Yeah, you definitely don't wanna mess up the relationship you're in.
A big chunk of me still misses my ex, the one that had a breakdown, and finished with me to go sort himself out. Still hasn't and for a while he got back with his ex. I could have seen myself getting back with him until the ex was brought into the picture, oh and when I found out he started shagging round himself after he broke up with me. But, yes I agree that exs are exs for a reason.
On a slightly unrelated topic, I had him on the phone not that long ago, apparently his ex wife was on that webcam embarrassing bodies clinic TV show, talking about how her hubby (at the time) had a giant penis.... and she didn't tell him... Now everyone knows he has a large penis and he HATES it. Who knew, a lot of men with large penises actually aren't that confident about it!

I'm absolutely in love with those little footsie socks lol :-)

High pulls are awful and I hate them with a passion
They're a big part of oly training, usually the weakest part of anyones clean and snatch as the muscles tend to get underused if you have a lifestyle of sitting down a lot. They also are the worst for doms EVER because they are so hard to stretch out. Usually involves bending yourself in ways you would not want to do in public lolAhhh I'm so excited for you flinkeeehh. Lift dem weights br0! Those big ones look awesome

My OHP is weak as, I think I could do 35kg max. Even my bench was better and I was bad at it, (45kg).
I use the lame excuse of being a woman =P
I once watched a man do a 60kg strict press for 5x5 and I fell in love lol

I got an email this morning saying that my bumper plates wouldn't be coming today. I was a little disappointed as the delivery was scheduled for today, but there's not a lot that could be done about it, so I trotted on out to work.
At about noon, I got a message off Ine to say that the weights had arrived. Yaaaay. I've had a look at them and fuaaaark, they are big. The 25KG plates are like...tyres. They're so thick. I feel sorry for the poor delivery man who had to bring them down our stairs to the flat!
I've taken all of my standard weight plates off my weight tree and I've put my Olympic plates on there for now. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little overwhelmed looking at those plates...
Also, the entiiiiire house smells of rubber now. Absolutely reeks of it. I guess I'll have to get used to this, although I hope the smell disappears later.
Now I just have to wait for the barbell and collars. It's like starting over.
Yes the rubber smelllll oh the rubber
It does go eventually! So excited for you, its like CHRISTMAS.Started off Stronglifts 5x5 a couple of weeks ago, already starting to feel some progress in terms of my body definition, alongside a slightly healthier diet (always been relatively healthy but have cut down even more on snack foods/carbs/fats). Never really lifted before and not finding it too hard at the moment, apart from the overhead press. I think my grip may have been too wide on reflection, but it's definitely the trickiest exercise of the programme.5x5 is an extremely solid powerlifting plan. I loved loved loved it. Was when I made my best gainz. I was also a member of the inner circle for a while.
Squatting 3/4x a week, man its tough sometimes lol. I swear one morning at 6am I was like give me damn strength i cant do 25 squats today...........
OHP grip should be just a little over shoulder width or thereabouts. (also make sure its strict, no lower body movement)
Before I got ill i did SL, got my squat up to 75kg, the bros in the gym did not know what to make of me. There with my deadlifts n chalk and heavy ass squats. And the olympic lifts i did, they all tried to copy... my personal trainer said hey they been imitating you, doing really bad reverse bicep curls
: peace:
It was fun though, being in a gym with bros cheering you on to hit your deadlift 1rm. Wouldn't have got the 120kg i did without it. Something nice about the camaraderie if you get a real good gym.

I'd love to eat you like you guys but I suffer really badly from Acid Reflux, it's absolutely murder having to try and schedule life around eating. Without going into gory details, I have to leave at least 6 hours between eating and going to bed or at least a few hours between eating and working out. Makes it virtually impossible to do any sort of serious bulking.
Have you tried Nexium?

Went to the Flamingo cause of R but she got married and left :p
I think I'd scare the wimmens in the flamingo to be honest
Didn't know R left! I'd recommend whatever fitness first is called nowadays...
edit: lifestyle fitness, its only 20 a month

Yeah, I read about not banging the 5s on the ground and now I'm a bit worried. Do they mean banging the 5s with just the barbell, or to not use the 5s at all with other weights when doing, say, deadlifts? I assume it's the former, because they're pointless if it's the latter.
Yeah, they get stupidly expensive. Poor Ine was having a heart attack when she saw me looking at them...I told her straight off that they were out of the question.
There was something about the tri-grip plates that put me off them. I guess I prefer the solid body type of plates.
Yeah its just the bar and the 5s. 10+5 is fine, because the 10s are alot tougher, and the force is shared between them. I think 5s typically have a short warrantee for damage too.
I can't imagine you would be throwing them from overhead too often? If you got a home gym I'd be more worried about damaging the floor than the weights =P

I got my fractional weights from that company. And bumpers I have are very very alike if not the same make. Just don't go banging the 5s on the ground with any force and it'll be grand. £75 for a barbell is a great deal too. Eeeek
I really want the eleiko weights (they use them in the olympics) but they are ABSURDLY expensive. Have seen some sets on at 10 grand....

what gym do you go to?
-
Ah, good job! They're a big time saver and it'll save you wasting time putting the fecking screw locks on.
I...I've done it.
I've been searching for aaaages for an Olympic Weight Set. I put this into my basket and headed to the checkout:
But something held me back. That set comes to £385 and I wasn't entirely convinced by the tri-grip weight plates. I searched high and low and read up on bumper plates. I was keen to go for those, with the tri-grip being a back up if I couldn't find one at an affordable price. I found no such luck. I couldn't get a complete weight set with Bumper Plates and Barbell for under £500.
Then, I came across this:
I couldn't find a better deal than this.
Next, I picked up this:
7ft Olympic Barbell for £75
I also bought some cheap Olympic collars to round off this set.
I'll be delighted when it's all here. Excited to see it. I'm now stuck with my standard weights and will definitely sell on the bigger plates. I'm half tempted to keep the smaller standard weights and use those for curls and isolation exercises. Not sure. Tempted to see how cheap/expensive the increment weights are, because I need those. If I can find a good deal for them, I'll most likely move on the entire set when I can afford to.
YESSSS YOU DID EET

This is why stretching before sex is important.
Well maybe if you weren't in such a rush @gaggle64....

I saw his car today, for the first time since it happened. He had a non specific "accident" that damaged the front of his car....
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Wondering if a criminal damage charge is worth the relief?
If i had a baseball bat at the time someone would have had to hold me back..
Honestly though I felt a little bit of my heart being ripped out from seeing that fucking car. :-(
-
I did "leg day" every day, and it only hurt like that now n again. Maybe once a week.
My training was heavy olympic stuff, it is kinda tough on your legs

wee soots looks so ruffled lol
My cat sparky having a snooze <3

I have my doubts, they're only a recent invention on the grand scheme of things - same with medications, you don't gather information until they're truly "tested" on humans. If we get 40/50 years in the future and we're not seeing a huge jump in e-cig related illness then i will shut the hell up, sure! :-)
In the mean time people can feck off and not use e-cigs near me, they should be treated exactly the same as cigs and are being done so in many corporate and medical settings :-)

I LOVE FATS <3

I don't think he did it intentionally. He's a bad driver. Has had his license taken off him because he has no insurance - yet still drives... (and has been reported numerous times....). He was likely speeding, hit her, and panicked, so decided to hide the evidence. Just a moron that refuses to take responsibility for his actions.
He would've been completely forgiven if he actually came and apologized and brought our cat to us.
My sister is having nightmares about what she saw (betty's decomposing body), and we're all tormenting ourselves about how she was dumped like rubbish.
His parents came home from holiday today. My mum and his mum are friends, she came over to see mum, and mum gave it to her and told her that her son was a lying piece of shit (perhaps not in those words lol) but he's still denying it.

vaping is as bad, untested and unknown side effects. To be honest I'd rather people smoked cigarettes in my face than those vile e-cigs.

Gorgeous big chubby tail <3

It lasts 3 years yes, but many many people get them taken out before then (and its only effective in situ as it gradually releases hormones, not a one shot there you go 3 years jobby). I do think its totally within a woman's right to do what she likes in terms of temporary contraceptives...
Probably a discussion and/or reassurance that is indeed completely reversible might have been wise....I've seen men assume stupider things about contraceptives before now...!
