Lift, Train, Fitness

... While the temps are higher in the southern states, the humidity here makes being outside super uncomfortable

on three separate occasions i was in southern Florida, southern Mississippi and southern Texas in late August/ early September which included spending a considerable about of time during the day outdoors. to someone who has never been there, it is hard to describe the levels of oppressive heat that time of year. in Biloxi, where i was working for over a month, i remember passing a golf course daily advertising "All You Can Play - $35".
 
Training went well tonight, combined sat and sun training together. I have now modified my hand position for squat to better accommodate my restricted shoulder mobility, I just need to get used to the new groove. I also need to swap from sumo deadlift to conventional to take pressure away from my hip arthritis. Conventional is a weaker lift for my anatomy but should be be able to be built up ok.
 
Bench press this morning, went well, weight wise I am ahead of training schedule, next week I will be back to using full size plates, using the little plates makes me feel so weak, It shouldn't and there is probably a bit of ego in there but I think to be a top level athlete there is always going to be ego involved.

Also next week reps drop to 8

However no ego involved with teaching a young woman to bench press the bar for the first time. Lots of determination to stay fit despite a broken leg in a moon boot.
 
A bit of ego is not a bad thing as long as it doesn´t take over - which I don´t see happening with you. Kudos to broken-leg-girl!
 
feeling slight DOMS this morning.

I have been eating a few things I shouldn't over the last couple of weeks, I have got to pull myself together. I wish hubby would stop offering me tasty crap.

Shopping day today.
 
I feel sluggish & need to really focus on clean eating again & more exercise. I love the way you call it tasty crap. What would a good day's eating be for you, Tru?

Usually a good day would be a bottle of water in the morning while getting everybody off to work and on daycare days bubs bag packed. Then into the gym for training/coaching. get home cook up some sort of meat (usually chicken or beef) cooked with spices and served with some green veg (broccoli etc) by this stage I have already had 1.5 - 2 litres of water. Evening meal at around 8:30 pm is similar to lunch but different veg selection to make sure I hit nutritional targets. I will have some nuts post training if it has been a particularly tough session. Eggs are sometimes eaten instead of meat.

I supplement Vitamin D based on regular blood tests showing I don't produce it no matter how long I spend in the sun
Electrolytes depending on how hot it has been and how much I have been sweating
Creatine Effects of creatine supplementation on performance and training adaptations. - PubMed - NCBI
L-arginine The Benefits of L-Arginine for Bodybuilding | Livestrong.com


Tasty crap consists of things like orange juice (Citrus give me hives), chocolate, snack food that contains wheat (give me a very itchy nasty rash all over)
 
So far today, Water, Pork ribs for lunch plus more water, a smallish piece of cheese (46 grams) and some capsicum while waiting for meat to finish cooking. I have a chook to put in the oven later.

this in not uncommon down on the beach but the surf is savage at the moment, if the cyclone does cross the coast, then Rainbow beach is the expected crossing point. Time for everybody in town to go nuts for milk sandwiches lol. We had to build our home to cyclone standards so not concerned if we get a direct hit.
 
I am pretty much located on the mainland just across from the bottom of Fraser Island. The shipwrecks here are all caused by cyclones. To visit Fraser Island from my place it is a 20-30 minute drive and a 10 minute car ferry crossing. The beach in the above photo is a recognised road with the same rules as the rest of the roads in Queensland. Where visitor come unstuck is driving on the beach on the incommoding tide, the wrecks are a spectator sport

Interesting reading your food plan - I presume lunch and dinner are sizeable portions??

I don't do IF but keto reduces appetite so going a good amount of time between meals just happens naturally and protein is very filling. however yesterday I consumed 1400 calories, of which my protein was 115 gram and hitting almost all of my aminos (serine and proline were slightly low, Arginine would be low without supplement) 4 grams of net carbs (vit C was a bit low, however the body needs less vit C on a keto diet) Fat was the balance and all of my fat soluble minerals were fine.
 
Plan of attack today is after getting everybody to where they need to go, it will be time to get into the gym to train and to finalise the gym comp details. Then I probably should check the generator under the house, If the cyclone does hit (tracking models showing it to be more likely and suggest sandy cape as crossing point (Fraser Island). We are on high ground but power outages could be a problem. Hope the bloody weather doesn't interfere with games night on Saturday.

My son is also the new owner of a car which I will need to drive up from Canberra with him in the next month or so, we have to work out which weekend and book airfares down. Drive time is around 20 hours straight to get back.
 
I have a couple of minutes to spare before heading out for the day, finished packing bubs lunch box for the day at childcare consisting of roast chicken (from last night) ham, cheese, mango, mixed berries a banana and some baked beans. 2 bottles and her sippy cup for water during the day.

I have not found anything she won't eat yet.

My intakethis morning so far has been 600ml of water, with my arginine and creatine mixed in.
