Review: Myprotein chocolate brownie & cinnamon danish

I'm not going to waste any time here.  Go order cinnamon Danish.  That's all the review I need to give it.  If you like things (I love things) then you will like cinnamon Danish.  

Chocolate brownie, is a little more complex.  It is still *really* good, and if I hadn't of had it alongside the pleasure bringer that is cinnamon Danish, I probably would be raving.  Shame for chocolate brownie!  The one downside I would say that sometimes it doesn't mix so well and tastes a little watery.  That might be because I'm using an isolate when normally I buy a standard whey protein, who knows!  It's still a solid flavour and one I could easily buy 2.5kg of.

Chocolate brownie gets 7 cat faces

Cinnamon Danish gets 10 glorious cat faces

Squat squaaaat SQUUUUAAAAAAAAT

I have been working on my squats and they are going SO WELL.  I've worked up to a 1rm of 85 kg and considering a month before that my 1rm was 50kg, and my competition goal is 90kg I am pretty happy.  This is the most recent session where I had to do 5 sets of 3 reps of 70kg's and everything was going up easy.

I have added something to my training that has helped me stayed focused, encouraged me to push myself, and helps me load the bar...

Ashleigh has supported all of my athletic goals since I met her and now it's amazing to have her in the gym training alongside me!  It makes every gym session fun and amazing and I've felt so proud to see her improve in strength in such a short time!  We will PR together FOREVER. <3

End of cycle 2

It's the end of my second cycle of my current programme and things got EXCITING.

I ended up increasing my 1rm for all lifts:

Deadlift - 132.5kg
Bench - 60kg
Squat - 85kg

I tested each of these straight after the workout so I reckon if I had of been fresh I would have got more.  I got the 135kg deadlift off the floor and couldn't lock out, but I defo have that one in me!

Since I've been training every day for the last 10 weeks, I'm taking a much deserved de-load week before starting cycle 3.  My initial goals for the meet were 150kg+ deadlift, 90kg squat, and 70kg bench press and I feel like I've defo got the squat (going to aim for 95-100 actually).  For bench press I think I overestimated forgetting how slowly my bench strength goes up so we'll see what happens on the day.  Deadlift deadlift deadlift...that was a big goal.  I'm without a doubt going to go all out for it and hope that on the day adrenaline will help me push my strength to it's limits so I walk away feeling proud of my numbers.

The competition was capped at 40 lifters initially and it meant that there wasn't anyone else in my weight category.  This was shit.  Now, it's reopened and I have some healthy competition and I cannot WAIT to push myself over the next 7 weeks.

Gonna get the deload over with then hammer weights, grow some mass, and make some gains!
