Did squats for the first time in ages on Wednesday. Today someone at work asked me while I was walking like I pooped myself.

Winning

Tom still making gainz. 400kg coming soon, no doubt.

He is my hero.

Lol@that 1RM curl attempt in the background.

Oh dear baby Jesus Christ.

After all the talk of Bulgarian Split Squats here I decided to give them a try. Just bodyweight so nothing remotely fancy... but what has happened to my legs? They appear to be attached, however they do not function, there is nothing but jelly - and I have DOMS, 2 hours after a workout I have DOMS... I sense the next two days are going to be a special kind of hell.

Who suggested they were a good idea?

If it makes you feel any better, I still have DOMS from doing mine on Saturday.

And yes, welcome to this particularly exquisite type of pain.

I almost fell down the stairs on the way out of my gym the first time I did BSS

Deficit ones are even more fun. By fun I mean not fun.

Sadist.

Do love though. Such feels.

Anyone experienced pretty bad IBS symptoms when using Whey (concentrate)? I've just dropped whey powder altogether, although it was useful on occasion. I quite like using it when making protein bars/flapjacks and need an alternative!

 

[mrthingyx]

Yes.

I now use soy brotein.

Your legs are no more. You now have oak trunks of glory to walk around on

All these years of training, I have never actually done a Bulgarian Split Squat.

This might explain, the lack of legs... going try them tomorrow for the first time.

Interesting read on the BSS -

Basically, they aren't Bulgarian and you're all doing them wrong

 

[mrthingyx]

If you do them badly, then yes.

If you do them properly, then no.
