Can anyone point me to a how to for HC2PP? I keep reading that it is an awesome shoulder routine but I can't find any info on it! (probably not looking hard enough!)

Glad you are enjoying it mate. Like I say I haven't done it myself so can't really comment. I can't see how a fitty squating in front of you is anything less than super distracting though, and lack of blood in the muscles can't be good for growth :p

It helps me focus by monitoring her form ;)

Spent. Shoulders were killing and I loved it. I find it very difficult to get the feeling my shoulders have been worked.

Boxing tomorrow :)
 
Deadlifted 120kg today for 5 sets. Not that impressive I know but I've always struggled with deadlifts until the last couple of weeks where I've just gone for it and had someone watch my technique

Was doing 80kg a month ago :)

Nice progression :) I have to focus heavily on my breathing when deadlifting of I go very feint just after the set. Brilliant exercise though.
 
So FF, are we ok to create journals on here then?

Might start one up when I can start leg work again if yes.
 
Legs day again today

Going to make sure I hit 30T again!! woop woop

And as for the post above, I'd like to start a journal, I'm rubbish at keeping progress of myself so that might inspire me
 
Managed just over 30T today, struggled though, especially during squats as back day is yesterday, so lower back was a bit sore from deadlifts and getting a PB on that
 
Did my first lot of Good mornings last night at the gym after hearing good things about them building core strength on here. I have to say I was shocked at how much weight I could use. I didn't push myself though, I could feel it in the muscles but no doms today. I was using 35 kg for 12 reps and taking it nice and slow and quite deep but my torso was not parrallel with the floor (hope thats right). I think I could really come to love this exercise, especially on day's where I've been squatting as it takes a lot out of me and I'd prefer not to deadlift on the same day.

Think I picked it up in something Tank wrote, so thanks mate :)

I've had exactly the same. Aftermath of the cold making my asthma really bad. It lasted almost 3 weeks! Only now I am not coughing and back to training. Squat = Ouch now :(
