and thats just his waistline Member 391, 2799 posts SQ 217.5, BP 152.5, DL 272.5642.5 kgs @ 89.1kgs UnEq | Tonights training Squats 10 x bar 5 x 60 kg 5 x 100 kg 5 x 110 kg Belt on 5 x 120 kg 5 x 130 kg 5 x 140 kg Leg press 8 x 200 kg 8 x 240 kg 8 x 280 kg Ab stuff I don't normally train Wednesdays but I fancied getting in a bit more squatting this week to push the back a bit more. Still got a few doubts in my head but the 5 x 140 was ok. The recent weight loss was evident when I put my lifting belt on and could pull it in another notch. | ||

The 140's felt very good, partly due to my new Karrimor training shoes (bargain at £12), much more sturdy than my old running shoes and with just the right amount of heal for squatting, I would go as far as to say they might add a few more kg's to the bar when I'm fully fit. Got paid by the gym owner in chocolate pro-peptide tonight for doing his website, very tasty | ||

Member 541, 5328 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Good stuff mate. You used to do hyperextensions, perhaps they would strengthen the affected area of your back? | ||

The 225 was only just, especially at the top, very close to having to hitch it, 230 wouldn't have been there. Safe to say the back has healed nicely! Getting stronger while losing weight, long may it last, it won't. | ||

You have to take some of the credit Dan, if you hadn't suggested the Bill Starr Rehab stuff there's no way I would have been back to full fitness yet. | ||
