[Closed] Training and diet talk...

Those bars look great STY. Is there a recipe on line somewhere with quantities and some instructions?

Is there a recipe on line somewhere with quantities and some instructions?

Yes. Why don't you type 'home made lentil energy bars' into google? I wonder if you can find the exact picture that TSY used for his post?

Thanks for your "help" 🙄

If anyone cares, it's [url= http://bsinthekitchen.com/homemade-gluten-free-lentil-energy-bars-perfect-for-marathon-runner-fuel-or-grab-go-breakfast-2/ ]here[/url]

Thanks for your "help"

Sorry but I felt sarcasm was necessary. I already looked up the recipe and I was going to put it up then I realised other people should be capable of using the internet search engine google.

oddjob - I went a bit freestyle with the ingredients. With the base of lentils, oats, peanut butter and honey I reckon you can add what you want... the almond flour might be key for the binding process, which I substituted for finely ground almonds.

Not sure what you two have got against them... you seen what commercially available bars look like?

How many glitches on this thread ????.

👿

Not sure what you two have got against them... you seen what commercially available bars look like?

I have nothing against them; though you must admit they do look a bit poo like'. Yes commercially available bars look bad but I don't buy or eat them. I am despite the look of these bars contemplating making some.

Hence why I wrote;

I already looked up the recipe

I sure that word begins with a 'g' and an 'l'?

I'll let you know what they taste like later Alex.

Here's what I've just done down the gym...

It's a modified 300 KB workout.

5 mins warm up on the cross trainier.

25 x V-Ups
50 x snatches (single arm 16kg)
25 x press-ups
50 x swings (single arm 16kg)
50 x burpees
50 x deadlifts (16kg in each hand)
50 x mountain climbers

5 min rest on the cross trainer

3 sets of;

6 death crawls
10 single leg box jumps (each leg)
10 single leg step downs (each leg)
10 Calf raises (each leg)
10 hamstring curls on the swiss ball

Finish off with 25 x hollows, some pull ups and some stretching.

50 x snatches

[i]Here's what I've just done down the gym...[/i]
I hope you've showered afterwards.

And I thought I was confused before...

The deadlift thing.
[i]each hand[/i]
I'm very confused.
I deadlift using along bar with weight at each end.
Its flippin dificult to lift.
You certainly wouldn't be 50x my deadlift.
What are you doing ??.

What are you doing ??.

A dumbell squat by the sounds of it

[i]A dumbell squat by the sounds of it [/i]

Thanks, I'm still none the wiser.

TSY, can you post a link to a Y/T clip demonstrating that exercsie you describe as deadlift. Please.

Why the almond flour TSY?

Solo, i get the KB deadlifts using two, its what i would do if i did them (but not that weight or reps!) 🙂

Edit, after Majorca and no weights for 10days, the first thing that i noticed when i went back to the gym was how much weaker my hamstrings were! Looks like the reading you were doing was right!

Solo - grab a KB or DB in each hand.
Lower to the floor in the same way you would the bar in a deadlift.
Stand up again as per deadlift.

??

Almond Flour - dunno Dirty... it's the recipe.

Edit - I have a new hamstring and glute exercise for you to try...

Solo, like this but with two feet [url= http://kettlebell102.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Kettlebell%20single%20leg%20deadlift ][/url]

I have a new hamstring and glute exercise for you to try...

What exercise did you get given?

I've been advised to do deep front squats holding as heavy a sandbag as possible across my chest. If you're calves aren't flexible enough to get your bum really low... raise your heels on a weight plate.

[i]Stand up again as per deadlift.

[b]??[/b]
[/i]

Sorry TSY, I've never claimed to be [i]Smart[/i]

Anyway, with you now, thanks.

I've just never seen or heard of it with seperate weights in each hand.

Sorry for being so thick.

DG, have you a tattoo on your right forearm ?.

Its for my piriformis muscle...basically lie down on your side, with the leg on the floor slightly bent. Lift the other leg up (heel first) activating only the muscle in your bum - its the only place you should feel any pain when you hold your leg there. After 10 reps, holding for a count of 10-15, its hurts big time...not as much as it did the first time i did them mind you! Holding the bridge for 20 secs and lowering as slowly as i can i.e for 40secs also hurts my glutes (the lowering as slowly as i can bit).

Too tired to get any training in tonight before meeting with my coach so i hope Molgrips isn't going to get in any sneaky training tonight 😀

DG, have you a tattoo on your right forearm

That exericse is pretty much a 'clam'... right?

[i]I do yes from wrist to elbow. How come[/i]

I was reviewing some threads and the picture you posted of yourself riding in a group, popped up.
Thought I saw a shadowy marking on that arm and thought I'd ask.

[img] [/img]
/p>

What tyres for forearm ?.

TSY, yes like a clam but with straight leg. Simple but effective.

Solo, the photo of me racing in this thread?

What tyres for forearm ?.

Some guy got run over on the dual track at chicksands this weekend... took a tyre to the face through his full facer! 😀

[i]Solo, the photo of me racing in this thread?[/i]

Not sure which thread now, I've seen a few today.
Its a rear quarter shot from over your left shoulder, if that helps.

Iz confused about straight leg, bent leg.

DG, you need a road themed tattoo on the other arm.

Are you going to design her one?

I'm seriously thinking about inking my calves.

[i]I'm seriously thinking about inking my calves. [/i]

Hhmmm.

Does that come under [i]Training[/i] or [i]Diet[/i]
😉

Ummm... both have helped me to have awesome gunz.

Are you going to design her one?

I would not be at all confident of making it past the initial tender.

Have to say my homemade energy bars are a success.

I'm going to up the peanut butter and honey content next time and remember to melt the choc-chips but other than that... really good.

Made 16 good sized bars after I'd trimmed off the outside edges and stuffed my face.

you need a road themed tattoo on the other arm.

Heh, its not actually a mtb themed one - the flower is a lotus flower, linked to yoga and some other personal stuff. I want a second one but have no inspiration for designs, been toying with using the flower and swirls for one but i can't fit in getting inked until post racing season!

I think i might try your bars TSY...do they taste nice? Not planning on eating them during rides but pre gym / ride might be good.

My training has gone out of the window this week after 2 nights of hardly any sleep due to stressing about things 🙁

but have no inspiration for designs

I can send you a picture?

They do taste good... essentially they'll taste like whatever you put in them!

Sounds like you should've trained more to get the stress out of your system!

I've cocked up my training a little by doing too much the last couple of days. I'm now faced with a lunchtime session that is going to hit muscles that are already aching 🙁

2 nights of hardly any sleep due to stressing about things

training has helped me sleep during probably the most difficult time in my life. In fact it has become a massive release for all the stress I am currently living through. Though I am still not sleeping great.

For the Gluten Free Lentil Energy Bars - here is the original recipe:

Thank you BS!

[i]Ummm... both have helped me to have awesome gunz. [/i]

😆 😆

Do you want to know what I ended up doing?

Glitechy, glitch, glitch.

So while we wait for the hamsters to come back from striking against public sector cuts.

[img] [/img]

[i]Do you want to know what I ended up doing[/i]

Isn't this the [s]look at me thread[/s] Training and Diet talk thread ?.

Of course we want to know....

Right then...

After a warm up on the cross trainer I did...

3 x
12 squats wearing a weighted vest and holding a sand bag across my chest
8 body weight chin ups - concentrating on keeping core rigid.

2 x
10 cable hip extensions each leg (leg moving backwards)
10 knee raises each leg
10 explosive jumps to pull up wearing a weights vest
10 barbell roll outs
10 cable axe swings (I think that's the name)

3 x
10 hamstring glute raises
12 bodyweight rows
15 hollows

2 x
10 seated hamstring curls each leg
10 seated leg extensions each leg

2 x
10 hip abductor and what ever the opposite move on the machine is called.

I might ditch the tabata running session tonight.

[i]I might ditch the tabata running session tonight.[/i]

Crikey ! 😯

It must really be a double dip recession.

Come on TSY, stick with it.
You'll turn to lard if you stop now.

I don't think I can Solo... I think I need to rest.

[i]I don't think I can Solo... I think I need to rest.[/i]

I don't think I can Solo... I think I need to rest.

what will all the groupies say if this happens?

Nothing they'll have their mouth full.

[i]what will all the groupies say if this happens?[/i]

" Oooo !, theres that TSY.
He use to have great gunz"

[i]Nothing they'll have their mouth full.[/i]

What, carrying your news papers back from the newsagent.

his calf tats used to show the super definition of his calves.

😆

went boxing last night mostly lots of press ups and punching bags whilst getting shouted at by an angry man. I ate a sarnie for dinner and lentil soup for tea along with some fruit.

Today I have eaten a haricot bean salad and a bowl of porridge for breakfast. Some fruit and a cup cake.

Going riding tonight.

Hopefully my calves will soon develop into well defined sculptures of flesh; similar to how TSY used to be.

alex222 - maybe I should take a picture of them now before they turn into little sticks?

I completed what I started on Monday and did a full sprint tri in the gym this morning, run completed in 23:10 after opting to start at 5min/km pace and negative splitting all the way to the end.

Held enough back to do a Tabata session on the rower 🙂

I feel ruined now, but strangely alive, buzzing in fact. I love endorphins.

i skipped the gym this morning

*is eating chocolate whilst typing*

I'm going to read that as you did lots of skipping at the gym this morning and then we can still be friends... ok?

nope, i woke up and decided to get back into bed and play on the iPod instead of going to the gym, i'm eating chocolate 'Jazzies'.

i did however spin yesterday morning with quick set of weights before hand, then ride last night.

instead of no gym over the weekend i'm going to head to the gym tomorrow and do more weights than i'd normally be able to fit in before work to make up for it, then ride in the afternoon.

you're lucky i still count you as a friend after ditching tomorrows ride for going up north! 😈 BEARDS AND OPINIONS!

[i]I'm going to read that as you did lots of skipping at the gym this morning and then we can still be friends... ok? [/i]

TSY.
You'll never silence those accusations of having favourites, with posts like that.

My gym membership has recently expired.
So ner.

Phil's no where near close to BarnsleyMitch, he knows this.

You, yourself, are sliding down the charts for not crafting so many posts that look like poems.

Phil - I'm told they're all dead friendly like, oop North.

TSY, Phil and Grips.

TSY.
No need to tease.
I know I'm unpopular and that most, if not all here, dislike me.
But.
I've no where else to go.

Due to the rain and how freezing it was last night, i opted out of the chaingang and did 1hr 10mins of intervals on the turbo. The intervals were at TT effort. My legs were most unhappy with me after it. 👿

Today i should get my training plan *excited and apprehensive*

You could [i]try[/i] being more likeable?

"I completed what I started on Monday and did a full sprint tri in the gym this morning, run completed in 23:10 after opting to start at 5min/km pace and negative splitting all the way to the end."

so you did a 750m Swim then a 20km bike before the run ??? Cool

What do you do about the transition... does the gym not mind you jumping on a bike went wet?? Bet you get some funny looks off the ohter punters

[i]You could try being more likeable?[/i]

Wow, like what a strategy that is.
I'd never have thought of it...
😉

Doh !.

On first reading I thought he started the tri on Monday and finished it this morning.

[i]does the gym not mind you jumping on a bike went wet?? Bet you get some funny looks off the ohter punters[/i]

The bike can be a bit moist after I've finished.
But I carry a small towel in the gym and wipe down anything I've left perspiration on.
I'm considerate like that.
😉

Oh, and i have decided i'm going to make an extra effort to only eat fruit/veg that's in season.

What were your other splits?

Ro5ey... that's right 🙂

I just wear a tri-suit. Dry myself off as best I can then get sweaty again.

I'm sure that some people think it a bit odd... but I don't much care. There are more serious triathletes down there than me.

Also, I did a Tabata running session last night... that's a bit special 😯

i hope you all realise that TSY is actually a bit of a chubby funster? in the same way he pretends to be a girl called sammie louise on the dating threads, he pretends to be super fit on the diet and training threads....

copying and pasting from various fitness blogs to pretend like he knows what he's talking about!

ask him to post a photo, he wont and he'll pull out the old "yetis are shy creatures" line again.... 👿

*Phil drops out the top 10*

[i]Oh, and i have decided i'm going to make an extra effort to only eat fruit/veg that's in season.[/i]

DG.
What is your source for finding what in or out, wrt to seasonality ?.

Thats a pretty comprehensive and non friday-stylee dishing Mr Phil.
Although I did find the Sammie-Louise thing a bit strange.

Anyway, lead by example Phil....
C'mon, post a recent one.

[img] [/img]

i have a jawline, thats proof i'm super sexy yes? 😆

Oh go on then...

[img] [/img]

What is your source for finding what in or out, wrt to seasonality

dirty - does fruit ever grow seasonally in Scotlandshire?

[i]have become so used to being able to buy things all year round that the rest i have no idea when its in season.[/i]

This is my situation.

Yes, google will help, I was just being a bit lazy.
😳

[i]dirty - does fruit ever grow seasonally in Scotlandshire? [/i]

Thats the next question.
Does one select veg not only on seasonality, but wrt geographic location.

Also, is this decision [i]food miles[/i] based ?.

EDIT:

[img] [/img]
/p>

TSY.
How come you getting a lift from that girl ?.
Aren't you fit enough to ride your own bike ?.
😉

told you.... chubby funster! 😆

its embarrassing when he visits as he can't even fit through the patio doors
