I have had a quite glorious week. The picture above is from today’s photo shoot, which took place in the water, which is a look I always like to go for, to emulate a Sea Deity! I was actually quite happy with my form. It was definitely easier to drop the calories a bit without having to worry about making progression in a set routine. The training of the week has mainly consisted of lighter sessions with some heavy bench for the hench. On Wednesday I am leaving for Ireland and I will be there for six days and after that it is finally bulking time and until then I want my body ready to go (means I have properly rested joints etc).
The diet has mainly consisted of milk, eggs and MSC-marked fish and lots of veggies and fruits, a winning combination no doubt.
In other news my technical issues has finally come to an end, it cost a bit of money but I had saved quite a bit and I was prepared to take that hit because I know I want to do this right now and grow (first and foremost the YouTube) as much as possible. Speaking of technique things I decided upon a Galaxy S5, and it was a good choice, I considered the Nokia 1520 for its larger size but once I got the S5 in hand I saw that it was very big as well, I am really happy with that.
Furthermore I have worked quite a bit with my Let’s Play videos, which took some time to get right, I am extremely happy with the result and will continue to do a good few Let’s Plays a week, and don’t worry, even if you are not into gaming I will still keep it quite related to the gym and my usual topics! I often record the game play as pre-workout as well. Right now I have been focusing on Skyrim, which is a game we all love. I will also make videos playing Rome Total War II.
Varför inte tävla i Athletic Fitness?

Tänkte idag ta upp varför jag inte tävlat i AF och varför jag inte har några planer på att göra det.
Först och främst vill jag börja med att säga att jag tycker att AF är en bra sport som på ett utmärkt sätt kombinerar estetik med prestationsmoment. Det går inte att ställa upp och se grym ut utan att kunna backa upp det med att vara rejält vältränad.
Detta till trots ställer jag mig frågande till momenten som genomförs. Den egentliga anledningen ligger i dipsen men kan för förtydligandets skulle nämna att bedömningen av chins är ganska oregelbundet (där vissa får godkända repetitioner för en undermålig teknik etc) dock är nog detta någonting som kommer bli bättre med tiden.
Hur som helst är det i alla fall dipsen som är mitt hinder, en godkänt repetition går under 90 grader, och axeln mår som allra sämst i just den vinkeln. Och som alla vet så måste man träna på någonting väldigt ofta för att bli bra på det. Jag vill helt enkelt inte riskera min axelhälsa genom att köra djupa dips varannan dag. Kopplat till detta så är den enda träningsrelaterade skadan (eller egentliga skadan över huvud taget) från när jag körde djupa viktade chins (50 kg om jag inte missminner mig). Hade efter det ont i högra axeln i några veckor, varför jag efter den incidenten blivit extra försiktig när det kommer till axlarna.
Så anledningen till att jag inte kör AF är alltså att jag inte vill träna djupa dips flertalet gånger i veckan, dock vill jag nämna att jag har stor respekt för de som tävlar i sporten, som förutom ovannämnda detalj har en stark anknytning till hälsa och prestation.

Pumping up the Gunz, an important part of a photoshoot!
First of all I have ‘completed’ the Russian Squat Routine. Which is to say that I made a bold dash to take my goal of 210 kg before the schedule ended, the reason for this was so that I can focus a bit more on getting in shape one last time for my last shoot. And then after that is done do another round of the RSR (this time calculated on 210 kg instead of 200 kg). In the meantime I will begin the Swedish Deadlift Routine, which is the same as the RSR but you calculate in on 10 kg higher than your 1RM, I will follow this schedule until the middle of September when the bulk begins (then I will find a way to incorporate deadlifts in my RSR, more on that later). The biggest challenge here is probably the grip, which I hope to strengthen. The video of the 210 squat will be out tomorrow. I also performed the first session of the Swedish Deadlift Routine today (which I will also post as a video), it consisted of 6 set a 2 reps on 200 kg.
As for the diet I had a photoshoot yesterday, photos from that are coming up, I tried to get a bigger look this time so I loaded with large amounts of carbs the day before and quite a bit of regular pre-shoot nutrition before the shoot itself (yoghurt cashews).
Other thoughts regarding the diet is that Edamame Beans are really delicious, my latest Gains Kitchen shows how to cook them, really easy to be honest, just let them seethe with some salt for a good five minutes and you are ready to go!
Also, some good news, I am back in my apartment with my glorious Internet and I have a new camera so now it is only a proper telephone that is needed (mainly for good pictures) and I am all set to begin the grand plan in earnest!
Next week will see some hard work and lots of opportunities to learn new things. I aim to grow my Youtube as much as possible, I will discuss my goals further ahead, alas what I can promise now is that I will work as hard as I can everyday to achieve maximum amounts of glory. If I fail it will not be because I did not give everything!
