Few days at around 300 now, how’s it feeling? Obviously early days still. How’s the midsection control? I’m sure I saw in one of your recent vids you comment that it’s currently quite difficult. How much of your weight do you believe is currently body fat rather than lean mass?

DB leg curls are good. Pretty much the same as the lying machine curl though. RDLs but focus on ham activation rather than glute. Glute Ham Raises give me a really good hamstring pump. Single standing hamstring curls are good, can set this up on a cable or do them on the leg extension machine in reverse.

DrDean comes up with the goods again lol
Will you be able to post a link to the article once published mate? I’ll be interested to research more.

Hahah that’s a hilarious bump XD
A lot of posts get missed mate, noticed it myself, there’s a lot of new threads daily so it happens.
Never noticed any difference in effect with taking caffeine and creatine. I see many top athletes having high stim pres or black coffee and still having creatine. Even if it does negate the effect of creatine somewhat, for the cost of it, you’re not losing much really.
There is plenty of advice regarding cycling off both though. Taking a week off creatine and off especially off caffeine isn’t a bad idea. Not sure about the one on/one off though.

Hope all goes well Corinne.

Sas, favourite post workout muffin?!

You’ve just moved haven’t you? Even if you didn’t think it at the time, it’s a stressful thing to do! Could be a part of that? Plus whatever else you got going on too! :S
Hopefully things settle down for you soon and you’re back to your usual perky self! -
Yeah he’s pretty damn good! Check out his insta too, some decent stuff on his stories.

Definitely a scoop of whey in with your cereal/oats. Berries are amazing, low cal though. Peanut butter, I love PB! Huge calories though so careful not to have too much.
Eggs.
Toast.
Bacon/Turkey Bacon.These are my go to breakfast options at the moment and seem fairly common across the board. Oats and whey seems to be a firm favourite for most people!

How’d you mean Corinne? Just tired and lethargic?

I train in Wing Chun, class is once or twice a week. I use these as “active rest” days.

I can never find this stuff in the shops lol Tesco show it online but it’s never in store :S
I think Corinne has got this one completely wrong though… clearly strawberry over raspberry! haha

Yeah as mentioned, those diet choices aren’t ideal. Although saying that neither are mine at the moment haha
When I’m on track, I try and keep it pretty simple.
Lean meats – Chicken, Turkey, Steak. Either in breast, steak or mince form.
Fish – personally I love salmon, but any white fish is good too. You don’t have to have tilapia and rice every day by the way haha. If you can’t afford fresh fish there are always tins of tuna as an option, get the ones in spring water rather than oil or brine.
Eggs
Carbs – Oats, Rice, Pasta (if bulking), Quinoa, Beans, Potatoes (any variety, sweet potato is lower carbs an cals but fucking delicious)Get your veg in, leafy greens, broccoli, green beans, spinach, kale (fuck that though), mange tout, asparagus etc etc the list is almost endless!
Fats – Nuts, avocado, seeds, oils – olive/coconut/flax/avocado.
Fuck I didn’t mean to go off on a whole nutrition 101 there and probably teaching you to suck eggs, but you get the point! If you’re having ass issues, tidy up your diet a bit and see how you go. Reduce lactose and crap processed foods. Look at your supplements too, poor quality protein powders and creatine can cause gastric distress.
Keep the chocolate and muffins etc to a minimum and post work out if you can help it. A batch load of steak mince bolognese and pasta will give you way more calories and nutrient content anyway!
Anyway, that’s enough of that I think! Hope some of it helps.

Hit the magical 300! How you feeling with it?
-
Aye that’s the one 🙂 I did not go to any such fancy schools, same as you, could never afford the fees but also I was a lazy shit so definitely was never getting in anywhere!
Anyway, apologies for going off on a tangent there, back to your log! 🙂
