Greasy's Gym: Humba

OK, a few comments/updates: -Finally posted some numbers to my training log. Read in awe or disdain. -This Sunday will make it three weeks that I've been doing the 2-3 protein shakes plus one meal diet (i.e. high protein diet). I'd say I've lost 2-3 kilos, although I've generally resisted weighing myself to avoid discouragement and because scales often seem unreliable. The great thing about this diet is that having most of your meals as shakes (which I added cream, egg or oat bran to at different times) means you don't have to worry about portion size and it's actually a relief at times to just make a simple shake rather than preparing a meal. And I've found I'm seldom hungry and have avoided all snacks outside of the meal and shakes. Of course shakes do start to become boring and I'm glad I'm almost at the 3 weeks that I planned to do this. Now I'm gonna move to two meals and a shake for a while. -Weight training going well. I'm off on holidays to NZ on Tuesday for ten days so will have a couple of weeks of no training. -I'll be in Melbourne over Easter so if you guys are training on the Sat, Sun (even) or the Monday let me know as I'll be in. Happy Easter! -Clint, some of the guys I kind of half train with at my gym do their deadies and squats with their shoes off as they claim that it's better for driving the power through your feet. Of course it depends on the type of shoes you've got and stuff, but I tried it and I certainly felt more stable as your feet sit lower and feel more stable. Just have to make sure don't drop a plate on toes I suppose. Anyway, thought I'd mention it because training with Nikes that have layers of shit and heels may not be ideal.
