Anyone else always check Diddly's lifts to see whether they could get one rep at his 12 RM? Humbling.
(I think I could get 1 chin up with a 20kg plate...but that doesn't really count)
I think it would take me another three years before I get anywhere near Didely's weights, that's six years constant training. But then, Didely would have raised the bar and be lifting more after those three years! It seems that once you get to a certain point, progress slows down to a trickle, so I think in years, rather than months for certain goals.(I think I could get 1 chin up with a 20kg plate...but that doesn't really count)

Nice squat Smiffy- stick some wraps on and get 300 done!
That was wrapped I should be good for 280 raw anyway though!
Not my training session but just got back from visiting Graham Hicks who pulled a 400kg raw PB for me on a deadlift bar I've been working on
He made it look pretty easy too!!!
Can't wait to get back lifting heavy

Nothing yet, but looking forward to exploring the outdoor gym in Finsbury Park tonight with my dipping belt and a plate or two from home!
Please tell me it isnt this abomination! http://www.tgogc.com/How-To-Use/Leg-Press.html
Look at the two avid trainers that they use to explain the equipment

Wedding in 52 days so upping cardio. Fasted HIIT sprints, 7:30am followed by weights at 5pm.
Lowering calories gradually, which is having a negative effect on the strength.
There is some evidence to suggest that fasted cardio is a very bad idea in terms of maintaining lean mass. You get a very high cortisol spike from the training, and levels stay high for quite a while. You might get better results reducing calories more generally but not around workouts.Lowering calories gradually, which is having a negative effect on the strength.
Probably did just a little too much today, but felt fine at the time...
Back Extensions - 2x20
Squats - 3x12-8 (40/80/120kg), 4x5 with 135kg and 1x5 with 140kg

High Pull - 5x12-5 reps
Power Clean - 8x2 reps
Standing BB strict press - 4x12-8 reps
Deadlift - 3x1 and then 1x5 reps
BB BOR - 4x12-8 reps
Wide Grip Pull Up - 4x12-8 reps
Seated Pulley Row - 4x12-8 reps
And, because Summer's around the corner, the shallowness in me made me do...
