Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

83.5% for my squat. 63% Bench. 135% for Deadlift. 42% strict Overhead Press.62% for a power clean.

My boys keep telling me I'm far too cautious with my increases so I'm not making the "Gainz" I could but I'm fine with making slow progress and not getting injured. I don't have a spotter either so confidence, particularly on Squat and Bench, is not high if I push things on.

Need to be careful with Cleans as bad technique can rally eff your back up. I have OK rather than good technique but it certainly deteriorates if I push the weight up too quickly. Good for power generation on the rower though.

[it's a long time since I've read the Mirror, especially the 'toons section. I happen to have seen today's copy and am pleased to report that the Eyeballs appeared in the sky today :-) ]

Starting to get back into the swing of my weight training now, so much so that I have had to request that they buy more plates for the work gym.

(The answer was maybe)
