PHEW
Just finished reading every log entry (over the past week). It got a bit obsessive today and my work has certainly suffered.
Great stuff in here, Iāve learnt a lot. You have a great work ethic and it really is showing.

@ChongLordUno at last, someone who understands me.
@ChickenLittle luckily my dad has started lifting again recently, so he had plenty of questions to ask. Oddly, he seems to have actually started taking peoples advice on stuff, which is unheard of.
@jjoes Thatās really appreciated man. I hope to one day not be the weak one on the site.

Work for today:
1.5 hours bouldering
Incline press:
5 x 60kg
5 x 65kg
5 x 70kg
5 x 5 @ 65kg ss. Front raises
Rear delt fly: some
Assisted dips: lots
Notes:
- Bouldering for the first time in over a year (so their computers tell me). Lots of endurance and technique lost, as expected. Tried to just fit a lot of routes in and occasionally pushing my limits rather than just all out all the time. Still managed to push up into the 6s range a few times, which I was pretty happy about with this little practise and this much bodyweight.
- Quick gym session while waiting to pick up little lady, was meant to be a push press session but false grip push pressing with shot forearms felt like a silly idea so I thought Iād just hammer some weak points a bit.
- No, Iām not too proud to use the assisted dip machine, by that point in the session it was needed to get me into a decent rep range. I am weak, I know.

Assisted are better than mercing form. I think itād behove a lot of people banging out tens of pull-ups by only doing the concentric and then falling back down to slow down and use assisted if necessary presuming muscle growth is a goal

Doing anything after an hour and a half of bouldering sounds tough.

Yeah, plus I figure no-one reading my log was under any illusions that Iām some steroid fuelled monster, so I might as well get the training effect I want out of it.

I went home and had a sandwich inbetween, but yeah, was never going to be a great session.
Oh, well a SANDWICH. That changes everything.

It was a good sandwich.
Turkey, pastrami, bacon, bit of mayo

Did you make it yourself?

Yeah. Iām quite the chef
Any sandwich made for you is at least +2 better.

Youāve not tasted much of my missus food have you?
I think making your own, takes away the first bite mystique of a sandwich you havenāt prepared. Iām occasionally pleasantly surprised by garage sandwiches when very hungry.

So you are a sandwhich fuelled monster then?

Mostly coffee fuelled
I used to have a sarnie supplier in one of my first shops that did sandwiches exactly like you would at home. I think they went out of business though, never seen them since.
Fixed that for ya.

@T3hPwnisher @garagerocker13 Iām just working my way through my copy of Forever, and am struggling to āgetā the concept behind Leaders and Anchors. If Iām reading it right, Leaders are heavy on supplemental and light(er) on main work and accessories and Anchors are heavy on main work and accessories and light on supplemental. Whatās the thinking behind this? Build volume on barbell movements for the Leaders then express whatās been built on Anchors?
