klaatus journey

[vegan_rossco]

hey man! how much does your gym cost per week/month?
up to much for the weekend?

[klaatu21]

£28 a month I think, nah not much the misses went back to Henley to spend Christmas with her family so all I've got to look forward to is a night shift at the home tomorrow, gym Sunday and working at the pub Sunday, such a playboy lifestyle haha, you?

[vegan_rossco]

Ah okay, I'm trying to sort out getting a barbell, bench and squat racks for my house, figured it would save me money in the long run!
Ahha you playboy I'm working tonight and all weekend :/ starting to become a bit of a scrooge baha

[klaatu21]

I would do if I wasn't in a flat, I doubt the boys in the parlour below me would appreciate me falling through the floor haha

23/12/12
day seven of strong lifts 5x5

squats
35kg
bench
27.5kg
barbell row
37.5kg

squats are getting close to being a challenge, but i thrive on challenge bench is still easy but im focusing on form and very slow reps. and im pretty sure ill be stalling on rows soon

Don't worry, the changes will come for sure. Consistency is the key.

Happy Christmas klaatu, hope you have a great one MF.

Call me ed, I'm enjoying the slow speed of progression, I like to take my time and get things right,. It's a big ego boost when I see meatheads at the gym struggling with weight to heavy for them to handle or not using the full rom, and I'm not lifting anywhere near as much but keeping strict form. It's a marathon not a sprint after all, happy holidays to you too man

[vegan_rossco]

Merry christmas ed! Have a gooden dude this not training its driving me nuts ahha when you next training?

[klaatu21]

I managed to get a cheeky sesh in yesterday but none now till Friday. To be honest it's sleep I want at the minute, works been crazy this weekend and I've only got 7 hours sleep total, bad I know, it's not like I've been out or anything haha plenty of resting and plenty of growing now, hope Santa brings you your home gym, take it easy

squat s were fine, as were the dead lifts but only managed to complete three full stets of presses, i put it down to tiredness and poor nutrition, but het its christmas, and its something to learn from not dwell on
