good session strength still there chucked in bicep forearm but didn’t write it down good workout the drop sets after pressing is great really intense 1 all out set with that is enough fried after it hopefully next few week build it up now that things are back moving nicely hunger is up

Gym is packed crappy puregym but will do for 3 weeks until the gym opens again and it will be very good with new equipment

good solid workout still feel it hours after limited on equipment but went in to do quad leg press broken so just did a full hamstring workout was good quick low rest they where pumped not going heavy on stiff leg as I want it all in my hamstring so need to leave the ego at the door as when I add weight I then use my back to drive the weight taken all stress of my hamstrings

Weight today 272lbs but feel better for it but goal is to hit that 280 but not rush it on with water and messing digestion from to much food eating more than enough will let my body grow there without forcing it

Good workout crazy pump low rest on triceps

But then came the extreme cramps took taurine tonic water coconut water magnesium and salt on food potassium pink pre workout and 3litre of water so hydrated and still no help I think it’s just the water retention bodyweight causing it but now will for sure add cream of tarter for potassium

275 today still want to hit 280lbs before the gym opens back up then hold it once comfortable push again

Thanks dude I really don’t know where the gain is lol I can’t see it but others can

I haven’t taken any photos since last but I will be getting photos next week or after once the gym opens I usually go to get my mate to take them that would be a near 30 pound weight gain so let’s hope the photos show improvement can’t wait to post updates though its truly needed

Legs were fried squat at the end always and even though not enough plates on leg press still got a solid workout didn’t do hamstring as I will do that tomorrow

Last few weeks been training 3 days per week as found that the best on recovery

Got a minor pain in back of knee had X-ray got another Tuesday as need to find out why I get it only get a tight pain when walking to much been there 2 months now but can still train hard I think it’s just tightness it’s not a injury at all so going to get deep tissue work booked in which I’ve never had done


This week the gyms back open and I’m going to push this month coming to the absolute limit feel fresh recovered and photos will come

Got nabba April 21st next year as the show I think I will be doing then the pca after that

Ready to keep smashing size on and push as much heavy weight as I can and push the scale and make sure the mirror says I can keep going no limits

Not happy with the incline used to do sets of 10 with 170 lol but got to think it’s only been nearly 4 months back and haven’t done it long but still mentally annoying and I never use a spotter either. None of this touching bs. But I will get it for reps soon enough

Definitely need more food weight today 285lbs lost 1 pound not really much but feel much flatter at 6200 full always and haven’t been eating that much even with eating cakes chocolate biscuits sweats it be 5800 it’s very difficult but need to start forcing it in and add more junk food can’t eat this clean crap stomach gets to bloated need food high in calories that doesn’t bloat
