Can I come too

I think the moral of the story is to stop recording the time it has taken to do all of the things so as not to make other people feel slow.

Tried to persevere squatting with a bar that had no centre knurling once. Never again.

I actually never thought about it making a difference before. There must not be any in the other branch or something.
Forgot to log my time, that was 68 mins. You'll be happy to hear

How long was the mid-session nap?

First he says they're too fast...

I took very long squat breaks. Rdls & squats took nearly 40 mins

I was giving you the credit for usually being so fast that you'd be done 40 minutes faster.

I didn't even realise you could get a bar with knurling on the middle. All mine are shiny and smooth

How do you not lose the plot with them

I think the ones in my gym are too, never really noticed tbh but I have found it grand.

Who knows, I'd say with a centre knurling I'd deffo be squatting at least 20kg more :pac::pac::pac:

You haven't lived until you've squatted with a bar that has centre knurling.

On my third Muscle Foods lean high protein pizza of the week. I found a protein gf garlic bread by them and got really excited then realised it was out of date :mad:

Was gonna leave it at 4x4 but then that would only have been 1040kg and last week 62.5 5x5 was 1562 so at least I did 1300 today.
I must check what I was up to a month before testing last time cos it's a month now
eta: apparently a month before testing last time I was doing a new bench 5rm
yeah good luck with that

Um that took an hour and then I left cos I'm ded

coffee_cake

I wasn't feeling it today and had no expectations for today's session. I saw Blacktie going on about his 92% singles so I brought my belt and said why not. No plans other than that

Aw man that's awesome. After failing it in comp twice. boom!

Nearly didn't squat, was tired and wanted to go home and yawning like a mad yoke but said sure look work up to whatever and see what happens...

I didn't really force it... just kept going ... and things just kept being easy or manageable...
I did spend about 10-20s standing there with the bar on my back talking myself up to it both times though. Like a weirdo

Decided to work up for the craic. Had nothing left in me by the time I started the 135 attempt and couldn't brace properly. You can see me shaking my head before I start in the video haha. I'd say if I were in comp and hyped up and after cans of Monster and bakewell buns I'd have it
Casually picked up the 100kg afterwards to bring it over & up to the rack to unload. Still find that hilarious

- I found a supervalu that sells the musclefood ready meals. I was really excited!!! these ones: http://www.musclefood.com/meals/high-protein-ready-meals/thai-curry-chicken-pot.html
