Woke at 228.4 lbs, looking same as recently.

@danteism I got that from you I think. I swear it was you who told me in Finland the saying goes that if you weigh less that 220 lbs you have to use the kindergarten scales.

Not that I meant it in that sense at all :joy:

I was just referring to not being lean any more myself.

Is there still a possibility that you’ll jump onto a bodybuilding/physique stage one day, or have you erased that possibility for now?

For now, yes. I want my 700/400/700 before I’m 40 and that’s my focus. Once I get it I’ll see where I go.

Meh. Mortal numbers…you need higher goals.

They’ll do as a starting point. From what I’ve seen, they’re numbers that are at the very least respectable for the weight I think I’ll need to be to get them. They’re also what I’m confident I can achieve.

Once I get there things get more interesting. I may decide to move into equipped to get 800/500/800, but that needs a team and the only team in Canberra is a team of fuckwits. There’s one lady who competes geared though, so I’d probably ask her if I could train with her. She’s pretty damn good.

I can’t express how I wish I could train with you. We would push each other.

That’s some compliment. Thank you.

You’d probably hate me after a short time. I’d be constantly trying to pull you back in and harping on about the long game and niggling about technique. I’m a very boring person to train with because I never go off plan or do ‘fun’ stuff. I’m also annoying if I have respect for you (@losthog you fit in that category) because I’ll give you honest advice and call you out on errors.

Tate says you gotta think your training partner will stab you in the back of the neck during a set if you don’t keep an eye on them.

You would reel me in and I would push you to expand. It would work great.

Oh really? How do you figure that?

Today’s training

Leg extensions, ab wheel rollouts, jumps

Squat, walked out (trained in the evening for once, mono in use)
5xbar
5xplate/143 lbs
2x2 plates/231 lbs
5x2x275 lbs
12x275 lbs
5x275 lbs

Work sets with 10 second rests, except between 12 and five which was 30 seconds because the bar slipped and I had to rack. Took three minutes in total: a minute for 5x2, a minute for 12 and then a minute of rack, unrack and then five.

Paused squat, first paused for a two count then normal reps
2x5x275 lbs

Need to watch my chin tuck and eyes up. When I’m tired, I lift my chin.

DB goblet squats
2x12x115 lbs - fuck. These.

Bar only good morning
50 reps

DB rows
3x12x130 lbs - nearly puked after set two

Done in an hour

Woke at 229 lbs, looking decent. Less watery, but some lower ab bloating.

I put these up for the T-ransformation. Took then before bed. All the way into fatboy territory now.
