Training and diet talk…

Those bars look great STY. 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 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 ????.

👿

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

😯

Here’s what I’ve just done down the gym…
I hope you’ve showered afterwards.

And I thought I was confused before…

The deadlift thing.
each hand
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

A dumbell squat by the sounds of it

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

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

Do tell! The glute exercises my physio gave me still kill my glutes. I want to do KB snatches but when my PT was explaining how to do the last bit (ie above weight height to overhead) i couldn’t get the hang of moving the KB/my arm to the right position. 🙄

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.

Stand up again as per deadlift.

??

Sorry TSY, I’ve never claimed to be Smart

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

I do yes from wrist to elbow. How come?
This is it

That exericse is pretty much a ‘clam’… right?

I do yes from wrist to elbow. How come

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.

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?

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

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.

Hhmmm.

Does that come under Training or Diet
😉

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.

Thank you BS!

Do you want to know what I ended up doing?
