32. Still laugh and have as much fun as I ever did. Hotter than I've ever been too...:wink:

You could well of ruined someone's day with your unreasonable complaining, why don't you and go apologize eh?

I would drop the bar on 1 rep max attempts if I could but my gym has no bumper plates or deadlift platform.

This.

Don't be all jelly cos I'm an ambidextrous measurement system flipping muthaf£%ka! :smokin: 30mm dowel, 300mm long and 1m of rope for the metrics or 1" dowel, 1' long and 3' of rope for them imperial folk!

Got a piece of wooden dowel, bout an inch thick and 1' long with a hole drilled centrally, piece of rope about a meter or so long tied through the hole with a loop on the other end. Thread loop through a weight plate and then pass the dowel through the loop to secure the plate. Hold your arms out holding the dowel with an…

Women that fish....:love: :flowerforyou: Incase you hadn't guessed I fish myself! I've had many hobbies over the years but fishing remains a constant.

Just an update to say how's things are going (read not going!) with this program. About a month before I started this I strained my left hip flexor stretching. Although I couldn't feel it happening my body started to compensate for this, I wasn't distributing power evenly which caused issues elsewhere on the body. I see an…

I don't get embarrassed about it, that's one of societies ills. I'm open about it and just tell them as it is. I don't want my kids to feel embarrassed if they have a problem and feel unable to talk to me about it.

Yeah completely possible. In fact people who think it's not possible and think if you're talking to a woman and getting on, having a laugh etc that it must be leading somewhere or that one of us has other intentions.... well, those people get on my my tits!

Guys a ming mong, proper **** socket. F&@k him.

Yes I could come to regret getting a tattoo but it's just a marking on my skin, it can be covered and in the grand scheme of things it's of little relevance. There a lots of things you can come to regret in life. Right now I seriously regret taking a job with my family, a regret just like I could regret having a tattoo.…

Hahaha yes! THIS!

Lol @ life changing! Nope, you get one and life carries on as usual.

I did it for about 8 months. It was ok, it got me lean but I wasn't as strong, I missed carbs and eating out or at friends etc can become problematic. Now back eating carbs (and plenty of em) and I'm much happier and stronger. To each their own though!

This.

Um-ber-farking-leave-able! You should be seriously proud!

First workout done. Really hammered me, no chance of me squatting all out whilst I'm on this program DYELB!

Haha! A match made in heaven eh?! The way the strongman explained it was that had my legs been longer they would compensate for some of the lift over a longer range of motion and that my torso been long meant that a hell of a lot of strain was taken up by my lower back. I think that's right, it made sense at the time…

I did think about switching to front squats because I imagine my hamstrings are going to take some stick with this program! Not done paused squats, watched a video of Klokov doing em, going to go research them now. Thanks for the advice, appreciated.

What are you trying to achieve? Is it a case of just dropping bodyfat or are you lifting too?

LMFAO!

I've benched 150kg but that was after a set of 140x8 so I imagine I could do more if I went low reps. I come from a predominantly bodybuilding background and the move towards out and out strength has been a recent thing, hence the high reps. Squat is 220kg. Deadlift is 200kg. I know most people have a much better dead than…

Plenty of people injure themselves on bikes, which is preventable in most cases. Shall we stop that too?

Aren't you a lovely lady. :ohwell:

Erm...from time to time yeah!

Well I think I'll go with that, aim for 215kg. If I manage it easily I can always have a crack at 220. Thanks for the advice.

Amazing! Well done!

Thanks Julie! The first time you got a 30lb increase, did that match what you estimated you'd lift? I currently pull 200kg (on a good day, I can't always lock it, hence why I'm here!) Do you think if I aimed for 210kg that would be about right or too conservative? What I really want is 220kg (5 plates aside, be soooo happy…

Thanks for the reply. I'm aware of stronglifts yeah but it's quite similar to what I already do, so I'm not sure it would benefit me? Yes I don't follow a program but I do follow a rough training philosophy and that is I have a leg day, push day and pull day, based around the squat, bench and deadlift respectively. My…
