Greedy Bens Log Of Eatings And Attempted Powerlifting

I thought I would start a new log to track my eating and my lifts with it being January and all.
Hardly doing any SM stuff at the moment and generally only have time for two proper workouts a week until April when I will have 3 (Yippee!).
Old log here

Best lifts so far

Squat 200kg

Deadlift 245kg

I've only done one gym comp and still yet to do a proper comp (have had a singlet in my wardrobe in wrapping for over 2yrs I think).

I haven't trained since before Christmas and won't be doing anything this week as my mrs is ill so we are off to a good start...

Here comes the excuses, I was up for work at 0340 and got woken up at half 1 by my daughter crying (she is ill too now aswell as mrs ffs) so hardly a great nights rest.
I finished work nice and early as I was spare and everyone else turned up for work so was out the door at 8am.
I had my burger at 7am and then pre wo porridge at 0750.
Got to the gym at 9am. As soon as I started skipping it was hard work..
Squats felt really heavy and the last rep of each set was a grind, a couple of rushed reps on my 3rd set after not getting tight enough left my right ham sore. Rubbed it a bit and rolled it a bit and carried on.
Had to break outy new Big Ben nose napalm as I was massively flagging and ate a banana to get me through the last two sets..

Bench was ok, first set went up fine despite feeling a bit odd, breathing wasn't right and feeling rather nauseous by now.
Last set I used the nose napalm again a pissed it with the weights clinking on the bar at lock out each rep.

I then 'flossed' my right ham as Kelley Starret calls it using an oly bar in the squat rack, it was horrible but felt an improvement.

Deads I was weary of damaging my ham so stuck at 180, by the 3rd set I could feel my form had gone to shit and my legs wobbling all over so sacked them off and did some RDL's.

Stretched out and got in Tonys sauna which was nicely toasty at 110 deg! Didn't stay in it as long as I was still feeling nauseous.
Weighed myself before and I was 89.1! so lost weight over xmas and emerged steaming ridiculously at 88.5kg!!!

I then polished off the GU milkshake that I couldn't resist while picking up some bits in Sainsburys

Hopefully the leg is ok next week, if not my bench could always use more work
Will update food later on, so far it's been

Breakfast - 200g steak mince burger
Pre wo - 60g oats & ~250ml skim milk
Intra wo - banana & handful of cashews
Post wo - 1l GU milkshake

 

Lunch was 3/5's of a 5 egg omlette again with onion, tomato, spinach & parmesan.
I made a juice thing too with a tangerine, a kiwi, 4 heads of brocolli, a thumb of ginger, handful of blueberries, 6 cranberries, a bit of water, a few ice cubes and a scoop of creatine. Wasn't horrible. Wasn't great either but mildly more enjoyable than water!

Dinner is going to be about 250g steak mince with garlic, fresh chillis, onion and some basmati rice with a bit of evoo.

 

Massively sore this morning esp glutes and vmo, pecs starting to get sore this evening too.

Lunch - 3/5 of a 5 egg omlette with onion, spinach and 200g steak mince. Struggled eating it.

Today was a write off. Was my daughters 3rd bday party.

Then just ate pizza, three quarters of a £20 m&s sandwich tray, rice crispy cake, 4 x 43g hershey bars, birthday cake etc.

All the crap is getting sling tomorrow and back to clean eating for all of us!

 

Mondays food was ok, stuck to usual stuff but disgusted myself by bin diving to retreive the remaining two Hershey bars I had chucked.
They were worth it.
Yesterday I buckled again and ate 3 bags of crisps and 3 mini kinder bar things, other food was fine though.

 

I've got to ask ... why are you only having 3/5ths of the omlette?
