Just allows your body to get more used to the drop rather than suddenly losing 25% of your normal kcal intake from day 1

 

[Morba]

I know that I couldn't just drop a significant amount of kcals a day without feeling it

Was going to square away a 230kg squat today. Turns out the stuff the physio gave me to activate my glutes worked hella good, my arse busted out of my rugby shorts at the bottom of 215kg... *sigh*



Typical! Had to bail the bar because I laughed and the slight difference in tension at the bottom pulled my hips sideways which did not feel good. Not a small tear either, top to bottom down the left side. Walking around Sainsbury's afterwards was breezy.

Time to invest in some EVEN BIGGER shorts, if they even exist.

Oh big shorts exist, believe me lol

 

[Morba]

He's not doing it that much different tbh. He could drop a little lower that's all.

It's rare to see good form on squats or deads in a gym unless you are with some experienced people tbh.

 

[Morba]

I've never deadlifted on a floor where bouncing was possible without throwing out weight balance tbh.
So for me I don't get the 'bouncing' comments tbh.

 

[Morba]

Morba from what I've seen in my local gym the weight hits the floor and bounces a small amount, there's never any resting of the weight. I thought the whole point of a deadlift was to lift it from a complete rest position each time.

Unless it's really light weights, I can't see why it would be of any benefit, a bounce would lose constant tension and at the point you pull but the weight stops bouncing there will be a big jolt.
I really doubt it adds anything to the lift, I could be wrong though.

 

[Morba]

I've got a feeling that I will find the same thing once I get back on it. Swimming tires my legs!
Doing a swim everyday this week, 60 lengths last night, 70 today, try and get 100 in tomorrow!
The first 30 today were hard work

 

[Morba]

I think my back is getting a bit on the large side, I may tone down what I do for lats.

No such thing.

 

[Morba]

I carry mine all over, I find a wider distribution is better... oh wait, that's a bad thing right?


Aaaaanyway... Just stroked 100 breasts in the pool, or something like that.
Followed by 2 scoops protein shake, 2 apple n cinnamon bagels with jam.
mmmmmm

 

[Morba]

I love your regime Morba!

It's the best
If I stopped eating so much it might make me lose weight haha

You dirty bugger! That's 50 women right? Unless you found a few with single breasts!

LOL!
Worst thing abbot swimming during day is its mostly old people.
Though there was a stunner in yesterday and an even nicer one today. Didnt notice her until she got out of pool as face wasn't much... body was stunning! In a white string bikini mmmmm hehe

 

[Morba]

Mmmm now that would be nice scenery hehe

 

[Morba]

Give it a few days and call back. There is no need for the admin fee.
I pay the same for our Corp rate at esporta and said I'm not paying an admin fee, they getting £1200 ish a year as it is

 

[Morba]

Gym Rats thread?

Odd post?

 

[Morba]

Completely clum.
If they think the club will make money out of you from other usage, say the bar for food n drinks, then they will be more willing to waive it imo.

 

[Morba]

Deadlifts.

 

[Morba]

So work on your squats. Take a look at Ed Coens calculator to start with and set yourself a goal to work towards.

 

[Morba]

SS is exactly what it says. Starting, building blocks for the future.

Do a squat specific routine of your fancy or use the calculator that I mentioned

 

[Morba]

Have a look at the smolov squat routine

 

[Morba]

Really? Wonder why that is. Will have a look and see what I can find

 

[Morba]

In your honour Morba I done 10miles on my bike earlier and my housemates just turned up with a box of krispy kreme so I'm tucking in

I've just had a slow swim for an hour, sorting my breathing n stroke etc.
Wife is at home baking cup cakes mmmmmm
