3 times,I can understand why that would be almost pathetic to onlookers but thats life.Unexpected things transpire and life changes in ways that are not always favorable to our goals/aspirations,which have to take a back seat to reality.One can only try to keep moving forward and put past...

Hello all It has been a long time since I have managed to keep a consistent training schedule.Due to various circumstances in my life I strayed from my training for close to a year.Although I deeply regret this fact it is in the past now and I must move forward with a positive mindset.Now that...

Sorry if this is a stupid question,but what is your part time job?I have heard you mention it loads of times and its effects upon your workouts but I have no idea what you do. Again sorry if this is a silly question :rainbow: .

Greetings all It has been quite some time since I have last posted here on these forums.Much has transpired in my life in the last 5-6months that has totally derailed my training in the aforementioned time period.Family issues,money issues,jobsearching and starting a new job have all had an...

The past few weeks I have been increasing slowly as I have gradually added 2 interval sprint sessions on the off days for cardio.I would rather go slow and take a few more weeks to build up then blow myself out fatigue wise.The extra cardio seems to help however and I may increase my rate of...

Wow it has been a long time since I updated this journal. Have been training slowly but consistantly over the past few months.Strength has gone up a bit despite bodyweight being stable.I think I may be getting a bit leaner due to my new eating habits.I had long suspected that I was intolerent...

Hard to say,it would depend on many factors.Things like bodyweight,bodyfat %,cardiovascular health and probably most importantly genetics would all factor into the equation.Some of the biggest strongmen are 350lb+,which needless to say,puts some stress on the heart even if they are relativily...

Thanks for the kind feedback guys,im suprised anyone remembers me :) . Had a good sleep last night,very deep and refreshing.Extensive DOMS in my legs/hips so I went for a light 15min jog which seemed to ease it a bit,active recovery I guess.Shouldnt be of any detriment and has only helped in...

A training program is not just an obscure list of bodyparts as you have listed,it is a means of organising your lifting for progression over the long term.Simply going into the gym and bombing a certain bodypart on a certain day with whatever you feel like is not an effective means of...
