The strongman training is brutal but not in the weight department. Everything is just so damn awkward! Tyre flipping and hitting it with a sledgehammer is so great for conditioning. The meet I think is in 2 weeks. now for some eggs, bread and a huge shake for dessert. Haha I mean, I didn't get her number... Foreverdumb. Have you done atlas stones yet? Those look like the most awkward thing in the world. And I think I'm just going to be doing tire flips and pulls - not so much sledge hammer work. Unless I have a random sledgehammer around here. After all, I'll be doing my 4x/week routine in addition to the tire work.
Done two sessions of atlas stones. So. Much. Fun. Although you get serious bruises on your forearms lol.

90 kg deadlifts this morning. They were the toughest lifts I've done ever. I can't wait to get to 100kg though (triple digits. f'yeah!). Depending how I'm feeling may attempt it on thursday next week. If not tuesday the week after.

Thinking the lack of calories is finally affecting my lifts a little bit.
Still waiting for my camera to take some update pictures, hopefully Ill have that soon. Aren't you cutting like hardcore? Probably won't be able to put up numbers like before lol.
Yeah, I cut even lower a couple days ago since my wedding is fast approaching, I just hate watching all my lifts go downhill and always being hungry. Makes me sad

Hans-Titan day 2 Atkins diet + cardio
YESTERDAY - DAY 1 Yesterday was easy, lots of veggies and no more than 20 carbs clocked in.
DIET Stuck to my diet and it wasn't very hard. It felt awkward frying bacon when you're on a diet though.
Breakfast: 3-egg omelette with veggies. 4g carbs Lunch: Chicken salad with cucumber, tuna, celery and 3 small tomatoes. 10g carbs. Snack: Cucumber and pepper sticks with mayo dressing. 2g carbs Dinner: Chicken, bacon and iceberg salad with mayodressing. Nothing, maybe 1g from Iceberg salad.
EXERCISE Biked some 30km as I got lost in Copenhagen. Not all can qualify as cardio, as I guess 10km was me strolling about. Football for 45 minutes. Killed me, really did. I'm not a great player so I make up for it by running alot, and I was superhard to maintain that throughout the game. Despite us losing, it felt good to play with friends again.
TODAY - DAY 2 Woke up feeling like utter shit and despite postponing my wakeup call for an hour and drinking tons of water my head still feels weird. From what I gather this is perfectly normal on day 2 on an Atkins diet - it takes around 48 hours for the body to enter ketosis and once the body runs out of carbs to energize on it will crave them like mad. I just ate a healthy breakfast, but the hunger hasn't completely disappeared - time to show what you're made of, Hansi-boy! School starts in 45 minutes, but if stuff doesn't improve I might as well leave during recess,
DIET Breakfast: 3 eggs scrambled with parmesan, 3 sticks of bacon, 1 chicken breast and ½ cucumber. 4g carbs total. Lunch: Chicken salad in cantina. This shit is just good, cheap and they have everything needed in order to maintain an Atkins diet. No need to not do it. Snack: Fruit is not really allowed or it's only in very small amounts, so I guess we're back to some veggie sticks. Dinner: Salmon with something. I loooove salmon and I need a treat to look forward to, in order to get through the day.
EXERCISE Considering that this is supposedly the hardest day in the diet, imma take it easy. Maybe ½ an hour of slow bikeriding to get some fresh air + go shopping.
OUTLOOK Still optimistic and I belive I can do it. Posting here really helps!

Hans-Titan: the atkins diet, once you deplete your carbohydrate storages, is renowned for the poor effect it has to maintain any significant intensity in exercises. I did a ketosis diet for a few months last year and I could not even run or jog. Even doing a set of pullups made me feel extreme fatigue.
you should definitively stick to slow bike riding or power walking for cardio imo. judging from my own experience

managed to finally pick myself out of that fuckup

oh lol i figured it out. sorry i just woke up  so i was using too wide a grip coz i was focusing on LATS too much

err.. your lats?

videos for a proper chinup / pullup?
Can't really tell a difference between them
|
Been hitting that upper body while my silly knee is recovering. Bodyweight stable @ 75 kg.
Highlights: Bench press 3x5 102,5 kg. Dips 3x5 +40 kg. Pullups 3x5 +32 kg.
Very happy with these numbers, but there's still room for improvement 
Apart from these exercises + press and ab stuff, can anyone think of exercises I can do? Legs can't be involved at all!!

Nice specific goals! Once you reach them, you should try getting back to 150 lbs, adding muscle along the way

Squat 250 3x5 (form reset is feeling good. I might sit here for a little bit and work on my form some more) Bench 190 5-5-3 (a recent shoulder injury is bothering me) Deadlift 345 5x1 (going to reset down to 250-275 or something, to train myself to keep my lower back tighter, I can feel it rounding)
