mrbeige's Strongman Journal - More deadlift vids pg78

Well, here we are, three weeks out spending some time with our new daughter, Evelina Marie, who arrived on 21st January, after a difficult delivery. She weighed in at 7lb 4oz, which is about the amount of weight I've managed to put on since! LOL!

Sleep is somewhat missing from my life at the minute, as is any motivation to train, having had a couple of opportunities to but have preferred the comfort of my sofa!

Not sure what the near future holds with regard to training, but I'm back to work tomorrow, so maybe that might put some routine back into my life, and as such inspire me to pick up some weights again.

I'll try and catch up with everyone's journals over the next few days.

Hello mate!
 
Great news about the nipper! You'll soon settle into a routine bud, sleep will be the hardest bit lol!!
 
Now get your arse back out to the gym! Come on son, you were catching me up! You'll let me get away further if you don't get back on it|!!!!
 
Come on bud - dead, squat push!! LETS GET IT DONE!!!!
 
Godd to see you back aqnd the wife and nipper doing well buddy, made up for you!

Stu as I said mate, once you get in a routine your life really does open up again, it's extremley hard in the beginning especially with your first. ROUTINE ROUTINE ROUTINE....
 
Sounds like you're enjoying being a dad, gets better and better as they get older, my girl is 3.5 and acts like she's 9 or 10..lol..love it..
 
Have a good return session!!

Congratulations Stu mate, glad to hear your all doing well.
 
Now get back to the gym, you'll have to get used to training on little sleep like myself, Deano & Dave! If it's any consolation I have found it does get easier mate.

Cheers bud, I have been checking in periodically and seen you progress. I've got a lot of catching to do. Not sure if any of it will be happening any time soon, but I can but try.

Yeah, as soon as we can get a routine the better, but I understand that isn't always possible. Being a Dad is weird, awesome and emotional! I don't think I was fully prepared for how I'd feel. Bit weird really.

Cheers W1LL! A very interesting few weeks, that's for sure. Only to get more interesting I'd imagine!
 
Hopefully back to the gym tonight for a bit of a press session. Not sure whether I'll follow my normal routine or not. Need to get some Cardio in my life to try and drop the fat I've managed to put on ove the past few weeks. My work trousers are ever so tight!!

Mate, you can never prepare for it. After the first week with Matilda I actually broke down for quite a few hours with the sudden realisation of what we had. I had to take myself away for some space, I was worried sick I wasn't ready for the responsibilty or be a good enough dad for her. It honestly took me nearly all day to snap out of it. Was a very weird experience, probably just the realisation that you now have this little person to protect, teach, love, care for, and these things all go before anything you want for yourselves.
 
You watch how time flies now, thing one thing they never do is let you get bored

80xF 
67.5x3
62.5x5
Well, **** me, I managed a PB after 3 weeks out. I'd have loved to see what I might have been able to shift 2 weeks ago. Perhaps the Ortmayer routine does work!

Zerchers (some)
60x10
90x10
110x5
130x3
Feck, I was screwed after doing these!

Seated Reg Park Presses (5x6-9)
20x8
20x6
20x5
17.5x5
17.5x5

Supersetted with

Plate Pinching
5kg+5kg - 1min each side
10kg+5kg - 35secs each side
10kg+5kg - 30secs each side
10kg+5kg - 30secs each side
10kg+5kg - 30secs each side

Sh1t the bed I was knackered after that. Clearly sleep deprivation has an effect. The Zerchers completely wiped me out! All good though. Chuffed I managed a PB on strict press though; total result!

Great session Stu!! Hes back!! Awesome PB!

Cheers dude! Was a pretty brutal session actually. I have probably the worst leg DOMS I've had for a long time. Walking like John Wayne!!

So are you starting to settle into a routine yet then?

So are you starting to settle into a routine yet then?

Kinda. Evelina managed to sleep from 2.30am through to 8.15am this morning. That's nearly 6 hours!! LOL She'll be sleeping through soon.....hopefully...
 
Hoping to get a session in later too :)
