I'm going gluten free for the while, been gluten free for a few days and seemingly bowels are picking up which is interesting
Preview off the diet?
MEAL 1:
Oats - 120g
Toast - 2 slices
Eggs - 4 whole eggs
MEAL 2:
Chicken Mince - 200g
Pasta - 150g
Spinach on the side
MEAL 3:
2 scoops whey protein - 50g
MEAL 4:
Lean Beef Mince - 200g
White Rice - 1.5 cups
Spinach in the side
MEAL 5:
2 scoops whey protein - 50g
MEAL 6:
Chicken Mince - 200g
Pasta - 150g
2 apples
Due to bowel damage, I have opted to chose gluten free pasta and bread as well as a blend of pea+hemp protein instead of whey, which still has a good complete amino acid profile and we get some extra fibre in there too.
My routine is:
Day 1:
-Leg press 5x12
-Close grip bench 4x8
-Close grip cable rows(focus on squeeze) 5x12
-paused dumbell fly 4x12
-Dumbell shrug 3x15(focus on squeeze)
Day2:
-Chest press machine 3x15
-Lat pull down or assisted pull ups 5x12
- Leg extension 5x12(last 2 sets paused at top)
-hammer curl 4x12
-barbell curl 5x10
-dumbbell skull crushers 4x10
-Rope pushdown 5x15
Day3:
-Hamstring curl 5x15(paused at top)
-Adductor machine 4x30
-one leg leg press, 4x12 (4 second descent, for time under tension)
-incline dumbbell bench 4x10
-side lateral raise 5x12
-Standing calf raise 8x20
-Seated calf raise 8x10
Day4:
-Barbell row 3x12
-shoulder press 4x8
-Facepull 4x20
-Ab wheel 5x15
-Dumbell curl 4x12
THE_COACH did not send me this routine rather it is one I produced myself. I opted to stay away from squats and deadlifts although I love them due to the injury potential atm due to low muscle tissue in the posterior chain+ my back injuries; I have out of place spine segments so any compression forces etc could really screw me up right now.
With Powertard I realised the bulk of his problems are largely psychological. Thus in scheduling things with him my concern was finding something he could stick to. I gave him 2 free cheats a week for reprieve, but compressed to a certain time frame. Outside of that, I intend to create a system of routine/habit for him to help with consistency.
^indeed, Coach has even thought so far out side the box as to have me on minced meats rather than breasts/steaks etc so it is easier for me to weigh out and stuff as he caught onto my OCD tendencies
Pretty much/all my issues in my life are caused by my psychological problems...well not so much that but the fact I am manipulated by the people around me into self destructing lol
Been sticking to coach's plan apart from yesterday where I had a quest bar because I ran out of protein powder but I took some pasta out of my M3 to make up for it.
Rode my bike 5 miles today
Changing the bread I'm using. it has psyllium husk in so it'll screw me up more so I'm changing it.
Was doing okay. Started benching close grip 80 kg for sets of 12 and stuff
Unfortunately bowels have played up once again :( not digesting at all, feel all weak
drinking acv and taking bicarb of sooddaaaa
ACV is working it seems! tsp in a lot of water lots of fluids and just riding it out! :)
Woke up today and I was not bloated for the first time in a LONG time!!!!! :)
Happy :)
trust the coach, he is amazingQuote:

Argh lol bowels aren't working still
Going to Drs today to get professional help hopefully some inpatient stuff to at least get my bowels working and hopefully some type of mental health shit to get me back on track

We are usng coconut oil now and it seems to be working! Today they seemed to function mostly normally for the first time in a long time and it was the best feeling in te world!
Been referred to IP! :) sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy
Hoping to get this squared away; obviously there are mental reasons as to what drives me to do this to myself, it must be some type of self esteem problem
I spoke to this 28 stone guy today at a market stand and I asked him what it was like to be like it and he said "It is absolutely horrible. you feel like you are 80. I have no energy my joints hurt I don't sleep well. it got to the point where I could not even walk 80 yards."
He got that way because he was a rugby player on a 4000+ calorie diet fit muscle weight 22 stone and then got tackled injured and just kept eating the same if not more because he was sat at home depressed, his muscle mass wasted off and he gained a ridiculous amount of fat in a few months. He said it is a living hell and the only thing that stops him from topping himself is the fact he has a wife and kids and it makes his days worthwhile.
I treat this as a forewarning
