Today I removed my 10am shake and replaced it with half of my 1pm lunch, left out ON's Serious Mass and had a couple of scoops of Gold Standard whey in a about 300ml of semi skimmed lactose free milk.
For the first time in a long time, I've had a growling stomach, genuine hunger pangs and a ravenous appetite.
Markedly, this is a good thing, though rather unsurprising since I've ripped a good 900 calories out of my day and reduced the portion sizes of my meals some what. Meal frequency has however stayed the same.
I'm yet to eat tea, but am already very, very hungry (finished the last dregs of my shake about 1.5 hours ago).
Training wise today was legs and shoulders, using mostly free weights and compound movements in a HIIT style of workout - 1 minute work time, 30 second rest time, 5 rounds, total time per exercise a rather daft 8 minutes.
I hit squat first, played it safe and loaded up 50% of my 1RM, convinced I'd piss through it.
Half way through round three, I actually wanted to throw up.
I wanted to stop.
I didn't though, refusing to re-rack the bar, I stood with it until I got my breath back and then dug deep to find the extra energy to keep going.
Utter. Murder.
This set the tone for the rest of the sessions. Rep after rep, sweat everywhere and a stubborn refusal to give in.
On the plus side after an hour I was done to the point I could only just about dead lift 50kg off the floor, and certainly with no elaborate frequency...normally on a Monday I'm in for 2.5 hours plus, and it was nice to crawl home early.
Aching a little already, surprisingly in my calf's, abs and obliques.
