Great job on the deadlift PR, you’re progress is looking unstoppable right now - really enjoying watching you make these gains lol.
If you don’t mind me asking, where are studying? Would be sweet to train together at some point, if you’d be up for that.
EDIT: No hard feelings at all if you don’t want to give out that info/meet up with a stranger you met on the internet - I’d totally get it lol.

Ok, we should try and do a training session in the summer after I graduate!
I will wear my clan tartan for the the highland lifting!

29/9/2013 Bench and chest
Shitty mood, shitty sleep and shitty energy.
Dingied 531 again today to max out on bench, which put me in an even shitter mood. Should have gotten that 120k.
I guess i’m just expecting somewhat exceptional results from myself rather than realistic within the given timeframe, I should be content considering I have hit 2 of my 3 starting goals for 2013 on this log…yet one can’t help but feel smothered by mediocrity.
Bench
50k x 5
60k x 3
80k x 3
100k x 1
110k x 1
115k x 1
120k x 0
60k x 15 reps x 3 sets
Incline Bench
60k x 10 reps x 2 sets
50k x 12 reps x 2 sets
40k x 15 reps x 2 sets
Here is myself 292 days ago where I was 2 weeks into my diet.
4lbs heavier there and a lot fatter, still look just as mediocre tho.

You’re looking bigger in general as well as leaner (granted the beard standard has fallen).
I don’t know if you were looking to be a lot bigger by now, but considering you dropped a ton of weight and got impressively lean and are now being smart about adding size, what you’ve achieved is far from mediocre.
PS, seeing what I can rep 110kg for on front squats Tuesday - hit that double yet?

Yeah Rattle, you’re basically the same weight but much leaner, lot more cut. Very good progress. That was a long cut man, and you haven’t been back in gaining mode for all that long. Enjoy the journey, don’t be so hard on yourself or expect huge changes overnight…I’ve always liked the quote that goes something like “People overestimate what they can accomplish in one year, but underestimate what they can accomplish in 10 years.” I know you’re in the game for the long haul, you’re gonna be a beast!

What’s it like? The trailer looks awesome and I heard an interview with James McAvoy on the radio today. I’m really excited to see it.
