Big T & MMW: To Keep Lean & Stay Mean ;)
- Thread starter Big_Idiot
- Start date
Well in the UK, most european use metric units (so we work in kilograms).
The weights we use are like 5kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20kg, etc.
20kg = 44lbs. So work it out from there
Arggg, this is a difficult transition back into work today...
Anyways, Friday was decent.
5 x 5
Squats - 135, 135, 145, 145, 155*
Dips - BW, BW, 10, 25, 10
Pullups - (40), (30), (40), (30), (30)
Squats (yes, my #s suck) are getting better, dips I'm able to do a set with a 25 pound weight now, and pullups feel better, even though I still do em assisted. I threw in a lot of negative, I hope that does me good.

Today i had a day off lifting. But it didnt stop me from doing anything
- Ran a mile
- 6 uphill sprints
- 2 sets of pushups to near failure
- 2 sets of crunches to near failure
Iv only been doing more running etc just over a week, and already its getting easier
Those uphill sprints killed me though. Loved it.

LMAO you f**king yeti!
Hmmmmm...not bad
-Well my DL i have never maxed but iv done 308 for 5, and could of done more.
-Squat is poor, i have done 220 for 6 reps.
-OH Press, iv done 132 for 3 but that was mid workout and a while ago. I would hopefully smash this now
-Tomorrow im going to see how many reps i can push out with 176 on flat bench press. Im hoping for about 5.
-I dont do power cleans, only time ill sort of do one is when putting the bar on the squat rack, and that was with 132lbs on.
So thats some rough lifts.
Those are some serious numbers there, Tom!
Thanks for the kind words g8r8!!!!
Even though i know they are nothing compared to some people on here

LOL, i know jaim! Iv heard about that 600lb deadlift of yours.
I Dont usually post diet, but i will say iv lowered calories quite a lot, im prepared for slight muscle loss just to lose some bf. I dont count calories though.
Todays Rough diet consists of:
7:30am -Bowl of Special K, And a shake.
9:00am -Lean, Thick sliced pork salad sandwich on wholemeal.
10:00am - Banana
11:00am - Another Pork Sandwich
12:30pm - Large Fruit Salad
@ 1:30pm - Tuna Pasta
And then i have got 2 banana's, 100g of nuts, and a shake before the gym.
After the gym will be a PWO shake, followed by some sort of meat, with potatoes and veg.
Oh, and iv had 2 pints of milk, plenty of water.

I could never lose fat without counting. Not saying it won't work for you, just throwing in my input. And, I don't think you have to lose a shred of muscle if you eat right, in a small deficit, but continue the heavy lifting. I know I didn't.
Let's see, this week, my calories have gone up to about 2800.
8:30 - 75 grams oats, 2 scoops whey, 2 tbsp flaxseed, 12 oz milk - 800 cals
12:00 - 1 cup rice, 3 oz chicken, 1 cup green beans, 2 tbsp PB - 600 cals
3:00 - 3 oz chicken, 1 oz cheese, 4 g. fish oil, 1 cup cucumber, 1 banana - 400 cals
PWO - 48 g dextrose, 1 scoop whey - 290 cals
Non-WO days - 1 scoop whey, orange - 220 cals
8:00 - 4 eggs, 2 tbsp PB, 12 oz milk - 690 cals
So that's actually 2,780 on workout days, 2,710 on non-WO days. Still technically less than maintenence, but my lifts even went up last week with 2,500 cals. I'm not sure what to increase next week to jump the cals another 200-300...hmm.
Haha yup. People at work can't believe I eat the same thing everyday. Variety for me just creates problems.
