Plant Body Project

🍓🍓🤤
24.6g protein • 45.7g carb • 2.5g fat
😂 that's way too specific. Anyways.
Combine protein powder, flour, coconut flour, baking powder, vanilla, & stevia according to your macros. Oh, & the teeeeeniest pinch of salt. Legit only like a quarter pinch of salt.
Mix with water until you get that perfect batter consistency.
Plop it on a non-stick pan.
& flip when you get those cute bubbles.
If you can afford the fats, you can cook it in coconut oil or nuttelex (nuttelex lite has 1/3 fats than the other "butters"/oils that I've sussed, so get on that!!)
Simple & delicious!! 🍓🍓🍓 Enjoy.

On the weekend, I had my first ever powerlifting meet.
It was sooo fun, & now I'm officially addicted!!! 🖤🌹
•
I've been "lifestyle training" for around 8 years(?) & yes, I had strength goals, but those goals weren't powerlifting specific.
Of course, I progressed my lifts.
But here's the thing about training for fitness, lifestyle, or body composition...
If you don't like performing a movement (or if you CAN'T), you don't have to.
There's many many other ways to target those areas.
•
So when I didn't enjoy squatting, I'd use variations.
I didn't have a need to get power behind my bench, so it wasn't practised.
•
Last year I flirted with the idea of powerlifting.
This year, I thew myself into it.
Since January, I have been squatting x2, benching x3, & deadlifting x1 per week.
I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THE TRAINING!
After working on weaknesses & technique for a solid 10 week training block, a meet popped out of no where... so I took advantage of the opportunity.
It was actually good timing, 'cause I got to practice a proper peak & taper before game day.
So, for my 1st meet ever,
I finished with a total of
302.5kg/666.9lb
S: 105kg/231.5lb
B: 52.5kg/115.7lb
D: 145kg/319.7lb
🖤🌹
Videos & pictures to come.

Good nutrition doesn't have to be difficult or time consuming.
Good nutrition doesn't mean you should miss out on your favorite foods.
Good nutrition can still taste amazing.

Today I practised squatting without a mirror again.
I haven't gained confidence without a mirror yet. I was disheartened at the beginning of my session as I struggled coming out of the hole, & even missed an easy lift early on.
So I tried again. & tried again. & again. & again. & again... until I got the hang of it.
I think I ended up doing more than 10 sets of 82.5kg x 3.
Light load, low reps, & heaps of practise.
Hopefully, we'll see improvement later on in the week when I get under the bar again.

No matter what level you're at, there will always be things you can work on to better yourself.
•
PS. If you look cute when you lift, you're doing it wrong... unless you think puffer fish face is cute, 'cause bracing & breathing properly looks really 🐡.

Locked out a filthy 140kg/308lb today @ 63kg/138lb body weight.

Squats don't build glutes
as much as you'd think.
Squats do build character though,
which is more valuable than a phat ass.

My vegan fam have themed dinners,
we all try to cook something exciting, challenging, & delicious for each other.
So far, we've done Japanese, Turkish, American, & last night we did Dutch!

This was couple of weeks ago,
lifted a solid 120kg x 5
& was lined up to take out a few extra kgs on my 5fer before the year came to a close...
then I injured my foot.
So, I'm super pumped for the new year when I can deadlift again.
•
In 2019 I'll do some things the same,
more things different,
& everything better.

Who else has strenth goals for 2019?
