Here's an interesting one. I'd normally have soya milk for breakfast but for the last few weeks I hadn't been mad hungry in the mornings so had just had fruit or an oat bar if anything. I started taking it with my weetabix again yesterday morning though and straightaway I felt my stomach get bloated, and it's the same today - it's seriously uncomfortable
I think I might be best cutting soya milk out completely, although then I'm losing out on the extra protein too which isn't great..
It's funny how you never notice these things til you cut them out for a while! I wonder if that had anything to do with my weight doing down recently, my stomach has definitely felt alot flatter the past few weeks too.
Not much stiffness from the squats yesterday, the wider stance is definitely helping, they feel way more steady and alot stronger. I figure it'll start hitting me once I get on to the third day though, there's a big difference between 45kg x 9 and 55kgx9! I used 93% of my 1rm to work out the increments but the only annoying thing is I'm going up in uneven numbers; yesterday was meant to be 46kg, but there aren't any .5 plates so I had to leave it at 45, and going to have the same prob over next few weeks with the likes of 56/61/69/71. I figure 1kg won't make much odds though!0 -
I follow a couple of health/nutrition related blogs which I think are pretty decent, one of them being http://thehealthyskeptic.org/. He references his work pretty throughly and here is are a couple of articles that he has writtten about soy http://thehealthyskeptic.org/the-soy-ploy and http://thehealthyskeptic.org/soy-foods-associated-with-lower-sperm-countsHere's an interesting one.

One thing that I will say is that you have eliminated 2 things from your breakfast ie weetabix and soya milk and re-introduced both at the same time so I think that it is fair to say that it could be either of those foods that are causing you problems. Would you try and eat only one of them tomorrow (ie weetabix or soya milk), that way you could see what kind of reaction you are having to each particular food?0 -
Aye, only thing is that I've had weetabix with rice milk with no problems in the past so I don't think that's it...that's why I automatically assumed it was the soya milk.Red Cortina wrote: »I follow a couple of health/nutrition related blogs which I think are pretty decent, one of them being http://thehealthyskeptic.org/.

Conditioning is great and all but surely when running a specialisation programme you want to cut back on the other stuff, especially anything that might hurt your performance in the main lift, such as repetitive hip hinging and running....
I actually asked Will about this last week, and he made a pretty good point, which was that if I'm not having recovery problems(which I'm not as yet) then sureI've no reason not to do it Everyones different. If it does start having an effect then I'll look at it then.
Sure I had people telling me not to run Smolov and CP together too but that's going grand so far. My trainings always been pretty high volume so I don't think it'll have much of an effect. My plan at the mo is 3 Strength Days and 1 Conditioning day.0 -

Exactly.
I'd say i've trained 40 out of the last 50 days, and only one side of my body has shut down.0 -

Bingo. Everyone's so concerned with over training that they don't realise you can force your body to adapt to the volume.0 -

Reminds me of the stuff I have read on adding conditioning when you have only trained for strength.
They all talk about loosing strength when you start but then getting it back as you get used to it.
But if you have been doing it all along, why would it suddenly start affecting you?0 -

Wasn't in the mood for this today, still feeling sh!!te, but a bit of a slaggin got me to the gym...
Coan Phillipi Week 4
Deadlift
60kgx5
70kgx5
80kgx3
A moan to COH about how I couldn't lift more than 80kg..
Then
95kgx1
107.5kgx2 Rep PR
Speed DLs
90kgx1
80kgx3
80kgx3
80kgx3
80kgx2/1
Speeds were a load of sh!te, were meant to be 90kg 5x3 and I just couldn't lift it. Hurt my lower back somehow and was getting a jolt in it everytime I pulled the bar. Meh.
Circuit x 3x8
SLDL X 60kg
Bent Over Row x 30kg
Inv Rows
GM's x 20kg/30kg/30kg
Was wrecked after that so I was outta there pronto.
I don't know whether to be happy about the PR or annoyed about the stupid speeds. I'll let you know later.0 -
