  1. Sometimes I notice if I sleep somewhere it's really warm I wake up with a dry throat, same if I fall asleep on my back or some weird position (not very often). I think feeling thirsty in the morning is normal though, at least for me
  2. Only way to know is to weigh them dude. At our work the normal handles weigh more than the thick handles... I have a pair of them I hardly use anymore. Don't miss the days of trying to balance these on my thighs before kicking them back to do chest press on the bench, parts of screw clamp collars digging in. lol
  3. No barbell? Try bulgarian split squats, if you like torture
  4. How much do you drink in the hours before bed?
  5. Before overloading your grip with a tonne of grip/forearm exercises, make sure you have the basics down; Use chalk (this might be the most important, if you have sweaty or clammy hands your grip will suffer severely) Don't use gloves (take care of your hands to avoid callous tears. chopping them every week or two should be fine, but don't tear them off) Don't use straps (in my opinion these are not for beginners, you need to let your grip strength build up) Use double overhand grip for as long as you can, switch to mixed grip only when your grip fails, or hook grip if your hands are big enough (I recommend this) If you are smart with loading your weights your grip should be getting plenty of work and a good gradual buildup to handling the weights. Look at all these first before considering assistance exercises. Deadlifts, rows, pullups are all great for grip and should have a place in every routine in my opinion.
  6. Great bench MF, especially for bodyweight not far from double bodyweight...

Wasn't the worst one ever, started off quite well, but the strength wasn't there for squats. Thu 7th November 2013 Deadlift 1x5x130kg 1x5x155kg 1x3x176kg 1x5x197kg Front Squat 1x3x100kg 5x3x115kg Yoke for 2x10 metres Set 1 - 200kg Set 2 - 220kg Set 3 - 230kg Glute ham raise 3x10 Can't really grumble at this workout, it's the most weight I've ever deadlifted without a belt and not a mile away from my beltless 5RM (210kg). Front squats felt good, yoke felt quick. Fri 8th November 2013 OHP 1x5x50kg 1x3x57.5kg 1x4x65kg 2x8x52.5kg 1x6x52.5kg Chinups 5 (bodyweight) 5 (+10kg) 5 (+15kg) 5 (+20kg) 3 (+25kg) 8 (bodyweight) Dunno where the fuck the top set of OHP came from because it's been shit recently. But I'll take it.
  8. Also meant to mention the last few months I've stopped wearing a belt completely, because basically I don't like wearing them. For some reason I could not flatten my lower back when doing a deadlift with a belt on. I practiced and practiced but couldn't do it. It feels 10x better without a belt, and my strength is catching up without it. My upper back is still rounded but intentional. Also switched to high bar squats and being doing a lot of pause squats - I fucking love them! My form is a lot more consistent. I noticed how much I was relying on the belt at one point when I tried doing some semi-heavy beltless squats. Probably down to shitty weak abs because they hurt like fuck now but I'll bet they're a lot stronger.
  9. Cheers for all the kind messages! asparagus, I haven't had the best year training wise. I haven't used a belt for months, working on my raw strength. But hopefully I'll beat my old PB of 245kg without a belt at some point in the future Just made a massive update to my log!
  10. Hi everyone! It's been a while, so here's a brief summary of my last year of training; Towards the end of 2012 the warehouse was getting fucking freezing to train in, I'd not long started a long distance relationship which made me drop most Fridays. Motivation was low, numbers weren't good, wasn't eating properly and bodyweight plumetted. Start of 2013 got back into Kilmarnock Weightlifting Club to train. Was a really good but short cycle, gained strength and muscle. But my hours at work changed, and in addition work got too busy to train during, and has been the same ever since. Started training at my bosses gym, Glasgow Strength. Was just going through the motions, wasn't eating properly again and lost bodyweight and strength. About 2 months ago started Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 again, just doing the basic strength lifts with a bit of strongman. Eating a lot more again and gaining strength/muscle. Went from averaging 2 sessions a week to 4 most weeks. And a completely new attitude to training again after a year of not really enjoying it that much. My girlfriend has just moved closer to me and my work which will make things MUCH easier. I'm probably the happiest I've ever been. Still working at strengthshop.co.uk as well and enjoying it. Thanks for all the messages you left and sorry I didn't get back sooner, ready to start killing it again If I find any pictures from over the last year I might post them soon to give an idea of where I am.

  12. Not sure how many people will remember me, but I stopped keeping a log on here about a year ago (due to other comitments). I've been strength training for about 4 years now (wow, doesn't feel that long!), done a couple of amateur powerlifting/team strongman competitions during that time. Notable programs I've done are stonglifts, Jim wendler's 5/3/1 (just started a cycle of this recently), Madcow 5x5 and some powerlifting programs. 6ft tall, weighed about 68kg when I started. Currently about 88kg (nearly at my heaviest ever, was 89-90 at one point), hoping to pass the 90kg mark and beyond soon. So hi to everyone! To mods; seems like the topic of my log has been locked, can someone unlock it please? http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=18133

  14. Thanks for the kind words everyone, was just taking a break from logging. I had a note of some of the stuff I was doing, but not all of it. Robert, that is Brian - still Vegan and training. I've worked for his company Strength Shop since the end of May. Notable vegan items that can be a pain to find elsewhere are the weightlifting shoes and powerlifting belts First a quick non training update. Things are really great just now, I'm happy with my now-girlfriend that I met 3 or 4 months ago. Just had my first week off since starting my job (which I'm still loving) and had a great holiday away, went to Orkney (island off the north cost of Scotland) for a few days during. Went for a lot of walks and was so relaxing.
