I wish he would just put the PDF up on sale. I bought the book, but it's so damn big and heavy and clunky, and you obviously can't ctrl+F irl
Well, I prefer the printed version, I don't like staring at the screen for hours reading a book especially late at night. The bright light tricks your brain into thinking it's daytime and you simply don't get tired and then you have problems falling asleep.
mmhh quick recap before i head out for the game. last 2 weeks super busy with evrything and birthdays. (also started game of thrones which had me glued to the monitor once....) didnt do as much as i was supposed to but atleast the first "pause" was really good. after it all my hurting joints and stuff felt nice again and on my first time after 5 days i was easily doing 5kg more on squats without pain then 5 days prior with pain.
anyways:
squat 45 kg ->67.5 bench 60kg ->70kg (couldnt complete full 5x5 yet tho) ohp 37.5kg -> 42.5 (stepped back down one cause i really couldnt handle the 45 yet for more then 2-3 sets) row 42.5kg -> 55kg dl 65kg -> 90kg (bw! , gripping is starting to get hard )

Posts 2506 i just quit smoking ~10 days after 4 days u will start smelling the street around you and notice your breathing is better after 9 days u will no longer ever want to smoke unless you are pissed off or drinking/drugs your breathing will be "amazing" and much deeper, clearer, like u can take a deep breath. fast track way to start smoking again in an instant is to drink/do drugs which u "need to smoke with". i dont drink and i cant do drugs living here so im good to go. get a vapouriser if u do smoke weed tho

you KNOW that ultimately you will have quit smoking. it is just, plainly, something you HAVE to do. something that WILL happen. it simply is a certainty. sometime in future years you WILL have quit smoking and be looking back at this moment. because it is a FACT that you will quit at some point in your life. in the meantime, you are just waiting for that moment to occur.
if you know "deep down" that you need/want to quit smoking, then you also realise that "deep down" you are just afraid to confront this. you dont quite have the mental strength to do it yet. you are okay just keeping smoking for now, with that nagging worry that you know you should be quitting, but you cant quite do anything about it yet.
after reading those paragraphs you should understand two things:
from paragraph 1: you will definitely quit at some point, its a simple fact; you're basically just waiting for it to happen
from paragraph 2: you are not strong enough to quit yet, so you're actually waiting until you are mentally strong enough to quit
what does this mean!? it means a few things.
first, you dont need to keep beating yourself up about the fact that you're smoking. you know that you will quit when you are strong enough to do so. you aren't quite strong enough right now, so there's no reason to feel bad that you're smoking!
second, most importantly, it means: Get ready. Be aware. one day in the future, maybe even just weeks away from now, you will suddenly realise that you have the mental strength to quit smoking. it could be that your emotions are suddenly balanced in a particular way, that a rare combination of events occurs to put you in that frame of mind, or even that you wake up one day and just randomly feel that today wouldn't be such a bad day to quit smoking.
Get ready, because this day will come, and you will feel it coming, and when it does you will need to remember what you know as a fact: you WILL quit smoking in your life. you are just waiting for the strength, on one fine day, to do so.

Time to quit for good man. We're not going to let you keep doing this. You can do it.

Focus more on your legs/back and less on your (front)deltoids and chest.
Your OHP and bench press are getting way out of hand compared to your rows/squats/deadlifts, this can and will create long term problems. I'm guessing chest/shoulders are your favourite muscle groups, which you are most motivated for?

they were totally out of balance from the start. since i never did anything on legs before and men in my family just have a big chest. (could easily bench 50kg at the start while 20kg squats fucked me up)
im still progressing rather steadily on the squat/dl and pretty much reached a plateau on ohp/bench so guess things will get more balanced from now on.

I am quite confident that it's more a matter of technique than 'good genetics'. With horrible form, you can still bench press insane amounts, with the increase of a shoulder injury risk, but you can still get the weight up. But with horrible form, you can't even attempt to squat properly, and once your form gets better, the weight you can squat goes up for insane amounts.
Not implying you have bad form but do you have the option of posting up a video of your squat? I'm semi curious ^^
I really like the point he's making about how hard work builds character.
Yeah, this is really true. A friend of mine worked out for about half a year and had a killer body. Then 2 years ago he stopped working out altogether. However he still has a fairly good athletic type of body. His work ethics though, are shit. Doesn't do anything and barely gets passes in exams.
^Sounds like me. I was skinny fat all my life until i worked out for a year, then I stopped working out. I still have abs and 14.5 inch arms (not big, but not bad for not working out), and I mainly eat junk food though I never eat till I'm full. I do pushups once in a while, maybe once a week, but that's it. Also I'm lazy as hell, never go to lectures, study 2-3 days before each exam to pass. edit: Yolo
I make a point out of never missing a workout and always lifting 5x a week, even during finals. It does seem to act like nails which keeps all of the shit that goes on in your life from flying overboard.

Had an epic 4 day bender earlier this year too. Lost 4 kgs. I'm normally a pretty watery person, weight will fluctuate during the day by quite a bit but 4 kilos lol...
