Don't like them big phones- too big!

[Subby]

Here's a vid- bigger back then, but still not huge:

Deadlift 265kg (584lbs) x 7 Reps - YouTube

A bit rich coming from a punny cunt like me but his form is a back injury waiting to happen. He really flexes and wiggles instead of thrusting the hips to lock it out.

Meh...I can't say anything as I can only do half what he does so I'll shut up

[Roboklopp]

Aye, does the trick tho. Let's face it, he's done that for years & got away with it. Either of us tried pick that up once, we'd snap ourselves in 2.

I'd like to get 220 which I think is realistic if I stayed injury free. 250 is my real goal, but not sure that'll ever happen.

Work situation means that I can/will only go to the gym twice a week. Monday and Wednesday. I'll supplement with some dumbbell stuff at home as well as bodyweight bits every now and again; but interested to know what you chaps would do with those twice weekly sessions?

[Roboklopp]

Compound stuff dude:

Shoulder press
Squat
Deadlifts*
Pull-ups (or chins if you must)*
Bench press
Bent over rows*

You could split them by a pull & push sesh- I'll star the pulls, rest are push.

[Roboklopp]

You can do your arms & core at home- or even the pulls/chins if you get a bar or power station.

Redcar half marathon. Made it round in 1:33 so not great but slowly creeping back to a reasonable level of fitness

Great Yorkshire Run in the stinking heat of Sheffield. Hobbled around on one leg in a time of 53:32.

Yeah compound exercises. Hit multiple muscle groups on the days at the gym and the home stuff you can do plyometric/bodyweight workouts to give you a solid well built core.

You can vary the exercises http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/workout/exercise.html

Scroll dow to the image of the man and woman and click on a body part and it'll give you some workouts to follow.

Done just over 10k tonight! Tried out new trail trainers aswell! Surprisingly comfy

[Subby]

Leg day today, meh, least favourite day for working out but needs must.

Squats, hammy curls and quad extensions are the name of the game today....and lots of them. All in all I've 200+ reps to plough through. Going to be sore on Thursday. I always get sore 2 days after I do leg day, not the next day but the day after that. Odd.

[Roboklopp]

Aye, me too. Am reckoning it's cos of muscle size. Dunno why tho. Defo less DOMS tho than when I used to do as many reps as you.

But having to sprint across Leeds train station 2 days after I did all them deads was horrendous.

Bit of hill training... And that's me done for September

[Roboklopp]

I'm not too fussy about diet mate- just try to eat balanced with sufficient protein. Don't try shy away from carbs either.
