I must be lucky, can easily drink 3 or more pints of milk a day with no side effects. The full 8 might be a different story though...
Caporegime
Hehe, I love milk, why would that make you fart though? Eggs I can get...
And whats this in relation to gomads?

Caporegime
Hmm nice, may be worth a try, already do my shakes with milk

GHR's were brutal. Didn't manage a single rep without using my arms to stop me face planting or help me back up again.
Also started a box squat trend at my gym. Did them on Monday with two steppers so they were low enough for me and tonight 5 people had copied my idea but the steppers were two high for them. Got them squatting on to a 20k dumbbell instead. I enjoy seeing pain on other peoples faces

First proper week back so it was reasonably light for me. GHR's have ripped my hamstrings to pieces though, feel like they're on fire. Not looking forward to the pain tomorrow
Cos i'll be back up to >20stone in weeks.

Just ordered this - http://www.flexcart.com/members/elitefts/default.asp?m=PD&cid=370&pid=2976
Went for a paperback version from the rainfrost, purely because paperback is more anabolic.

Does anyone know how to stop getting air during speed bench? My back kept coming off the bench and I'm sure that can't be good :/
Been interested in the 5/3/1 methodology for a while. Feel liked I've got as much out of Bill Starr's 5x5 as I can so I'm looking at new routines and Wendlers 5/3/1 is one of them.

Retested deadlift 1RM and managed my old PB of 210kg. Pretty pleased with that because that was 6 months ago and since then I ate like crap and didn't work out for 3 months, then went on a cut for 3 months with a 500cal deficit.
