No, that’s not supposed to be legs; I did mean eggs. (I’ll get to that in a minute…)
Firstly, as you know, I’m now doing 7 reps per exercise now, since the general consensus seems to be that it’s better for building muscle size than 5 reps. And let me tell you, I’m finding it to be an absolute killer!
From the outset I didn’t think there would be much of a difference between performing 5 reps per set and 7, I mean, it’s only 2 more, after all. (And I used a calculator to verify that as fact.)
But seriously, I feel so much more fatigued and pumped – even though I’ve been forced to drop down in weight on some upper-body exercises.
My poundage continues to rise for dead lift and hack squats, but, I’ve been forced to drop down some for upper body, such as close grip bench press and overhead tricep extensions. I just can’t handle the same poundage’s, yet. But every exercise I do, it’s a killer.
Now that my diet is being revamped and I’m back eating enough calories and protein but this time – but from better sources – I’m seriously expecting some gains to come from this. (Touch wood.)
Right, the egg thing. (You’ll laugh at this.)
For my lunch, I thought I’d have 2 slices of wholemeal toast, with 4 poached eggs. So, I bunged the eggs in the microwave, after pricking the yolk (It worked fine yesterday) and away they go.
Anyway, after a couple of minutes, I heard a little popping, and, since they looked about done, I took them out of the microwave and put them on the table. About 5 seconds later, “BANG!”, an egg yolk violently exploded completely unexpectedly, making me jump, and splattering my shirt and face with egg yolk!
Since I’m having a good day I thought it was pretty funny. But, you don’t need that on a bad day though, do you? Defenceless egg or not, I’d have kicked the sh*t out of it.
