Snacks and PadThai thats how!!!

With the Gym opening in Fyshwick, Canberra (ACT) at the end of November its time to get cracking with my blog.

Todays ditty is a quick thought or two about how to intermix my hypertrophy training with some strength training.
