I have had some ace workouts over the last few days.
Saturday–Jon Heaton—Chris and I did some thick bar work–clean and press–curls and close grip floor press.
I also did some chins working up to some good weight in full range style.
Arms and shoulders still ache today.

Sunday –rested—was at the NW show.
Louise –won–Dave Simpson came second —both won best presentation allso.
Louise –has worked so hard –and has changed so much –that you would not know she was the same girl from 4 years ago.
Dave –made a transformation that would blow your mind—if you put his photos side to side.
He lost so much weight.
Proud of both of you.

Last night—conditioning work—Ran in the fields at the rear of my home.
Louis—came with me.
Ran to one end of the field—20 press ups.
Ran to the other–15 chins on goal post.
Kept doing this for 20 min.
Then I ran home with Lou on my back—That was hard, he is getting a big lad.
Real good workout, enjoyed it.
This morning –plan to squat.
Have a great day —love to all Ian.

hi ian, find your blogs & articles on body in design & ast a very interesting read & very informative, could you please post what a current full days eating plan looks like on a training day & rest day, i know you always post ya breakfast but wud like to see the foods you eat the rest of the day! thanks all the best, Jordan

I do get a few emails each week regarding my eating habits.
I am not your normal run of the mill bodybuilder—as I have always eaten very clean–I was one of the first bodybuilders many years ago to use all organic foods.
My eating habits for the last –”step on the stage look”—caused even more people to ask–Just what the hell did you eat, if you are not eating meat.

As most trainers are not looking to step on stage and have- just a good look –The right size and fullness with the right amount of bodyfat—Well this type of eating I will outline here is for just that look, as this is the look I am working for and strive for.

Here is a my days intake.
This does change —but you will get the idea.
First thing in the morning.
Water or green tea—BCA–Glutamine–Creatine–B pollen–B complex.
1/ Steel cut oats—1 scoop of XGF–or eggs x2–with raisons –water —cooked in a pan.
Toast x 2 —nut butter.
I eat this meal at maybe 4–am or 5.
I then eat every 3 hours after.
2/ Nuts and dried fruit and fruit.
3/ Steel cut oats again–and xgf—same as meal 1 but maybe no toast.
4/ Eggs x 2–salad–baked potato.
5/ Nuts, dried fruit and fruit.
6/ Cottage cheese–cinamon and and apple or an XGF.
7/ Eggs and salad–baked potato.
8/ Just before bed– XGF—or the cottage cheese meal above.
Same sups as in the morning.

I drink 2-3 litres of water a day.
On training day’s I have a VP2—mixed with apple juice and raisons and creatine–I blend this this with the raisons.

That’s is —basic and clean—-I feel fantastic on this type of eating plan.
Give it a try—love to you all Ian.
