suck 290 felt heavy, and damn sounds like your boss is a bitch! My workouts always suffer if I drink a lot the night before.

Thanks man, i should be at 290x5 min now., but now way tonight.. god.

I know if i can hit 290x5 ill have 335x1. Sucks but we re group and recover and not drink for a while then smash week7 hard.

She is man, maniacle and kinda twisted which makes her so hot , but yeh im in a lot of trouble but not signing sh.it. Been there 8 yrs and they want me to sign a written warning for having a small radio on softly., they can forget that idea

[Woody-5]

Nice work mate, especially following a drinking session and a tough day at work


Do your best to keep your cool. You'll have a better shot at coming out on top if you're calm and she's the one losing her temper.

Not all females make bad bosses, but a lot of them are tough to deal with because they react solely on emotion rather than logic.

[Juggernaut0]

Sorry man. You were asking for trouble with that drinking the night before. lol Sorry your workout didn't turn out as well as you wanted too, but this is just 1 bad workout. No big deal.

And why did you get into it with your boss again? C'mon man. Just stay away from her right now, cuz it just seems like it's getting worse.

[Cheap5.0]

Ove, you work man? Kidding, how you been?

I see pretty well since 290x3 is "bad". Good sht mate, im following along again.

[Jrahe42]

ILO when you were sick and lost your strength did you just work hard and it slowly came back? I got sick and now I am weak as fcukk

[jshaw5]

You're a glutton for punishment with that boss woman aren't ya?

Sucks bench didn't go as planned, but that's still a solid bench session in my book.

[im2manly]

your life has fallen apart since you stopped talking to me

[Blizzard589]

Bro, get yourself under control lol next thing we know Illy is gonna be 175 lbs, addicted to coke, involved in gang activity, and with a 365 max deadlift...

[LegosInMyEgos]

ILO, in all seriousness, being 100% serious here, maybe this is a sign that its time to move on to something you're actually interested in doing?

No hate at all, but that job doesn't sound like something you want to be doing the rest of your life, and the longer you wait to try what you want to do in life, the harder its gonna be.

Thanks man, i did stay calm and got through the day. I worked with Laura today and we kinda worked without saying anything but when we spoke it was professional. I think it worked out alright today but who knows.. Might just keep my cool and just not talk back anymore.

Thanks Junior. Drinking for me always fuks up workouts the following 2-3 days but do i learn>? noooo

I didnt start this, i was minding my own business at the service counter and then got in deep sh.it for having my radio on. Meh, i spoke with a woman from head office and she believes the written warning was massive over reaction lol. good to have her on side

Ove, you work man? Kidding, how you been?

Lulz course i work.

Been ok, benching doesnt seem to want to get stronger or maybe bad workout either way i should have hit 290x5.

Thanks for coming back son

ILO when you were sick and lost your strength did you just work hard and it slowly came back? I got sick and now I am weak as fcukk

Yeah got bad salmonella poisoning bro, and basically i was benching 235x5 for a tough set and then i tried to bench 235x1 the following few days later and failed the 2nd rep badly. I couldnt even budge 405 on deadlift when few days prior pulled 480x1. It was horrible lol, but i just got back into the routine and got eating again properly after 12 days or so, then as my weight came on my frame my strength came up again, the first main week was low weights but i noticed after 2 weeks consistent training i was almost 100% then started breaking rep prs 3 weeks later. So doesnt take long bro, what happened to you?

You're a glutton for punishment with that boss woman aren't ya?

Sucks bench didn't go as planned, but that's still a solid bench session in my book.

Yeah she has a hot ass, in tight black pants and real thick and amazing.

Not a bad session thanks, but anything less than 290x4 on bench for me is not on.

your life has fallen apart since you stopped talking to me

lulz perhaps! I havent stopped talking to you mate, just dont get round the forums much as i used to. Barely go into journals as much as i should. I try update mine regularly so come in for a chat whenever.

Bro, get yourself under control lol next thing we know Illy is gonna be 175 lbs, addicted to coke, involved in gang activity, and with a 365 max deadlift...

Hah sig, thanks blizz.

Getting near the end of the year and we gotto drink and party and meet ladies man. Im getting old and need a mrs.

Thanks mate, i think your right.

I have my retail security course starting mid jan which i intend to start and heard plenty of work in there so should be ok. I would much rather do that and had many mall officers say i should get into it also. But right now work is getting me money and sometimes we need to get money to keep our car going, our food coming in, our billz to be met etc even in the short term if it means staying somewhere your not happy. IMO.

Its been a good 3 months since i checked in on ya, i was a bit surprised to see you still around 205. Have the lifts been stalled lately, or just a ****ty week?

Yeah not moving along as much as i would have liked to, couple rep prs on squats and deads last month or so but nothing at all that indicates real progress. Hit some decent push presses last week and a 475x5 deadlift, had 7 in me.' Trying to maintain 205 ish dont want to get much heavier at this point.

Jest of course.

475x5 is nothing to sneeze at...thats more than you did 12 months ago at the same weight. Just curious if you were still trying to grow like that.

[dopamine72]

Should have taken my advice and abused that Persian whore in bed making her cry. Now instead she thinks she has the upper hand and she's taking advantage. You should rape her to regain control and possibly make her bleed a little.

Anyways J/K, sorta

If I were you I would find a new job and tell that kunt to phuck off, srs.

how wide is your grip on the push press?

[Ironlife]

how wide is your grip on the push press?

Id say about the same as bench press, infact exactly the same pinkys just in from the rings. Should it be wider?

poocy

Jest of course.

Thanks son, na happy with around 200s ish

I too seem to think it is better slightly narrower, more tris seem to get activated.

Thanks my man!

Good to get out some nice anger on the deads and throw the bar around, went out last night but didnt drink much at all bro. Went to Stkilda beach till 2 am walking along the pier talking to less than reputable characters. But good night, for sure. Met a hot personal trainer chick, she was 20 and kinda liked me, but i was beta and didnt get her number coz her friends were around.

Probably some virus of some sort, seems the worst is over mate.

Keep up the eating and some heavy deads. Wehn you gonna train powerlifting again?

[Woody-5]

Sounds like a good evening. It's definitely not beach weather up here. We had a bit of snow yesterday
