Good to see you back up and running with the weights and also good to see someone squatting less than me other than my gran!!

I squat like a small town girl.

Well its been a while since I done any deads , come in nice and easy today and felt a little light headed doing them , wasnt planning on them so didnt eat as if I was. Nice easy session and the 125kg was easy , will build myself back up each session.

Feels great being back at the weights and not just cardio.

Deads

5x 50kg

Looks great mate would love to train with someone like yourself for that bit more motivation dont know why but carnt see me training the norm again

I do the occasional normal session of say 5x5 , but i just find it boring

Prefer having my own sessions and pushing myself , thats the part i enjoy

Good work on the lifting mate.

Have you still got plans to look at getting a rack. I know there was a special offer on at Powerhouse Fitness but i'm not sure how long for. - Worked out at around £130 i think for the standard rack - if you can afford it the model with the pulley attachment it's well worth it.

yeah its one of the things on my mind

Have one ending today on ebay with olympic weights(140kg) and bench that i am going to bid on

winning at the moment and 6 hours left
