your quite small at 5'7, it's harder for small people to lose weight than taller people

How so?

I'm 5'7 and still fat and therefore I'll happily blame it on the fact I'm short

Well, this is the thing. Me being a shorty I'm thinking i can blame being fat on my height rather than because i eat too much crap

Edit: In all seriousness, surely hunger is satiated at a relative point to height?

^^ah doing some internet research its quite possible I didn't have my shoulders in far enough/ie right next to my body - will retry on Monday - apparently if form wrong - and they'renot in close enough you put a weird angle on your wrists

I'd say your wrists are too close probably.

Morba · 9 Jul 2011 at 22:11

Take a look at some vids on YouTube, you'll see most arent really that close

Week off the gym......... What will I do in my evenings?! Time to hammer the fasted cardio this week I feel

Nothing gym related. Its a week off, take advantage of it

Just do some press ups before you go out, pump up a bit!!

Morba · 11 Jul 2011 at 15:08

nope, but they are doing 1kg free if you buy 2x 2.5kg bags of protein.

Would that still work if i went for the 5kg bag and recieved the 1kg also?

not sure. email says 'add the 3 items to basket and use code IMP2 at checkout.
sounds like you need to add 2x2.5kg and 1x1kg to get the 1kg free.

Good work

Morba · 11 Jul 2011 at 20:44

Those women arent with those men purely because of the muscle. You would have to be an idiot to think that...

Morba · 11 Jul 2011 at 20:49

Get back on the gear PS, sort your arms out.

Morba · 12 Jul 2011 at 15:02

Gotta love HST, all 3 periods of it are hell when you have the weights right

Morba · 13 Jul 2011 at 09:08

depends. if im doing low rep stuff then i will reset each rep. If high reps then the weight will touch the matting then come back up.

Had a go at some heavy-ish bench yesterday just for a laugh. Pushed up 150kg fairly comfortably which I was surprised by!

Just think what you could do now after say 4 weeks of some concentration on it

You'd smash your 1RM

Morba · 14 Jul 2011 at 11:07

Starting to feel a bit fitter now, good thing. Losing muscle, bad thing. Look fatter than before, stupid non diet to go with exercise

50 laps of the pool yesterday during work then a 7.5km bike ride once home, aiming for massive legs of course!

This is going to sound silly but is there an exercise or exercises that can be done instead of deadlifting? (not SLDL) I really don't get on with it, never been comfortable with it and don't want to ruin my back...

Make sure you are doing them right and at a sensible intensive weight and you will be fine.
There are other things you can do, but if you are scared to do a deadlift then no point telling you other things that can be done
