Alright all - not posted here for a while!

I'll scroll back a few pages, but all the regulars still on here?

Not much really changed my end, working legs in religiously every week and I weigh almost 100kgs despite wanting to drop some kilos for summer (started to use MFP again to keep me in line!). Deadlifts haven't gone up but I don't do them that often any more, squat feels stronger and bench similar or a bit stronger.

Start with some hill sprints at the weekend if today's leg session hasn't destroyed me.

I thought you had died!

Most people are still on here I think. I'm cutting now as well. It's bleak after a winter of boozing and not eating very cleanly.

lol yep! bank holidays now...

I find it hard to eat below 2500 per day!

[dirty boy]

Back on the 38kgs for dumbbell press!

Nice feeling.

I think all my strength levels are back to what they were pre my 4 month gym break, so it's nice to finally get back there. Downside is that i've neglected diet somewhat in order to do that, but now got a chance to spend next 3 months cutting and getting in shape for summer.

OT Anyone going to BodyPower?

Yes, the wife and I have booked our tickets (had them some time) hoping to draw on a bit of inspiration and motivation.

I'm comfortable in the knowledge i'll be the smallest and weakest person there

(someone has to make everyone else look good right?)

I want to go to stand next to the strongmen, see if I look normal amongst them

I know i'd fit right in.

PS

Does anyone else seem to be able to 'up their game' somewhat when there are attractive females working out?

Just curious

Yes.

Hot females in vicinity = visually induced performance enhancement

For those of you who use kettlebells, this may be of interest to you.
I know a member on here struggled for heavier weight and another member asked where to buy heavier ones?
Just seen this on a strongman group im in which may help.
Buy a strongman duckwalk such as https://www.strengthshop.co.uk/strongman-equipment...
then load plates on and swing!

Leg day today, not sure what i'm going to do as it's my birthday. Probably just gas with the other members for an hour

[Johnny]

Quick blast at home in between work shifts...

Shoulders - lat raises, front raises, rear delt flys, standing db press...

[ambuletz]

5x5 90kg squat
5x3reps 90kg Deadlift.

I cheated myself and didn't do my bench. Probably felt abit insecure doing it during peak time.

I've done two round of 5,6,7,8 reps on my primary lifts now, which is about 4/5 weeks worth. Considering a deload next week with some box squats and rackpulls instead.

Oly lifting tomorrow though

[Johnny]

Quickly popped in to the gym on the way into work

Leg Press 5x12@120kg
Leg Ext. 5x10@55kg
Leg Curl 5x10@45kg
Squats 5x10@60kg

2 nice new squat racks have been installed in the refurb... One chap was using it for T bar rows with the rack being used to wedge the barbell in the corner... I politely asked if he could try doing it somewhere else so I could squat... Apparently is was the only 'safe' place in the whole gym. tt.

He then proceeded to spend as long as humanly possible fking about before wandering off and leaving everything on the floor when finished.

I was not amused. Angry lifting is good though

[Johnny]

Another quick trip to the gym before my flight later, go to get a pump on...

Superset:

Close Grip 10kg DB Press Pullover x10, 20kg DB Chest Press x10, Push Ups x10

x5

Incline Bench 3x20@20kg
