Eventually, holding the bar became too much for my hands and even the smith was slipping out of my grip. I’m tired, I’m hungry and this is my 300th post in this thread.

I’m far from 300lbs, as I’m sitting at 255lbs at the moment. However, I will get there one day… and when I do…

I managed to get to 5 100m sprints before I just stopped. My sprints are slow and I really hope nobody was watching, it was that bad.

Yeah, I sometimes wonder if people see me and wonder why I’m jogging for such short distances.

Oh yeah well…
You know that… Um… Uhhhh

Shut up!

My back has been feeling a little bit off for a while though. I’m just giving it a rest from the heavier weights for a while.

Zottman curls never seem to not turn my face into a contorted, agonizing painful grimace. For 20lbs, and such a simple movement it hurts more than anything.

Trying to work on my squat form after reading today’s article. While my form isn’t bad, trying to correct it is a bitch. Also I’m trying to use my belt less often, so I kept it off for the first 5 sets, then put it on for the last 5 when I began to tire a bit.
