It's a legitimate metal disorder called Megarexia Harry and I think you have it.

Trust me, you are not puny :nod:

He's tiny! Hahaha. He's big and he knows it, he's just saying he's puny to not seem egotistical and to motivate himself. Harry; at your size, you're allowed to be egotistical.

[HarryB]

lol SAS no way man... I am decent size but I don't think I am big. I have trained with so many guys over the years who were monsters that I always think of myself as a smaller type bodybuilder... Old school Giant Killer lol

[thatwaslight]

I have mega megarexia, although I am small I'm alot bigger than I used but it doesn't matter how much size I put on I'm still tiny

Ran out of time. Really happy with my squatting. Put loose wraps on from 4 plates just to make my knee track straight. Was thinking about doing low reps and just trying to do a 1rm but wisely decided against it.

[Viking Power]

180k/ 15 (I swear it was 17 but my TP said it was only 15)

:pfft: :pfft: :pfft: good work, very nice squatting mate :clap: :clap:

:pfft: :pfft: :pfft: good work, very nice squatting mate :clap: :clap:

Thanks bro, I really want to push my numbers up on squats, I used to be a pretty decent squatter but got a partial ligament tear so just have to be careful. That's why I'm keeping my reps higher and just trying to make sure I hit decent depth and nice controlled movement. I'll start trying to increase my reps on 220 now, won't go heavier until I get a decent 12 on that weight so probably never lol plus I hate going up half plates on squats lol

[nate225]

Good target H.

Well put re: half plates..... nickels & dimes have no place on a squat bar! :grin:

lol half plates not to bad H....its the 5kg and the 2 & 1/5kg ones that piss me off and for the 1 and what ever it is they don't exist lol sounds like a solid plan with the squats would be very impressive squatting at 100kg - 110kg BW something for me to chase down lol

[HarryB]

When my TPs ask me if they can go up a half I tell them they should put a cap on one side and hang their towel on the other! ha ha ha ha

Hopefully get back to a 6pl for 6 squat at around 105 precomp. We'll see, my torso is feeling very strong under the weight from doing all those dreaded deadlifts. If I break myself at least let me do it with something decent on the bar!

hahahahaha... f*ck it well whole plates it is then.... anyway if ya can do 12 with 180 should be good for 3 or 4 with 220... I'm in with this madness next stop 180 x 12 see ya at the 260 mark H

[HarryB]

lol.. I always have to be working toward something, even if i am dieting. I would over time love to hit my best numbers ever but it ain't going to happen before this comp. I can still try though!! Meet ya at 260 then we can aim at 300!

[Rookie]

:shock: Mean squatting bro, looks like an insane session.. SHIIIIEEEEEEEEEET SONNNNNNNNN!

ha ha ha ha I gave them a bit of a lecture, with the dieting and really mentally wanting to amp up my game I have become a little less patient. I mean I am one of those guys who when I was young would drive 3 hours to train with someone if I thought it would help me and I would always been keen and want to prove myself. Hell you didn't have to tell me to do more, you had to force me to do less. God I am becoming a grumpy old man!!!
