So yesterday when I was doing chest, I was struggling with even 75 lb dumbbells. I know I can do 85's, but it just felt so heavy. I felt good, had energy, just not the strength. Would this be due to my lower calorie diet?
I hate apple juice and iceberg salad! >__<
My main problem is vices...booze....
Today in an attempt to go to the gym with a full tank, I stuffed down a protein bar about 1 hour prior to getting there. I hope this = ample energy to do what I want to do...
I don't eat near the amount of fruits and veggies I should. (I know this isn't quite the same) I try to make up for it with plenty of vitamin/mineral supplements. Right now my "fruit and veggie" servings that happen consistently are apple juice and iceberg salad. That's an improvement over the absolutely nothing for most of the last decade.
I simply can't stand the taste nor texture of most vegetables and/or fruit, unless heavily disguised. Even for the salad it has to be mixed with chicken and copious amounts of parmesan powder.
That new workout I mentioned earlier really feels like it's giving me "big bang for the buck". My hamstrings are feeling it more than I normally get from standard squats (as opposed to my quads), and my traps/shoulders are already showing some improvement.
I've also been leaving my bench at about 185/195 right now and trying to slide my grip wider instead of upping the weight.
Stir fry is your friend. soy sauce, sesame seed oil, garlic, honey, ginger, green onion, rice vinegar and brown sugar. Corn starch is key for thickening.
Corn starch, brown sugar, and soy sauce kind of undo the dietary value don't you think? Like smothering salads in ranch.
