    How is it so far lads?

    DATE: 21st November 2020 SESSION: Week 1 Day 4 CALORIES: 3600kcals SESSION: Main compounds: 3 Second Pause Deadlifts 4x2@150kg 2 Second Pause Bench Press 3x5@95kg FEELINGS: 4th and final session of the week. Calories were high today thanks to some nice treats from the wife, made for a fun session as there’s nothing quite like a carbed up body ready to roar. Deadlifts were tricky as 3 seconds is a long time to hold onto a weight at any point of the lift, let alone 2” off the ground (my weak spot). You have to really dig deep not to cheat and to hold onto your form. Bench was great fun, pause is my favourite variation as it really allows me to wind up tight and drive from my heels, hips and lats. Watch the video, you can see my whole pelvis twitch as I power it off my chest. Sexual. IMG_9931.MP4

    I would highly recommend getting some proper professional advice as it’s the difference between winning and losing. You’re always welcome at my place mate. Come over on the weekend, bring Kyla, we will throw some dead cow on the BBQ and give you a run through in the gym 💪

    It’s amazing how quickly I’ve lost my strength levels, it’s also amazing how quickly it can come back. It certainly is lovely being a proper program again rather than just going in the gym and limping through sessions you make up as you go

    DATE: 20th November 2020 SESSION: Week 1 Day 3 CALORIES: 2890kcals SESSION: Main compounds: Squats 3x4@130kg Floor press 3x8@60kg FEELINGS: The end of the week is always hard for me but today’s session was really good. My squats moved really well and I had no knee pain (the constant barrier I face until I can get surgery). It was lovely getting a visit in the gym from Maddie just before she went to bed. Floor press was great and I could have put quite a bit more on but I really wanted to focus on exploding off the floor to fire up those triceps. Did some lovely accessories after all that too and got a nice pump. Now for some lovely rib eye steak and an episode of the mandalorian!

    DATE: 18th November 2020 SESSION: Week 1 Day 2 CALORIES: 2900kcals SESSION: Main compounds: Deadlifts 3x4@160kg Bench Press 1x3@110kg Bench Press 2x10@85kg FEELINGS: Deadlifts make you real humble, real fast. My hands are so soft from all this god dam hand washing we have been doing and I have really good lifting bars, the knurling on my deadlift bar is like a razorblades so holding on for 4 reps was killer! Still, it felt really good and looking forward to getting back up to some decent numbers again. Loving the bench press, it's my big goal for the next 10 weeks, I want to crack 150kg, ambitious but with good programming and nutrition I should be able to get close. IMG_9912.MP4

    DATE: 16th November 2020 SESSION: Week 1 Day 1 CALORIES: 2790kcals SESSION: Main compounds: Squats 1x5@130kg Squats 2x8@110kg Overhead Press 3x8@55kg FEELINGS: First session back went really well. Nothing too heavy and plenty more in the tank. It's lovely to get some battle bites on the back again from the squats. Calories were a bit shy of my goal of 3000kcals but you can only do what you can do!

    It never hurts to cover the bases, that’s my philosophy in life

    yes Vit D3 is the same. In terms of dosage you will have to look on the bottle mate as it should tell you the IU

    Each session I will post my main compound lifts and the sets reps etc. It will look like this: setsXrepsXweight for example: 1x5@127.5kg means 1 set of 5 reps using 127.5kg of weight.

    Hi folks, I’m going to be using this thread as an online journal for my training over the winter now that I am returning to proper strength training. Feel free to voyeur and watch my progress or comment your support 👌

    Excellent! I personally only take Vit D, omegas and a probiotic (which my wife makes me take 🙈) as I eat 2-3 kiwi’s a day, the only real super food in existence!

    I think the urban myth that multivitamins don’t work has some validity to it because some vitamins are water soluble and others fat soluble. So one rock hard pill taken with water isn’t going to cover all the bases. Vitamin D is a fat soluble substance hence why it’s found in egg yolks and fatty fish. So the ‘multi Vit’ tablets aren’t going to give you any. A proper vitamin D tablet will look like a small fish oil cap. in terms of its purpose, Vitamin D is actually responsible for keeping bones and muscles healthy, however it also has other functions such as reducing inflammation, modulation of cell growth and the immune system as well as glucose metabolism. So in terms of its importance here, it’s not a cure for covid, however - most people are vitamin D deficient as they stay indoors all day and the media has demonised red meat and eggs so they aren’t really a regular staple in people’s diets. In terms of the links to reducing the impact of covid, the correlation is currently not very strong at the moment but then it’s early days for everything covid. I would simply say, taking a Vit D tablet once a day isn’t going to break anyone’s bank and shouldn’t go against anyone’s morals so there is no reason not to do it. Especially the older more vulnerable sections of the population here.

    Hi folks, in light of the recent guidance from the government to give Vit D supplements to the most at risk people in the country and the link between deficiency and death rate (this data is new and so could be argued) can I please urge everyone to buy a vitamin d supplement and take them daily. 2000iu per day is a great start, 5000iu is the the upper limit. I personally take 4000iu a day. any brand will do really, try and take them with a meal. stay safe brothers and sisters xx here is a news article for some reference Here

    I love my bbq’s, if you follow me on insta I post a lot about it there. I would love to get a proper offset smoker but they are some serious money and we are renovating at present. Also, we have the most miserable weather!
  16. Middle Class Caveman
    They certainly are, seriously you need to watch this as it's a great bit of fan service and an easy story to follow.
  17. Middle Class Caveman
    Absolutely loving this series, season 2 has clearly had some more money pushed its way and it's all good!
  18. Middle Class Caveman
    Shut up, Leigh.

    I'm inclined to agree a bit here, i'm actually very tempted to just build an awesome gaming PC as the games I play are cross platform anyway.
  20. Middle Class Caveman
    So wait, just to clarify.....you don't want horses?
  21. Middle Class Caveman
    It's a true 'rinse and repeat' style of game making now, they've gotten progressively shorter each time too. I remember playing FFX and thinking.....was that it? Off the back of 7 and 8 which were 100+ hour games......A shame really.
  22. Middle Class Caveman
    Yes @G_dub52 that looks amazing mate!
  23. Middle Class Caveman
    Folks, I require this picture of my child be merged with the ending of die hard.....sorry Alan Rickman but you’re about to be replaced. other photoshops also Ok!
  24. Middle Class Caveman
