Good session, got ****faced last night, been working like a demon on an essay the last few days, all done now, celebrating with a pro evo tournament. LM- im coming home on saturday for a few days if you re about?

That's some beastly rowing Dave!

What's the next increment in the dumbbells - 65kg?

15 reps with the 60's. Is this with decent ROM?

I'm about over the weekend. Fancy going down the pub Sunday for the Liverpool game?

Went to the Osteopath today. She examined my back and her diagnosis was (in technical terms) - "it's ****ed!!!"
My spine is twisted and has been for some time hence me straining it so frequently. So I had a 30 minute massage where I fell asleep after 5 minutes!!
Still hurts but going back next week and parting with another £42

So the upshot is no gym for a few more weeks

Cheer mate.
 
Yeah good ROM, double hardcore legend rowing. Bit of body english but we re all mates here! No more DB's, 60's are the biggest unfortunately.
 
Yeah I can come down the pub on sun.
 
Bad news about the back, maybe it ll be good to get it sorted in the long run though?

Good rowing mate. Far cry from when did em at gym in Southampton.

Yeah it took a while but ive got into them now! Its with the same variety of 60kg bell too.

Just a little session, had more reps with the 45's but just wasnt feeling it today, diet is playing catch up after a poor week dominated by essays etc. Few more sessions this week then im away for a week. Think the body could do with some rest.

Good to see you mate. Hopefully training will resume when you're back.
 Hope things with the missus pan out ok but if not, remember to hook up with someone that either has a box somewhere local or at Anfield. Either that or one that has access to a very well equipped gym within 10 miles of home

Yeah was good to see you too chief, be keen to get back to training together. Not as enjoyable training with other ****wits.

Good session, no knee pain, first lower body session of any kind in 5 weeks so not to unhappy at missing 275. I think 260 was basically 200 off the floor and 240 at lockout.

Good work pal. Ya missed a lift, but all the work from 220 up is good stuff.

Cheers champ. I think 275 would have definitely been there had I been able to do any form of leg training for the last month and a bit.
 
Im a little bit away from squatting properly again, I might try and do some box squats an inch or two above // later in the week.
 
Im shooting for a paused bench pb tomo...looking forward to it!
 
Im away next week on tour, but after that im at home for 2-3 weeks. Am I gonna get the chance to see your underwear at any stage?!lol

Sure thing big boy! Give us some dates and we'll fix us a sess!

Wicked, I ll update you when I get back from tour. I doubt I ll be doing much tho tbh so I ll be available quite a bit. Rumour has it LM will be gracing us with a return to the gym around that time too...

A 1RM session first week back could be very interesting to gauge just how much of a weakling I've become

Lol yeah count me in. Whatare you thinking? 120/120/200?

Try 0/120/0 - won't be squatting or DLing for a while yet. Back's feeling loads better and have another session tomorrow with the osteopath so we'll see how that all goes.

Fair enough. Glad the back is improving, she given you any advice on keeping it healthy?
 
 

No advice yet. I know what I need to do though and it involves strengthening my weak core. Will I do it? Probably not.

Lol I heard squats and deadlifts help core strength
 
You thinking back extensions, leg raises etc?
 
You thought about using a belt or some technique changes? Pull sumo maybe.
