I’ve given up any sort of structured training and am just putting together random upper and lower body sessions on my cobbled together equipment. Some mild weights feel very heavy

Lost the guts of 10kg since the start of the year so focusing on diet and cardio more than anything right now.

They don’t have any in the ones close to me unfortunately, been meaning to venture a little further afield but haven’t bothered yet

Stevus55

Was going to say you’re on your way to being a fitspo, just need to go viral somehow

Stevus55

Only thing I’m missing right now really is pull ups, nothing really suitable to improvise with and my wife would murder me if I damaged a door frame with one of those contraptions

Stevus55

Damn that’s a nice set up

Stevus55

Mine is consistently in the low-40’s whenever I happen to get it checked in the dr’s. I’m not very fit so asked about it last time and they said it’s fine, nothing to worry about. I do tend to get quite cold at times when sitting under a fan or AC vent, when my wife or coworkers sitting next to me w...

This is so boring

Stevus55

Just saw it, the speed of it

Stevus55

Ahhhh that pushing instead of pulling looks good. Feel like I’m going to put my back out pulling at times

Stevus55

I got a large and thought I’d be fine, pulling them on is the hardest part of most workouts though

The SBD sizing is hilarious, 3XS - 5XL

Stevus55

SBD have a sizing guide on their website, takes your calf, knee and quad measurements I think.

Manbun and ginger beard? State of you.
I can picture him typing on a macbook air.

It’s a Pro actually

Managed to pick up a rickety old bench, a barbell and about 200lbs if plates yesterday. The guys we got the bar and plates from make a living from buying out old gyms and reselling the equipment. They said it’s been crazy with the demand from people, they’re trying to still give fair prices but stil...

Managed to track down a bench, barbell, and some plates today

I’m wasting away

Decided to continue cutting as I figured it would be a goal to chase while I can’t get strong. Unfortunately bands and a pair of 25lbs dumbbells aren’t really enough so Im getting a hit scrawny

Stevus55

Was actively trying to cut fat so weight was trending down anyway, but muscle has fallen off me lately as I’ve lost access to proper weights. Pushups only go so far

Stevus55

Coming into week 2 of working from home. I am SICK of it, to put it mildly.

Stevus55

Gym finally closed today

They also closed our local beaches here in FL. Literally the only things I’ve left the house for this week have been the gym and walking on the beach

One just drove past my house as I read this post!

More gym this morning. Place was deserted at the start. Genuinely could have done some superset which involved 5 separate racks. Closing Sunday, so going to go while I can. Today was supposed to be mas effort DLs, but my body is breaking down from skippign the last deload. Ah well. Managed a single...

Logistics - market is pretty chaotic right now and I work for a relatively small player but should be able to weather it. Biggest roadblock I’ve run into so far is customers with nothing to ship as it’s all stuck in China

Stevus55

Patriots and Bears are apparently looking at Foles

Stevus55

Local authorities here have banned gatherings of more than 50 people, apparently my gym was keeping people outside and waiting until somebody left before letting somebody in. Good bye 2hr powerlifting workouts

Stevus55

Got sent home to work remotely for the foreseeable future today. Shit is hitting the fan over here, we had great weather in Florida this weekend and the beaches and bars were packed. State and local authorities have clamped down and Trump is finally starting to follow suit as they were making him lo...

Stevus55

Yeah I don’t think many people will be turned off by this if they haven’t been turned off already. Trumps whole game of ignoring issues and then blaming other people really works unfortunately. Biden's done well to paint a fairly decent contrast between the two of them. We'll see, not sure about an...

I’m going to need all you guys to stop lifting heavy weights, it’s making me jealous. I’m coming to the end of a cut and while I look better now, I feel weak as a baby.

It’s a disaster over here, nobody believes the media and if one side says anything the other side is hell bent on going the other way.

Stevus55

Reading Floppy’s experiences has set something gnawing at the back of my mind. I am a permanent emigrant and my brother and sister are both living abroad for the next few years at the very least. The thought of one of my parents coming down with a debilitating illness and none of us being there for ...

Interesting to see the difference in attitudes back home, today everybody in my office in Florida had a tantrum over the fans being banned from college basketball games. ‘It’s a free country, I’ll go to a basketball game if I want’

Stevus55

Great lift

Stevus55

It’s the only thing that worries me about self isolation. I could quite happily stay home for weeks on end except for the gym.

Stevus55

I get the same thing, it’s easy to let the weight get lower than my squat mobility really allows and my back/pelvis curls a bit. I really have to focus on doing what almost feels like half reps. I like to go slow on the way down, pause and then explode back up. Feels like it has the most carryover t...

You just get told you're being hysterical and to shut up. Will of the people bollocks is all pervasive on social and traditional media, SF are good at keeping it on both. Lads like Blindboy are opportunists. He's the kinda lad who would criticise corporation tax levels while praising the artist's e...

Stevus55

I’ve been doing paused squats lately as I’ve been cutting and have backed off heavier weights. Loving them surprisingly. Managed a paused triple at 150kgs last night, down about 10lbs body weight too.

Stevus55

Sewa assures us blindboy is a genius though. I've a lot of time for his content outside of his social values stuff. I had to stop listening to him for a bit when the take back the streets protests and the occupying Apollo House were taking place. Some of his interviews are very good and I could lis...

I find that a lot of fitness channels really struggle to get past the content basics, I don’t watch Shaw or Eddie Hall but from what I see from their thumbnail/title they do a lot of ‘10,000 calories in one sitting’ and ‘kicked out of planet fitness for deadlifting????’ type videos. They get old fas...
