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

Not familiar with this amount, presume less than a million and more than 5? :wink:

I copy and paste the workout from my phone, looks like I must have held the e down with my fat fingers. Should say 5 reps. LOL

This is so weird, no one would do this kind of nonsense if the internet wasnā€™t a thing (well I dunno probably still would people are stupid). At least use an SSB and reduce the risk!

Squat - volume
Bar x 10
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. Iā€™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
95 x 6- RPE 8
95 x 6 - RPE 9
95 x 6 - RPE 9.5
95 x 6 - RPE 10
Solid reps not much pausing going on now. Very happy with this much volume though.

Bent over row
95 x 5. x 3 sets (198 lbs)
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.

Rolling tricep extension
20kg dumbells x 3 sets

Sorry to hear that, any ideas whatā€™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, thereā€™s drugs for that! Like alcohol is a great choice for example. I hear good things about pills (local drug dealerā€¦ psychiatrist - whatever your insurance supports you in).

I had enough alcohol and non prescription drugs in my 20ā€™s to last me the rest of my life. I am not that person anymore, thank fk.

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 thatā€™s near the same quality

Anavar is even worse.

And insurance probably wont cover :skull:
