Thanks Deception, I'm sure you'll get there!

Syla5, your middle reps were the best. On the first couple you're jerking your head forwards a little too aggressively, you still want to maintain a relatively neutral spine.

2 mile run. Dead Pretty much my cardiovascular and ankle strength limit reached

Cheers Ice, yeah watching it back i keep thinking wtf am i doing with my head, maybe a little subconius of dropping the bar on my head lol.

You're right to bring your head through, but it needs to stay attached to your torso

I have my feet staggered and once the weight is up move my torso forward under the weight to kind of "lock it" at the top. Will try and get a vid... 35kg tomorrow

Feet staggered won't be challenging your core as much... I don't know if that bothers you, but it probably should unless your core routine is awesome

Well that's next on your shopping list then . You can get decent digital scales for <£10 at most supermarkets. Weigh yourself same time every week, somewhere between 0.5-1kg a week is good going.

Cheers for that mate. Birthday coming up soon so will ask for a set. Do you think may be just adding some nuts to diet will help just boost some of macros and calories?

 

[Syla5]

thoughts on my diet please

theres room for me to add in fruit, or up the PB content, and reduce milk. The aim was to stop bloating out on milk in my shakes and also make it easier to get the macros in before gym time.

been on the norovirus cutting program for the last few days. if anyone else wants to follow it, it's pretty simple

Diet

2-3 slices of bread a day

Exercise

an 85/15 split between lying in bed groaning and sticking one end down the toilet. alternate the ends to maintain interest.

[SMed]

Trained for the first time in 6 weeks and only the 4th time this year. -_-

This is how I feel:

 

[Delvis]

So 15 sweet potatoes a day then you might be worried.

Think I'm okay then! Don't like it that much

Well my core routine is just Stronglifts So yeah I will try feet side by side next time

I hope you realise what he means when he refers to your 'core'...Right?

 

[MoNkeE]

I think he's inferring that as he's doing Stronglifts, the only core workout he's getting is from compounds
