Even just benching 195 for 3x5 and monday left it suuuuper sore/tender yesterday. Maybe push ups or variants? Restart bench again super light and work up slower? DB bench? Noob advice but DB fly or pull over ? | ||

If someone here enjoys cycling/running/whatever in a non-HIIT way, that shouldn't be discouraged so strongly. | ||

And i'm pretty sure everyone here isn't telling anyone who enjoys steady state cardio to stop. But there is plenty of evidence to support that HIIT is more effective for fat burning and muscle gaining and doing it in a shorter time. | ||

Going on long bikerides/rows isn't going to make your muscle mass fall off, and is fantastic for your cardio. I feel much more fit since I started doing cardio, and will keep long distance biking (100km+) at least twice a week or so in the coming months. If someone here enjoys cycling/running/whatever in a non-HIIT way, that shouldn't be discouraged so strongly. I don't think it is "discouraged so strongly" - I think most cardio related posts go like this: Person 1: Wow I did cardio today and it sucks! My (insert bodypart) hurts so bad and it's boring! Person 2: Yeah I know what you mean, steady state cardio really sucks. I can deal with HIIT though. Person 1: What's hit? Person 2: Interval training, like sprints or hills or stuff. It's a good way to get cardio in in a shorter amount of time, and it's less boring IMO Person 1: wow that sounds way better, I'm going to give that a try now. It's not that anyone discourages steady state cardio, or tells people who enjoy it that they should stop. Hell, I did some today. It's just that most people don't like doing it period, and HIIT is a decent alternative. | ||

 Did Building the Monolith 5/3/1 variation for the six week cycle. Enjoyable workouts and I like the 5/3/1 principles. In terms of adherence I didn't miss a session but wasn't able to get 100 chins in the 1.25-1.5hr window I have to workout in the morning but was for the most part able to hit the prescribed number of reps on all assistance exercises. Did well on eating 4k calories a day for the first three weeks (but not the prescribed 8 eggs and 1.5lb of beef lolol) After three weeks I lost my will to eat and plateaued on bodyweight. The last week I had to use a different gym as the Y closed along with my access to the same scale so that was lame. Starting weight: 177 Ending weight: 185 (Peak was 190! must have been some serious water retention) Measurements: +1 inch on biceps +3 inch around shoulders +3 inch around chest +1ish inch for abdomen, hips, quads +.5ish for calves Biggest noticeable difference for me was shoulders and bis. Pretty happy. In addition to that good stuff, this week and next doing recovery per Layne Norton keeping intensity high but dropping the volume way down. So not sure if this is the way to do it but I've just been warming up and doing a 5/3/1/1/1/1 etc just ascending singles on the main lifts until I feel like I'm nearing max and not getting to close to a likely failure on a single. So was really encouraged to squat a 285 (nothing crazy but close to my lifetime PR of 300x2 which was like 3 years ago...) ohp 140, deadlift 335, and bench 225. Bench was the most surprising as it felt terrible the whole program with some upper back issues but today felt crazy good and each rep going up felt better and better. 225x2 is my lifetime PR like a year ago or so. So the program/consistency have been good to me. Now I just have to keep at it with everything else going on in my life | ||

ANY frozen vegetable with butter in frying pan for a while, add tinned salmon/tuna havent tried carrots yet but these green beans went just fine (with peppers) warming the salmon/tuna in the frying pan makes it very palatable (yeah i used to eat it straight out the tin but that can get icky) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ZDjXJt5.jpg) | ||

I thought the same thing anyway. It looks good and I also liked the corn and tuna mix. | ||

You can easily make tuna spread with it (add butter or mayo, mustard, garlic, diced onions, pepper), and you're pretty much set. Put in the rye bread or in wraps, and it tastes great. You can boil some eggs and crush them, and mix it in the spread too. With plain canned tuna, I like to make some rice or quinoa, scramble two eggs, and toss the tuna into it all, and eat it like that. I add some soy sauce and Sriracha (or chili flakes to taste), but that's personal preference. If you have more time, you can also sautee a couple mushrooms/broccoli/cauliflower and add it in there. I genuinely feel bad for anyone who eats a can of plain tuna without anything to give it flavor. You're unnecessarily making yourself suffer. As for an update to my appendix surgery... Recovery I'd going swiftly. 10 days or so in, I think I'll start cycling in a day or two. Maybe I can try bicep and tricep workouts soon, but I'm still hesitant to try bench press, and deadlift or squat is definitely out of the question. They told me 4-6 weeks of not lifting anything over 10-15 pounds. | ||
