Approved Log My Competition Log - SpoonT

[SpoonT]

Can consistantly comfortably hit <2500 cals and hit my protein goals, might just have to leave it at that and not bother trying to cut it down further, seem to be making progress anyway.

 

[SpoonT]

Good workout today though, was testing out my new Garmin watch too.

Looking at your logs I think you’re is good spot. No need to force a deeper cut just for the sake of it. People don’t realise but pushing calories too low messes with energy, training and recovery. In return ends up slowing you down anyway. If you’re seeing fat come off slowly and strength is holding or climbing, I say ride that wave. You can always tighten it up later if fat loss stalls.

All I needed to hear, I'm constantly doubting myself and second guessing everything.

Big ass schnitzel for dinner, should've taken a photo, was a good chunk of protein.

 

[SpoonT]

Been experimenting some pregym carbs, oats and fruit. It's been ok, can't say I'm a huge fan though. Gonna try and make essentially the same mix an oat bar instead.

 

[SpoonT]

Another week and 5 more workouts added to the list.

 

[SpoonT]

Friday was a friday and required chocolate at the end, still looks like a deficiet, but the garmin does seem to be giving me higher calories than the fitbit was so who really knows, it's mostly guess anyway.

 

[SpoonT]

Weather was shit so I went to the gym with the express purpose of just getting steps on the treadmill, it was a miserable time. Next time I'll just brave the rain, or something.

 

[SpoonT]

Weekend was pretty good, calories on point and movement up for the most part.

 

[SpoonT]

Solid week, no change in weight but unbothered by that. Solid calorie deficiet, solid workouts, and plenty of protein should mean good under the trunk progress.

That’s the mindset!

Good workout today, couldn't find 2.5 plates so chucked on 5s instead and repped out 90kg for 6 which I was super happy with. Unsure on my single arm lat pull downs, I can't really feel it in my back, feel it more in my biceps, where as the single arm cable rows I feel it right there in my last. Dunno if it's not a great exercise or I'm doing it wrong, will research.

Also work from home day and I came home to no leftovers, and only half a dozen chicken nuggets in the freezer, terrible stuff, had to make up the difference with some fish fingers, which I'm not a fan of lol

 

[SpoonT]

Really wanted more snacks in the evening but I'm trying to be super good this week to make up for the coming weekend. Birthday weekend with a couple of big things planned, eating healthy will be out the window.

 

[SpoonT]

270kg on the leg press killed me, also realized after the fact that it's triple my birthday. Heavy weight go brr

Bye going for a nap under my desk

90kg for 6 is solid. For the single arm lats, don’t stress too much a lot of people feel them in their biceps at first. Try keeping your chest up, shoulder locked down and really think about pulling with your elbow rather than your hand. That mind to muscle connection makes a big difference. Sometimes just a slight tweak in form or even grip angle that gets the lats firing properly.

I'd go hard on your birthday. One massive meal won't disrupt anything.
