How much do you weigh? How long you been training? What is your bench like in comparison?
The last 6 months of training have been really awesome, can't wait to start training strongman properly next year after my USA trip.
Although I've come to the realization that I can no longer fit small tops

Started gymming again a month and a bit ago. Cannot believe I didn't start earlier.
Working out when I was bigger was a chore; having slimmed down, I can see how people become fitness junkies. It's addictive, almost drug-like. Find myself wanting to go two to three times daily, just for the rush it gives me. Body has naturally started waking up at 5am. Nothing tops it
Never been this happy before, and can say finally starting an exercise program is a big, big part of it. If you're on the fence, just do it

Alright, well the starting weight was 123.6kg as I got weighed at a doctors appointment the Saturday before the first session. It’s been two weeks on the meal plan and had my first week of the training program last week and I weighed in at 121.1 this past Saturday. Consuming around 1900-2100 calories a day, a lot of carbs for energy for the gym and according to my watch I’m burning around 3200-3500 calories a day so I’m in a decent deficit. 7 weeks to go until 1rm day and then we’ll do the 8 weeks again!
That’s my current issue, but it’s not a bad one. The meal plan is a s**t load more volume than I am used to and there’s 5 snacks a day I’m meant to eat on it but I’m currently only managing 2 of them as I am so damn full!Pushing 80kgs due to eating a lot of food. Too much.
If I eat all the snacks it puts the calories to about 2400 a day, still a deficit but I’m genuinely too full .The calories are low BUT because you are just getting back into things it’s the best time to lose body fat, gain muscle and get stronger even on low calories - 100% bro science
Alright gang. Go easy. I always like to refer back to these for myself so here’s a bit of an update. What a s**t 6 months it’s been. Haven’t really shared this, but with the cloak of internet anonymity here goes.
I had an ectopic pregnancy 6 months ago. I was 8 weeks along. We weren’t trying. I found out the night I ended up in hospital from the abdomen pain. Life happens. That’s a different story.
On the plus side, I didn’t have invasive surgery, but it dragged out over 3 weeks. Then my body had to heal (no heavy lifting for a while) and then I had to mentally get over it. Long story short, I was out for 5 months and my ass looked like a wall again.
I’ve been back now for 2 months, and things are coming back slooooowwwwly. Lower bod is quicker because I’m training it every second day. Upper bod is slower and I’m carrying much more fat than I would like.
54kg.

Squats and Deads 50kg.
Also for anyone wondering - my calves stayed ******* ginormous the entire time. They defy all logic.
Life does indeed happen, and as I’d discovered the world doesn’t tend to stop for us so we gotta just keep on truckin’.
You’re looking good (all things considered).
I’m also going to set you a goal of a 100kg deadlift by the end of next year (if you get a consistent run at lifting).
Hit that and you’ll be guaranteed to have buns of steel
Yep, indeed.
Can I cheat and use wraps? I have the grip strength of a small child.
