203kgx..........................................7:(
i either should have had an extra day off as i get stressed big time previous day or added weight more slowly from 195kg upwards.
warm ups were hard and me head didnt feel like it was there.
simply had no push in me thighs.
(backs fine tho thankfully)
i thought i was being honest with myself about how weights were progressing maybe the ego took over tho!
i like to think i know which training factors are not being taken seriously as a rule so i`m a bit puzzled.
BUGGER!

pretty much mate.
ive done nothing but lean bulk....
lost some BF thru illness and bad appetite this year tho which turned out to be a good thing tho lol
i think cutting and bulking perse is more suited to gear use(altho as i said have dabbled in the past to my regret!)

just had a loading pin made for my lat pulldown attachment for the top of my cage!
cant wait to finally put it all together and give it a spin.
2x25kg octagonal rubber plates finally arrived too-first time ive actually seen oly plates-big buggers aint they lol
(they got hand holes in them too)
this will now allow my heaviest trainer to do some decent safe back work.
at the mo he`s doing pull ups laying horizontally with his feet on a bench as he cant do body weight stuff!
ive offered to allow all my trainers to do bent over rows and none are interested(imo thats good)in fact they think its a crazy exercise which would nob their lower back up.
their back gets plenty of work from the trap bar deads-all have good back improvement now too....
in fact all their biceps have also progressed!

trained with one of my dudes the other day and cos i didnt do any deads i wasnt as warmed up as thouroughly as usual and hurt my left pec on DB bench presses-
seems ok now but i gotta be careful of that from now on!
started off with calf raises using my hip belt with a barbell between my legs off the daisy chains and they went great!
next day tho my thighs where hurting again so no legs at all for god knows how long!
after that mili press wasnt an option and my heart wasnt into doing any chins-
did a couple of sets but just couldnt be arsed.
went for a proper walk with lilly today(1 of my EBT`s)(i walk dogs first thing and some grey hounds at noon everyday and then my 2 again at nite) then did some stretching,side bends,crunches,lyeing L flyes(payed attention to ya pikey)some thick bar holds,some static holds on my 300lb gripper(cant close the fooker at all yet lol)and some finger curls with EZ bar.
gonna do this most days till my pec feels safe again.
i`m doing side bends with a very light weight for now as my back doesnt like that ROM,but i think i should try and see where i can go with them as avoiding problem areas aint always a good idea!
i`m considering training every fifth day with full body workouts when i restart and having a workout on the 3 rd day with the exercises mentioned above-maybe with calves too.altho i think my pec will be ok in a few days and my legs will take longer so god forbid i may be stuck woith upper body exercises only for a while which will allow a greater training frequency....

hmm where to start?
cant even remember how i long its been since training properly,not being able to train legs left me with little enthusiasm for any training at all.
what with various other injuries trainings gone pretty much tits up!
turns out my thigh/knee pain was due to wearing some arch supports in my shoes on the recommendation of a manipulative therapist i`d seen!
i have been trying to train upper body only tho with varying degrees of success.
ive kinda been limited to what exercises feel safe to do-that kinda left me with chins and dips lol.
had a couple of light workouts training legs in the last couple of weeks with light hip belt squats so yesterday tried some trap bar deads.
thought i`d just go with a weight that felt ok.
ended up using what i thought was 170kg-after 13 reps i realised i was doing 188.5 kg cos i forgot to count the bar(191.5 including collars)
lol what a doink!!!
then did 20 rep hip belt squats using 50kg(light) hoping to build up on this(will be doing these rest pause as it gets heavier)
followed up with 3 sets of donkey calf raises(hip belts are cool) and then 2 sets of standing raises.
finished off with 3 sets of crunches.
the plan was to train 3x a week alternating this routine with and upper body workout 2 days later.
couple of hours later i found out my thighs were not repaired as well as i thought as its very uncomfortable to push meself out of a chair and lifting my legs to walk is uncomfortable too.
good news is my knees dont hurt tho.
so its back to resting my legs again already-
soooooo p!ssed off about it!
ive also decided to go thru with the back operation (replacing my L4/L5 disc)
this was a big decision for me,but not being able to train has made me realise how limited my life has become living life around my back.
not being able to train has made me feel unproductive!
this has also left me with pretty much zero appetite so something needs to change.....

upper body workout today-
weighted dips 6x3 @ 19kg with a backdown set of 12
weighted chins 6x6x5 @ 19kgs witha body weight set for 8 (not really enuff to call it a backdown set)
3x10 seated military press with thick handled DB`s(just going thru the motions with these for now due to recurrent injuries)
3 sets of bicep curls with some chest expanders that dont cause me any elbow pain!!!
2 sets of side bends.
thighs are still plaguing me from monday altho not as bad as the first time i injured them and not at the knee this time which is sommat.
i actually did a workout last weeks doing deads at 125kg in between one if the dudes i was training and doing 5`s for each of his 1 and got no knee probs so that might be an option for friday altho they did hurt my back afters.
the hipbelt squats dont seem to hurt my thighs so i`ll probly stick with them .
think its my ligament/tendons(dunno which)that are damaged and have a sneaking suspicion i should really not do legs for a good couple of months to be on the safe side,but cant quite bring myself to do that yet lol-
i`ve had a good 6 weeks of not training legs and it drove me crazy!!!!!
oh yeah lilly(my new dog) bit a passerby the other day so she`s been ignored for a second day.
seems to be working.
she`s gotta realise i dont need protecting.....
oh yeah i dared to weigh myself today and by some miracle(last time i weighed in i was 11"2)i`m 11"9 which is cool.
hey T popping in is always preferable to popping out-thats a bit embarressing heh heh heh!

still waiting on some things that will allow me to weld on some scaffold pole to the ends and convert it to olympic plates.(looks bloody awful with red oxide on it)gonna make it a bit longer too cos it getting difficult to make up the small increments these days-
when i hit 203kg i ended up turning the collars round lol.
thats more to do with only having 4x20kg plates and making up the rest of the weight with 10`s tho.
i`m gonna extend the bar 6" or so each end-
the extra length will only have small plates on it tho so it should be ok.

Very serious looking....all mean and moody
If only they knew!
I have to say though you look like you've packed a bit on. Back width, lats look longer and arm bigger than when I saw you in summer.
Apart from that you are a walking demic
