Thanks! It’s definitely still a work in progress.
Is that you’re own power rack? How much does that cost?
Hey it’s Malva pudding man!
Yep. Cost was under just $400 Took me three years to save enough money to buy it. Worth every penny!
400 USD? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, perhaps… But then I need to save up for an olympic bar and associated plates. Still… cheaper than a gym membership in the long run
Good job with the routine btw, how’s you’re health status, do you have hyperthyroidism and associated symptoms under control? Fingers crossed for a bill of good health (waiting eagerly in anticipation of reply)
I was wondering what happened to you (profile is now hidden from public) and was thus worried something terrible might’ve happened

Yep, I ordered it from Amazon. It’s only rated for 1000lb, but… pretty sure if I ever hit that 1000lb squat I will have enough money to buy another one 
It seems to be! I am hoping it is in remission…finally! Took long enough. I could have already been half way to my 1000lb squat by now if I wouldn’t have had to deal with that shit. Thanks for asking.
Just been working on staying healthy and getting stronger.
I read on another thread you are having some issues. Hope you get it sorted out. Daily pain meds are nothing but trouble.

Not on daily pain meds at this moment, rather it’s an option I’ve been given… An option which I’m not looking into yet due to the side effects that incur (and long term risks associated with) daily pain medication.

Will grab the rest later.
Felt like dogshit this morning. Self induced stupidity. I was running late yesterday so I didn’t stop and get my big glass of iced tea at the local beer barn. I drank the water at Bitch Hilda’s house and now I pay for my sins. Bloated, heart fluttering, the shits. Why am I too stupid to learn? Anyway, hopefully this will pass before I go to the gym tonight and possibly salvage the rest of my workout.
On a more positive note… I think I actually felt my lats on 5x5!

Threw in some single chins along the way. I have gotten away from doing these and need to add them back in.

I’ve always found volume is king for pull ups. I still don’t do it, but I know it works.

Lol I have never achieved this!
Nor have I recently, but when I did, I got really good at them. And pretty strong abs to go with it.

@unreal24278 Thank you for the kind words back there on the other thread.
You’re putting in good effort Chick’, and your lifts are showing it!

You’re a valued and respected member here @ChickenLittle, I think you’d have had even more support if most of the regulars hadn’t already given up on that Instagram shitshow of a thread.

You have to be talking about the idiot who asked if she looked like she was on 'roids or not. I was upset with myself for even clicking on that damn topic. I read about 40 posts and couldn’t stomach anymore.
In addition to her pathetic attempt to get compliments (and narcissism), I couldn’t stand the idiot guys in there asking her for pics. Grow the f$#@ up. It’s like they’ve never seen a girl before… a fat one at that. I hate the Kardashian look of a hyyoooge ass and tiny waist. I just see fat.

I thought she looked good. But would I ask for training or nutrition advice from her? No. Would I want to spend any time at all on her log or interacting with her in any way? Absolutely not. Instagrams full of young girls sticking their asses in the camera looking for validation, why bring that shit here? At least on Instagram they can make money from it.

@dagill2 and @Frank_C The fat ass comment was probably out of line but she had no reason to jump on me. I honestly have never wanted an ass like that. I have a whole flock of cousins with BAS ( big ass syndrome) and I am thankful I didn’t inherit it.

I’ve never been a fan of that look. It’s a personal preference. I think I prefer an athletic look. To me, the soft physique with a big arse and legs, slim waist, and boobs doesn’t exactly scream hard work and discipline. It’s just a woman who carries her fat in places that some prefer.

FINALLY!!! Do you think the same about boobs? My pancake ass deadlifted over 3x bodyweight and barely a cup boobs= less bounce and resistance during conditoning
Didn’t see it because I quit following along, but I probably would have agreed. I hate that women think Kim Kardashian is attractive. She’s fat! She had a procedure to move it to her ass. That’s all. You know what’s attractive? A physique that is the result of hard work and discipline. And that Instagram crap ain’t it.
