Next you'll be sat in the office scoffing a massive cake telling everyone it's your reward for working out like all the fat girls do

I downed a whole tub of ben+jerrys last night, ~1000cals... oops! Ah well its ok because im bulking right
I went to harvester yesterday, didn't have a honeycomb explosion pudding. I told myself id get an ice-cream from tesco instead.... crunchie ice cream tub, I had half of it! Only about 400kcals! The honeycomb explosion would have been over 700! Aren't I good lol
Sad news about ifitness, will have to look at the other app that bought them.
Sounds delicious Morba.
*eyes the empty can of Fanta he had last Friday as the only treat the past 2 months*
Lol, you keeping it there to remind yourself?!
Having lamb this evening mmmmmm
mmmmmm
Awesome squats
Thanks for the kind words regarding my squat guys
The aim is for 225kg next monday, but after that I'm going to see what smolov does for me and potentially surprise some people at my next meet.
You'll slap loads on your total with smolov
70 lengths in the pool this afternoon, all breast stroke. quite happy with that as it was full of old women who had no directional skills at all. muppets.
hasn't tired me out at all, so will do some weights in the garage later I think

1.75km, 728kcal burned apparently. leaves me hungry
Have a look at rest pause training, that might help your bench
Awesome! They are a rare find but somewhere geared for strongman is a diamond of a gym.
Where did you go?

Sounds like a good gym if it has grip specific stuff!
what gym is it? only place i've seen with a plate loaded gripper is the gallery in windsor
Sooooo, this happened...
Slow and grindy as ****! I need to be an inch or so lower really, but I'm not bothered about that at this stage. Apart from being being bit lower, I need to not mess around getting my stance set as much, for some reason that was an issue all of today. It needs to be one step back and set. Also, not enough people came to spot properly, and when faced with the choice of safety or having it filmed, well you know...
The run up to this was horrible. Felt like crap today, posterior chain still roasted from complexes on friday and my abortion of a deadlift session on saturday. To make things worse we got kicked out of the gym early so my warm up was all over the place and I didn't get chance to mobilise as much as I wanted - was hoping to foam roll some of my hamstring DOMS away, but had to squat with it still burning. I almost didn't bother with the lift because I was so sure I was going to miss it, but obviously I'm glad I did. With this in mind, at the risk of being too cocky, I still think I have more in the tank, especially considering how fresh I felt afterwards which was bizarre.
I hope you roared like a ****ing wild beast after racking that
Pool was empty tonight, so got 84 lengths in! legs like jelly now, refueled with 5 weetabix and a banana with full fat milk
I thought it was alarming enough as it was at the top of the rep! Mixture of relief, surprise and 0.5% leftover lift-rage. Although I'm a little drowned out by my spotters again
ah yeah, they were noisy, hence me thinking youd let something out after it was stopped
84
Was in 70 mins mind, so nothing fast
I wish, would make swimming easier lol.
I need to sort my breathing out so that I can start swimming properly
Weird isn't it. Yet everyone is the same after a while.
They start off hating the idea of doing legs, probably because they aren't as showy as bi's and chest, but after a while they love the feel of leg day
No noticeable pains despite getting dead arms when I sneeze
I get that, though its when i'm really hungry. My wife thinks im odd because i sneeze when really hungry.
banged out 60 lengths (all breast stroke) in 45 mins last night. Pool was a joke so went into the slow lap lane (which was packed). Couldn't really stop much as would never have found a place to start again!
Legs felt like jelly all night.
To recover, breakfast was 2 bacon, 2 eggs, hash brown, beans and a sausauge.... followed by a bacon, egg and hash brown sandwich

Eat well, train hard, rest well.
No silly schemes or dream body promises, just do the basics right and you will grow
good places to start would he the sticky at top of forum (both of them might be relevent to you at the moment), stronglifts or starting strength routines.
