Insane but back in the game

Dalic		Insane but back in the game	17-11-2024 @ 16:22
Member 3328, 13 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 250 560.0 kgs @ 126kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 18.11.2024 @ 09:30 AM by Dalic I started strength training back in 2010, but I had a bad period of severe mental health issues. I started in a strength gym 6 months ago and will focus on getting as strong as possible and competing in natural strongman. I'm really into promoting health and well-being and mental health awareness now. I believe that the future of strength sports are drug-free, and I hope to inspire more people to compete naturally. I've just started doing a 3/5/1 template, but I am focusing on the deadlift, OHP, front squats, and power clean. I will add an event day and train four times per week. Height: 6'3 Weight: 126kg

Member 3328, 13 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 250 560.0 kgs @ 126kgs UnEq	Back in the gym yesterday after having 9 days off. My mental health is much better these but my motivation can be poor at times. Push press 50kg x 5, 70kg x3, 90kg x 1, 100kg x 1 - I failed at 105kg but I think that is technique-related. Squats 60kg x 5, 100kg x 5 x 5 x 5 Close grip Bench 50kg x 5, 70kg x 5, 90kg x 3 Barbell row 60kg x 5 x 5 x 5

Dalic		On the game for fame, but I'm too lame	05-10-2025 @ 08:22

But on a serious note, I'm starting my journey toward health and well-being. My focus is primarily on self-defence, specifically Aikido and kickboxing, to boost my confidence, lose some weight, and connect with others in a supportive environment that emphasises self-improvement and cooperation rather than competition and also strength training for the mental health benefits.

Member 3328, 13 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 250 560.0 kgs @ 126kgs UnEq	Although I haven’t been going to the gym, I’ve managed to lose 10 kg by maintaining a calorie deficit—largely due to spending more time on online games. At around 110 kg, I feel stronger and more capable, but my focus has shifted toward improving my overall health and well-being. I’ve found that home training is the most sustainable approach for me, so I’m currently using a 15 kg dumbbell and plan to add resistance bands up to 120 kg. With age, I’ve come to value cooperation, good relationships, and helping others far more than pursuing ego-driven strength goals.

Member 3328, 13 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 250 560.0 kgs @ 126kgs UnEq	I once chased a 400kg deadlift and the hollow crown of 'superiority.' After walking through the fire of my own mind—call it what you will, from the medical to the conspiratorial—I’ve realized that real strength isn't about being 'better' than anyone else. It’s about using that iron to stay grounded. I'm now an advocate for mental well-being, promoting a gym culture of cooperation and genuine joy for others. No ego, no judgement—just people getting stronger together.
