I tried this, they taste pretty good.

Nice one fella. Will try and make them this afternoon. Been racking my brains trying to find a way for protein on the go. Will give these a shot.
"But bro, when ever I'm in the club grinding against those b*****s, none of them care how big my legs are."
You go to the wrong clubs. From what i remember, the women used to love putting their hands behind them onto my thighs while close. they also liked being sat on my lap
No girl wants a skinny weak leg rubbing against them

Hahaha, good point
Just back from my first back day with straps. Spiffing!
I've been sat at 100kg working sets for a while as grip was letting me down, today I did this.
60x5
80x5
90x3
100x3x5 (no straps)
110x5 (straps)
120x3 (straps)
Amazed at the difference, 110 actually felt easier going up than 100 :/. Finally getting some proper leg and butt activation now, felt great.
I've decided on some 'goals' for the year today also. I'm still primarily losing weight (133kg-95kg so far) but I think this is something to aim for.
I'm actually most concerned about my squat. I do have strong legs (from being a fatty all my life!) but its all quads, I can leg-press 550lbs (as high as the stack allows) but I can't squat for toffie

- 1xBW Bench
- 1.5xBW Squat
- 2xBW Deadlift

Nice one ^
Your lifts are very similar to mine so will be interesting to see how you progress. I'd love a 2xBW deadlift but i think its gonna be tough to add 30kg judging by how hard 120 was

"BUT DUDE! Everyone knows you only bring the bar down 3-4 inches!
Anymore and you risk hurting your joints! That's why squats are bad dude, they have hurt your knees!
DUUUUUUUUUUDE!"
Ugh, I hate bicep and chest boys with stick legs.
"but bro, every time I try to squat it hurts my knees and my back. Also, there was a chick beside me throwing 125lbs like it was light weight, so I felt like a dick less loser standing next to her."
