It is quite funny how he came in here trying to act all high and mighty just to have been flattened.



Care to post some pictures of yourself?

Lets not start this... can we leave it be please?

Don't think I'll be attempting a deadlift PB tonight. Pulled a muscle in my back on Monday, produced something that can only be compared to the smell of dead people yesterday and have a cold today. Will see how energetic and healthy I feel up to 180K then decide

I did a new PB on Squats today, 85Kg at 3x8

Dear god, I'm feeling it now

Literally took me about 5 minutes to walk down the two flights of stairs at work

Always know when you had a good leg session when its painful to walk down the stairs after, holding onto the handrail

For some reason the last couple of sessions of squats I've had no doms/pains the next day at all, but using a fair bit of weight more than before, and going to failure

I'm getting like that....granted I'm lifting naff all weight, but you know....

Your body begins to adapt after youve been following a routine for a while which brings much less pronounced DOMS

Legs today

Squats:
barx5
60x5

Felt a bit ropey before i started, glad i did though.

Finaly got 5 reps at 100k so pretty stoked.

Back and tri's for me today as my routine is a day out this week

I presume it's normal for one arm to be a bit weaker than the other? It's annoying whatever the answer is!

it was for me at the start, both evened up now though

 

[Delvis]

Hm ok...I'm just doing the same amount on each arm at the moment (Because my right arm could do more)

I'll just have to see how thing's pan out.

Little heads up on the Omega fish oils: http://www.simplysupplements.net/product/275/omega-3-triple-strength-1000mg/

Looks like they're doing a buy one get one free

Also, if I was to get the S530: 60+60 (120) ones at £5.49, How many capsules is that? 120? Or what?

Cheers

Done my legs/abs and a bit of chest work today trying to do more 5x5 with higher weights to build up strength. I can't really do squats very well in comparison to the rest of you, I use a supported bar (locked in place) (smith machine IIRC) and failed on the last set doing 45kg.

I was away to say that these are the same price as the MyProtein version...untill I realised that two capsules of the MP brand are equvelent to one of the simply supplement range above.

Hehe...cheers Delvis..just ordered 180+180!

They constantly do buy one get one free or at least have done in the yr I've used them and yep that means you will get 120 caps

Doing legs/tris in a bit, lets see if I can improve on last week's squats - will increase volume a bit too this week

Not sure about going heavy on CGBP for tris as my shoulder feels a bit iffy today, I always get a bit paranoid when it comes to shoulder issues

 

[Batf1nk]

What rep/set range should i be using to build size?

Currently doing 3 sets of 8.

Leg Shoulders day

Squats
Leg press
Seated curl

DB or Military press
Standing BB or cable rows
Front and/or side raises

Chest tri day

BB bench
Incline DB press
Cable or DB fly

Dips
Close grip Bench or Cable pulldowns

Back Bi day

Deadlifts
Lat pulldowns or Chins
BOR's or T-bar
Seated Row

BB or DB or Ez Bar curls

That pretty much sums up my week. Seems like nothing compared to some of you. Takes a good 45 - 60 mins each day though?!
