I never thought I'd say this, but I'm really missing having that heavy ass weight crushing me down, haha. I'll definitely have to do a soft deload and relearn the squat, haha.

Haha! You know I gave up on the Squats last wednesday cause of groin pain then just done light Squats on friday. I was thinking a little break will do me good...
By Saturday night I was itching to go heavy again!! Yesterday was sooooooo good haha. Sure I can hardly walk today, but totally worth it
(heavy for me is 75kg haha
).Do you listen to music when you work out? (going completely off topic) If so, what bands d'you like listening to most?

Yeah, I've taken breaks as well. For me it was just bad form that screwed up my knees, but breaks are well worth it when you've got pains

Haha, I know how that feels man! There's really nothing better than getting under the bar after some time off!

Hell yeah I listen to music!
It's mainly Hardcore and punk. ATM It's bands like Last Mile, Cruel Hand, The new Death Before Dishonor album, Have Heart, Miles Away, Champion, Death Threat.. well the list goes on and on, haha. How bout you?Just as iron rusts from disuse, even so does inaction spoil the intellect.

Cool I've never heard of any of them! Will have to check them out.
Strike Anywhere, Propagandhi and Rentokill are my favs for working out to. If I'm in a situation with no music (or music I don't like) I find it harder to psyche myself up. But with these guys on I'm rocking out and pogoing between sets haha.
....I'd so get beat up if I joined a gym

Uff, yeah.. I hate it when I have to listen to the crap they're spewing out at the gym. Like you, I can't get psyched either, so it's almost essential for my workout to have my Ipod at my side, haha.

Re: xCx - Strength training log
For a long time now I've been thinking about adding some GPP into my routine, so today i finally got myself down to the gym and did some barbell complexes, and god damn!! It was the most brutal thing I have ever endured. The weights were really light, but still I was huffing and puffing like I was throwing around super heavy weights.. embarrassing! Hopefully in a few weeks I can climb a flight of stairs without loosing my breath, haha!
