Tips for healthy eating when living alone?
Ever since I moved out and started working I don't really have time to make myself dinner so I get a lot of takeout from fast-food/deli type of places and I just feel unhealthy/sick of eating shit.
What are some type of meals I can eat that are 1) healthy 2) not much preparation?
Thanks.
What I do is I buy meat (chicken, steak, fish, whatever) and throw it in the fridge. It's so easy to cook because all you have to do is put it on the grill, flip it after 5-7 minutes, and then it's done in another 5 minutes. No work involved. And you don't even have to remember to thaw it. It'll stay fresh in the fridge for a week.
You can get fruits and veggies raw that require no preparation, or buy veggies in a can and just microwave them for a minute. Again, easy prep.

Absolutely mindblowing progress there Malinor. A week of resting will prolly only do you good! Especially after maxing out both on the squat and deadlift *shudders*
Thank you all for the kind words ^^
Now I just need to figure out what to do next...
Keep being huge? CP? Smolov? Work on your jerk/press?

Sick progress man..... may put this in our OP if you want so we can show people what SS can do for them?

Well, kinda.
OT school isn't as long and most OT stuff focuses on more of the limbs especially ergonomic stuff
|
It's a big procedure. Cutting through the back of my neck. 3 months in brace, 6-9 months recovery.
I think the biggest thing is that they are fitting hardware, and they want to keep everything as it is. I sent an email to him asking if I could maintain my current weights.

Dear lord. I can't imagine being out of commission for 9+ months. I'm so addicted to rugby and lifting i would probably go into depression. But i'm sure its a helluva lot better in the long run than not getting the surgery so good luck!

That looks beautiful. I'd love to hike somewhere similar this summer.

hey guys, working in France for two months. About to start SS :D Got a few questions:
-I work from 6 in the afternoon to 2 at night. This is a huge change in sleep schedule. How do I get used to this the best/fastest?
- How do I keep my nipples firm? My chest looks way, way better when it's a little chilly outside, but it's in the 100's up here.
- After crossfit I'm sore for about 3-4 days. Does this mean I can't combine SS with Crossfit?
Thanks in advance!

Sick progress malinor! I thought you were way past SS lifting as much as you do  .

On sleeping, you just have to force yourself into it. If you're not tired at night when you want to go to sleep, don't get up and do something, stay there, lie awake if you have to. Couple nights of this will go a long way. As always for quality sleep, be in a cool dark silent room. Maybe look into magnesium supplements, they've done a hell of a lot for quality of sleep for me.
On the second part, I have NO Idea.
Finally, you can mess with the SS program all you want, but if you do it simply won't be SS anymore, it'll be whatever you make out of it. Typically adding things only slows your recovery and therefore progress on the main lifts, but if big numbers aren't what your going for in the first place that may be OK.

Yyup I raped my recovery for today haha. Done a little squat practice and pressed the bar abt 7 times.
Twinge is back. Most prominently it was a snap like there was something trapped on the way down.
If I held my wrist with more coerect form, ie straighter to my formarm, then it didn't happen
Had a lot of good help from a guy:
Will work on hamstring flexibility

Well, the plan is to do it all :D
I think the order will be something like working on weak points (chest+lats) and pressing -> smolov -> CP. That I think will keep me good until November if I got the patience. And hopefully put up some good numbers then.
Such a nice view Haji!

Are you fucking kidding me malinor? Absolutely mind blowing numbers. Keep being awesome dude (and get a camera ffs i wanna see your squat in action )
Went hiking today as well. Weather was pretty bad but it was fun nonetheless. Next week im gonna attempt 180kgx5 deadlift and then lay low until next wednesday (going to vienna and party it up!)
Gl on your surgery frodac

I pretty much agree with sJarl heh.... most of the presurgery stuff the docs want you to strengthen your muscles because they atrophy after the surgery. That's pretty odd tbh

Eating helps reset circadian rhythm the fastest so eat when you normally should have breakfast lunch and dinner on the new schedule and that should help
Uhhhh yeah.... nutrition is the key to the fat loss and/or muscle gain so... there ya go
Do not combine SS with crossfit. It's a bad idea

This thread's hard to keep up with. I go away for a weekend and 7 pages to read...
Crazy numbers Malinor. How much weight did you gain in that time?
Froadac, my friend who had scoliosis had a metal bar across his chest to keep pressure from his ribs off his lungs and heart. He only had it in for a few months. After about 6 months he was able to ease back into his training routine (mma type stuff). I'm not sure how similiar it is to your surgery but it will be tough for a while. Just make sure to keep your head up through it and you'll be right.
Haji that's a sick view. I'm currently checking out walks to do after I'm done with exams this semester. There's a couple of multi-day walks I'm thinking of doing (about 90 km). Also, my plan is to not use a car or public transport for at least a week during my month long break. Only a bike and my legs. Goal is to walk the 22km to my gf's on one of those days. And then back again the next day!
@Boubou. I use ice to keep my nipples firm during warm weather. Alternatives are frozen peas and also bottles of beer.
