1. Day 2 of trying the Zone, good god im hungry…

2. I like strength days. Slightly rough after yesterday, Guinness and red wine dont mix that well.

3. Eoin, how many blocks are you on?

4. 17 – im going by the calculator on his website

6. Eoin,

   How bad was your diet before hand? Sugar tastic? Also, are you thinking about food all the time? How are you breaking up your meals? Are you getting a lot of veg in?

7. Kudos for jumping straight in Eoin, what did day one’s meals look like?

8. by coincidence i did 5×5 shoulder press today

   50-50-55-55-57.5 (3)

   couldn’t get “up” for this at all

   then did thruster + backsquat press with a 30kg for 7 mins – 16 rounds (thruster + backsquat press = 1).

   I really need to get my elbows higher, i literally cant get them above my nipples for thrusters which means i have to hold the bar rather than rest it. Makes thrusters a bitch on my wrists. I have recently started doing shoulder dislocates, any other tips?

9. 7pm:
   Big Shane: 40-45-50-50(f)-40-45-50
   Darragh: 20-30-30-35-35-40(f)
   Tom: 45-47.5-50(f)-50(f)-47.5
   Jason: 35-40-42.5-45-47.5
   Ames: 19-20-22.5-25(2)-25-26(f)

   Big Shane also got 2 more muscle ups. Who’s gonna be next?

   8pm:
   Derrick – 25Kg across
   Deirdre – 35Kg Bench (x5)

10. Colm-

    Sounds like you’re describing the front rack position … how do you fare with front squats and receiving the bar on cleans etc?

11. Yes it was pretty sugary alright, ive a terrible sweet tooth. i ate reasonably well at meal times but outside id have a fair bit of sweet stuff giving myself the old i derserve it for eating so well at meals.
    And food is def on the brain at the moment, though i broke it up more in the latter part of the day and that helped so i need to do that more

    Day 1 consisted of
    - a salmon omelette (as described in the zone book)
    - a berry smoothie with protein, and
    - stir fried salmon (had to finish the rest) with mangetout meal (as described in the zone book)
    - I also had ham, fruit and nuts as snacks
    The meals were actually suprisingly quite nice
