Freak status: In progress

[Beowulf]

Doesn't studying suck for training?

The more time I spend sat at a desk the more I want to be in the gym and the more I'm in the gym the more guilty I feel for not studying its a vicious cycle

**Big pb on the pulldowns, back feels like it's getting bigger and stronger. Had my last exam today, so decided to stay up late and watch a movie, because I have nothing I have to do tomorrow Aside from eat and train :grin:

You're a better man than me. I had my last yesterday, went out and got boozed

You're a hard man Nate. One night on the lash is okay as long as you can back up in a day or two. Only my humble opinion of course.

make them big ones if they are rare :pfft: :grin:

**Knees been hurting this week, affected me on the front squats. Going to forfeit raw squat and wear knee wraps for power squats as of next week. Craig got a taste of my speed on the farmer's, I think he's starting to realise he doesn't have a chance in our 100m.

Monday - 02/11

Hamstrings/Lower back with Craig - ESB 5:00pm

Glute ham raise 3xBWx15

**Took a too close stance by mistake on the squats, combined with added wrap meant I struggled to sit back into these correctly. Still hit depth and came up easy though. 250x3 on these next week. Am going to wrap up for comp but this means it doesn't count as raw. New goal 270+.

wicked game bro, u playin it on 360 ? elder scrolls 4 ? what race u choose ?

[Mike Zero]

Update on weight loss:

Tonight weighed in at 116.5kg. Lost 7kgs total, about 4-5kgs of fat, 2-3kgs water I think. Still losing going at around .5kg/week, but had one week where I dropped 1.5kg, no idea what happened there, nothing was different. Strength is still feeling good.

Waist is down 2", feel much better already. I think another 3-4" and I'll have a nice lean base to bulk off next year.

Geek. I'm watching the entire Rocky series over the next few days.

If you spot a monster parked up in the carpark at Canterbury Uni, wearing a hoodie and dark glasses, chances are it's our very own Mike Fry-it-up.

One question that remains unanswered is what is he doing with his laptop? Is he posting his log? It would appear not? Is he spamming other journals? Maybe? Or is it about youporn?

Let's not let the truth get in the way of a good story. :nod:

[Tonka]

Young Jedi what is going on with the log? I see the Silverback (Dr S) is still moving mountains of iron but you have taken the lying low below the radar trick before the ESB RAW challenge...very ninja like.

Stay strong bro 8)

[rose]

but had one week where I dropped 1.5kg, no idea what happened there

You gave birth to a food baby in your sleep. It happens. What are you going to name it?

[Dr Squat]

265kg squat at 108.5 kg.

[rose]

Great stuff :clap: "Chest!" 8)

[Luigi]

nice , knee wraps - raw ?

[Gym rat]

good shit :clap: :clap:

[Mike Zero]

Cheers guys.

Might start up the log again next week, although having a "light december". Feeling good about my training at the moment though. Still tidying myself up a bit in prep for mass weight gain next year. Waist has dropped 5 1/4" in the last few months. Strength is still ok.

[Mike Zero]

Also,

I dug up an old leg pic from my bodyspace dated Nov 2009, so decided to take another one 2 years on to see how much they've grown... Pretty happy with the progress.

(Note: calves conveniently cut out of both images :pfft: )

[Luigi]

good to see you changed your mind, nice improvement

[Mike Zero]

Whoops I mean the old one dated Nov 2007, not 2009.
