    I added another 10kg on to my hexbar deadlift, I've gone from 58kg to 88kg. I could really feel when my form wasn't quite right so I'll slow it down a bit now.

    I couldn't be bothered to measure the milk in my tea and coffee so I just cut it out and added a little zero calorie coffee syrup until I got used to drinking them black.

    Pocket Watches

    Maybe a Hanhart? I think they still use the original manufacturing processes.

    Your deadlifts look a bit odd!

    244, the last week of supersets felt really good, so far my single sets have been great too! I'm up to 20kg for the barbell curl which is nice as I can incrementally increase it now that I'm curling a proper bar and not the fixed weights at the gym. I'm up to about 65kg on the assisted...

    I make my porridge using water and then add a scoop of vanilla whey isolate or casein and a pinch of salt - it's creamy, very filling and has more than 1g of protein per 10 calories. One thing to note is that you'll probably suffer from extreme wind for a week or so, but you soon adjust!

    I've just dropped from supersets of 15 reps to single sets of 6-10, it felt amazing! I added between 5 and 10kg onto all of my exercises but for some of them I felt like I could do more - should I go for it or do I run the risk of injuring myself?

    I've saved Dr Mike's full year plan for gaining and cutting next year, this year is essentially still one massive cut but hopefully I'll be trying to gain a little back in 2025!

    £25 a week extra on my state pension

    I'm not Richard - London but I'd like to have a go at solving this: 1. Introduce a compulsory pension scheme for all businesses. 2. Scrap National Insurance and increase income tax so that current pensioners pay more tax but also so that you can: 3. Remove the link between accruing pensionable...

    Should smart phones be banned for under 16s?

    Like many things, they're a useful tool if the correct measures are taken. My daughter's secondary school has a general rule that phones are to be turned off except for when they're used for tests - most of the homework apps have been designed primarily for smartphones and are pretty much gacha...

    Weight loss diary

    And back to 245, I'll be glad for the Easter holiday to be over so that I can get back into my routine days at the gym! I've not been perfect again this week- I definitely need to be stricter but it's been good to take a break from weighing absolutely everything, and eating the occasional bit...

    Anyone suffer from plantar fasciitis?

    It's undiagnosed but I'm pretty sure I have a mild form of this in my left heel, it's worse in the morning when getting out of bed until I've had a chance to stretch my legs. When I first started at the gym the treadmill caused me quite a lot of pain so I stuck to the elliptical which really...

    What watch do you wear?

    My first G-Shock! (And my first Casio) I was missing a blue watch from my collection.

    Air fryers

    I haven't tried stuffing them yet but it's definitely something that I'll be experimenting with, but I thought I'd try grilling them in the air fryer rather than cooking them in my taco mix. It really brought out the sweetness of the pepper. I'll have to try that with the jackets, I think I've...

    Air fryers

    I can't believe I've waited so long before trying peppers in the air fryer, it's a complete game changer!

    247, I didn't have a perfect weekend last week despite my last post but I'm still within my 1 pound calorie limit for the week so I think this may be water retention due to the creatine (or some salty meals!). I'm definitely at that stage of the programme where I'm comfortable with the...

    245 again, I thought it best to continue to record my weight so that I don't use creatine as an excuse to eat a bunch of crap. For each superset, I've continued to increase my weight or reps for at least one of the exercises. I don't know if it's the creatine, a placebo or if it's my body...

    I blame the obsession with making everything stretch fit - unless you pay close attention to the scales it can creep up on you.

    I've bought my first large sized piece of clothing - I think I must have been in my mid teens when I last fit into something this small!

    I think that's fine, unless you're melting it with a lighter under a spoon!
