never heard of them

i know some people take fish oil for that, but its apparently debatable if taking it in tablets actually does anything or not. no idea about collagen.

why not though

Used to work with a nutritionist person who swore by it - also put in her coffee. I just assumed it was bollocks, but she used to be a professional triathlete so what do I know.

And @profk just had my first collagen - how soon before I start looking and feeling ten years younger?

Just made a protein/bcaa/collagen hybrid shake - what have I become?

PB of 8x3 80kg barbell deadlifts today which is awesome as that’s what I weigh

I could deadlift myself several times in a row now

Nice one! That’s what I’m lifting too but I’m a bit heavier so I think you win :smiley:. My deadlift is the one thing that keeps improving every time so it’s obviously my fave.

Mine’s back squats, I’m on 65kg atm but I’ll be chuffed when I’m lifting 80kg that way

#1973

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! I’m away for three weeks over Christmas and won’t get into a gym and I’m worried when I come back I won’t be able to do anything anymore :grimacing:

#1974

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 couldn’t take stairs for three days)

That’s good to know, I haven’t 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 :smiley:

So now we’re at the end of 2019 how has everyone’s year gone? Did you achieve what you set out to at the start of the year?

I’m a lot fitter, stronger and lighter than I started the year and I’ve been pretty consistent at going to the gym so I guess that’s a win. However I know I could’ve 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.
