Jesus cunting Christ, I had enough of that shit from evil little tarts like that when I was at school! They were trying to impress the skanky bumfluff boys and they were talking in *that* accent. You know the one I mean. Ugh, ugh UGH!!!!! I just want to go down there and twat the little bastards!!!!

Didn't go to work today. Day started with me texting my boss at 8.30 to ask if he objected to me taking a day's leave. APparently not, he wanted to know if I was off somewhere nice. I replied no, I just couldn't be bothered to go to work :lol:

Good gym session today. Nothing amazing, but I got a couple of PBs. The air con was off so I was sweating like a paedo in Mothercare, which explains why I gave up on deadlifts cos my grip was worse than usual. Did light sets on iso lat machine too becuae my right forearm had completely given up the ghost by that point! :D

Time I had a bath - I need it - I smell and I'm starting to stiffen up a bit......beer festival tonight but I'm not going to that - just a nice quiet night out I think and no getting into trouble this weekend!!!! ]]> Beklet http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/beklet/418-dirty-chav-scum.html http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/slamdog/417-day-15-16.html Fri, 10 Oct 2008 16:21:04 GMT didn't get to fill in yesterday..

Pretty uneventful day though, was out shopping till 3am, then went to bed, up again at 7am to get the kids to school...

good job it was only a cardio day...

so off to the gym, an hour on the crosstrainer and then home..

went to bed after 8 out of 10 cats....

Today.. woo hoo! Friday!

so, up at 7 as usual, kids to school, and walk to gym...

I thought bugger it and went for it..

deads, leg presses, incline press, overhead press, lat pulldowns, calf raises.. and then half an hour on the treadmill..

just got home and was asked by one of my neighbours if i could drive a van....

eneded up driving the van, unloading it (they were moving house) and taking it back to the rental place... so even more lifting..

I really feel it now... just chilling now, tmf on the telly, cataloguing dvds ready to stick in the system here...

no gym for a couple of days so i'm hoping to be fully rested for monday... ]]> Slamdog http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/slamdog/417-day-15-16.html http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/ginnus21/416-hi-everyone.html Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:30:59 GMT I'm actually an Aussie here in the UK.

Thought it was a good idea to do it there because i had lacrosse right after and knew i was going to be running so blood would flow etc. I'm still gaining around a pound a day, i've gained 6 pounds so far. My leg is really sore today just above my kneecap.

To be honest I was feeling a bit unwanted, having another 'fat' day and just generally out of sorts.

Got to the gym and did nothing earth shattering but it was a good workout. Spending an hour in front of various mirrors while feeling about as attractive as....oh I dunno, something not very attractive (that's the problem when most of the gym goers are in reasonable shape but it doesn't half spur you on to do something!!) is not much fun though. Caught a couple of people watching me earlier. That makes me paranoid.

Things I should do tomorrow include buy milk and a shaker cup seeing as I appear to have lost mine. Taking protein to the gym will help.

Had a quick look at some earlier entries - I seem to be training more consistently and my diet has got better (honest!!)
My weights have even gone up a bit, but not nearly enough, but now I'm eating enough protein, that might change! Had a good workout today, even if I couldn't do any hamstring curls cos all the machines were in use!!!
Despite my niggly shoulder, I did OK on the lifts.
Must stop staring into space between sets - I'm sure a couple of blokes at the gym were paranoid I was staring at them....

Good or entertaining things that happened today.....
I had a good workout
I managed to completely blank someone in the pub (they did deserve it)
I ordered my ticket for Notts

Bad things that happened today.....
For some reason the mirror in the gym changing rooms conspired to tell me I really am a bloated hog :sad:, in fact I usually look a state when I'm in the gym. I would even use the term 'hideous' - how do other people manage to look acceptable???
If I thought I could get away with it, I'd wear a paper bag to the gym......:cursing:
I didn't get enough work done.

I decided to mix things up a bit today and did some leg work as well as back and shoulders...

I decided with my current pain level to not do deads today though and started on the leg press.. I peaked at 190kg for 7 reps on my fifth set which impressed me as it didn't hurt my back at all.. ok it didn't work as many muscles as deads would have done but i was trying to avoid making my back any worse...

Also did leg extensions, wide and narrow pulldowns, rows and overhead presses...

then did 40 mins on the cross trainer...

all in all a reasonable session, and the walk home wasn't too bad either... ]]> Slamdog http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/slamdog/411-day-14.html http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/pablo19/410-day3.html Tue, 07 Oct 2008 22:24:17 GMT I've started putting on about a pound a day(which is about 4 lbs lol), my appetite is up and my workouts are more intense. I'm pushing myself harder and starting to lift a little heavier. If i keep putting on weight like i am right now i'll gain probly 30 pounds by the time i'm done.(i can only wish...) Buddy is gaining weight as well but he isnt gaining in a different way, looks to be heavier, not really stronger. He's getting all the side effects, so far i've been pretty lucky. ]]> Pablo19 http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/pablo19/410-day3.html http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/beklet/409-getting-shallow.html Tue, 07 Oct 2008 20:21:03 GMT Something I've noticed, recently.

(sort of gym related but mainly me whining and assassinating my own character again if you want to leave)

I worry I'm becoming a bit superficial :sad:

I won't say I'm not fussy (but I'm probably not lol) but I've never been too bothered by appearances - I've never really had a 'type' as such.
I may joke about the fact I've been banned from chubby chasing, but in my youth I was all for the really skinny blokes. I was at a gig last week and there were some really skinny punks there - exactly what I used to go for, but I just wasn't remotely interested. Same with the chubby blokes I used to fancy.

Seems now, unless he's fairly built (and not contest standard either - just plenty of muscle) I won't even look twice.

How bad is that? I hate to be judged for my appearance and now I'm doing it myself, and it's not like I have an award winning physique!!! :lol:

Oh dear......not really sure what to do about that lol. Don't want to become superficial and shallow and everything else I despise in people...... :scared: ]]> Beklet http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/beklet/409-getting-shallow.html http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/beklet/407-libido-training.html Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:31:44 GMT How odd. The more I train, the higher it gets....this would be an excellent thing but the only way to work off the excess energy is to go to the gym (vicious circle)...and there are distractions aplenty lol :laugh: Ah well, it could be worse.....

Ah well, it could be worse.....

Despite thinking I would be too sore to train meaningfully today, I was wrong, even though I picked up completely the wrong weight for a 'light' biceps exercise - oops!

Used a machine for bench today and couldn't do much weight though I suppose I'm not factoring in the 8kg the machine weighs (not sure if that's per side)

Feeling good now hope I start to see results soon - diet, while not perfect is vastly improved though I had to eat curry (home made) for breakfast otherwise it would have gone off by tomorrow (just finished the last of it now) - oh and I need to buy a shaker for my protein so I can take it to the gym.....need to be able to carry milk too, cos they use UHT and it's filthy!! :laugh: ]]> Beklet http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/beklet/407-libido-training.html http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/herdy/405-spots-scars.html Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:01:25 GMT anybody out there who no's how to get rid of the dreaded acne , my sholders are red raw. im on the same gear i usally use and neva had a problem. ]]> herdy http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/herdy/405-spots-scars.html http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/zaxxxxx/404-never-tried-anything-like-before.html Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:31:10 GMT Just done a two week cycle of meth test 1 (MADOL).

I kept the intake down to 10mg ED just to see how my naturaly aquired mass reacted and to keep any sides to the minimum. I did plenty of research before I started just to be safe and there were many different opinions. According to most of it if you're over 200lbs you should be on 20mg ED. I did milk thistle during the cycle and have had no sides at all. Some of you guys realy know you're stuff so I thought I'd ask for some advice before my next cycle so as to get the best out of it, hopefully without too much PCT. ]]> ZAXXXXX http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/zaxxxxx/404-never-tried-anything-like-before.html http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/blogs/andreww60/403-arms-chest.html Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:01:12 GMT Back at the gym today, arms and chest, do you find that a wek off makes you weaker...
