Working till 11 most nights at the mo (with a break at around 6 to train)

Hear ya. New tax update from IRD isn't helping matters. Hours are a problem for me atm, but eating is not. Nice PB :salute:

[Draft]

Cheers guys.

My major concern is that deadlift seems to be so far ahead of everything else. Its probably the reduced sets/reps I do for it though compared to my other exercises.

[rose]

Does it matter so long as everything improves, or are you striving for the perfect ratio? If you've identified weaknesses, address them?

[Draft]

Nah, I accept that ratios will vary between people. And since its a relatively new exercise I'm not surprised I'm making gains (maybe about a year now?)

It just makes me wonder if I'm pushing myself hard enough on my other lifts... I feel like I am but :shrug: :shrug:

[Big john]

those lifts will come up in time bro...just keep doing what your doing, as rose said address your weaknesses

[Draft]

Hmm, well I think that my weakness is definitely press at the moment. I am trying to reduce accesory shoulder/pressing work though after my rotators decided the didn't like the way I was doing things.

Cheers, for advice guys. I won't get down in the dumps yet about my weak-ass press and bench yet .

Oh, and as a side note, I am still eating. It's just meals 2 and 4 are now a big can of tuna with a pile of crackers.

I was ghacing steak sandwiches but don't have time to cook 4 meals when I get home these days and still sleep.

My workmates are bitching about having to deal with the smell of tuna again :pfft:

but don't have time to cook 4 meals when I get home these days and still sleep.

Multi tasking FTW dude :grin: And cook bulk in advance. Come on man, we're counting on you :snooty:

You want a crash course in prepping food Rose styles? Be warned though, if you moan, whine or pussy around, you get slapped :pfft: Just be thankful it won't be a jug cord. Or whip.

Multi-tasking? You realise I'm male right?

Saturday, 27 March

Felt like shit today, woke up with a sore lower back for some reason as well. Weird considering I haven't trained for 2 days.

Anyway. Today, ramping up to:

Squat 120x3

DB Bench 39x5, too easy so 40x2 after that.

DB Row 37.5x5

Happy with depth on squat today, probably pussied out a little on the 4th rep but decided to take it easy given lower back pain.

Fucked around with dumbells today for some reason. Just felt like it - bit of variation I guess.

Excuses

woke up with a sore lower back

You're broken? :shock:

[Draft]

Only a little bit. Kinda weird tho, it hasn't gone away since saturday. Hurts when I sit (but no stand) and squatting has no effect on pain or otherwise.

Anyway:

Monday, 29 March

Ramping up to:

Squat 120x5

Bench 40x5 (DB)

Row 35x5 (DB)

Dumbells again today. No spot for bench ever so dumbells allow me to push a little bit further without risk of choking meself.

On Row also because the back did not like the whole 'bent over' part. Will be interesting to see how deadlifts go on Wednesday.

Nutrition has been getting shitter and shitter around work - today my post workout meal/dinner in one was a whole chicken and a protein shake. Carbs? There may have been some in the milk.

[rose]

Buy a shitty overpriced salad or some frozen veges, you'll be right :pfft: Joking! Pizza!

Damn lack of spotters :roll:

[rose]

Haro :grin:
