Good going Benn! I've not worked my legs for almost 2 months. Got a knee injury that won't allow me to lift at all can't even run on a treadmill at the moment. Managed 52.5kg x8 barbell curl this morning though. Other lifts aren't progressing much at the moment mostly due to laziness.
Could you cycle? set the seat high enough to take almost all the load off yer knees (pedal at the bottom, heel on it, slight bend in the knee, perfect height)
Been using riding as my "leg day" since doing an actual leg workout would knobble my legs so much that riding was hard. So weights for back/chest/shoulders and ignorng arms for now.
Last night I managed to get 2nd on a strava segment locally. Was 6th for a while but noted the start and pushed hard till the end :D well chufed about that, like Ben its bragging rights :D
Good work on the 150KG press though!!!! that seems mental weight
Oh, I've been mental and entered a 3hr Xc MTB race in January lol.... That'll hopefully only be cold, but odds on itll be muddy and wet. I could prevent wet weather by spending £100 on some waterproof cycling shorts though, but I'd sooner spend that on other toys

Thank you, I've been building weight up then dropping it off, as my knees have been hurting alot. Found getting back to taking cod liver oil tablets everyday have really been helping with it tho. So gonna try and keep taking them.
I'd like to get my barbell curls up that heavy. I max out at 41kg ish. But my arms/elbow still off.

Love a good ride. my cardio is riding. Do 30mins on a up and down incline program. Like i'm riding up and down hills. 30mins normally gets me 10miles ish.
Good man at cracking thru the rides. I find it makes my nuts go numb. lol Odd feeling.
I was very happy with the weight. Hence the bragging..lol
if your nuts are going numb, then the saddle isnt right.
Roll your hips back so your sitbones are perched on the back of the saddle. This will take the pressure off the nerve that runs under the pelvis to the genitals.
If they still go numb, then consider a pair of properly padded shorts, OR if you can alter the angle of the saddle try down or up at the nose. Some of the adjustments seem counter intuitive but you dont want long term nerve damage on the nads.
30mins for 10 miles, thats damn good going :) roadie speeds there. I'm slower due to MTB knobbly tyres lol
Seat only goes up and down. As it's a fixed machine bike.
Always get it, very odd feeling. I do try and move about to help but doesn't really help. Dont really wanted more layers/padding under my normal stuff if i can help it.
And is it? I thought it was a bit slow for a machine. Maybe not. Get my legs warm and some sweat going. only cardio i can do with out getting to bored.
Going tonight.

Aye I can cycle no problem at all, I could maybe start lifting again on it too don't want to jump back in too quickly though I'll give it another week. Good chest workout this morning though 38kg incline db press x 8 I got up to. I do 5 sets for everything first one light then 4 heavy ones.

Everyone starts somewhere bud I started out using 10s as well. I'm still playing catch up to my strength 2 years ago which is depressing.
Been back to strongman training after a 4 week hiatus, today was deadlifts and prowlers. Now at the local gym I've tried for 160kg deadlift and failed at Spartan I did 160kg for reps lol this made me happy.... The prowler didn't, was only 40kg on it (so about 70kg in total, over astroturf) this thing is fucking awful but it works!
What are prowlers?

A you push them, i'd love to try that. Looks like fun, but hell.

They can also be used for pulling by tienig a rope round them and you either sit on the floor and pull it arm over arm or tie the rope to yourself and pull it but there are smaller sleds you can do that with.
Ah right. Must be a great workout.
Its made me throw up before.
175kg deadlift tonight :D think there's a 200kg in the tank
Was easier than I anticipated, think I could add another 10-15 kg on it. Form isn't perfect as shoulders are rounded, apart from that its good!

First day back in a month last night. Feeling totally fucked this morning.
I've been training hard recently and even hit 100kg for 1 bench press after trying for ages (finally hit it a couple days after the gf broke up with me maybe I was channeling my frustration) still never felt sore yet, gonna have to train harder tonight.

Don't worry about the not feeling sore bit, I am the same as I have proven to myself yet again this time around......... I have been bumbling around in the gym at work the last 2 months but as I am off work for 2 weeks I have wandered into my old gym for the xmas break to kit start some proper training, and to set me up for the new year. As I have been messing around I am confident with my training systems I just needed to see what I could still do after a few years of not training and my old gym is perfect to use as a datum and compare where I was to where I am.
I normally train GVT which is 10x10, but for this I need to understand my upper limits and work down from that, so far the main compound exercises have consisted of working up in sets of five until failure then repeating the last full set of five. All are started at 100kg and then add 10 kg at a time, the results on the main ones are.....
Deadlift 2 x 5 @ 180kg
Squat 2 x 5 @ 180kg (old rule is dead what you can squat, so that's a tick lol )
Bench 2 x 5 @ 140kg
Obviously as I start to loose some weight and training increases I will loose some maximum strength but my volume of sets/reps will increase at the training percentage. I am super chuffed with my upper limits though, far better than expected especially when using the same kit I used to.
Did a mincey leg day on tuesday. I'm still in bits :( lol
On Friday Had a very brief lesson in squatting. Started with goblets style squats, at 10kg for 2x20
Found them on but want to go on a rack really... Found i had some nice sore legs and ass the next day.
Went in on NYE. was dead! I had a great 2 hour workout, went heavy on everything. Upped my squats to 20kg for 2x20. Then 30kg for 2x15.
Really felt them, my thighs are sore as funk today.
I like goblet squats, nice and easy to do at home etc

What gym you off to Andy? Should get to bodytorque!
I go to compass been a member there on and off pretty much since it opened.I once joined crown spa as I liked the ideas of saunas and stuff but expensive and the gym wasn't good.
I used to love being a member of David lloyds in hull before I moved here,great gym,pool saunas and steam room outdoor pool,tennis squash and even a bar lol
Lol lifting pints is a curl I guess
The women in there were phenomenal lol

What diet do your lot follow? High protein ? Or still eat what you want?
As I'm losing fat I follow a 40/40/20 diet of protein carbs and fat.
i prepare all my meals myself eating nowt processed or crap.Just clean really,a lot of preparation time but some stuff is really nice.
I drink nothing but water (sometimes with fresh lemon juice squeezed in) and green tea.
il train every day
This is all while it's going well,normally il smash pizzas calzones Parmo's burgers and lager.
il sit shouting at the tv.lol

08-01-17, 12:54 PM
Lol that the hardest thing eating right and cutting the shite out.
Definitely it's too easy to eat muck
and it's a lot cheaper too.
This is one area I am struggling with, as some of you know I have done the whole before and after photo's with stupid difference, but the flipside of that is having done it properly once, its twice as hard the second time as you know the sacrifices to expect.
I have nigh on quit my smoking at present and I am four weeks into it so the diet is on a bit of a back burner, this is only purely because if you try to do to much at once you will fail.
as is mentioned back in the post I am not overly happy at 18st and only 5ft 8", granted my shape lends to this better than most at this combo due to my mass and the fact not all my weight goes to my belly, but I ideally want to try and get back down to 16st which will put me back into a 6 pack zone and circa 10-12% body fat. Not only will I feel a crap load better but my favourite clothes will fit again. Most of my measures are what people sometimes aim for but trust me it sucks when trying to buy clothes or you add a bit of fat on top, I need to shed some bulk and mass and go for the more athletic shape if its possible a second time around.
That's what I'm aiming for dan.im not fussed about what I can lift really,aslong as im fit and athletic.If I want to get massive and strong il just get a course of sus and deckers and get angry and sexually radged lol lol

Mines not a "diet" as in a fad diet that's popular on Facebook or loose women.Its just eating decent.Joe wicks lean in 15 book is very good for recipes.
lol at the standard hate of something so it must be from facebook, most fads have been around since before you were born :p
joes chicken pot pie is great, sadly he sounds like a proper twat so can't watch anything of his lol
It was a generalisation Stuart.im sorry if I affected your share prices in Facebook lol
does he sound as daft as he looks then? lol iv never heard him speak.
Theres a lot of good stuff in his books though.
Like there was one diet I heard on radio about,some doylem was eating what he wanted for 5days then having nothing whatsoever for two days.what a load of bollocks.
same as these zero carbs.so where does ya energy come from to function then?!

That must be seriously boring on a static bike!
I've been lazy recently, mostly because of lack of money and seeing the GF but we've split up again for good this time (when does it start getting easy?) which has had my head all over the place so I've got plenty free time for the gym now.
Lost a bit off my bench press, did 3 reps at 90kg and the third one I nearly dropped on my head (albeit I had done a 3 sets of 10 reps previously at lower weights) deadlift I repped 160kg didn't attempt a single and squat I kept it light at 130 for reps, did some bicep curls then ran a bit on the treadmill. My left calf always goes tight when running no matter how well I think I've stretched, never the less I'll keep at it.
Gonna go again today and do some back work and run again, put some body fat on since december with being lazy/seeing her, but not really ate much this week lost my appeteite and sleep pattern.

It will be hard for a while, but will get better, as you fill the space with other things and people.

Cheers mate, feeling a lot better this week still miss her but coming to realise she lied a lot about little things.
Anyhoo been back in the gym, over done it on bench so nothing to report there but squatted 140 for reps yesterday, sore today so rested, deadlifted 170 for 1 but could have easily gone heavier just not rushing things at the moment with being lazy for a while lol doing more bicep and chest work than before too.
Sooooo been a while since anything was posted in here and I am glad I made the thread as I can see how far my lifts have come.
Current PB's
Bench press 120kg (1 rep)
Deadlift 200kg (2 reps)
SKWAAAAAAAAT... lets just not go there was repping 150 before I injured my back, tried 150 for 1 rep on thursday, unracked and thought 'fuck that' and re racked the bar :sadface:
200kg dead lift is very good.
200kg dead lift is very good.
Cheers man, I could have probably pushed for 205 possibly 210 but seeing as I hitched this lift and hitching can lead to injury if over done I left it there and will work on getting more up.

Yes mate that's me.
I know I'm going bald lol
Also, did some squats the other day and repped 130 for 5 then decided to do some 1 rep maxs, did 140 for one easily, tried 150 but had to drop the bar as its just not going up at the minute :(

Trying my hardest to keep going just now been going through phases.
Managing 170 dead for 1 can't get past it and 120 squat for 1 also. That's a struggle, feel like I'm leaning forward when at that weight 100 feels ok though.
Yeah I get like that sometimes too, seem to be putting weight on though no matter what I eat so now on my days off work I'm doing cardio am and weights pm see if that helps.
How are you doing you DL and squat? Going heavy all the time or working a % of your 1 rep max with reps, I.E 70% so 120 for 8 130 for 6 140 for 5 then drop it to maybe 100-110 and do as many reps as possible (AMRAP) I'll write a brief copy here of a program that was written for me that helped me acheive my 120 bench
bazzap8389
06-09-17, 07:04 PM
I work my way up in the weights, always start low and with deadlift I get up to 140 with 8 reps. I've been pretty lazy with my workouts again recently though and not even benching as much as I was even 2 years ago. Hey ho. Manage 8 with 80-85 and 1 with 100. Kind of annoying, my mates I workout with are both benching 140-145 and one of them weighs the same as me, circa 85kg
I really wanna start properly squatting, but dont feel that confident in there s i'm just some fat guy. (and i men, my legs are strong enough but the squat racks in the bit of the gym where you just get proper fit strong/muscled guys.)
I really wanna start properly squatting, but dont feel that confident in there s i'm just some fat guy. (and i men, my legs are strong enough but the squat racks in the bit of the gym where you just get proper fit strong/muscled guys.)
They only got strong by doing these things, EVERYONE starts somewhere also there's a good chance they're on steroids (not always a good idea to ask them though, even when they are most never admit it) when you do squat though start with an empty bar and have a gym PT watch you and correct your form as you can do a lot of damage when squatting heavy and you get it wrong.
So as promised here's a couple weeks/days worth of the program I did to improve my bench.
Week 1
Day 1
Percentages are of my 1 rep max which at the time was 110kg
Bench 8x3 @ 77.2% (84.9kg so I rounded it up to 85kg)
Superset X3
Dumbbell incline-10 RPE 9 (10 reps at RPE 9)
Face pull-30 RPE 9
RPE stands for 'Rated Perceived Exertion' and this is the scale so you get the idea of it
The RPE scale is used to measure the intensity of your exercise. The RPE scale runs from 0 – 10. The numbers below relate to phrases used to rate how easy or difficult you find an activity. For example, 0 (nothing at all) would be how you feel when sitting in a chair; 10 (very, very heavy) is how you feel at the end of an exercise stress test or after a very difficult activity.
0 – Nothing at all
0.5 – Just noticeable
1 – Very light
2 – Light
3 – Moderate
4 – Somewhat heavy
5 – Heavy
6
7 – Very heavy
8
9
10 – Very, very heavy
In most cases, you should exercise at a level that feels 3 (moderate) to 4 (somewhat heavy). When using this rating scale, remember to include feelings of shortness of breath, as well as how tired you feel in your legs and overall.
Day 2
Bench 4x6-8 @65% (so this was 71.5kg)
Overhead press 3x5 @70% (obviously I'd already tried a 1 rep max of overhead press which was 75kg so for this exercise at 70% I was pressing 52.5kg)
Barbell rows 3x8-10 RPE 9
Week 2
Day 1
Bench 6x3 @ 80% (88kg)
Superset x3
Dumbbell incline-10 RPE 9
Facepulls-30 RPE 9
Day 2
Bench 3x5 @ 70% (77kg)
Overhead press-4x5 @ 70% (52.5kg)
Barbell rows 3x8-10 RPE 9
So you get the idea, every week day 1 the bench press was a higher % of KG on the bar and the rep/sets range was mixed up each week, the second day was slightly lighter but more reps. By week 6 (final week) bench was 1x2 @ 90% (99kg which I rounded up to 100kg) then 1x1 @ 95% (104.5kg) (still doing dbell incline and face pulls) and day two was 3x5 @60% (66kg) and still included rows 3x8.
After week 6 I had a deload week, reducing all the weight down to light weight high reps then the following week I went balls out and hit the 120kg 1RM I had been aiming for.
It always amazes me how so many people think bench pressing is the be all and end all of the gym.
Massive chests,fat bellies and skinny legs

Usually young lads or people that are quite clueless about the gym in general, one thing that surprises me is the amount of people that wont deadlift of squat because 'its bad for your back'
OK it is if you do it wrong but you'd have to do it very wrong.
Yeah exactly that mate,there was a young melt who spent the entire hour on the lat pulldown machine.
The fuck is that all about?
Must be going for that trianglular look lol

Yeah true, but still... Leg pressing 149kg makes me happy.

Its all about the look.
I was in there sunday, guy spent over an hour and a half just doing bicep curls... But on for even him a really low weight. Doing 10 then stopping to look around and roll his already short sleeves up...
Restarted my 6 week bench program to try up my lift to 125-130, the gym now has a PB board and someone has 130 bench 180 deadlift (someone else has 150 squat but I'm not friends with squats at the minute, working on our friendship though) my bench is currently 120 and deadlift is 200.
I MUST OWN THE BOARD!*
Once I sort this poor squat out.
205 and 210kg deadlifts tonight (singles), almost didn't get the 210 and thought my spine was going to boing out of my back like a coiled spring. Video proof too which I will post if anyone is interested.
Worked up from 100x8 120x6 140x4 160x1 180x1 205x1 210x1
Video proof too which I will post if anyone is interested.
Post it or gtfo.
hmmm. I'm still bumbling along but we have purchased new bits for the gym to launch a serious attack. Obviously I am not in it for the strength and just to loose some weight as my height and current weight don't tally lol.
but for reference I am doing the following to kick start the weight loss stuff
All GVT 10x10 with a 4-1 or 3-1 tempo
Bench 100kg - all 10 sets with zero fails (but damn close lol)
squat 120kg - all 10 sets with zero fails (ditto as above)
deadlift 110kg - all 10 sets with zero fails.
The list goes on, the weights aren't great but they are ok for 100 reps effectively. I haven't done any 1 rep max's for a longgggg time but they should still be ok lol but at 42 the proper heavy stuff I leave for the younger lads
10 sets of 10 reps at 100kg bench? Am I reading that right? If so thats pretty good!
meh its not bad, but I'm not big by any means, so its prob more to do with prior conditioning and just being pig ignorant when it comes to not knowing when to give up. generally try to keep and 3-1 tempo but obviously the last 2 sets probably speed up a bit.
Tonight the guys were in a bit of a hurry so we did chest, we just did 5 sets of 20 (70kg) on a 4-1 tempo supersetted with 5x20 tricep push down, then topped it off by taking 10kg of the bench and 5kg off the pushdowns to do one superset of 35reps on each.
I don't mind dropping the weight for an easy one every now and again as it keeps things alive and different. Also its better to do something than doing nothing lol
Don't think I'd manage 10x10 @100kg lol attempted a single at 110kg last night to see where I stood on my quest to 130kg, all was going well in the run up but my right elbow failed me twice at the 110 attempts. Current PB is 120 for 1 so I should have got it easy.

He will moan and whinge that hes an unfit fatty now... Then go and belt out 100 reps of 100Kg lol
Trying to build some sort of foundation to work with by doing shoulders and back, light weights of course because I'm a n0000bie. Seems to be going ok lol

Great photo.
Attempted 130kg bench - failed
Attemped 220 deadlift - failed.
I'm not really dissapointed tbh I think the fails are down to overtraining and attempting too heavy too often plus my body seems to be in hibernation mode right now which means shit diet and wanting to sleep all the time.
Thay're my excuses and I'm sticking to them lol watch out next year them targets will be hit.
Talking of hibernation, I haven't long woken up......... That picture is years old lol lol lol , you need to add about 2 1/12 stone on it. To be fair that was my 6 month answer to everyone that called me an arse for starting to do exercise and Bennnnnnnnn with his luck nailed it perfectly without me knowing until after lol . The crap diet I agree with but mine is lack of sleep prob due to stress's of work, the latter being a shocker for trying to find motivation or even controlling weight.
Anyone got a good bicep programme, need change mine up, been 4 months at it now.
Good bicep program? Why? Look up the push pull legs system, find a gym with sleds/prowlers and astroturf. I rarely work my biceps as I don't see the point, they have little use in everyday life, how often do you pull something heavy towards your face?
JUst some times for the look too tho.
I'm finally back and enjoying it after issues with my hand.
not has strong as i was with 2months off, but building back up.
Yeah I'm having the same issues, going through a cant be arsed phase and preferring a drink and chill after a long day at work and its showing, 106kg bench press 5 sets 3 reps (part of program) was a struggle, when I hit 125 for a single it went up easier than today lmfao.
