Precisely!
When I started out I just did what everyone else was doing to get the bar overhead. For the last few years I've been strict military press.

I didn't realise people were so relaxed about it. Certainly, my push press is much better than my shoulder press.I do train both for different reasons.
Thought my back was getting better, but took a turn for the worse yesterday, seemed to go a lot worse, yet I do not know why...
I'm away for a week, a week next Sunday...so I don't see myself getting back in the gym till 2½ weeks have gone by, minimum..this might be for the best.
Tad annoying as a PT at my gym has just done the Iron Pit challenge and gotten Sq-190, De-230 and bench-110.
ffs...

Yeah deffo. You can show me how to do the farmer's walk. And have a play with those atlas stones, the big one is 160kg, somebody got it on the pedestal in the gym this week.Have no idea when it'll be though, since I'm utterly frcked right now.

It is also an hours drive for me so you can't bail! Have no idea when it'll be though, since I'm utterly frcked right now.
I have a friend on the opposite side of Manchester though so I'll get him to join.
Are you allowed tacky on them? I think I could get 160kg, I'd certainly give it a good go
I've rested all week after twanging a muscle last week. Turned out to not be as bad as I first thought.
Decided to play football last night but stayed in goal for most of the game and had 10 min run out just to try my leg everything was fine :-) So I've been the gym today for a bit of weights and 20min on the cross trainer.
Take it easy for the next few weeks as I defo don't want a full on injury again.

Ab work? Why?
It's a contrary exercise for 'brothers who lift', isn't it?
Notice the core in front of it It's a contrary exercise for 'brothers who lift', isn't it?
nothing like sit ups, hanging knee raises was the closest to any direct ab work I did.
I can however at the right light and angle see a very faint 2 pac
hoping within the next 10kg it'll be visible in all light conditions. Looks more like a HGH gut atm though

Given the monster weights you shift, you probably have an impressive 6 pack hiding under the fat so focus on the calories and exercise. You already do more than enough core work.
It's weaker than I expected. Doing the core work I do now is much easier than when I started (obviously). I do it on what would be a day off so now I train 6 days a week!

You've got a pair of gravity boots?
I used to find hanging leg raises impossible, now I can knock them out fairly easily, then do that upside down thing like a reverse dip.

.I can make about 45° with leg raises
I need some flexibility first, it's piss poor if I'm honest.

maybe look at 2000 and 500 metres on the power-rower again.
Adding joining the 1,250 club to that.Parkrun PB

285kg deadlift
Of those, the 10% body fat and the deadlift are the ones I just can't see myself getting. Something basic is wrong with my deadlift and I can't work it out, it's just not comfortable for me, and therefore I can't even hit 200kg. And as for food, I'm so strict, then within minutes I can smash apart everything in the kitchen. I may as well join weight watchers and pay someone to tell me I've gained another 1lb this week!!
