Weight Training Thread

[Dddddd]

…all the footy training in my playing days, all the gym stuff for years after I stopped playing and I’ve never picked up weights, never appealed to me in the least.

The progress gets addictive

Who body reaps the benefit of squatting bro, stop being a [Poor language removed]

I don’t want a massive arse cheers mate

My days are done as an old man. Make no mistake I’m still there gripping that old cold steel and denying gravity its claim but the gains are hard won and easy lost now.

Rage! Rage against the dying of the light! Im pushing 50 and all my squat/dead/bench PB’s have been in the last 12 months, though I did almost lose consciousness at the bottom of a squat on Thursday. I start every session knowing that death or a PB are possible.

I’ll come back to this in a year if the thread is still open.

Good numbers but they’d all shoot up if you started doing squats and deadlifts, even if you do have huge legs already.

My friends. The answer is deadlifts.

And it does not matter what the question is.

I’m 6’5”. Feel like I’m a bit screwed over doing deadlifts.

Could do rack pulls instead

Could do rack pulls instead

Or trap bar deadlifts. Less benefit to the posterior chain but you still get to pick up something massive.

I literally go to the gym to pick up something massive and briefly forget the glaring inadequecies of my life (and chuckle at the lads in there wearing sunglasses, fingerless gloves and a weighbelt to do their dumbell bicep curls).
