Lol yeah, we're at least 5 hours ahead of our buddies across the pond!

Nice work up there girl. That lat raise @ 85 kg.. I'm a tad confused you can't mean lateral delt raise? If so 85kg is SHIT HOT!!! Damn you must have some shoulders on you!
 
Shit sorry lol that was lat row. Thanks for pointing that out Matey. Thanks too for your kind words. !!
 
De nada! Still impressed with your row!

I seen your pics, you got better arms than me... Lol!
 
You know i always knew i would be good a lifting but i never imagined i would lift near as much as i do lol Im addicted now no going back , haha thank you !!
 
I love lifting, been doing it on and off since I was 14, first sport (or even form of exercise) I ever did. Spent a long time not training for strength (weights CAN make you faster as well!) really only been trying to increase lifts this year. And my progress rocketed after joining EF, thanks largely to Steve and Zed! :D
 
Wow 14 and your still at it that's dedication buddy! , I've been lifting bout 5 years now . Yeah I was reading up on your log and your trying to increase your speed for martial arts that's awesome , I can't believe I spent four years lifting without EF lol I had 100s of questions bout diet, AAs lifting etc and couldn't get straight answers anywhere I came here and all them and more have been answered I have learned so much I love it , and not to mention made some great friends who share the same goals and love the same things it's great.
 
Lol thanks! I was FAT and hella unfit when u was a boy, never played sports and would skive PE at school every week, I only attended 1 school sports day in my life! And that was because I forgot about it!
At 14 they let us use the weights room at school. My first goal was a 20 kg bench!! Seriously, I couldn't do a single press up and must've been around 40% bf.
I quit lifting at about 19-20 after a martial arts coach told me it would hamper my flexibility and stamina. This lead to me getting some pretty serious back problems which stayed with me until I started heavy squats and deads again! Now I'm never gonna stop 'em (ok I've had to for the mo' thanks to my foot arch!) besides kicking power is phenomenal with some nice heavy deads! I e been back at lifting since I was 24. So about 9 years now, really wish I'd found EF back then! I'd be a monster by now!!!
I know what you mean, there is so much info on here it's unreal! And such great peeps too! I mean, you ever meet anyone nicer than Zed anywhere?? Guy is a proper diamond geeza!!
 
Wow that's crazy that you stopped and it gave you back pain must of tightened your back up with not using it as much.
I used to do judo as a kid but was never very good. However I was an amazing runner I ran for my school until I was 14 I developed asthma so that put a stop to that. I guess that's why I love lifting because I can without irritating my asthma.
Zed is like my hero he's an amazing guy so kind and considerate always helping people too.

Actually it was excessive kicking that tightened and injured my back, I used to be like a donkey, always kicking, now I'm older I stick to effective techniques rather than jumping spinning Van-Damne style kicking! I've never been much of a runner, I can out run any of my friends but by army standards I was right at the bottom, scraped my way through EVERY fitness test except the strength tests!
I actually got diagnosed with exercise induced asthma after I got out the army, it's gone now but I still have some of the medicine left, it's bloody amazing at opening airways! Lol!
Totally agree with you on our mate Zed!
 
Lmao you made me chuckle there like a donkey haha , wow van dame kicks check you out lol ! Its amazing seeing people do marital arts.
 
Lol! I don't stay in the air much these days! Far too heavy at 113 kg!! That was back in the day when I was 85kg and 9.2% bf!! Took me 5 years from the start of training at 14 (100 kg @ 40% bf) to get there! I used to film all my fights, pity I never saved any after we switched to DVD I coulda put them on YouTube! Now the only stuff I have on there is kinda crappy, stuff from '09 ain't too bad though... Pity there was no YouTube back then..

You've got to be proud of that my friend that's amazing results. I think the success is addictive lol i sure am anyway lol, I will check out some your YouTube I only saw the one you linked me.
 
Then you'll see how fat I've let myself get, went up as high as 117 kg and 30% bf (Feb '11) from 98 kg (with abs, so I was probably 10-12%) back in April '08. my profile pic on my channel is from '08 when I was abroad.

I am proud, of a lot of things. And that shit hurts when you let go and lose your fitness and stuff. I bet you can't imagine stopping training for 2.5 years eh? Lol! I truly wish I hadn't, I kept up a bit of ab work stretching and weights, but not enough to develop or even maintain what I had and the diet went out the window too! So I got huge :( now I'm on the road back and this injury occurs! I just get all the luck lol!
 
I couldn't imaging not been able to train that thought scares me lol.
I wish you a speedy recover Get plenty rest it's a good excuse to be waited on lol.

I hear ya I don't like taking time off either but you got to give that CNS a rest from time to time.

Zed is a great bro he has helped me out tremendously in reaching my goals! Check out my log if you get a chance just click on Arnold in my sig.

Oh and why does Zed call you sugazombie?
 
Yeah that is very true. Yeah he's a true gent I've never heard a bad word bout him, funny enough I was just looking for you log there lol,
Zed uses to call me sugar all the time. Until I kept putting my cardio in my log as 30 bpm instead of 130 lol so he's was like " what are you a zombie" and that's why lol. It's stuck with me!!

What you really mean is slowly but surely I'm driving you crazy Zed!! Haha thanks so much your help is worth it's weight in gold.
 
Hi Donna, I'm Rachel, I kept a log on here about a year ago and with the help of Zed and the girls made some amazing progress...

Im on the hunt for a new routine so I've been reading your log.. and I'm amazed at the results you've achieved... congrats!!

Can't wait to see what happens this year for you... I know it's going to be BIG!!!
 
Donna, I recall reading that you first started out with lighter weights, how did you determine your initial weights?
 
Hey Rachel, thanks for reading and for the kind words. I'm so impressed with my progress in the programme it they are outstanding,
Yeah I started with light weight at wk one then every workout I add 5lb unless I fail at the full 5 sets of 5 then I will re attempt next workout. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to gain strength and add serious muscle . If you would like some info on this I would be more than happy to email you the programme which I worked off. Zed put me onto this and I can't thank him enough he's an absolute legend.

Donna
 
Zed is one of a kind!! He really gave me motivation and helped out with form and what to do.. he was a huge part of the gains I made. I cant speak more highly of him.

I received the best results from an all body workout using compound moves.. so the 5x5 sounds great..

I'll pm you my email address.. thanks again Donna and I look forward to reading the continuation of your log.
 
Hey chic! No problems I will check it now ,yeah just one thing would you stop by Zed first and tell him your plans just there's a couple reasons why. I will put them in the email

Many thanks

Donna

Thank you buddy. I just can't wait to get back to lifting nxt wk.
Zed uses to call me sugar all the time. Until I kept putting my cardio in my log as 30 bpm instead of 130 lol so he's was like " what are you a zombie" and that's why lol. It's stuck with me!![/QUOTE] lol
