-snip- I personally have scrambled eggs most mornings, as well as a banana. Takes maybe fifteen minutes to make and eat them, and they're delicious. I probably average out to about 4 or 5 eggs a day, and it hasn't killed me yet. Weekends when I have more time to cook/eat, I add bacon. Because then it's REALLY delicious. As a past runner, stretching the calves will help somewhat. Losing weight if you're overweight will REALLY cut down on shin splints, as will staying hydrated. Check out your running form and try to stay off your heels, and then finally check out the shoes. They make a difference, but they're not the biggest factor. It's mostly about the weight and the form. Ahh ok, might go with the eggs then - anyone else have any other options just in case? Yeah from what I remember having too many eggs can become a bad thing, a cholesterol problem? I'm not sure. Thanks for the tips with the shin splints - I think it'll be a combination of weight along with my running style - I think I use my heels a lot... I guess I'll try and stay off them! :D | ||

read this article about the myth of increased cholesterol: http://stronglifts.com/cholesterol-saturated-fat-how-many-eggs-daily/ I have scrambled eggs with bacon for breakfast most days. omelets are also great. or, if you feel adventurous, have a steak or some salmon along with some veggies you can find a few good breakfast recipes here: http://stronglifts.com/breakfast-recipes-fat-loss/ | ||

 Set up again and no luck there either. At that point I'm starting to pack my stuff and get ready to go home.But then some old stubbornness sets in and I refuse to leave without at least equaling my old max. With the help of good old Metallica I get psyched up beyond measure and bam! Nail it. Then I proceed to add another 5kgs to the bar and get the 85kg lift on the second attempt. Now I could leave the gym  | ||

Trying to rest my shoulder for a bit so i did sets of 5 for powercleans today at 70, 80, 90, 95, 100,105. Got 6 at 100 but 2 at 105 lol was murdered by then did triples for backsquat 315,365,385,and 2x405. I could barely do something resembling 2x410 over the summer and here i am knocking out 2x405 full squats relatively easy :D And thats after murdering my hips and what not doing power cleans (damn those were tiring lol) Lower back bothering me again, it was doing pretty excellent for the last few weeks till i cleaned 135kg T_T. Been doing various stretches, foam roalling, and si joint shit so hopefully that will help.

Thanks for the tips with the shin splints - I think it'll be a combination of weight along with my running style - I think I use my heels a lot... I guess I'll try and stay off them! :D I've been eating 3+ eggs with bacon or ground beef every day since about june. Healthy as an ox. For shin splints i find that lots of calf stretching and easing in to your running(add distance slowly) as well as staying off your heels while you run helps a lot.

To create the progression each week I need to put weight on the barbell obviously, but my gym only has 2.5 kg plates. Isn't training with 2.5 kg on one side a bad idea because it causes an uneven balance? We have 1.25kg plates at my uni gym, so that's +2.5kg to a barbell. you don't want to add one 2.5kg plate to one side lol. the oly gym I started at has lower increments in weights. if you can't find 1.25kg plates at your gym you should ask the staff to get some or try to find your own and bring them in like requested... cause if they only have 2.5kg plates that's +5kg to a lift... and well that's a tough increment to make, esp on lifts like bench or press. | ||

Did a light day just to see what my hands would let me do. Squats were fine, deadlifts were fine, I can do pushups as long as they're on my knuckles (which is what I prefer anyways)..all that's a real issue is pressing movements (Bench was a no-no, even as low as 135) | ||

I honestly just took a week and a bit off, iced it + ibuprofen. It's still sore and I don't think I'll be doing presses anytime soon, but I'm glad that I can squat and deadlift again. Time not going to the gym = time I feel fat and lazy | ||
