| I count it as midlands, so maybe? On the other hand I was starfished on the floor jamming Jaffa Cakes into my face, so I may well be wrong! | |||

| Gentlemen, thanks! This one crept up on me really, I've had a lot on and before I knew it, it was singlet time again! The aim is that there will continue to be Central Opens every two months, which so far Steve Cannon is doing a great job of, 60+ lifters every time! I THINK the next one will be Oxford in July, or at least that's what a friend gleaned from talking to Mr Sawyer. | |||

| 16/05/2015 BWL Central Open - Warley 100kg 105kg 110kg X 125kg 130kg 135kg 240kg total (20kg competition PB) Great day out, made some good progress. Also my little superstar 58kg lifter posted 61/86 (147) for a 14kg competition PB, as a good prep comp for the British. The 4 week taper I have written seems effective!  | |||

| A couple of ideas for convenient breakfasts for those who are out and about early or who are short on time: http://gorillapt.com/2015/04/30/overnight-oats-recipe-one/ http://gorillapt.com/2015/05/08/overnight-oats-recipe-two/ Beza these might also be a good idea for you to have late at work before training in the evening. | |||

luki said:Farc I'm walking into work and for 30mins at lunch (when's its not raining heavy.) Will try eating pasta, rice etc with dinner. I'm not great on calories Phil. Cheese burger is 350c x4, breakfast roll 300c x2 and can is 150c x6 taken off Google. Consuming say 3000calories, estimated with sweets, less a week. I'm eating toast, sandwich, milk and shake w oats in work instead. Cans replaced with oat crackers and cheese. Seems a good place to put this http://gorillapt.com/2015/04/22/how-important-is-monitoring-yo... | |||

Post Edited: 24.04.2015 @ 23:28 PM by VanillaGorilla There are a few studies of note (Try Tipton for one) suggesting that for recovery following resistance training the optimum ratio of high GI carbs to protein is between 2:1 and 3:1.My shake has 50grams of maltodextrin (technically a polysaccharide but works within the body as a monosaccharide), 400ml of milk, 5grams of creatine monohydrate and 1 gram of electrolytes, and 50 grams of WPC80, yielding 40 grams of protein. I also have a banana. This gives me a carb protein ratio of 2:1 (99gr:51gr) | |||

JackRevans said: why is this? Fast acting simple sugars to quickly replenish blood glucose and muscle glycogen. Along with electrolytes probably the most important thing to replenish quickly after exercise to ensure effective recovery. | |||

| Assuming the shake is post workout, the first thing I'd do is swap the oats for dextrose / glucose / maltodextrin. | |||

little_a said:If you're next comp is in November why are you missing singles in April? If you like doing singles every workout then fair enough. No one pays us to do this stuff and you should do what makes you happiest, but a 7 month build up can be a beautiful thing if looked at as a 7 month build up. Takes me long enough to plan out 4 weeks  | |||
