I wouldn't like to have a gum buddy. Or rely on music. Sack that. Get in there and train like a motherf*cker. Its not social club or school disco you utter whelk.

Its the cooking of the meals that puts me off, if I didn't work I'd be gourmet all the time.

Often what I do when I cook a meal is make enough for 2 or 3 meals, I eat some and then put the rest in Tupperware boxes and freeze them. It's handy for like pasta and curry sauces, means you just have to cook the pasta/rice when you want to eat.

I've had a bad wrist strain for two weeks, done it in my sleep I think ffs.

Got the wrist straps tighter than yer mar's jeans at the moment and training through it.

Lost over half a stone in six weeks.

Pretty good that.

Did you have a haircut or something?

No gym buddy OR music?

[Poor language removed] that. I get bored so easily, got to have me some house or old school DnB to keep me going.

**** right off. I need a spotter or when I reach failure I will crush myself and that's not really a viable option. Maybe you aren't hammering the weights enough if you feel completely safe.

I've been going on my bill for ages, not having a spotter is annoying at times but then the gym I go only has dumbells anyway, and they're much easier to do on your own.

Mods?

If you need a spotter to lift or you could hurt yourself by dropping the weight then you're doing it wrong. You could cause yourself other injuries too lids. Drop down a weight and build yourself up to twelve reps over three or four sets as you desire. Then when you move up a weight you should be able to do eight reps comfy enough. Then keep pushing one rep up when you can. Job done. Gradual but safer increases and you'll have better control of the exercise you're doing which is key.

If you're looking for more advice lads then snort five lines of protein after each work out ok?

On a serious note, do you think doing 12 reps per set is what you should be aiming for with each exercise? I'm usually do between 8-10 I think.

I need a spotter (ie you) to get to failure on the bigger weights though. Dumbells are good but still need someone to coax maybe one or two more reps out. Plus you waste so much energy setting yourself up and getting into position with the weights when you do something like incline on your own.

Depends, not always. If you're building strength and bulk then yes 8-10 would be sound. I'm shaping so I'm up to 12 reps on my main exercises. I supplement it with some lower weight and more rep exercises but meant as a general rule.

I could have a spotter and bench silly weights but I'm not controlling the exercise naturally and putting strain on other supporting muscles unnessarily. If you can do exercises where you isolate the muscle then its obviously better.

Do you do drop sets, oh oracle of the iron?

Yeah ideally I'd like to get using a bar instead of dumbells, it's just the gym I go to costs £7 a month to use to I'm pretty much bound to it. I'd consider using another gym once a week to do heavier lifting though, there's one right by the Wallasey tunnel (Liverpool side) which is good for that.

Where is that exactly? I'd happily pop over to do that with you Monday if you fancy?

Roid heads are out in force tonight, there'll be an angry arse raping dished out by one of you by the end of the night, eyes bulging and veins popping.
