Some good consistency in here Michael, nice work.

How many days a week do you normally train? What does your pre and post WO nutrition normally consist of?

Pre workout is a 25g soy protein shake with water about 20 minutes before workout.
Post workout is my dinner which is Potatoes or rice or whole wheat pasta with different variety of vegetables and a big piece of seitan,tempeh or tofu. As dessert, at about 30 minutes post workout i take again a 25g soy protein shake with almond or soy milk.

I've just switched from a soy shake to pea protein, had been using soy for about a year. I've never tried seitan or tempeh before, where do you normally buy that from? Thanks MF.

they are in the mock-meat section of any health food store.

tempeh is fermented soy--the healthiest, most digestible form of soy out there
seitan is wheat gluten, and is very high in protein and resembles the texture of meat

Thanks, I'll have a look next time I'm in my local one. Hope you're having a great week MF.

Am I reading that right ~ 205 pushups? Damn !!

I usually do mine in blocks of 50 reps split over 4 sets with about 10secs between each set. 20 reps/15 reps/10 reps/5 reps. Gets the chest pumped up, good to do before I head out somewhere haha.

MF, i'm doing just pushup workout now because my dumbells and bars are on my first floor and i have no heating there. since it's freezing and snowing for some time now i don't train in that cold. i just do different positions pushups downstairs where it's a nice temperature
i do aim to doing more amount because to me it gives a really good feeling.
