No.13's training.

No.13

... think PB is around 85kg which would have been doable last night I reckon.
Next week I'll probably try 3x2 on 77.5kg - we'll see.

Bah!
No mention of "Elvis Palsy"TM
...you're obviously not trying hard enough

Nice work in here 13! Your shoulders look huge in the pic (rightly so looking at that workout)

You must elaborate Mr Jedi, I saw this "elvis palsy" malarky mentioned in DK's journal too, whats the story? A brand new revolutionary training method?

Cheers CF! (Are you looking at the right picture?) Didn't think I had neccessarily oversized shoulders but thankyou all the same

Squatting in abit, BBW still haven't delivery my whey so more milk/turkey/bananas tonight.

Hopefully my flatmate and his missus are going to **** off soon and I'll go squat.

Enjoyable session tonight. Got the flat to myself eventually, and even though I had a 3hour gap between eating and working out, I coped pretty well I think.

Done and dusted in about an hour.

I have a video of the 145 but and reluctant to wack it up. Partly because I had to resort to wearing a white vest tonight (ridiculously warm in the flat tonight, and lack of non-stinking clothes) and the fact I had my socks pulled up nicely whilst wearing short shorts.... But I've lost my phone charger and my battery needs to last until saturday- so I don't want to push it over the edge trying to bluetooth stuff

We'll see!

Elvis Palsy: colloquialism; to shake in uncontrollable and undignified manner.
To appear possessed of the spirit of Elvis Presley but with less singing and more shaking.

Sounds a bit like you forgot your kit and were made to wear stuff from 'lost property'
Well done on the PB.
Looked nailed on after that 142.5 vid.

Seek out your phone charger and get it posted so we can point and laugh at your vest and socks

Sounds a bit like you forgot your kit and were made to wear stuff from 'lost property'

That is exactly what it looked like! Ill post it up this evening.

Please forgive the local yocal attire.

I hope the video appeases the Depth&Form Nazi's I took my stance in abit and found it much easier, think I usually put too much glute/hip action into my squat.

Goooood squat.
Plenty more there I reckon.

As for the vest 'n pants

Ah, squire Nesbitt!

damn nice volume on that bench session bro

Squat looked plenty deep too; had a couple inches to spare by the looks of the ($hitty quality) video haha

Cheers CF! It wasn't a great session by any means, but in hindsight the volume makes up for it. Will stop all the singles attempts now as I think as they're killing my shoulders, doubles and triples will be prescribed for the next couple of weeks.

Yeah, its only on a cheapo phone unfortunately, and I refuse to splash out on anything nicer as I'll lose it/drop it/throw it/eat it.

Nice benching champ. Easy to get sucked into attempting singles too often though!

Tell me about it! My bad though. Doubles and triples from now on.

Well, for the last 3 days I've been unfortunate enough to have food poisoning. Anything I've eaten has ended up right back down the toilet, as well as half a stone of bodyweight. A diet consisting of 500-1000kcals for the last few days has killed me and I look terminally ill. But appetite slowly coming back so I'm going to stuff myself with anything and everything I can.

That squat looked easy. 150+ in your for sure.

Nice squat PR back there. You absolutely buried it. More there for sure.

Cheers guys... all in good time

With the knockback this week I don't fancy going for singles, but 150 will definately be mine before the 18th December!

First post-illness session today. Major calorie deficit all week but really wanted to get a sweat on. I'm about 14stone 10 now so have lost a far bit, about an inch off my arms and my face looks gaunt...

Lasted 40mins. Very happy with the PP given recent situation. Now I'ev just got to concentrate on eating again!

My mum picked me up a video camera for the gym for Christmas; one of the things she specifically asked about was one that could "take some punishment" hahaha

Good overhead work!

No.13
