*** The 2013 Gym Rats Thread ***

I've been doing my SL5x5 on a Mon, Wed, Fri after work at 5 but now I have football pre-season training on a Monday evening as well. Am I best just to keep the same or should I try to somehow put more space in between the gym and football?

It's a work gym so mon-fri only. I cycled to football training and back, it's about 4 miles and did it after the gym two Mondays ago and my right thigh was seizing up and almost a sharp pain on like the outside edge close to the knee on the way home but I did do a record squat and it was my first footy session so hopefully will only get easier as I get fitter...

Don't think the cardio will do much harm, I do want to bulk but I am getting pretty fat now - I just decided to eat whatever I liked when I started gym.
 
First bash at the chest day, bench press - not too bad, dips - still going ok, dumbbell incline BP ... getting hard... explosive press-ups... oh dear... chest broken, managed to bang out 3 sets of 8 but exhausted at that point.

Think it's going to take a bit of getting used too!, also felt a bit harder due to the legs/core DOM's..., should go smoother next week (fingers crossed!)
 
Looking to get into weight training, let myself go abit. need to lose some weight. whats a basic routine i could start on?
 
Apparently Ben just won the 105kg worlds!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Edit: Now confirmed. Englands strongest man, Britains strongest man, Worlds strongest man and most importantly OcUKs strongest man :cool:
