PB of 8x3 80kg barbell deadlifts today which is awesome as thatās what I weigh
I could deadlift myself several times in a row now
Nice one! Thatās what Iām lifting too but Iām a bit heavier so I think you win . My deadlift is the one thing that keeps improving every time so itās obviously my fave.
Mineās back squats, Iām on 65kg atm but Iāll be chuffed when Iām lifting 80kg that way
Urgh back squats are my absolute worst. I struggle with 60kg so badly and last time my knees just flat out refused and I could barely go down with 40. Need to put a lot more effort into that one! Iām away for three weeks over Christmas and wonāt get into a gym and Iām worried when I come back I wonāt be able to do anything anymore
Nah the break will do you good, every time I go away for work for 2-3 weeks I come back and start pretty much where I left off (although after my first session back this time I couldnāt take stairs for three days)
Thatās good to know, I havenāt had a break of more than 2-3 days so was a bit worried it would all evaporate. Maybe a can do squats with my back pack in my hotel room or something
So now weāre at the end of 2019 how has everyoneās year gone? Did you achieve what you set out to at the start of the year?
Iām a lot fitter, stronger and lighter than I started the year and Iāve been pretty consistent at going to the gym so I guess thatās a win. However I know I couldāve done a lot better and particularly in the last month my eating habits have kind of cancelled out any progress in the gym. Obviously want to rectify that in the new year and also work on stress, sleep and hydration.
I never quite made it to consistently below 11 stone, but I think the better result is for me to be happy at being 11 stone and a pound or two. Now Iām working from home a couple of days a week I donāt go out for my lunchtime walk so Iām not doing quite so much exercise as I was. But thatās OK.
And maybe Iāll have weeks where I do better and might get down to 11 stone, but the key thing is Iām not putting weight on consistently (although I might ignore what happens in the next two weeks)
first 3/4 pretty good i guess
last couple of months diet has gone to shit but oh well. thereās always next year.
Does anyone actually keep their back straight when doing squats?
Also Iām SO wobbly when I havenāt done them for a while* and feel like Iām not doing them properly at all so whatās the point?
Urgh.
*bloody ages tbh
Wanted to lose 40lbs, Iāve lost 32. Better than nowt, good base to work on next year.
Iāve kept up my exercise, so much fitter than I was at the start of the year. Have also stuck to my diet changes and feel great for it.
A long, long, long way to go, but itās a huge improvement overall and probably the only good thing about this year. Looking forward to getting stuck in next year.
