UE put up a good video the other day, worth a watch I tried them the other day and was damn near crying.

Two days on the ****, suprisingly not too hungover. Smashed some deads to get rid of most of it.

Toke a mate with us, who wants to do some weights whilst rugby is off for crimbo. Guy is a beast, just makes it look effortless and has done minimal weight training. I seriously reckon he could smash over 180 with 6 months or less training. Wouldn't be suprised if he could lift a 160+ at the moment without too much of an effort.

Wish I had natural strength like that

Needs to work on his form, but he knows that.

Snatches, clean and jerk... But I guess they're hard work for the size gainz, however...

Strict press for reps then when tiring start adding some push presses.

I was going to post this - but then I thought I'd throw in some other suggestions as people don't really realise the impact of OHP done properly.
 
Well today was just amazing

LiE, icecold, Syla, Delvis and Dom are all just legends. Absolute gents and made today so much fun.

Turned up and felt slightly intimidated but again, they made it feel very welcoming.

So many pb's today. I personally managed a 150kg squat (previous pb was 140), by total accident. Thought 130kg was on the bar, then managed an easy 200kg deadlift (previous pb was 180). Form wasn't too pretty, back wasn't completely straight, but ice told me the problem and how I can fix it.

Delvis did brilliantly too, 150kg deadlift and 110kg squat :)

Everyone I think managed some pb's today, was absolutely brilliant and I'll definitely be training with dom and ice in future :)

Awesome, awesome, AWESOME day
