My kitchen at home has changed so much since taking up bodybuilding. There are so many things we’ve replaced so that it’s more user friendly and makes our life easier and more healthier. For example, from a stock standard frying pan to a no-stick skillet. Generally things like that. Our fridge, freezer, pantry and condiment cupboard have also changed and for the better I might add. )
Next on the list to buy for the kitchen is this shiny looking contraption, it’s a Breville Ikon 600 Blender. LOL!! Isn’t it just the prettiest thing you ever did see. LOL!! No I’m just kidding, but it will make my life that little bit easier and anything that saves me time certainly has my vote. I’ll have whipping up protein pancakes down to a fine art in next to no time. ;o)
Method
1. Blend ingredients together in a blender
2. Pour directly into hot non-stick pan
3. Turn when golden brown
4. Once cooked on other side remove and serve
Servings: 3 Pancakes
As soon as I get up I have a long black coffee, 5g BCAA & 750ml bottle of water. I then ride into work on my bikle, heat my pancakes in the microwave and eat with some sugar-free maple syrup before heading to the gym for my weight training. So far so good! )
is a real doozy and I love it! It’s completely different from anything I’ve done before and best of all I designed it myself with inspiration from Jenny Lynn’s DVD. You’ve all seen exactly what I’m doing so I’ll break it down for you:
1. 5 minute warm up in the cardio room to get the blood pumping through the muscles
2. 10 second hold whilst stretching the muscle group being worked
3. First set without weight to warm muscle up once again
4. 1st set select a challenging weight
5. 60 second rest period
6. 2nd set weight increase
7. 60 second rest period
8. 3rd set weight increase
9. Straight away I move onto the next exercise and repeat the above
Then at the end of my weight training when I’ve depleted all of my glycogen stores I head straight back into the cardio room and do 30 minutes low intensity cardio to burn the body fat. Of course as soon as I finish it’s time for my post-training protein shake which consists of 30gm protein, 30gm dextrose, 5gm l-glutamine, 5gm creatine & 300ml water. That’s pretty much it!
Well it’s time for me to head back into the kitchen and get started on my food preparation. I have rump steak and chicken breasts to remove all excess skin and fat then bbq for the week ahead.
Enjoy what’s left of your weekend! )
