Garage Strength Journal 2018

Any chance of favour mate?

Next post about workout can you NOT use under line?

Every post about your workout the app is cutting off first line or so and to read it I’ve got to quote and discard

Just so I can let @Simon know what’s causing it, as last time I highlighted this there was no obvious reason.

Not a problem mate ill post it twice once for your self and again for @Fatbrah so he can keep enjoying those thick solid tight lines lol

I was going to ask how tall you were as I couldn't decide if you were massive or if your garage was small lol

also, you missed a trick in the naming of the thread

Im 6ft4 mate and the garage is small, the end of it was turned into an office by my landlord when he lived here.

Might have to change my journal name lol

First time iv been able to bench press pain free for a couple of weeks now so weight was low and volume was high I think in bodybuilding circles that's called the pump or the burn lol.

I'm actually enjoying the lighter loads especially not having any niggling pains were I usually have them.

@Simon

No bold and underlining as first line and full post comes through on app.
Guess app doesn’t like both together

Bizarre but thank you, I can speak to the developers and make them aware of the issue and hopefully it won’t be long until they have a fix.

This was quite sickly to be honest not done so many reps on squatting in so long lol, my knee felt quite comfortable again the weights nothing to brag about but it gives me something to build on.
I did try some lunges but after 4-5 reps my knee was starting to hurt so they wont be returning.
No lifting tomorrow but ill be doing some cardio before deadlifts on Thursday.

Weighed myself today im currently sitting at 19st 1lb. I only started tracking my calories on Wesnesday and have dropped 4lbs so using this as my starting point i want to slowly bring my weight down to about 17 stone i think i could achieve a decent sustainable physique at that weight.

Bench - 200kg
Deadlift - 300kg
Squat - 225kg (By far my worst lift)

Already been said, but, yeah, strong ass lifting!!

I'm curious though. Maybe this was covered already but your training weights seem a long way off what I'd expect from lifts like that! Injured? Long lay off?

That bench looked too easy by the way!
