Me too. Well I focus on my whole workout… Bench press is the last one and I need help and that’s complicated so it may just not happen sometimes. I plan to focus on not skipping it and making my whole workout on the same day. It’s a challenge for me, okay?
I googled things and have read a tad.
About what an average untrained person should be able to do regarding bench press. I just don’t think it’s true. No way most person just move such big weights. Let’s get a normal chubby woman and she just bench press 80lbs without any training? No way. My male, active, healthy SO couldn’t do anything with that weight let alone doing one rep… Well I can try it but we are similar (he is a bit stronger even untrained. I lazily do my workouts with slow progression since years on and off) and I know that my weight is about 50 and if I add another 10, I probably can’t do one while he can but not many…
I just don’t think almost everyone is way stronger than us (and whatever I could be in a year if I really tried). People just doesn’t seem like it would be true. Girlies in offices with their spaghetti arms and tiny protein intake and never trained chest muscles…? And there are many such ones (but make them chubby, they still don’t get so strong, it definitely didn’t happen to me).
So I am confused.
I will think about my goals for April, I am very sleepy now. But I want to be as close to carnivore as I can and if I stray, I want to figure out why and solve it. It probably will be boredom of my carni foods. I have some idea what to do against it but I can’t pull it off every day. More experiments are needed.
I will make meatloaves like Fangs, that sounds a superb idea. Hard to imagine getting bored of it if I keep my other items so I don’t overuse it.
I go for a leaner style lately (think 60-65% fat, I have my limits). It may interfere with my OMAD plans but we will see. I do my best to avoid added fat but very fatty meat (processed doesn’t count as I use it in moderation) didn’t work either. It might be good for times when I can’t stomach enough food otherwise but I never know when it will come and on the wrong day I just eat way too much from it.
I think I already wrote before but I plan to increase my turkey (wing) consumption. It seems to satiate me, it’s tasty and quite cheap too, I get bones for a nice soup, it adds variety… What not to like? And there is pork thigh and chuck as my staple food besides my eggs. No idea if I can lower my egg consumption but I won’t hold back regarding meat for sure.
Well, eggs and meat
I have too many.
Heart and tongue (never ate a bad one, no matter the animal species), all my sponge cakes (=whipped egg white with or without yolks), pork sausage (various kinds), pork chuck roast, pork thigh with or without bacon, not a special fav but I surprisingly handle eating scrambled eggs all the time… And frikadeller/Stefania/scotch eggs (they are siblings in my world but truly similar anyway as far as I know. still didn’t look up how non-carnivores make scotch eggs) are lovely too.
And sour cream. The best kind of quark, sour and creamy, it’s super useful when I am bored with eggs and meat or just want a dessert. If I want one, I get it, I wonder if I could handle it in any other way… But I typically use quark when I need the protein and really can’t imagine eating more meat or eggs in a non-sweet way.
Stews are lovely too as always, still my best idea for beef.
I probably need other recipes.
I better sleep now and sorry, really. (I deleted some things about my fight against some parts of my internet addiction. But I have my food addiction and they joins forces when it comes to this forum.) It must be nice to have self-control, I can’t possibly know.
Maybe I should give myself some challenge but what can I follow even in my comment writing trance…? I know, I shouldn’t start. Hmmm… We will see what I can do.
