Who would wear OcUK Gym t-shirts if I got some for sale?
If free or free with an order I'd definitely wear it. Fraid I wouldn't buy one though!

was supposed to do a workout earlier on, fell asleep watching tv in bed. im now off into my garage for a workout.
wish me luck its going to be freezing in there now as in winter months it tends to get too cold to even train during the day (north side of glasgow).
i will be moving house next year and in the new house, i will happily pay for the garage to be converted into a gym, should be cheap as most of the stuff is there already, just need to add a frame, insulation, chiprock and plaster. seal where the door is from the inside, so it still looks like a garage from the outside but behind the door is a wall.

mmm felt something "go" on Tuesday whilst going a bit heavy and deep on dips ...
spoke to Instructor tonight and its my Rotator Cuff - or however you spell it
its a bit of a pain as I can do heavy bench press etc and it only barely tiges, yet I can do some hoovering or something at home and it feels like my whole back spasms
dips are a no-no atm - it instanteously feels wrong
hey ho

Anyone else pretty much collapse to the floor when getting out of bed after doing legs?
Never get used to that lol.

Sometimes do, for example last week I was hobbling about all week, although this week I trained em heavier and feel better. I think going out for a walk etc and getting some blood flowing into them helps, also I stretch a couple hours afterwards.
Got a 110kg squat for 2x5 last week, not as deep as I'd want it to be but with my knee still a bit dodgy its not bad

must be the time for injuries! my wrists have been a bit tender this past week.. thought nothing of it and upped my fish oil and tried to not put much stress on my wrists throughout my workout. go out thursday night to a gig and some idiot in the crowd is barging against me, i have to push im away about 5 or 6 times with my left arm quite hard. thought nothing of it.
wake up with a killer wrist hurts to bend it and grip things. my right one is now fine... but my left is stopping me doing pretty much anything (shouldnt even think about racking up a barbell with squats.. cos even that will hurt). FML

It's getting under the bar with good technique - my power cleans aren't really that technically brilliant - but what the heck, I go for it!

Does anyone have a link to that video that was posted a while ago where someone went from overweight to competing in a a matter of months training with a pro?

he wasnt training with a pro, he simply had some coaching and advice/routine/diet given to him to follow from a pro.
Soldato
Well that then, couldnt remember the exact details.

lower back pain, I stopped working out a couple of months back and now I am being plagued with lower back pain well i say pain its more like little twinges when I move. Its as if I am one wrong movement from snapping my spine?
would returning to the gym rid me of this?

Spec me a split! Want to run SS for a bit longer but then I definitely want to try a split. Goals are:
Squat 90kg 4x5 to 120kg 4x5
Bench 70kg 4x5 to 90kg 4x5
Deadlift 110kg 4x5 to 150kg 4x5
Don't know how long that will take me though lol but them be my goals for now!
PS - grip is hindering my deadlift I think. Very annoying but I'm struggling to hold onto the bar after a few reps!
