The dumbbells are a little easier to balance than using a bar but still hard. I have gone a fair bit heavier than this previously so just trying to build back up again. You are right though they are disgusting

This is so weird, no one would do this kind of nonsense if the internet wasn’t a thing (well I dunno probably still would people are stupid). At least use an SSB and reduce the risk!

Squat - volume

60 x 5
80 x 3.
100 x 2
120 x 8 x 3 sets - RPE 8,
Right hand side of my back was cramping and complaining on these. I lost the weight forward a little on rep 8 on tbe first set. This made me have to dig in with my toes. My broken toe did not like this one little bit.
Back was complaining all through these, on the last set I got a big cramp after rep 2, had to rack the bar put my belt on and do the other 6 reps. but legs felt pretty good. I’ll take that,

Bench press
Bar x 10 - warm ups have band around the wrists to force me to pull the shoulders apart.
60 x 5 - band
80 x 3 - band
90 x 1 - no band

95 x 6- RPE 8

Solid reps not much pausing going on now. Very happy with this much volume though.

Back cramp after a few reps cut these to only 5 reps. Middle of my back especially right hand side is smashed to bits. Quite a bit of pain.

Sorry to hear that, any ideas what’s going on with your back, any thoughts on how to improve it?

It might just be because he is extremely old

When I said this I meant it as a positive. My body is exactly how I expect it to feel at the end of a hard week - sore.

My back is just fatigue from the deficit deadlifts. Last few reps used way too much back and I could feel it last night.

And this of course

Dude, there’s drugs for that! Like alcohol is a great choice for example. I hear good things about pills (local drug dealer… psychiatrist - whatever your insurance supports you in).

Its way cheaper and easier if you just buy it underground, lol.

$200 for a 10mL vial of pharmacy deca
$30 for a 12mL vial of UGL that’s near the same quality

Anavar is even worse.

And insurance probably wont cover :skull:

Nice sunny Sunday here today. Spent the day servicing and detailing my misses sisters car. The service didn’t take too long but the clean, clay bar, polish, wax and seal added with an engine detail and cleaning the dirty interior and before till I knew it, I had been at it for 9 hours. Was pretty tired and my back was pretty sore after all the bending down.
Deload week next week so I can lighten the training up a bit and get some extra recovery.
