  • I got the beginning stages of quad tendonitis. And still 2 weeks left of this god damn program. Any suggestions before it gets more serious?

  • I saw a guy load 100kg on the bar, psyche himself up and quarter squat it. Then some lad came and front squatted 120kg for reps with pretty god damn perfect form.

  • Decided I will get 531 forever maybe next paycheck. Bought converses and Rogue Wrist wraps 24" White series. Hopefully squats will stop fucking my wrists up once form starts getting fatigued. Does anyone know of any shoes that are good for lifting in general like converses but not quite as expensive? I wear through shoes pretty fast.

  • I know a lot of you better than most of my friends. That's not to say I know any of you that well but that I know my own friends so poorly.

  • Gaming is a weird hobby when I think about it. Its pretty much the ultimate time sink. Most games don't really teach me anything. You can read a book or write a story or watch a tv series and you come out of it learning something or creating something of use. I spent a couple of hours playing a game last night and it just kinda felt like time wasted that could have been done doing anything else. I compare it to lifting, lifting you put a couple of hours into it each week and you get paid back in dividends, gaming, you can spend 4 times as long and what do you get?

  • Stick 2 scoops of whey protein in Skyr yogurt. Almost 90 grams of protein per 500 g. Nice.

  • I got called "fucking retarded" on the internet. Can I get a flair request? "A dumb dude". Suits me better. Plus, its alliteration.

  • Thinking on "Am I a beginner". I feel more like a beginner now than I did 6 months in. Every 3 months or so I learn my opinions on everything with regards my training were at best half-correct. What applied at the start of the year doesn't now. There's these huge gaps in my knowledge as to knowing how to fix an exact issue when it arises. What applies to me now will be probably of very little use when I bench 200kg.
