Day 8 is done and dusted. I had the usual shake at 3pm. Then chicken, rice, shake for dinner. I shud get to my 10 day goal weight of <79kg. And on thursday ima add eggs/toast to meal 1, which will be nice. Leaning out like you thought i wud ... call the crib, the same number same hood, its all good.

I might be training someone to dunk which is exciting .. ive never done that before. woooho.

LOL.  That big lyric.  I actually laughed out loud.  Love it. Thanks for that... 

This is gonna show how old I am but in college training camp we remixed T-pains song (I'm sprung) to "I'm sore".   Lol.  A lot of downtime and soreness and smelling of bengay...

I wonder if training vacays would be a good business...  My friend worked for a company that did "adventure vacations".  Basically you fly somewhere and a lot of the vacation is dedicated to hiking or rafting or something of the sort - kinda a cool idea so you can go on vacation and not come back fat... What if there as an adult version of a two week training camp vacation...  Probably not a huge market...

LOL.  Entropy as a trainer.  STEP 1: DO NOT EAT.

Yeah. Agreed. If you refined the recipe down into a solution which worked well 90% of the time in a brief period of time, it would be a hit. People would flock from all around the world. Lot's of ppl with (athletic) dreams but no way to achieve them.

A bit bout the guy, i havent got stats yet but will get some soon. He's young, raw and athletic, bout 6ft maybe as low as 5'10" im not good at judging heights. he can barely touch the rim, says he cant currently. Weighs 80kg. Strong, not fat, not skinny. Im pretty confident he'll be dunking one day.. hopefully we can figure it out!

Oh and btw new LPR on the scales, 78.8kg .. which came out of the blue on morning of day 9. So im doing well ... 77.5kg shud def be manageable within the allocated 21 days. Then im gonna stop cutting and recomp.

If he is 6 foot, strong, not fat, young and athletic.... 

Then he could touch the rim.   

Good luck.  Every project is different... This ones sounds hard.

BS 2x3x120
OHP 6x50, 2x57.5

BW: 78.8kg


Notes:

Horrible workout. Maybe the deficit is catching up with me. Maybe it's lack of sleep. Maybe it's stress from having my heart broken (lol). Idk but that was stupid. Will try again saturday after some rest.

Skipping track as well, will go shoot some hoops and try clear my head / cheer myself up

Well i faltered diet wise yesterday. For meal 1 i had a shake. Meal 2, 2 chicken breasts, 3 naans. Which was fine, but then i had a protein bar for dessert .. and it didn't satisfy, so had some 4 anzac cookies .. with a glass of milk. Im not sure if that killed my deficit, but it prob did. So might have to do an extra day of cutting or something. Guess it works out cos i can do a refeed on saturday when i train...

Scales read 78.8kg  / 173.7lb which is maintaining steady from the LPR from yesterday. 77kg seems to be light at the end of the tunnel. Then maintain and recomp: get strong, add creatine eventually. Repeat.

A few things are coming up this month in terms of training/athleticism that i wanted to make a note of;

1. The team im filling in with has a big game tmr night .. against hte top team in the league, i guess it's a key game, im not too excited, just another game to me but i have some aggression against life to outlet against .. so watch this space

2. The young kid i 'discovered' a few years back is coming back home around mid july for a few weeks before he flies out to the states for his future career .. that's exciting. I wanna test myself against him, he's pretty good .. 6'5" athletic, sharpshooter. last time i balled with him was in xmas, and he dunked on me which was the first time anyone has done that

3. Playing for anotehr team on monday nights .. maybe .. apparently they have bigs already so i can play on the perimeter. which is exciting cos i was recruited for my 3pt shooting ability .. a first. I'm going to make sure i put up a shitload of 3s before monday. on this vein, if im a 40% shooter i shud take 5 3ptas to make 2 a game. That seems a lot ... i usually take one, and if i miss then i dont shoot again .. if i even take one so yeah 5!

4. i really should stop cutting if i wanna put in some decent performances above. the interesting thing is for the first time in my life im happy to skip lifting just to peak my vert .. and now i think i am already ready to put cutting on hold to peak too. This is huge .. i may just have PRs on teh horizon cause im willing to allow myself the chance to put bball first over everything else..

BW: 79.1kg (+0.3kg .. da fuk)

But i look "leaner" for whatever that's worth. Anyway i've decided 77kg or bust and then maintain that while recomping .. with or without creatine .. that's my "Athletic" bodyweight, no more, no less. But that's a strong 77kg .. not a dieted down one. Which means i wanna be carbed up, creatined up, PR'ing up at that bodyweight.

So another 10 days more of cutting starting today but will be adding eggs and toast to meal #1 on sunday onwards. Lets go. bball tonight. Feeling pretty refresh. shud be able to dunk.

Could be water retention?

Yeah, it's possible. I wasn't to worried cos hte overall trend is downward. Actrually im happy when my bw is higher on training days .. its almost like im wearing a weight vest :P

Speaking of which .. can yuo guys convince me that it's ok to maintain say 79-80kg bw for training sake, if it makes me a better athlete from working harder or whatever carrying that dead weight around? Im obsessed (i realise) attaining goals that i don't consider whether or not it's the best thing in the first place to chase them.

i do promise i'll keep eating clean and maintain or improve bodycomp by playing bball at a higher level. I mean instead of walking around on defence, fly around trying to chase boards or set picks or whatever the situation demands. That's really hard on recovery but it also makes you fitter and in better shape. I can't do both play at 10 rpe and cut, it has to be a choice.

game tonight was good. we lost which sucks but everyone gave me props. i played the entire first, took a few minutes off the start of the 2nd and we lost the lead (bout 10 points worth). the momentum shifted and we never got back into it .. i needed a rest and i wanted to let the other guy play some, but i realise it may have cost us the game. i need to be fitter.

and yes mutumbo im leaner so bodyweight is just a herring .. my abs/ribs are starting to show pretty definingly( no such word).

forgot to mention i had a quality dunk session, got my 3x6 dunks in. then did some max effort ones. total dunk attempts were prob around 36 today. good amount of volume.
diet wise ate 2 chicken breasts for dinner. some rice. a protein shake. done. meal 1 was the usual shake. im adding eggs and toast on sunday as mentioned.

Re: chasing athleticism Final cut pro, day 1 / 10

BW: 78.3kg / 172.6lb (LPR!)

Goal weight is 77kg but realistically in 10 days i'd be LUCKY to be 77.5kg. Will see how it goes, can't predict these things anyway.
Hungry af .. i want food .. the 1 shake im having during the day after fasting 14-20 hrs is not enough. Just 2 more days tho, then i can a proper meal for breakfast.

I am thinking of eaitng more food today so i can get a squat PR tmr. I haven't got a squat PR since last saturday so that's concerning..

I think you know the answer when you start talking about dead weight. Not sure it's helping anyone. Maybe an offensive linesman but I'm not sure that's one of your goals  ;D
