Alright folks,

I'vedecided to take the plunge and record a log here with the hope that some may find it useful or possibly even interesting...

Just a few things to note before I go on though

  • I AM NOT A BODYBUILDER, however I do eat a little like one. My goals as speed, strength power and agility at around 80kg.
  • As most of you will know I am also a nutrition (and to a lesser extent coaching) professional, this is my livelihood.
  • I'm busy, my diet and possibly the frequency of updates will reflect this!
  • I'm not perfect either: expect to see the odd 15” pizza and/or glass or two of red wine/bourbon/beer


    As I say I am in the business and as many of you know I work at Healthy Action, James' consultancy. I ask you to remember this as well as the above when commenting on diet and training. The flip side is this can also be construed as an advert and as such well constructed and founded criticism is healthy and invited, flaming is not.

    I get a LOT of PM's from forum members, this is a good place to ask questions as I am not really able to answer them in private email form so, please, any questions just ask away!

    If at any time you want to know more about me, my background and qualifications then you just have to go:

    here to my homepage.

    or

    here to my blog

    Notes and Key

    This I will add to with any information relevant to most of the posts, initials will help with posting speed and thus frequency

    M = meal
    MPC = milk protein concentrate
    PWO = PERI workout – consumed before during and after
    SSCV Steady State Cardiovascular work
    ES = energy systems work
    WOD = workout of the day
    BB'er = bodybuilder

    Drew!

    Nice to see a log.

    Not that anyone needs telling, but Drew knows his stuff inside out - I'm only only 3 weeks into one of his tailored Nutrition Plans and changes are coming along fast.

    Drew, make sure you type down the exact time, type & company you get your super-sized pizza from - I'll take it as authorisation to have one myself.

    Ed.

    Cheers for that Ed.

    The pizza is actually usually just a 'posh' one from tesco's of some such with extra parma ham/choritzo or similar added (well, a man has to get his nitrosamines from somewhere!). I'll post up a recipe for a healthier pizza-pie here at some point in the next few days and link it to the recipes section.

    This will be a great Journal! Drew had concerns about starting it, due to his professional status with me, but I thought it a great idea. Although Drew works in my team, he and I do have slightly different opinions - but that's nutrition for you!

    I'll log in regularly and add my tuppenthworth if neccessary

    My sort of meal!!

    Personally I'm a lettuce, cucumber and red cabbage only man. Onions and tomatoes just ruin it

    It must be fresh shish though... no mystery meat/elephant leg for me!

    Besides the nutritional aspects, could you imagine if a client caught me eating a donna?!?!?Sadly tonight I wasn't able to use my onion breath to my advantage on the mat tonight as clinic ran over.

    My Aikido has taken a real beating whilst I have been getting myself established back in the UK... in fact ever since I moved out to Aus 3 years ago as the style was totally different so everything I did was wrong. I feel like I've been going backwards not forwards for the last 3 1/2 years!

    S'all go though I am still loving it and that is the point - it's to difficult and long a road to do it for any other reason.

    This is a good point, James and I do have some differences in the way we do things. There is often no 'best way' and we're not stuck in our ways but both still learning (i have a little further to go than him!) so it's all good.

    It's worth re iterating that what you see here works for me at the moment and is not what I recommend much of the time

    Cheers Maccer

    yesterday was busy, very busy so it was shakes a go go

    Eatin....

    0730 30g whey with cold green tea, greens powder.

    (Train AM)

    0820: Shake; yogurt, banana, berries, oats, skim milk + krill oil (not in the shake!)

    1045: Shake: MPC, broccoli, diced apple all blended

    1300: On the tube at this time so.... dried berries, walnuts, beef jerky (low sodium) - I always consume these types of meals with lots of water

    (Train lunch then......) Tuna shake!

    1545: Salad: roast veg, beans and quinoa and with sashimi

    I can't get enough of this stuff. It's an expensive habit I am going to have to get a grip on but when I am in the City then there are so many decent places to chose from!

    1800: Large lamb kebab, humus, large salad, no bread. Eaten sloooooooooowly with some Turkish tea (no sugar)

    Totally knackered so I had some DMAE about 20 mins before jumping on the mat.

    (Train 2000-2200)

    2230
    : Shake; MPC, Flax oil, Coconut, Cream (this works out about about 60g protein and 20g fat, 5-10g CHO).

    Tranin'....

    AM: 30 mins weapons

    Lunch: a few olympic drills, Soft tissue work – foam roller. Range of motion work and a quick stretch

    PM Aikido 2 hours

    I got a job lot of krill oil from the states, I'll mail you the address if you like.

    With regards to pictures, I don't have a digital camera (as you may have noted there is only one pic of me on my site and if you google me you'll see I use it for everything) however I don't cut or bulk and am not a 'physique' guy so there is really no need for these from that point of view.

    I am hoping to get some done in the gym+park at some point - just deads/C+J/kettlebell action shots for my new site when it goes up.

    Greens+ have a UK distribution company. Only go for the bery burst though - unless you like retching that is...

    As for greens powders....

    do I feel any different using them? No.

    Are the necessary? Not in the slightest.

    Might they make a differnence in the long term? Who can say.

    They are a good source of lots of bits and bobs that may be missing from your diet (but this is an issue with diet and food choice) so it is like increase daily for variety 10x. Whether there is enough in these powders of said foods/herbs/extracts to make a difference in the long term is far from certain. I feel they are a worthwhile addition for me as I eat a lot of total cals, animal protein and am also very busy.

    Tip of the day: GET OUTSIDE

    A lot of parks and commons have exercise equipment in now and it's a good way to change up your training for example

    Back need some change in training to get through a plateau?.... do 100 pullps
    Legs training getting a bit stale?.... do 6 x 50m sprints with a minute in between
    Didn't have time to do chest shoulders and tris the other day?.... 140 press ups in sets of 20

    Not bodybuilding set rep schemes but they will shake off the cobwebs and subject you to a different training stress which is a good thing


    Yesterday
    No training but some soft tissue work and a well earned epsom salt bath.


    Today...


    Outside: got home from me travels, it's a glorious day and the gym will be RAMMED so it's in the park with the g/f...

    Warm up three times round the common some range of motion drills and then

    plyo press ups,
    reverse rows (heels on the floor and hanging on a fixed bar or smith at the gym but using the dip station here),
    pull ups,
    chins fast with kipping,
    leg raises
    jumps for distance

    sprinting in between the stations (about 40m), 3 sets on each station.

    At home, kettlebell swings, cleans, snatches presses, bent presses.


    Food

    Whey on rising, on the move....

    After training

    Breakker
    3 Total 0% Greek yogurts & honey, dried figs and fresh fruit, coffee and a few nuts and krill oil

    Snack: Pitta bread with tuna and salsa in


    Off the the boat race so lunch will be the chicken sandwich I am about to make!

    Don't know what is happening after but I have some fruit, nuts, seeds and jerky packed away just in case. Dinner is with the food writer for Good Housekeeping so it should be good!
