TT350 Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Sundayyyyyyyyy GAINZZZZ!! Wish I'd made my own roast potatoes though. Frozen ones just aren't as good. But, Hollands meat and potato pie tins make great Yorkshire Pudding tins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Well ive had a nasty cold for 2 weeks which meant ive been unable to workout, despite tons of motivation, and now just when I thought I was getting over that, its turned into sinusitus, so for last 7 days ive had sore throat which turned into headache/toothache and endless amounts of snot/blood from my nose. Talk about getting a raw deal. So that will be 3 weeks of no working out, just when I thought i was making a little progress. I did actually try and have a light workout yesterday but thought my head was going to explode. 1 step forward and 3 back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I miss potatoes Lost 3lb last week, despite being a bit cheeky with a kebab and a meal out with a ginormous lamb shank. Nearly into the 12st zone now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT350 Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 How's it going for everyone? Summer will soon be here and I've got an itching to buy a whole new summer wardrobe so even more incentive to keep grinding away at the iron mill. Will be back in the Z attending meets so I have to be MASSIVE! Lol. Anyone on holiday this summer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Don't think I'm even back to where I was. Feel like a twig and my pull-ups have gone to pot. I think my endurance has taking the biggest hit, but I've been neglecting the creatine, which might explain it.

I think my endurance has taking the biggest hit, but I've been neglecting the creatine, which might explain it. I don't know if I can even do a pullup. Never tried. I do lateral pull down for my lats and biceps get blasted on arm day. I haven't tried creatine in years. Do you find it helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Well, lat pull down is pretty much the same thing, but with less muscle recruitment. If you can lat pull down your weight, you can do pull-ups Usually people start with lat pull down until they have the strength to do pull-ups, then move onto weighted pull-ups or fancy ones. No idea if creatine helps or does anything at all. I've never noticed any change or difference after more than 2 years training. I can only go by other's comments or the very rare occasions I measure something. Creatine is quite strongly recommended though, supposed to increase water retention (which makes you look bigger) and improve endurance. It's so cheap though that I see no reason not to take it. Didn't notice anything when I started taking it, but it's another gradual sneaky build up, so it's hard to tell if any changes are due to that or something else. And now, not taking it, my diet has slipped too, so again it's hard to say if my problems are from low creatine or that Edited March 4, 2017 by Strudul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine have really come along doing heavy ones. Also using various grips. Wide grip and close grip. 4 sets of standard grip (palms facing away from body) and reverse grip (palms facing me) Builds them top to bottom. I never used to do varied grip and width. Along with rear delts flyes the have really changed my back to a nice tapering V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strudul Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 You can vary grip in the exact same way with pull-ups too. I used to do a lot of isolation stuff, but gave up and decided at this stage I was better doing more strength oriented compound stuff to build a better base.

Strudul Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 (edited) Rarely eat veg. Same, but only because (along with, and especially fruit) it's so much effort and mess to prepare. Important though Edited March 4, 2017 by Strudul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Same, but only because (along with, and especially fruit) it's so much effort and mess to prepare. Important though Mr Strudul I thought you liked apples, especially in pies ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT350 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Meh. Not so important. I take a decent multivitamin with each meal. I did set out eating veg. Prepped meals of a Sunday and popped in tupperwear would see me set for 3 to 4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
