SO tired after a long day but gave it death and looking forward to smashing these numbers next week.

at the beginning of next week i will be joining a new gym with a new training partner sharing the same goals (bigger stronger) he is also alot stronger than me which is great as it will motivste and push me even more for progression! will also be adding in deadlifts when joining this new gym as it has alot more equipment and room allowing me to do so without crawling over people and waiting for plates!..

Diet, abit strange but here we go -
Meal -
1- 130g tuna, 2 wholemeal toast, lettuce, 1 banana, 2 scoops whey
2- cnp meal replacement
3- 250g chicken, 100g rice, spinach
4- 2 scoops whey
5- 250g chicken, 100g rice, spinach, lettuce, 10 grapes, 1 banana
6- 2 scoops whey
7- cnp meal replacement

I know theres alot of liquid meals.. but... .. . i do what i can.. most of the time i dont have time to p:@@ so sitting down to eat meals most of the time is out of the question.

[J_Byrd]

lots of work going on, hope you enjoy the new gym and training partner.

[BendtheBar]

New gym sounds good Dan. Like the deadlift addition. And always good to have a decent training partner. They are hard to find.

SO tired after a long day but gave it death and looking forward to smashing these numbers next week.

Gave it heck. Well done.
