I know this is not to be discussed, so I won't. But I will say this, my mate from work has been on the tiger juice the past five months and his size and strengths gains ... I've never seen anything like it. I'm like a newborn baby next to him and this is a guy that 'I' introduced to the gym.

Leaves you slightly bitter and wondering if you're doing the right thing.

Yet you shoulder press 42kg DBs for fun?
I wouldn't worry about your friend tbh :p
 
Are you saying that a small tweak in form from your physio has made you lose 60kg on your squat?

have not squatted in 4 months (been doing physio).

also i said im gonna do 140kg (not ready for 160kg)

first time back i did 100kg for reps.

second time back i did 120kg for reps

third time will be 140kg for reps

i'll be doing 180kg within 2 weeks i would hope. im just taking it easy, because i dont want to exasperate a very bad injury i have (loose patella and extreme hyper mobility).

You come across as superman tbh. are you sure that you have only done 1 short cycle?
 
talking of deliveries, i've ordered some proper aqua shorts for my swimming. My board shorts are getting uncomfortable to swim longer distances in.

Not impressed, the things are tiny, don't think I will actually wear them lol

Leg day

Biked it to gym then worked the legs hard

Squated 70kg 10 reps with no sweat in squat rack, happy with my form and strength to push on

Being able to ride home after a leg session doesn't say 'worked legs hard' to me :P

good that you are building a good base though and not being silly by doing too much too quick.

huh, as rather doing a leg session then sitting in a metal box going home, just because I do a session doesn't mean I can't pedal my bike, put in over 280 miles cycling this month, every time I have been t'gym I have gone on my bike.

deal with it

wow, you're nice aren't you? i even added a smiley and a nice comment after it.

what, it was easy, not straining myself going in thinking I am the boss, slow and sure wins the race

Lets just get this into perspective, you said you worked the legs hard.

We were just commenting that it doesnt seem like a hard workout if you could do what you were doing... you then say it was easy.

You need to stop throwing your toys out of the pram tbh. Guessing you are this highly strung in real life as well?

Only issue with straps is, you can spend to much time on the floor preparing.

I'm in the same boat with the mixed grip, way prefer both hands over the bar but after about 130kg its game over. I only do singles on the deadlift, so I'm not too worried about imbalances. Tried reversing my mixed grip a few times but got some horrible results :)

straps take seconds to do before a set, then you go. Elbow or knee wraps are another thing :p
 
Well, i've finally started shrinking. Not good, not happy lol
Legs are down to 31" and i'm no longer in the 18" gun club! Not impressed!

Worst thing is, i can tell that it is more muscle that is going than fat, which is a shame.
Will have to consider eating more on top of all that I am at the moment and try to find a way to start doing some weights again!!
