Seems kinda weird, do you go outside and push that thing around? The local strongman gym has one, but I also own one. Mine was on sale at strengthshop.co.uk when I got it, about 8 months ago, I can't remember how much it was but it wasn't over £100. You can spend like 6 times that though. And yeah, I just do it at the end of the garden. I tend to do ~50m, with 90-120s rests a total of about 8 times. | ||

I think I'm going to do some sort of deload starting tomorrow. My muscles feel fine, but I've developed clicks in my shoulders and elbows, and one elbow is sore in the joint. My left knee gets sharp pains sometimes where the patellar tendon joins the tibia, an old injury that I only ever got when I did running (first time I've gotten it when I haven't been running). | ||

Sounds like what they do during Crossfit sessions. I often see them doing pushups, squats, BB/DB overhead presses & stuff like that I really should try it someday, since even the strongest guys in my gym attend these sessions | ||

Slow, controlled reps. 2x9 18.5kg db curls (both arms same time) 2x10 16kg db curls (alternating both arms) 2x10 11kg concentration curls (1 arm at a time, super slow reps, hard contraction) Immediately followed by 2x15 6kg db curls Got a good soreness. Noticing gains in past couple months primarily due to drastically lowering the weight to 11kg, focusing on the contraction of the bicep. | ||

Summary: My best lifts (in relation to a calculated 1-rep-map are: Squat: 136kgx12reps Overhead Press: 66kgx9reps Deadlift: 157,5kgx13reps Push Press: 85kgx5reps All done on March 31th. Even though I increase my 5-3-1 cycles more agressively than I should (i.e. 10kg instead of 5kg on Deadlift), the reps still go up. On the one hand this is a very nice development, but it is accompanied with a substantial weight gain. Finally all the stress of moving and working all the time caught up to me. Since I don't have a kitchen, maintaining control over my diet is very difficult. I'm probably up to 110kg now and it really shouldn't increase any further than that. I have started running again this week though, my wish of getting really strong is only second to not getting fat again, so I have to compromise here. And I have started to prepare meals again (at my parents place), so that I don't have to eat out all the time. So things are moving in the right direction. My stress-levels should finally decrease end of april, since then everything (kitchen, fixing the old and the new flat up) should be taken care of, so if I get to that point at around 110kg, it will get much easier. But this is really a test right now. My training discipline is as good as it ever was, so that is obviously is a good thing. Training-wise, all I can say is that a set of Deadlift for 13 reps is just unbelievably exhausting, but I just won't increase my training weights by 20kg and then stall in 4weeks time. I got into trouble for dropping the plates too loudly and damaging the bumpers (they are very good quality...) in my week-end gym, so this sucks. They have a nice squat cage, so I don't really want to get thrown out there. But not somehow dropping Deadlifts loudly at weights above 150kg is literally impossible, so maybe I have to resort to RDLs when I'm there. In other news, I found a weightlifting club in my new town, which is fucking awesome, but they didn't respond to my email and I don't know where they train at the moment. But this is obviously a solveable problem. And I wouldn't have time until May anyway. I guess that covers everything important, so below are my workouts from the last four weeks. 04.03-10.03 No training because of illness (light flu) 11.03-17.03 + Show Spoiler + 12.03.2013

+ Show Spoiler + where was i? wednesday skipped, last minute college stuff (got it in well, 43 pages of madness crap). then skipped thurs and had god awful starving nutrition, crazy miserable stress due to mom's asshole boyfriend treating me like a dog and shouting at me & various emotional turmoils. was starving myself and dying. got a new job (7 hours super fast nonstop cleaning with a 15 min break for £4.50/hour....now thats slave labour, but the job itself is fine, dont have to talk to any donkeys, im good at cleaning). but had to skip friday's workout because of it (was there 9am till 5.30pm and made £31.50 lol). so i got the courage to go in saturday morning, weak as fuck and dying: squat 70kg 5-5-5 bench 70kg 6-6-6 pclean 50kg 15 singles ohp 50kg 3-3-3 pullup 3-3-3 curl 15kg 5-5-5 that was is, i was gone for, there was no doubt about it. it was the end sunday: run 22 mins had my last days working at the shop. they'd asked me to leave coz i was too miserable/depressed (on occaision) and had complaints and death threats (im a real people person). i wouldnt have a problem with it (you get more on the dole), but my mom's bf is a cocksucker and will try to get me chucked out the house if he finds out im not working. he says things to my mom like "he needs to go to a doctor" to try to influence how she thinks about me. hes an insane control freak but hes also extremely charming and forceful/dominating, women love him (hes literally "asshole james bond") until he steps too far and they realise. hes trying to get rid of me, i told him to "stop talking to me like a dirt", "you need to talk to me like a person" and he shouted back basically "i dont care about you". cumstain anyway thats why i have to work for £4.50/hour now. the new job is walking distance though and like i said you dont have to fucking talk to any assholes or get bullied by anyone. monday squat 90kg 5-5-5 bench 80kg 8-8-6 deadlift 130kg 2-2-2-3-1, 120kg 5-5 ohp 50kg 2 pullup 1-2-2-2-2-1 curl 15kg 5-5-5 well as you can imagine with a shitty last 2 weeks (2 workouts in 2 weeks, one of them being -10kg or worse in everything, and really shit nutrition) , i was delighted to be feeling alive with the squat and then couldn't believe what happene in bench press - 8 reps flew out. deadlift was fucked at 130 tho and we will see about OHP tomorrow lol. + Show Spoiler + as for smoking, ive had 6 cigarettes in 30 days. these were in high risk situations such as starting new job etc. i want to smoke when i get upset, depressed, stressed, angry. also BEING THIRSTY (for water) contributes to these times greatly. anyway i'm well off of them right now. also no more working in a booze/cigarette shop where your lone coworker goes to smoke every 40 minutes helps. need to run again today and do college assigment for tomorrow! my itchy/damaged balls are back in full force and pain again and hoping they heal within 1 week before i have holiday abroad. theyve been fucked for 3 weeks now already and its ongoing hell. no wonder i fucking smoke sometimes | ||

I had that a few times on 5/3/1, if your 1rm is off you can end up doing some ridiculous sets. Much better than doing 5 reps at that weight and not having pushed as hard as you could though. I always tried to keep the weight high enough that I never did more than 10 in the first week, but then you're cutting back on food so you probably don't want to push it too hard. | ||

I know you're dealing with a lot of stress and turmoil - we've all been there, and we're not going to trivialize the difficulty of managing it - but you are ultimately the one who decides between two alternatives: 1.) You can allow a shitty situation to dictate every other productive aspect of your life (i.e. school, gym, diet, smoking, etc.) OR 2.) You can take sole ownership of those aspects of your life that you have full control over (hey, same list as above! Imagine that.) It's a cheesy analogy, but it's the difference between a buoy and an island: one gets tossed around by every slightest motion in the water, and the other is solid and consistent through every storm. No matter how bad things get, there are always things in your life over which you have control, and it's up to you to decide that they're important enough to you to stay the course. It's much easier said than done, but you should simply ignore how your mom's boyfriend talks to you. Just throw it out; it's trash you don't need. He can talk to you like shit all he wants, but you know you're not shit, we know you're not shit, so his opinion is worthless. It's not even about proving him wrong; it's about fulfilling your own potential. | ||

i dont get lifting. went in yesterday with 3 days of rest, took a nice warm up and had a really inconsistent shitty session (even though i managed 130/160) today, barely slept last night, was sore all day in my back, legs were tired, thought i might of pulled something, and didn't have time to get a good roll/warm up in. and i fucking crushed my lifts. Snatch: 50 70 80 90 100 105 110 115 5x120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 130 - no misses. no wraps or straps either. Cj: 50 70 90 100 110 120 125 130 135 140 (all perfect no wraps no belt) 145 150 153x (slipped out on the jerk). Idk but sometimes lifts just feel so easy when your body feels like shit. | ||

mile run, 8min db bench, 50lb 4x5 - felt like a big step up from 45lb dbs, but i made it to 4x5. after i hit 5x5, ill probably focus on dips and then weighted dips exclusively. db rows, 55lb, 4x5 - grip was fine, probably because it had gotten stronger from doing deadlifts. aiming for 5x5 next time. pistols, 5x3 - feeling a bit more comfortable with both legs. still cant get all the way down on my left leg without stabilizing with my hand on the bench. i might try holding on to a 5lb dumbbell next time. | ||
