either Im a penis or Im not a penis Member 722, 2977 posts SQ 300, BP 220, DL 350 870.0 kgs @ 123kgs UnEq	OK I am going to write a journal to chart my progress post bicep re-attachment and rehab. I am back to about pre-op strength of 75%. My season was going very well in 2012, came 3rd in the Englands Midlands qualifier; 3rd in Dave Meers Midlands UKs qualifier, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I have really overhauled my nutrition and am at 113kg and 13% BF. I believe one of the reasons I had the injury was due to very poor nutrition and supplementation. It is impossible to improve something a 100% but if you can improve a 100 things 1% you're there. I have started to get some average weights shifted the last couple of weeks: Push Press 140kg for 3 reps Deadlifted 320kg for a single Squatted 270kg for a single Peaked last week so working on speed this week and will gradually build back up again. I will post videos up when I can to make it a little more interesting. Have booked in for Elite strongmans comp in January and hope to get an invite to Euro qualifiers and finally get to the UKs final. X-Trainer: 10 mins steady pace. Box Squats: (All with a 3 sec pause) 1 x 8 @ 60kg - Extremely explosive 1 x 8 @ 100kg - Extremely explosive 1 x 5 @ 140kg - Extremely explosive 1 x 5 @ 160kg - Extremely explosive 1 x 8 @ 180kg - Extremely explosive Speed Work: 3 x 3 @ 140kg - 5 second Pause. All very fast Deads: D/O No Chalk 1 x 5 @ 60kg 1 x 5 @ 100kg 1 x 5 @ 120kg 1 x 5 @ 140kg 1 x 5 @ 160kg 1 x 5 @ 180kg Speed: 3 x 2 @ 180kg Leg Extensions: 3 x 15 @ F/S Leg Press: 1 x 10 @ 400kg 1 x 10 @ 450kg 1 x 10 @ 550kg Standing Calf: 1 x 20 @ 40kg 1 x 20 @ 80kg 1 x 20 @ 120kg 1 x 20 @ 160kg 1 x 20 @ 200kg Hamstring Curls: 1 x 20 @ 45kg 1 x 20 @ 53kg 1 x 20 @ 60kg 1 x 20 @ 67kg 1 x 20 @ 84kg Step onto bench for 3 mins.

It is possible to lose weigt whilst putting on lean tissue, I aim to prove it.

technical retard Member 172, 36827 posts SQ 310, BP 205, DL 335 850.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	didnt realise you were so light! what BW do you aim to hit? Historically, it would appear that it's very difficult to be competitive for UKSC places etc under 125KG...be interesting to see how you fared if you were significantly lighter
