Started with stretching calves, hamstrings, quads, hips and did some bodyweight squats before starting that little workout. Going to have one leg day for strength, and another for volume.
Head is all over the place right now, training is an escape from the mindfuck thats becoming my life.
Giving up when things seem impossible will never bring you happiness. You must go through the misery, the pain, and the difficult times no matter what road you take. The only reason you’ll end up unhappy is if you always took the easy way out and never worked hard for the things you wanted. Dont regret your decisions and never make yourself feel small or insignificant for getting upset about small things, for it’s all the small situations that take you to the bigger picture.
Keep on strong.
Whats up mate? Anything you need advice on?
Nah, just feel stuck in the situation I’m in. Just cant seem to find a job where I can I can get move up the company, all there is are dead end jobs and it’s starting to get me down. The situation with my woman is ridiculous and I every time I save a decent amount of money, something comes up and I have to blow it all again.
Hammering arms today for egos sake, I’m aiming to get an extra inch on to my arms in the next couple months.

Not really a great workout, once again one of my collars for randomly went missing and it took me 10 minutes to find it half way through my workout. Need to work on my arm strength more, I can lift heavier than that but my form gets pretty bad so I’m looking to progress from here - heavier weights, strict form.
That picture is slightly pumped, arms were about 14.75 with the left slightly smaller than the right. Aiming for 15.5 not pumped.

Right elbow wasnt feeling right today so that would have made back work pretty pointless, so I’ve swapped my split around to:
Back
Chest Shoulders
Arms
Legs
Didnt realise how sore my bi’s would get after not working them directly since… I have no idea when.
Weight: 160

Diet has been shit today:
Shake w/ whole milk
1/4 Cheese burger with chips
Shake w/ whole milk
Chicken Pasty + For Godness Shakes drink
=======================================================
Making a bologniase tonight for the next day or two, but dinner will be scrambled eggs with baked potato and cheese cause I have eggs that need using yesterday.
hammer the olive oil mate. its so easy to do, and doesnt fill you up. I just had a meal of chicken and chips… murderous to eat, took me a good hour. All the time i was thinking i could just down 9 tbls of olive oil and it would have more calories…
Ruggers: Yeah, thats your nickname now haha. I’ll have to start doing that next time I get to a decent shop I’ll go get a couple bottles.
Weighed in at 157 after work today, dehydrated and tired as hell. Had some bolognaise, a coffee, a three and a half hour nap, time to go hit the weights though I cant be arsed. Managed to eat and drink back to 162 though.

==========================================
Oh yeah! bar didnt feel bad on the back, got a vid of the last set, lost the cable to upload it to the comp though. All of this felt great, form was good not as deep as it should be but I feel it was a better squat. Feeling it in the hams and tear shaped muscle by the knee, I like having a volume day and a “heavy” day.
Not that 92KG is heavy but there you go. Good workout.
Feeling knackered, just had chicken curry and rice, need to get my coffee down me, work my back the best I can with my nice playing up shoulder and post workout, sleep.

Went easy on pull ups to start with cause I’ve somehow tweaked my shoulder again, got form better for dumbell rows with my right arm and the cleans showed a bit more strength.
zZZZzzzzZZZzzZzzz
Heavy is relative mate. Good work. I love a bit of volume

======================================================
Focused on the weak arm with rowing, and really squeezing the muscles.
Meeting with BBB on monday to sort myself out and take this year as much chance to get big and strong.
Weight right now, around 166. I’ve noticed that I’m starting to finally get some chest and someone at work today said my forearms are about as big as my upper arms. Looking at this picture I kind of see what they mean, thats pretty weird.
