That wouldnt even work because there is a neighbor underneath us too! Damn converted Student flat lol.
The stupid moment when your family visit and see you have a stack of supplements and proceed to tell your folks that supplements are addictive like drugs and that it'll lead to me taking harder drugs later on.
Spur an argument from ignorance.
Apparently Whey, Powedered oats, fish oils, amino acids and multi-vitamins are addictive drugs :/

Disregard family, acquire aesthetics.
Seen two guys do the same with bicep curls, then one decided to take his top off to finish his sets off!

Had a gruelling leg & shoulders session today. Not the best, but form was 100% throughout and I forced myself to be parellel or deeper on the squats, which made for a -30kg difference to my max over last week.
Almost didn't get my last rep on the last set with the squats, but I forced myself to do it. I think this is probably more true to my abilities - I only weigh 77kg, so I'm not exactly heavy, which probably has an impact on my max lifts anyway.
BB Squats 70kgx5, 80kgx5, 80kgx5, 90kgx5, 100kgx5;
BB Calf Raises 80kgx5, 80kgx5, 90kgx5, 90kgx5, 100kgx5;
BB SLDLs 80kgx5, 80kgx5, 90kgx5, 90kgx5, 100kgx5;
Lever Calf Extensions 20kgx5, 30kgx5, 30kgx5, 30kgx5, 30kgx5;
DB Goblet Squats 55kgx5x5;
Step up lunges 2x20kg Dbs x5 each leg, 2x25kg plates x5 for 4 sets each legs.
Plate Shrugs 2x25kgx8 for 3 sets.
DB Alternating Side raises/front raises 2x6kgx8 for 3 sets.
DB Shoulder Press 2x16kgx8, 2x12kgx8, 2x16kgx8;
The shoulders were pretty hard, I was pumped all over my arms and shoulders especially as I was alternating between front and side raises with the dumb-bells.
The leg side of things got really exhausting at the dumb-bell lunges stage and I was already pretty tired after the goblet squats. Got a pretty good sweat on with the squats as well, as I was forcing myself to go parrellel or lower, in this case, I was much happier with the workout.

Hmmm
I bet you aren't sitting your arse down on to your ankles with the goblets either.
Hitting parallel is absolutely essential, and if you don't consistently do it I suspect you think that you're hitting parallel when you aren't. You're only cheating yourself!

explain what exactly is wrong with steak and beans?
And to be honest with you, my ex council house is treating me fine, 3 times the plot size of any new build in town, and a damn site better made
