Thanks guys :oops:

[poos_n_wees]

So it appears I've gotten fat Well, fattER since December - the last time I ever measured/weighed myself.

I've got a pair of shorts that have no stretch in them whatsoever. Back in Dec 07 they were really loose, and I had made up my mind that I'd eat over maintenance, put on a little size and do the 5x5 until the shorts fit *properly*. Once they do, scale back a little and diet for a while.

OK I try on the shorts today and the suckers are snug. Like "had-to-suck-it-in-to-do-them-up" snug. No more pies! I definitely want to stick with this program, but the diet starts today and I will reduce the volume to 5x3.. me still wanna lift them heavy stuff.

[Pseudonym]

I have a pair of shorts a bit like that. I prefer to think of it as well-developed gluteal muscles from all that squatting I've been doing. I'm sure that's what it is. :nod:

[SoaringSwine]

It's official: 5x5 makes your arse big. At least you didn't rip your pants at work like I did.

[Small]

but the diet starts today

haha u dont no how many times ive told myself that..u shulda seen wat i ate tonite ...on the other hand shoulder is getting waee beta :grin:

[AK]

Good luck with your diet :nod:

[poos_n_wees]

Pseudo: Yussir, its definitely my over developed gluteal muscles that're to blame

SoaringSwine: One word.

Small: Don't even start... I think I actually started the diet 2 days after I originally said I would . Glad to hear the shoulder's feeling better!!

Awesome squats... :notworthy:

[SoaringSwine]

You made those deads look easy! And I'm sure your form is 2807208346 times better than mine. I'm scared you'll overtake me very soon. I better hit 125x5 next week.

[Mike Zero]

Holy shit. That Alex dude is an awesome beatboxer.

Nice depth/form on the Squats. Strong Deadlifts too, could be stronger if you pulled it closer to your body though.

[MTLKATO]

Wicked on your Squats and deads, you do more than me at the mo... :oops:

[poos_n_wees]

and what are we NOT gonna do with it ? (unless it floats :pfft: )

Thanks TFB, Swine & MTLKATO

Mike: Cheers for the advice wrt the deads.. Ima try run with that next time. And yeah Alex is wicked when he beatboxes in person! He seriously sounds like the instruments he imitates.. its amazing.

[AlBundy]

Impressive strength. Deadlifts are weird, it's hard to see your form while doing them since you can't turn your head. Well you can but its dodgy, can hurt your back.

[poos_n_wees]

Thanks guys!

Stooooooooooked. I tried pulling closer to my body this time round and the bar flew up (thanks Mike!). Could've done 5 reps, but the fecking bar kept getting stuck with the friction on my upper thighs on the way up which pissed me off, so I just stopped. Old timer at the gym said to put talcum powder on my thighs next time to stop it happening. So will try that next time.

pullups

-Calves.. standing calf raises, BW stuff

CARDIO: 30mins walking the dog

Lately, he even looks like he's lost weight (showoff).

I haven't yet Maybe I should start McLovin's meaty bites diet

Diet's going OK. Slip ups here and there, but I think the weekly average cals end up being under maintenance.

Haha! Cheers for that TFB :grin: Really happy with the gains

Monday 26/2

Because of time restraints, I had to train at the local gym today and it sucked so much that I felt like leaving after a couple of sets and maybe kicking some people on the way out . So it looks like Monday is still National Bench Day Every one of the 10 or so benches were taken up for nearly the entire time I was there :shock: Funnily enough, the 2 squat racks and power rack were free though lol.

Not. Going. Back. Ever.

There was a group of about 5-6 guys training together on the bench next to mine, and one of them walked into my bar mid rep on my last set. I've never lost my temper in the gym before but bench is my suckiest exercise and I was still pissy about the squatting thing.

So it looks like Monday is still National Bench Day Every one of the 10 or so benches were taken up for nearly the entire time I was there :shock:

Man, that sounds like my gym...Mondays are shocking, esp with all the New Years Resolution bunnies adding to the numbers. Moving between bench/sm/rack is hard, can't get a rhythm going at all, and all the young-guns are still waiting for their mum to tidy up the plates after them. Hey butthead - if you can lift it, YOU CAN PUT IT BACK!

Not. Going. Back. Ever.

Know exactly what you mean - I had a guy nick a plate off the spare-hooks on my SM while I was in the middle of a set...and then bitch and moan when I ripped him a new one :clubbed: As for the hangers-on and wanna-be's, I'm getting more intolerant of dorks like that. Work out, or get out of the freakin' way!

Jeez - does it sound like I need carbs this morning?
