    DATE: 7th December 2020 SESSION: Week 4 Day 1 CALORIES: 3100kcal SESSION: Deadlift 2x2@200kg Deadlift 3x3@170kg Box squat 4x4@60kg FEELINGS: Today was so weird, so many emotional extremes in one day and then training at 7pm....I don’t know why but I just shut down my brain and moved some weight, so much so that I actually pulled a serious amount of weight, twice. Tonight’s session called for 1x2 on deadlift @175kg but the RPE was supposed to be a 9. RPE is Rate of Perceived Exertion. Essentially, how hard you need to work. RPE9 is when you only have 1 more rep left in the tank after finishing the set. I pulled 170kg for 2 and I had LOADS more in the tank. So on went 200kg for the easiest double I’ve ever done. I think I had 210kg in me today to be honest but I wanted to get some really good sets and reps in after. 3x3 with 170kg is nothing to be sniffed at! A great session! IMG_0127.MP4

    DATE: 5th December 2020 SESSION: Week 3 Day 3 CALORIES: 3089kcal SESSION: Squat 4x4@128kg 2 Second Paused Bench Press 4x5@95kg FEELINGS: Well this week didn’t go to plan and I missed my Friday session. Fortunately I was still able to mix my two sessions and get most of the work done. Not a great week, some emotional shit surfacing again but I got my work in and hit my numbers.

    It’s 12ft by 18ft but you really don’t need a massive building like that. I coach clients so a bit of movement in there is key. A simple garden shed can get you going!

    DATE: 2nd December 2020 SESSION: Week 3 Day 2 CALORIES: 3089kcal SESSION: Deadlifts 4x2@170kg Bench Press 1x6@100kg Bench Press 2x8@90kg FEELINGS: It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been able to so weighted pull ups, let along on the rings (these make pull ups much more difficult). In the video I’m not super happy with how high I went so I made sure to really pull on the other 2 sets. Still 3 sets of 4 reps with an additional 10kg (10%ish of my body weight) is a good place to start. Deadlifts went good, bench moved well. All in all, a solid session. IMG_0012.MP4

    It's not bad at all, certainly an upgrade from the last one (MW) for me. Faster pace, more interesting guns, cool perks back. The only downside is the lack of maps but at least there is less to learn and remember at the start.

    You guys are so fucking mean! Help the poor girl out!

    yeh this was my thinking, I literally only play CoD on the regular so it doesn’t seem worth spending £500 for 1 game

    Motivation is a tricky one, when you’ve done something for so long it’s more of a habit so you just do it because you’ve always done it - if that makes sense? some habits are easy to keep, others hard. Having my gym 4 steps from my house make it real easy to just go out there, going to a cool gym would also make it nice and easy. So I think rather than motivation, we just need to make the environment for hard work to happen, happen.

    I’ve had Cold War a few days now and am really enjoying it!

    DATE: 30th November 2020 SESSION: Week 3 Day 1 CALORIES: 3100kcal SESSION: Squats 1x8@125kg Squats 2x6@120kg Overhead Press 3x8@58kg FEELINGS: I love starting the week strong, they say never miss a Monday and there is definitely some truth in that. Squats went well, I’ve actually just treated myself to some proper compression massage leggings, expensive tech - I will show some pictures when it arrives. Hopefully this will help with my bad knee. Overall, a good day.

    DATE: 28th November 2020 SESSION: Week 2 Day 4 CALORIES: 2670kcal SESSION: Main compounds: Close Grip Bench Press 3x12@80kg Pendlay Row 3x10@60kg FEELINGS: Saturdays are always great fun as I can train when it’s still light, be somewhat not tired and train with my friends (fuck you lockdown, we do what we want in Elliotts Gym). Some great work today, this session is mostly accessory style work to help bring up the main lifts. We played some loud music, measured our biceps (the lads didn’t believe I had the biggest arms, I do, 18” baby!) and paid our dues to the iron messiah.

    DATE: 27th November 2020 SESSION: Week 2 Day 3 CALORIES: unknown SESSION: Main compounds: Squat 3x6@125kg FEELINGS: Days like today are the reason I won’t ever be back in the same shape I was in my 20s. No water, no breakfast, poor food choices, lots of sugar, lots of caffeine. Feel like actual death right now, only myself to blame. My squats went well though and managed a few accessories before the kid pooped all over herself and I was summoned back indoors. Still, we got our session in. Tomorrow is Saturday, a day I can control. We go again.

    DATE: 25th November 2020 SESSION: Week 2 Day 2 CALORIES: 3400kcals SESSION: Main compounds: Bench press 1x2@115kg Bench press 3x6@100kg Overhead press 3x4@65kg FEELINGS: I really enjoyed my session tonight, I came home to a dirty burger and chips the wife ordered as she didn’t want to cook so that went down a treat and fuelled some great bench press. I’m still holding back, it is rather tedious if I’m honest but you just have to trust the process and ease into it. The top set on bench 115kgx2 was super easy, I will put the video up and you will see how fast it moves. This was supposed to be RPE 8, which means I should only have another 2 reps left in the tank after my set. To be honest I had another 4 or 5 at that weight. Slowly, slowly. IMG_9965.MP4 IMG_9964.MP4

    I’m going to be cooking the gammon on the smoker again this year for Xmas 👌

    Sounds like the PS4 version is the right answer. Thanks guys

    I have a 5 year old MacBook @Plumbers Crack so I won’t be able to run the new COD as it fucking struggles with classic WoW and that’s a 16 year old game 🙈

    So, today I've sold a piece of equipment i'm not using out of my gym, that means i've got £200 of disposable income (a novelty with an 8 month old!), the sensible Mr Giles side of me wants to put £150 into my investments and spend £50 on a PS4 copy of cold war. The deviant side of me wants to bank to £200 and wait until xmas (We get a little bonus at xmas) to put the other £300 to it and get a PS5 with cold war...... My question is, is there a massive difference in quality between the two consoles? I literally only play CoD on consoles so I would be spending £500 to play 1 game. Hence why I usually wait until consoles have been out a year or so and buy them at a reduced price. However, I really feel like the PS4 is old tech and struggles to run games well at this point.

    Isn't that always the way though? in most call of duty's only skilled players would get a high level streak.....regardless of the system. Rewards skill, I don't actually think it's that hard to be good at CoD, there are so many tutorials and guides out there.....
  19. Middle Class Caveman
    Thanks dude, it is so much harder now I’m a dad in terms of energy levels and poor sleep but you just have to align your expectations with reality and get done what you can. Especially at my age too

    DATE: 23rd November 2020 SESSION: Week 2 Day 1 CALORIES: 2900kcsls SESSION: Main compounds: Deadlifts 3x3@160kg Sumo Box Squats 3x6@105kg FEELINGS: I swear that god is out to stop me getting strong. Today was a pig of a day at work, which has made getting food in hard, drinking water hard etc. The session went ok, the deadlifts felt heavier than they should but that’s what happens when you’re up at 6am and train at 7pm after a full on day at work. What doesn’t break you, builds you. We go again. Here’s a video of me doing calf raises... FullSizeRender.mov

    I've been trying to BBQ for ages but the bloody weather has not helped. Also, my rain canopy fell apart so it's been a complete shambles! Got out on Sunday though and made some lovely chicken and rustic shepherds pie!

    To be fair, at least they change the aesthetics each year. It is what is is, you know you're getting into a sweatfest in that map but it is very easy to do well on. Plus RPG's in the windows always work a treat. Demolition on Nuketown was my favourite game mode in BO2.....Those spawn traps! And Safeguard in BO3!

    END OF WEEK 1 BODYWEIGHT: 105kg (forgot to weigh myself last Sunday sorry!) FEELINGS: A great start to this 10 week program. Hit all my numbers, kept my calories some what consistent. I’m going to sneak in an extra little session today to do some pump work (arms, shoulders and core) as these are my areas of development. NEXT WEEKS GOALS: 1. Drink 2.5litres of water a day 3. Consistently eat more than 3000kcals a day
  24. Middle Class Caveman
    So jealous! 😖
  25. Middle Class Caveman
    Sounds good! I haven’t played the alpha or beta so no clue about it, MW really killed my love for CoD as it was so god dam slow paced!
