Yeah knee operations are a bit of a family trait! Don’t know if that’s a genetic thing or because we are a footballing family but my dad, uncles and cousins have had them.

These are the chin with leg lifts, obviously not me in the vid, I use more weight, better form and have better abs and obliques…

Really not feeling the session today, couldn’t get going and struggled getting a good contraction/pump. Think my forearms are worn out from the parallette work I’m doing at every opportunity.

Got my first L-sit from the floor last night though which I was buzzing with. Shows I’ve improved core strength, compaction and flexibility.

Played football Monday night, I know I shouldn’t have but didn’t want to let the lads down and leave them short so strapped it up, warmed up well and took it steady. Held up well but didn’t feel or play the best.

Had guests last night so couldn’t do a full training session but squeezed in some bicep work before bed!

bicep tri set

incline curl/ hammer curl/ spider curl
10 reps each exercise for 3 run throughs.

band flexed bicep holds/isometric
2x45 seconds

Quick but effective, biceps were dead and cramping up afterwards and are sore morning.

Here is today’s food for a non training day. haven’t logged salad, some veg and sauce because it’s not worth counting whilst bulking. The lunch is 2 meals at 11 o’clock and 1.30, that’s not one huge random plate of food! Finding it easier to hit calories with a little more fats instead of the carbs, carbs bore me. I think I’m going to add a carb supplement for during and after training.

I really enjoy designing and making things out of spare materials I have lying around at work. I wanted a landmine base whilst training indoors so I didn’t damage the floor or skirting boards so decided to make one.


It has full swivel as I used a shopping trolley wheel! The base is backed with rubber mat and made it the right size to be held down by a dumbell. Turned out better than I thought. Just learning how to weld so pretty happy with it especially since it’s cost absolutely nothing.

I’m currently working on some handles for it. Hopefully get one finished today for my back session tonight.

Made a replica rogue style handle. Still need to tidy it up and spray paint it up but it works sweet.

Also modified this tricep bar into a row bar, close hand and wide are now options, again felt great, other than maybe needing a little more clearance as I caught my sack a couple of times!

Back session tonight.

I take it you are a wielder by trade or in the past?
Those are pretty neat

did you steal a trolley for the trolley wheel lol?

@Rizla81 I work with turbochargers, we have an on site welder but I got sick of asking him to do small welding jobs for me so got him to teach me how to weld. Only been doing it a few weeks but getting there.

@duketheslaya I think somebody stole it at some point but it wasn’t me! Plus I put it back where it was minus the wheel lol

Nice job on the creations mate. That bent upright handle is an interesting beastie.

Thanks buddy. Seen Paul Carter using one in his recent yoke article, could only find Olympic fit ones which I would need to modify anyway so thought I would save myself a bit of money and make one.
