For the gym rats

[A2Z]

I havent been to gym for 2 months...

Today...my power rack/bench/145kg olympic weights arrived...finally gonna have a home gym, cant WAIT to get back into it, I miss squats

 

[Morba]

How's the injury playing up?

Terrible tbh. thought if im careful i might be able to use some machines. toe is really restricting me doing anything overly active involving my legs though :/

 

[Freefaller]

You poor bugger Hope it gets sorted soon mate. Can you go swimming or something like that just to keep the body ticking over?

Four months of cutting and I'm done. Started at 17st 1lb in the second week of April and finished today at 14st 13lbs. Time to get strong again

2st in 4 months is a great achievement, at that speed im guessing you limited the amount of muscle loss?

good work fella :]

Cheers all

Lost some muscle but most was fat from around my ass and other areas. Kept strength loss to an absolute minimum which was my main concern.

Edit: Forgot to mention, having a serious munchfest today. Eating all the things I've been keeping out of my diet in one big hit

rofl, dont you start that over here

 

[Freefaller]

We're not on flippin' ESN here CW!!!!

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

I'm not particularly bothered about the way I look so I only ever bothered taking a couple of upper back shots. Will take a few more tomorrow for comparison.

No ass shots

 

[Chong Warrior]

Can't blame a guy for trying!

 

[Freefaller]

Ok how many wine gums and merlots have you gone through tonight so far then eh?!

Haha... only finished at the gym after 8pm so still on my first glass yet

Coming up for 4 weeks cold turkey without the wine gums mate... I've been good on this cut, apart from the odd glass of wine or seven!

 

[Freefaller]

I thought there was something different about you!

How's the cut going?

 

[Volcs]

Do any of you guys use proper lifting shoes? I'm beginning to find the cushioning wobble of my trainers a bit of a hinderance on squats and deads and have been offered some adidas Ironworks at cost price. Any thoughts, or do you reckon for anyone that's not olympic lifting these are overkill?

 

[Jeffstar]

I squat bare foot, it just feels right.

 

[Ironic Namesake]

I've only started a couple of weeks ago, was just wondering how long I should be sticking to higher reps / set? I see the sticky recommends 3x8 , was recommended to start with 3x10 on everything
