 no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3368 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | thosebananas said: I have dropped 15 kilos and maintained increased lifts on a keto diet over about 8 weeks before. This is slightly different. I was 135 in december, in an attempt to get stronger as fast as possible I have ended up as 152 about 14-16 weeks later. I'd say its 70:30 fat:muscle. I was still fat before so have plenty to loose. I felt best when I was 115 about 2 years ago and was pulling 275. So it can and will work.  Sounds good! Go get'em. | ||

 I thought Joplin choked on a sandwich? Member 616, 8404 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 220530.0 kgs @ 78.8kgs UnEq | I don't mean for this to sound as horrible as it probably does but just saw your fb pics from ulsters and dropping a few kg is a good thing to do and I wish you the best. It will no doubt make you sexier Also why doesn't everyone paint they're equipment gold for a comp | ||

It was weird doing yoke and not being confident to go faster as it was slippy. was like walking on ice with 360kilos on your back. strange. cross was fine, the weight wasnt too bad feeling on pick up etc, i stumbled backwards on the slippy mats and my hands opened, once they opened i was doomed. stones didnt happen as it was 3 degrees and no ones tacky was working and the stones were in the rain all day so were probably more. winner got 2 i think. | ||

Trophy Hunter Member 743, 3329 posts SQ 230, BP 130, DL 300660.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Weighed in at 149.6kg. Down 2kg since Wednesday. Happy with that considering the diet hasnt been super strict yet just a little bit stricter. full diet and cardio/weights program starts tomorrow. Rehab day of sorts 10mins bike stretching 30mins cross trainer Also acquired a 30kg weighted vest. Plan to walk the dog a few mornings a week on an empty stomach. 30mins - 45mins sorta deal. | ||

Trophy Hunter Member 743, 3329 posts SQ 230, BP 130, DL 300660.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Tiring night shift lead to s**t in the gym. Hang snatch 40kg x3 50kg x3 60kg x3 70kg xf, xf, x1 - prob the best and easiest snatch I've ever done. Was literally falling asleep so left it there, going to get 4-6 hours kip now, have a big meal then go back in and finish off clean+jerk and high bar squats. On a good note, I got my sponsored athlete kit from the gym today. Free tshirts and hoodies are always good! | ||
