    Nah honestly it wasn't a big deal, just got to the bottom of the squat and could get back up so bailed out and let the safety straps take the bar.

    No lol, I got folded in half and squashed. Luckily I have safety straps on my rack. No spotters as we are in lockdown here in the U.K. so I’ve been training alone since December. I’m going to rest this week and re-attack next week

    DATE: 3rd Feb 2021 Well today I went out to squat and got folded in half. I've completely over estimated my ability once again. Fuck I hate getting old! I've dropped a Kilo this week already (2.25lbs) from 110kg down to 109kg this morning so i'm in a bit too much of a deficit, I'm going to up my calories and take the rest of the week off from training because apparently my poor nervous system just can't handle maxing out any more. Aiming to get down to under 100kgs. At this rate it should only take 4 weeks lol

    Are you not tracking your food?

    DATE: 1st February2021 SESSION: Week 1 Day 1 CALORIES: 2222 COMPOUNDS: Bench press 4x6@105kg Overhead press 3x10@50kg FEELINGS: Didn’t intentionally stifle my calories today but just didn’t get round to eating. New phase, new block, new goals. Bench went ok, still have a slight niggle in my left trap but it didn’t stop me. IMG_1002.MP4

    100% Agree. Do what feels right!

    You gotta do what feels good mate, Punishing yourself is only going to raise your cortisol levels and stifle your progress.

    I quite like them lol! You guys are rather spoilt for choice in the US but these are the ones I could get my hands on over here.

    Apologies for the slight absence last week, Deload is boring so no point documenting. Today we did the 1st of three sessions for some testing. Deadlift. I hit 220kg so easily, it flew up. I went for 230kg for a raw lifetime PR (no deadlift suit) and it moved fast but for some reason I let my brain beat me because it started to slow at my knees and I dropped it. I’m gutted. We will continue to build. IMG_0903.MP4 IMG_0904.MP4

    That’s a great little set up! 185lb/82kg is not a small number so go you!

    DATE: 18th January 2021 SESSION: Week 10 Day 1 CALORIES: ???? COMPOUNDS: Deadlift 2x3@160kg Box Squat 4x2@55kg+Chains FEELINGS: First session of the Deload. Nothing exciting but well earned. Just chill this week and get some rest I’m ready for a big week next week.

    DATE: 16th January 2021 SESSION: Week 9 Day 4 CALORIES: ???? COMPOUNDS: 2 Second Pause Deadlift 4x2@160kg 3 Second Pause Bench Press 3x5@110kg FEELINGS: We made it! 9 weeks of hard graft. Wow I’m battered. Sore, tired, worn out, some pain here and there. Next week we will Deload, which means working at a lower capacity to give the body a chance to recover before we do a testing week. The sessions will be boring but necessary. I definitely going to run this program again, it has been so much fun.

    DATE: 15th January 2021 SESSION: Week 9 Day 3 CALORIES: ???? COMPOUNDS: Squats 3x4@145kg Feet up Bench Press 3x8@65kg FEELINGS: The fatigue is real 😓 Two hard heavy sessions at the start of the week and I am beat today. Also, I try to time my preworkout meal 2 hours from my work out so that I don’t feel bloated etc. However, today, just as I started my session the sofa removal people turned up - so that added a further 30 minutes delay. Half way through my squats, I was starving! Still today was just lots of volume so I basically went through the motions. No videos today. Instead here’s a picture of my back with lovely new bruises from my new bench!

    DATE: 13tth January 2021 SESSION: Week 9 Day 2 CALORIES: 2793kcals COMPOUNDS: Bench Press 1x3@130kg Bench Press 2x2@120kg Deadlift 3x4@170kg FEELINGS: Today was even better than Monday. Bench press rep PB - 130kgx3! I’m going to be hitting 3 plates a side in two weeks time. No sweat. My new competition style bench was worth every penny. Solid, broad, and allows me to actually get my shoulder blades on it to brace properly! So pleased. IMG_0721.MP4

    To be honest, it was just the most frustrating thing because if it had just ripped all the way off I could have had surgery and be done with it. Never mind.

    I tore my VMO (one of the muscles just above the knee) about 3 years ago doing strongman. It's been a long road back to being pain free but you have to take the rough with the smooth!

    DATE: 11th January 2021 SESSION: Week 9 Day 1 CALORIES: 2872kcals COMPOUNDS: Squats 1x2@175kg Overhead Press 3x6@65kg FEELINGS: Today was immense, I hit 175kg for a double. Raw. That’s a Personal best! Ever since I dodged my knee 2 years ago I’ve not been able to lift raw very much (just knee sleeves and belt) as the pain was too much. So I moved over to using knee wraps which essentially work like a whole new knee and add a lot of help to the squat. It’s not desirable as using wraps is very time consuming and painful (because of how tight you wrap them). I focused a lot of time last year on rehabbing my knee and changing my squat technique. It’s paid off. In two weeks time I test my max and I’m hoping for a new PB! IMG_0686.MP4 IMG_0684.MP4

    How much you bench, bro? 👀

    DATE: 8th January 2021 SESSION: Week 8 Day 4 CALORIES: ???? COMPOUNDS: Incline DB press 3x8@25kg DB bent over row 3x12@30kg Flat DB Press 3x6@32.5kg FEELINGS: This program is very much a ‘power building’ program as there is a real mixture of powerlifting moves and body building. It’s been really successful as I’ve 100% added mass to my frame and am slowly getting back to my old strength numbers. Today’s session was 100% sets and reps, all bodybuilding. I also filmed a review of my new Muscle Squad adjustable dumbbells (as I’m somewhat affiliated with them) and got an amazing pump! Below I will post the link to the video so you can watch the review and a picture of my progress last year. MUSCLESQUAD ADJUSTABLE DUMBBELLS REVIEW

    DATE: 8th January 2021 SESSION: Week 8 Day 3 CALORIES: 2747kcals SESSION: Low Bar Squats 3x7@130kg 3” Block Pulls 2x4@160kg FEELINGS: Today was an exciting day because as an astute business man I’ve taken advantage of the surge in demand for gym equipment during lockdown. Over the course of last week I sold off all my old dumbbells and some old strongman equipment. I then purchased a brand new flat competition standard bench and new spin lock adjustable dumbbells. Taking the number of dumbbells I had from 9 pairs to 13 with more weight. They Botha remove today! Then I had to squat and stare at my fancy new bench that I don’t get to use until tomorrow 🤣
