mythil Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Oh lord I've been farting around way too much as of late, from being ill to injury and just being a little unmotivated here and there. Well for the run up to December and up over the new year I'm going to be much harder on myself. Watch this space for updates as I'll be doing them bit by bit.. Now where is my camera..

mythil Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) A lot of my diet isn't planned, so to speak. I was trying to do that but, erg, I hate planned stuff. I will be juicing a lot of stuff to: A) Get it into my system quickB) Need to cut a bit more weight so why not do it at the same time.. Well it's possibleC) I'm lazy.. I can cook really well but since I eat most vegetables meals raw I might as well just blend it. I will also be taking pea protein isolate and fine oats twice a day.

mythil Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Well there is something going on. I've managed to loose a bit more fat which means some measurements have dropped a little as muscle is slowly replacing fat. However, my upper arms (flexed) have grown by half an inch! Which I am currently enjoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mythil Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Gah I hate pull ups. I think any bodyweight exercise is the bane of my time at the gym. However, I'm using 20kg DB's for chest and shoulders so I might up them a bit, or try and stack the bar heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 eating's the easy bit! agree with you on the pull ups tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythil Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Well back to training proper tomorrow. Christmas and new year have been a real bitch, seeing family, other half, friends and getting stuck on trains for hours... Luckily I've only put on 5lbs over Christmas. My family aren't really up on the vegan thing so I was mostly eating TVP and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythil Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 I changed the workout around a bit. Mostly because I was getting tired before I got to kendo. While I felt great at the gym I was too tired after to be any good. So I took Wednesday out for extra rest time. I do need to loose a little more fat. It's annoying that my stomach (what's left of it) just wont disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Good to see you back in the game !! TVP is a bit rough it's it not cooked well aye, we've got a few brands here and some are good and some are really dry. Much planned for the weekend?

Have you been back in action? -Dylan Yeap, I've had an illness followed by a concussion which didn't help. I'm not sure what to do right now but I'm going to stick with the 5x5 workout. Getting strong bit by bit but not really building much muscle or loosing as much fat as I would like (I'm not fat but my stomach always hangs around removing any definition I may have) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mythil Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Well spending the next few weeks doing more running than lifting.. Oh I'll be lifting I just need some more endurance for my sport as I've been a bit "out of it" as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Very cool, interested to see how you get on. How come you have decided to run more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythil Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Very cool, interested to see how you get on. How come you have decided to run more? Endurance really. I do Wing Chun and Kendo, despite the muscle fatigue (why I don't want BIG arms as it can make your arms more tired in Kendo) it's a very cardio based sport. Lots of long duration fights. Think of it like a HIIT exercise. Fight one guy in a sword fight, move on directly to the next one. By the last few guys I'm so tired my forms totally off. When it comes to the body, right now I would rather bit "fit" and "tight" than big Here's an example of one of the forms of training we do. You end up doing this fast, while shouting and MORE THAN ONCE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5r7vhif1Gs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythil Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 I've soo been neglecting this.. Just been really busy and I have a mind that can only store a handful of things in it.. Anyway, I got a white cane for walking, should help me not fall over in the street and hurt myself so much.. Also I swap my routine around every few months to keep myself interested in what I'm doing. Here is what I'm currently doing MondayPecs Incline Barbell Bench Press 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secPecs Flat Barbell Bench Press 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secPecs Dip 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secPecs Barbell Pullover 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secRunning: 20 minutes TuesdayQuads Barbell Squats 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secQuads Front Barbell Squat 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secQuads Sumo Deadlift 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secHamstrings Barbell Stiff-Legged Deadlift 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secRunning 20 minutes ThursdayDelts Barbell Military Press 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secDelts Barbell Upright Row 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secDelts Barbell Clean and Press 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secRunning: 20 minutes FridayLats Pull-up 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secLats Bent-Over Barbell Row 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secLower Back Barbell Deadlift 15, 8, 8, 6 60-90 secRunning: 20 minutes Add on Wing Chun and Kendo classes that's a lot of activity. I had to give up riding a bike for the reasons at the top of this post.Eating wise, I cracked how to cook shallow fried Tofu though I still prefer Tempeh.. Though I usually drink vegetable/fruit juice for one day, eat normally the next day.. Currently 6 foot, 178 lbs and since it's summer in the UK I'm sweating like a pig.
