thats all ive eaten so far, gonna eat more fruit/veggies and protein shake before bed. Still not enough?

[thirddan]

cool, was gonna say it was short on fruits/veggies...goddamn i love peanut butter...might consider a fish oil/flax oil to get some omega3's...

bdams,

Peanut butter is really heavy on cals and lighter on nutrition relatively than any other reasonably healthy food. Other nuts have similar cals and more nutrients. So be gentle with the peanut butter (Read as, peanut butter/toast can be good for breakfast. Shoving 2 heaping spoonfuls into every shake you drink instead of some fruit probably isn't.)

use walnuts/almonds/pecans, they have a better nutrient profile...but peanut butter is sooo delicious [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Oops, a lot of people miss this. You should only do ONE set of deadlifts at your workset weight. I hope you can walk tomorrow...

One thing you should be doing with these is deweighting between each rep. Do the same thing for deadlifts as well.

And being creamy makes it so much easier to eat...

what do you mean deweighting?

[maniacut]

I think it means setting the weight back on the ground. just for a second.

Let the weight sit on the ground without any tension in your msucles holding the weight. Basically a set of five is like a set of 5 single reps, with only a couple seconds rest in between reps. Do a rep, let it sit on the ground, set up again, and do the next rep.

That is instead of doing all the reps in a row like you would do in bench press, for instance.

Oh ok, for bent over rows and deads I usually just tap the floor each time. I'll try leaving it there for a second. Thanks for the tip.
