Squats the Story MkII- Off topic thread

Mellor

Not in Dublin. In Sydney.
It's the top side of the pinky knuckle. So not much tissue there other than the affected ligament and tendon. It's not hugely sore but mobility (vending finger back) is affecting my training.

After two months my finger is still broken and now I think I've torn(not completely) my calf muscle and while I was in the hospital I think my thyroid went totally hyper I got completely jittery and everything when into complete overdrive.

I think I'll hibernate until next year or at least until I can walk again:(

Probably not, my thyroid has gone quite loopy this year, and there were other things happening that are hyper related rather than magnesium related.

Added split squats to my routine yesterday, bent down to tie my shoe lace today and could barely get back up :pac:

Its actually a great exercise and will hopefully help me bring my weaker leg up to par

seems legit...

true tho.

golf balls are a source of protein too probably. doesn't mean I want to base my meals around them.

Golf balls (tm) part of a healthy diet, now with added rubber. The professionals choice when it comes to losing weight. (may help slimming as part of a calorie controlled diet)

To get my 180g of protein I would need to eat 52 slices of bread which would have 4524 calories, 50 grams of sugar and 23 grams of salt

Myself and the OH are renovating our new house at the moment.I took my first week off training this year and ate nothing but chinese takeaways, pizza and beer.

I gained 6kg, lost my visible abs under a layer of fat and I feel fantastic!

Looking forward to going back to training today to grind it all off

Why bother when you could just put more bread on the bread. #AthleticPerformance

Blend the bread and add some flour.

Protein up, hassle down.

Does the Energie Fitness ad annoy anyone else? Lifting = brutish, aggressive, crazy, abnormal; Cardio / weight machines = normal;

Probably overthinking it!!

For those of you that make burgers using turkey mince, how much mince do you buy for just yourself? I bought half a pound which made 4 turkey patties, is that too much for dinner when fat loss is the goal?

JJayoo

Turkey mince is a very lean source of protein. Horse it in.

The answer is maybe.

It's all about total kcals per day, not individual meals.

conzy

Turkey mince is great stuff!

Had turkey meatloaf today, 400g turkey breast, 25g of oats, 40g of grated cheese, half a tin of tomatoes.. Delicious gains!

756cals
113g protein
24g carbs
18g fat

COH

We use turkey mince as a base for carb free pizza. Excellent stuff

Alf Veedersane

Got a pound of turkey mince...thought about what I'd mix in with it. In the end I stopped faffing about, mixed in nothing and made 2 tasty burgers. Nomnomnom.

Heat_Wave

Wow. Wasn't expecting so many replies! So this is how it's done in "Squats the Story". I should have said I'm female. Anyone know how many kcals (roughly) would be in half a pound?

What are people's thoughts on ketchup for the turkey patties? Only 19kcal per tbsp and 4g sugar.

Saw recently somewhere, possibly on here? a photo of sweet potato thin slices (like crisps), done in the microwave, anyone any idea how these were done?

You saw that on the RevFit page here http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=618504854848963&set=a.462165347149582.109989.450638258302291&type=3&theater

I still havne't figured out how to do it properly.

Stef, the lad that does it has access to what is essentially an industrial kitchen and mosta used some vodoo to make it work.

If anyone DOES figure it out. Please tell me how.

Tried that, didnt work very well

You'd need a mandoline to slice them slowly, a bit of parchment paper so they don't have to be scraped off the plate and you have to check them every 30 seconds or so once they get to 5-6 minutes.

Haven't done them in a long, long time or with sweet potatoes but the principles can't be that different...

Cauliflower pizza base is surprisingly good as well; basically just sautéed cauliflower rice, mozzarella and a beaten egg.

The principle is straight forward, catching them between the burnt-to-hell stage and the soggy stage is the hard part.

Once you see the first brown spots start to appear, stop the microwave and let them rest for a minute. Then just watch like a hawk, only doing them in 20-30s intervals after that.
