You might need vegemite to clear yourself out at this rate.
That, plus a grilled pike.

Keep up the good work. If your going to get serious, I see you are taking your time. This is smart. You can't cut a tree down with one chop. You will end up hurting yourself. TEQUILA is my poison.

I've never tried Vegemite. I have heard it is inferior to Marmite. I've never eaten a pike either. Its illegal, and in my line of work I can't risk breaking fishery rules. I'd eat one if I was allowed.

Thanks. I've never done this 5/3/1 routine before. I think it's OK as a routine, but I don't think it's the best when you have powerlifting goals in mind. I feel as though the volume is quite low, and the frequency of the lifts is only once a week. But I'm not entirely injury free, I'm still a bit worn and torn from my previous lifting days. So, taking it slow is probably a good idea.

Bench Day

Warm up movements and 3 warm up sets.

Working Sets:

60 X 3
70 X 3
77.5 X 5 (Amrap) ...could easily have done more but didn't want to max out.

80 X 3
85 X 3
85 X 5...probably should have left it at 4, because I was one rep away from failure. Doesn't matter much.

Assistance sets:

3 sets of 42.5 X 10, working on speed.
2 sets of 45 X 10, performed very slowly.

Barbell rows

3 sets of 60 X 10
2 sets of 65 X 10

Then walked the long way home..approx 3.5 - 4 miles. Saw a pheasant in a tree. Saw some chemtrails.

My benching is obviously very weak, but I've only been benching for about 4 weeks because of shoulder impingement, so I suppose I should be happy with what I can do.

Ate loads of lasagne.

If you've only been benching about 4 weeks that's not bad at all. Can't be far of 100 already.

Not sure about the eating pike being illegal thing. -If you were fishing a stretch of public water (not club owned) that was un-stocked, then surely taking a pike would be the same as taking a trout?

-I grew up in rural north essex and there was much feralness. Pike were eaten - apparently - although I never saw it happen obviously. Apparently they were best had weighing under 4lb, baked in foil with herbs and butter inside. Apparently.

Which part of the country are you in if I may ask? Weekly fishing trips would be awesome. I just make up for my year round inactivity on the fishing front by fishing every day (sometimes I go twice) on hols.

Thanks, mate. 100 shouldn't be far off. As far as benching goes, I'm still clearly getting beginners gains. 4 weeks ago I could only bench 50.

Pike aren't game fish, so the rules are quite different from salmon, trout etc. Even if the water isn't a club water, it still falls under the jurisdiction of the environmental agency. In reality, there are few unmanaged freshwaters here in the UK. Until recently, it was legal to remove zander on some waters, but as of last year, that is also now illegal...if not for all waters, then some of them.

I've known people to eat pike, and I've been told they taste quite good.

I am from the North West mate.

Alright Steven. I also enjoy salmon and marmite (independanly of each other) very much indeed. Though I prefer bovril. Vegemite is also good. Where in the north west are you from? I myself am from there, though I no longer reside there.

Insulina be with you

Hello Jack Revans,

Nor have I tried salmon with Marmite. But I am going to try it today. I think it may actually taste rather splendid. Your preference of Bovril reminds me of when I used to drink bovril from mugs with my Grandad. He said it puts hairs on your chest.

I am Lancashire born and bred, my mother is from East Lancashire, but I'm from the Ormskirk area, which is a bit closer to Liverpool than it is to Manchester. I consider myself to be some form of hybrid. I once ceased to reside in the North West, but lifes twists relocated me to my place of natural origin. I hope to once more escape.

May Bovril strengthen your bones and sharpen your nails.

Steve

Squats - trained in the social utopia that is Wigan

Warm up movements and sets. Couldn't warm up my lower back on the back extension because it was occupied by a female.

Working sets (felt more like warm ups):

92.5 X 3
107.5 X 3
120 X 4 ....this was the Amrap set and I was supposed to do more, but a foolish rapscallion began lunging about directly in front of me, ruined my line of focus and the bar began to dump forward. He was consequently reprimanded.

Additional sets

130 X 3
130 X 3 (this last set was the easiest of the lot).

Dammed stupid squat racks are a pile of rubbish, far too wide...it makes stepping back quite dangerous because the plates get caught on the edges.

Assistance sets

Five sets of 65 X 10, with very little rest between sets.
The first 4 performed focusing on speed, the last set performed slowly with a pause at the bottom.

This assistance squats took it out of me, after the last set I went down onto my hands and knees, where I stayed for a few minutes, swearing profusely in a most ungentlemanly fashion.

Warm up sets.

Working sets (felt like warm up sets - strength must be increasing)

35 X 5
37.5 X 3
42.5 X 1 (supposed to be amrap, but wanted to leave some in tank for max testing).

50 X 1
55 X 1
60 X 1
65 X 1 ... only just made this one. Its my max. Pathetically week, but much better than 3 weeks ago. Hopefully my shoulder will be ok from now on.

50 X 6

Assistance sets

3 sets of 10 at 30 kg.
2 sets of 10 at 35 kg.

Chin ups.

5 X 10.

Absolutely shattered today, slept terribly last night. Took some nose tork along to help me along. Gave some to a lad who was squatting, he'd never tried it before. He let out a small cough, then squatted. I thought he'd had non, but when he finished and turned round, his eyes were red and watering, and his face was purple, and he complained of being blind.

Saw an industrial fire on the way home.

When I lived in the city walking from a gym, I heard a scary scream under a bridge. I was standing on a homeless person living in the ground under plywood. 50 years in the city was enough.
