Have you heard of fruits or vegies? I count 2. Sorry… 3 a day if you include the raisins in your toast.
Less bodyfat is always good.
I’m not a big eater of fruits and veggies. Dude, you shouldve seen my old diet. You wouldnt be worried about how much fruits and veg I’m getting now. I’m just glad they’re in there.
This is just a 1 day snapshot of what I’ve been eating for the past month. Things change around frequently.
How many calories per day are you trying to eat?
2500 on non training days and 2800 on training days roughly. I’ll probably maintain at about 2800-3000
Workout today:
6xflying 50m @ 90%, about a 20m fly+ maintain
3x5 vertical throws
3x4 box squats@ 315
Workout was easier on the volume, I was feeling pretty tired coming into the workout.
hills today:
2x2x100m, 1x2x70m, 1x70+1x110m
walkdown recovery between reps, 8-12mins recovery between sets
3x5 jerks
3x5 vertical throws 9kg
3x8 incline bench
3x5 decline shoulder press
Worked on my clean technique a little too. So far my weights are a little all over the place, thats partly on purpose to give some of my lifts a little rest. I guess by the full sense of it this is more of a base block, next one will be a strength block then back to speed.
looks like 15-20 calories
I’ve got the breakdown in an excel spreadsheet. Its 2500-2800. The almonds and cheese help to boost things considerably without the massive quantities of food.

Today:
6x60m, technical cues set up at certain intervals. First day we started to crank up the speed a little. Top end felt good.
The speed drained me more than I would have thought, first real speed day, and I attempted to test SLJ afterwards. It was a complete garbage lol. So I wont even post it. Reminder for next time, test jumps before starting practice.
10x vertical throws with 8kg
5x4 cleans working on good technique, worked up to 185.
Big testing day today:
3x touch pad 30m
3.89s, 3.86s, 3.82s (pb)
2x flying 30m
2.88s (pb), 2.94s
The way our facility is set up our straights come off a curve, so the way we run these is 25-30m run in on the curve, hit the straight and the timer for a pure 30m fly from the curve. So I’m confident these can be faster. I was also getting really tired after these, very taxing.
All round good testing day. Personal bests in both and its only October.My weight today was 189, post cheat day i’m always retaining and pumped up about 4-5lbs and it drops off quickly throughout the week. I’ve hit 184lbs, and can still lose a few. I plan on being at a race weight of 180lbs, so that alone should make some more of a difference.
Also timed a 200m, which was painful. No SE built up yet so died really hard at the end. 22.86s electric.
