I couldnt fathom lifting 140kg in stone format
It's amazing how different pulling 140kg stone up is compared to a barbell. It's like it's twice as heavy.
Impressive stuff Morba, I bet you have a few scrapes and bruises from that
Thanks
Yeah forearms are a mess! Red raw and ready for big bruising to come up in a day or two lol
biceps are bruised, knees and teardrops are bruised also
It's nasty looking, along with body feeling like a crippled pensioner, but damn it feels good haha

Oh man, the DOMS are insane after Deadlifts yesterday.. Aching everywhere, including my core! I guess I did something right

Not seen last nights yet, but think I remember Thor and Jenkins getting through
watching last night thor looked a beast although eddie hall's a monster on the over heard press using just his arms and shoulders if he gets his technique in god only knows what he'd be up to.
did a good squat as well even with a tight hammy string. (or whatever he did to his leg). was a good showing if he stays injury free he should make next years final i bet with more strongman specific training as he admitted he'd been doing mainly bodybuilding stuff.

Yeah I've had a little chat to Ty, he started working for a door company just as I stopped working for them so might have had some cross over with him when I was over in Wales
Seems a nice bloke, so take advantage of his knowledge of where to train

If it happens in Merthyr then I might pop over and watch

Too good for us eh? or do you not qualify as novice now?
Caporegime
Still classed as a novice but at the moment it's a light novice comp, They don't want me doing light stuff lol.
Caporegime
Yeah lighter means needing to move faster haha, not gonna happen lol

Rbh though thats something I need to work on. I've been started to be called Steptoe and Diesel because I do everything pretty slow, no explosive strength just 1 speed and get the job done lol. Must change that!
Im in need of gaining weight and bulking up a little. Weight 10st and 6ft so very slim and a hard gainer, Eat loads but never gain anything.
Would love to join the gym but with my current job i have no time. My neighbour is pretty much giving away this http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3358230.htm which i might go for. I know its a little crappy and id be far better joining the gym but its a start.
Can anyone give me a daily routine that which includes the following:
Weight stack 65.8kg providing 90kg maximum resistance.
Bench press.
Butterfly press.
Pec dec.
Leg extension.
Arm curl.
Low rowing.
Triceps press.
Chest press.
Back leg curl.
Lat pull down.
Am i best to start with high weight and lower reps or the other way around??
Any advice would be appreciated as im a complete noob to all this.
Many Thanks
