a few things with this session. Deadlifts were good except grip, I may have to change to over under grip as overhand was slipping today. I also made a wrist roller between sets. Used a broomstick, a screw, some electric cords and cable ties. I done a few sets with 2.5kgs. Fuck me were they hard. I couldn’t only manage one up and down for a set. Defo a keeper
Really pl.eased with the PBs. Thought it was gonna be a shit session, but wasn’t. I bought a ps3 a few days ago and consistently been going to bed after 1 o clock and have had a constant headache since. Bench was especially pleasing as I had no spot, so I attacked it and they flew up. Didn’t so extensions or heavy BB curls because my ligaments / tendons and killing me at the back of elbow area.
Forearms were swollen as anything after pinches and rollers

Really attacked the shoulder press and a great PB for me. a few months ago I was at 70 x 1. Deadlifts was hard. Used a profited grip up until second rep of last set. Had to switch to over under.

That was the last 5x5 I done. I had a leg injury from work and couldnt do squats and failed at 98 x 5 (got 4). So i decided to do a push pull legs, push pull power / traps 6 days a week programme. I missed training 6 days a week.

I woke up in the middle of night after this workout with the worst pain in my elbows. They felt like they were going to snap. I just cant handle heavy bb curls. Gonna lay off of them. The pain is with me a week later.

This was todays workout. Pleased with the pb. But my elbows are giving me grief. Got no idea what it is… maybe tendonitus (sp)?
Calories are around the 6k + mark. I dont have a maximum, but if i get less than 5k i get depressed lol. Work is hard. Drinking 8 pints of whole milk a day as well trying to keep up.
Good steady progress, keep up the good work. Thought I’d check back in with you as my flat bench is about 90KG, and you’re up to almost 100KGX3! Just when I thought I might be catching you up haha
Good work on the deadlifting, sounds like you should get the elbow problems sorted out though. Maybe take a trip up the M1 and see BBB if you’re driving, I’m sure he could sort some things out!

Mate i weigh a lot more than you, so youre well ahead of me lb for lb! Ive noticed youre not doing your log too much anymore, its a pain isnt it. Glad youre still training though.
I think my elbow problems are from the bb curling, but thanks for the heads up about bbb. I thought he was in wales?! Ive ordered some ghrp6 for the ligament and tendon benefits. Havent taken it yet though! Update your log mate!
haha
